money. Wnile all these figures w re gedng
in, counsel for Senator Quay sat tdlur.t
and motionless, listening to the m >noto«-
ous routine of questions and insw« r .
This was lnpursuance of an un lot-stand-
ing that the deJeiis,- objected to vfiy
answer, that the objection w.is overruled
and an exception noted. This is for fu-
ture uso in a higher court, if necessary.
Once Mr. Shields felt constrained to in-
ter a protest against a witness b<ng
permitted to place a man's liber :y in Jeo-
pardy by making such monstrous suEle-
ments, based merely on e-ojijec't.re
There Is r.o doubt that nearly all of the
expert's deductions and figures ob-
tained from tfhe red book, about which
so much has been said, and against ih->
introduction of which the Quay counsel
made such vehement and unavailing ob-
jection.

Philadelphia, April 17—Meyer Goldsmllh
the commonwealth's expert accountant,
•was on the stand all day In the trial of
Senator Quay. making statements of fact
ithatare apparently damaging to the main
-witnesses for the prosecution, and it !s
through him that all the documentary
"evidence is to bo presented. This w'tness
has examined the books of tho ban*
thoroughly, and he « ,imc Into court '.his
morning with a number of typewritten
sheets containing figures 'that he had
gathered from tho various books, relating
mainly to the deposit of Ithe state treas-
urer and ti: account of Quay. Ho swore
to the correctness of his work and th?n
the district attorney formally offered tnc
paper in evidence. This was objected to
toy the -defense on th.- ground that such a
■paper iw not testimony. It was Insisted
that the books themselves shoulil be plac-
ed before tho witness and his statements
Uttered from what he saw entered In
•them. The judge decided in favor of the
defense. thtis giving that side the firs:
piece of comfort it has experienced since
the trial began. Although rhe defense has
apparently gained this point, the paper
was practically in evidence, witness Gold
smith using its contents in framing ills
answers to the ^district attorneys ques-
tions. When the Quay lawyers objected
to this, they were met with the judge's
explanation that while the paper could
not be used as sworn evidence, the wit-
neps might use it to refresh hU memory.
One effort was to make it certain that
the case will not go to the jury, there
(having been some doubt on this poij£|
upon the decision to admit all that Go.d-
smith might have to say. Just before-
close of the day's proceedings there was
another ruling b\ judge Riddle In favor
of the defense which might have an im-
portant bearing on the case. The statute
of limitations have l>eon pleaded time and
iline ag i|n by Quay's lawyers as a ba
to much -of the testimony jir«seated by
the commonv.i ltii. As Mr. Quay was in
dieted on November 1898. the t« *o years
allowed by the statute for prcsecution
would extend only to November 17, ISM.
On t'hls basis Mr. "Watson has frequent-
ly urged Judge Biddle to the act. Th*
,mention of transactions dating back to
1SSG when Mr. Quay was stat? treasure.*.
Tho -court has uniformly held in effect
fhat--ithe statute of limita i >us does not
.afreet t'hc evidence but d dcs effect ths
crime.
NO BACK EVIDENCE.
Tho district attorney pointed out that
iihe alleges the dependents guilt during .he
two years the law confines him to, and
.-to prove this -the corroborating evidence
of the previous years should certainly I o
(admitted The judge ruled against the com
tmonwealtJi and the Quay luvyeen wer«
very happy. Ho ruled that the e\i-Jenc®
Should be confined to the conspiracy ,'Xl-
deged and not relato to somo other con-
spiracy.
It is Interesting to note that there was
every indication that the judge was in-
oiined to rule against Mr. Quay when
Mr. Watson who has a suave, persuasive
style, got Into another little speech, slm.
llar «to several lio had made during th«
day, and begged the court to consider
•the point that the prosecution had so
far*failed to make a specific conspiracy
and that this Should he done before it
■went Into the general question of con-
spiracy. The judge took this view and
milod accordingly. The lawyers for the
defonso claim that the decision practi-
cally rules out the figures prior to No-
vember 17, 189t>. Mr. Rothermal says its
effect will be to prevent him from Intro,
during much of the evidence he hoped
tlo present.
All day long. Mr. Goldsmith reid out
•figures taken from the bank books em
bracing the various settlement periods of
six months, dating back to October, 31,
3893, showing the amount of the stat. de-
posit, the amount loaned to Senator Quay

SIR ANDREW CLARK'S OPINION ON
THE PHILIPPINES.
London, April IS—The Daily Chronicle
publishes this morning an interview with
Lieut. Sir Andrew Clarke, agent genera!
for Victoria and Tasmania, and for Gov-
ernor and commander in chief of the
Straits settlement regarding Amerlc1:*
policy In the Philippin< s.
Sir Andrew urges a thorough under-
standing of the native character and a
national government as far as possible.
They would show the natives tht this
would be a better outlet for capital and
they would thus be depriving the enemy
of the sinews of war.
After that, he continues .they would
buy out the religious orders, with the
sanction of the pope and attach the secu-
lar clergy in some way to the adminis-
tration, securing their powerful influence.
"Underlying everything" Sir Andrews
says, "must be the good will of the na-
tives. Then, with carefully selected ad-
ministrators, the United States would
have nothing to fear from the Filip'nos."
The interview was supplemented by a
report based r.*.pon the experience of Brit-
ish administrations In th straits settle-
ment.
