Recant Denlviuiw are Aga'nst Sucli Metll-a-Two of the Jurors Vo'eil at First For a Verdict, of Gnilly, anil One Held Out a loot's Time. fHiLADEr.pmA, Arril 2S Former Btale Senator Mntthew Stanley Qnay was, nn Friday of weeK. declared not frailty of the charge of to rs.

for his own nr. lawful gain 9111I profit frmrts of the State of Pantisvlvnnia in the People's Bank of this city. The verdict was announced at 11 A. M. There witn attempt a demonstration, but this wps sternly repressed by the court officers whose loud shouts of and "SlleDce were effective in quietlne those who wiFbfd to elve vent to their satisfaction by cheering.

The officers were unable, however, to feen back those who struggled to get near Wr. Quay and congratulate him. Chairs were upset, tables were brushed aside and ha's were smashed bv the onrnsblrg crowd. Mr. Quav, with a broad smile on his face responded cordially lo the greetings and congratulations of those who crowded around.

A. few of his closest political friends were present and these men were very loud and sincere In their expres' ions Mr. Quay did not look at the jury or in anyway express gratitude for the verdict In his favor. His friends surrounded the Jurors, patted them on the back and told them they were heroes. I The only comment of Mr.

Quay on the verdict was: Well, I expected it." The case went to the jury at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon and four ballots were taken before the final decision was reached. The first ballot stood 10 to 2 for acquittal, the next, stood 11 to 1. The one holding out 'or conviction afterward modified hlB reasons for conviction and finally voted for acquittal. The jurors wbo stood ont at first ir conviction were Charles Penzler, shoemaker, and Edward Bevan, bouso painter. Penzler vo'ed for oequittal after the first, ballot, but Bevan bald out until ths morning when the final ballot was taken.

Three indictments remain against Mr. Quay. District Attorney Kothermel said regarding these that he could not say what bis course would be. In two of the Indictments Mr. Quay Is charged with conspiring with Cashier Hopkins, of the People's Kant, and former State Treasurer Haywood, as In the one under which he was acquitted The remaining Indictment charged him with conspiring Jointly with his son, Richard The last named charge grew out of the loan of $100,000 to young Quay, obtained, It is alleged, through a deposit of tnat mnch State money in the People's Bank.

Mr. Quay's lawyers say the district attorney picked out for the trial just ended the Indlotment on which he could mske the best case and that he will not dare bring the other cases to the bar. APPOINTED UNITED STATES SENATOR. Harbisbukg, April 28. As soon as Governor Stone received the news that Mr.

Qiay had been acquitted be appointed him United States Senator to fill the vaoanoy until the Dext legislature meets. The Uov-ernor notified Vice-President Hougrt as follows Sir: By virtue of the power vested in me as executive of the State of Pennsylvania under article 1. clause 2, section 3, of the Constitution uf the nnited States, I hereby make temporary appointment of the Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay lo be United States Henntoi from Pennsvlvanla until the next meeting of the Pennsylvania Legislature to fill tin vacancy now existing in this Btate." Gjveruor Stone said that in appointing Mr. Quay be felt that he had done the proper thing." The clause of the constitution to which Governor Stone refers in his letter to Vice-President Hobart, the presiding officer of the Senate, provides for tbe election of Senators by Legislature and says: And if vacancies happen by resignation or otherwise, during the recess of tue Legislature of auy Siate, the executive thereof my mak9 temporary appointments until the next meeting of tne legislature, which shall then fill Buch vacancies.

The precedent which is regarded as app.l-cable in the case of Mr. Quay is that which the Senate msde in 1S93. when Lee Mantle, of Montana, A. C. Keckwith.

of Wyoming, and John B. Allen, of Washington, all claimed seats in the Senate by gubernatorial appointment becanse their respective Legislatures had failed to elect. Mr. Man. tle'B caf was regarded aB a test for all three and was decided adversely as to the appli.

cants for vests. Mr. Qnay voted agilnst seating Mr antle. Attdei to the Senate's vote of 31 to 28 against Mi-otle, Heekwith and Allen, August 28, lS9t, was the more recent vote, when Uen-V W.Corbett.of Oregon. was refused his Seat.

The ground ofth declson against Mantle and the otbors was that the cnoice of Pnlted Stales Sen tors from any State was a function of the 1 cgislature and should be so car-rlf out wl the Legislature has a fair opportunity to elect. Kxtraordinsry carps, such as de'hs or resignations when Legisla tures we in session, are regarded as affording prop opportunities for gubernatorial appointment. It will also be held in the case of Mr. Quay that the vacancy did not occur "during a receBS of the Legislature," as the constitution says, it while the Legislature was in session. His term expired March 4.

A Washington dispatch in a recent Issue of the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, say: It 1 pointed out, In the case of Mr. Quay, the constitution of Pennsylvania erects a barrier in addition to that of the construction of the law by the Senate in several cases. The constitution of Pennsylvania distinctly siys that when there is a vacancy inthesen-atorshlp the Governor shallcnll toretlierthe Legislature within sixty davs 10 elect his succesor. This not onvto vacancies causad in a regular way. but.

I took chnrga of his case at once, and he Is now eo much lmrroved that we will leave here Tuesday March 28th, by Intcroceanic Railroad, a distance of aoout 400 rnlhs, to Vere Cruz, where we the Ward Line Steamer, Orlz iba," of the New York Cuban Mail, leaving Vera Cruz Wednesday March 29, about 3 p. ro. by way of Havana, stopping one day, and then to New York City arriving there about April 7th and reaching Baltimore April 8th.

The city of Mexico has about 300,000 in-hibitauts including many Americans, and I get along very well without speaking much Spanish, as most of tha large stores and hotels have at least one employer who cm speak both English and Spanish. Toe sireets are narrow compared 1,0 our streets and are swept and sprinkled by peons or laborers. Who use an ordinary broom, either with no handle or else a very long handle with a mop on the end and clean entire width of pavement in one sweep, and use ordinary small sprinklers. Each property owner is obliged to sweep and sprinkle his own pavement at least once a day. Street curs are numerous, and always conveyed by mula or burro power, and when the driver comes to a cross street he blows a cow-horn to notify pedestrians of the danger of being run over.

A Mexican "Corgador," or carrier, carries everything upon his head or back. Sometimes you see milkmen delivering milk in large earthen jars strapped on the back of a bnrro. Drinking water is frequently conveyed in the same way. The value of money changes almost daily as silver rises or falls. I gave tn.9 tick agent at Larado twenty dollars onrmniy for which he gave me 32 2U and a sleeping car ticket to Mexico City, worth $9.00 One dollar In Mexican money is only worth 48 cents In onr money.

The ladies of Mexican households seldom concern themselves much about marketing, bat trust to servants, and surplus supplies are seldom laid in. Most'of the work about hotels Is done by linen.

Mexican artisan is paid about 76 cents a day. A Mexican peon or laborer may have but a shirt on hiB back, pantaloons and sandals, but you will find him always wearing a Bilver embroidered sombrero or hat, weighing about fonr tlmeB an much as all tbe rest of his wardrobe com blned and costing from $5 to $15, although be may have to live on tortlllsge and frijoles at a cost of about 6 cents per dozan 'o save money enough to buy the sombrero.

Mexico is a land of many tongues, trat above the Indian dialects and Spanish there is one tiniversal language the language of signs. It is the most expressive of all the Mexican eye and hand are eloquent members. It is capable of infinite variation.

Its shadings and suggestions are beyond all translation. But there are certain gestures that have a fixed meaning, a signification well understood by every nation and every tribe from Guatemala to Texas. A general upward movement of the body, shoulders shrugged, eyebrows raised, lips pouted and palms outspread, varies in meaning from "I don't know and I don't care" to a most respectful, "Really, sir, I do not understand yon. The index finger moved rapidly from right to left generally before the face means "No more" or simply "No." To move the right hand palm outward from the body toward another person means "Just wait; I'll be even with you yet. The index finger on the temple moved with a boring twist means "He's drunk.

The right hand held to the lips, three fingers doubled, thumb and little finger erect, varies from "He drinks" to "Have one with me." To move the open hand over the cheek in imitation of a razor has reference to the idiom "playing the barber" and means "to flutter." All four fingers and tho thumb held points together and moved toward the mouth means "to eat." The right hand held before tho face, the two middle fingers moving rapidly is a familiar salutation.
