Last November the body of the Koden
miller boy was found hidden under a
box in a gravel pit. and policemen
frightened young Oland into a semi

ipiittal. The mystery of the crime,
which was the third of a series of
three murders within a few days of

Washington, April 25.--The Adminis
tration officials ane indignant toward
tlie people of tlie United States who,
they say, are endeavoring, by causing
dissatisfaction among the troops in the
Philippines, to weaken the American
]R)sition, with the obect of forcing the
Government to abandon the islands*
Major-Gen. Otis says, in explanation of
the dissatisfaction among the volun
teers, that a number of seditious and
treasonable telegrams were received at
Manila from the United States for dis
tribution among the troops. A Cab
inet- officer is authority for the state
ment that there is a concerted move
ment in this country to prevent, by un
derhanded and treasonable means, the
Government from obtaining possession
of the. Philippines, lie further says,
"It is the present intention of the Ad
ministration to make a public exposure
of the plot, with the names of those
concerned in it. when all the detail*
are obtainable.
There is no concealment of the fact
that the Government was very much
surprised and chagrined over the ni>-
parent desire of a majority of the vol
unteers now in tho Philippines to re
turn home at once. Telegrams received
recently from Geu. Otis had said that
the volunteers were cheerful and en
thusiastic and were unanimous in the
desire to remain while there was light
ing to do. These despatches were sent
by Ceil. Otis, supposedly alter he had
made careful inquiry as to the feeling
of the State organizations, and know
ing liow how conservative lie is in all
things, tin* Administration was satis
fied tha' it was easy sailing with the
troops. ft. was, therefore, with the
most intense surprise that the Govern
ment: learned Hint t In* volunteers, or a
majority ol iheiii. wanted i«» return to
ilie I'liited States when pence between
ibis country and Spain was declared.
I'nder the terms ol' this enlistment
1 hey are entitled to immediate muster
oui of the Federal service as soon as
pence was declared, and tin* provision
ol' 1 lie Army Keorganlzation act for
l lie retention of ibose volunteers now
in the Philippines for an additional
period of six months was not compul
sory in its application.
Lnoiigh information lias been re
volve from Gen. «Mis, taken ill connec
tion with what the Administration lias
ascertained in ibis country, to Justify
the assertion made by a prominent
official that their is a concerted move
ment in tW l"nlted States to compel
the Government to relinquish coijfrol
of the Philippines. Anti-expansionists
have been sending letters to the sol
diers ill the Philippines, urging them
to insist upon being allowed to return
home. It is stated on authority of this
same Cabinet officer that there will be
a • omploto public exposure of the per
sons. but this may be changed to a de
termination to proceed against them
through the proper tribunals, with a
view to furnishing them. To iisehisown
language: "Leaving out ol' considera
tion the other matters involved, ii is
said thai the Government can collect
enough evidence to convict some peo
ple in this country of the crime of at
tempting to incite United States troops
to mutiny."
In his telegram Gen. Otis did not tell
the names of flu- persons in the L'nit
ed States who had sent the telegrams
which excited bis indignation. A de
spatch has accordingly been sent to
iiiin asking liiin for particulars.

slow. Secretary of the Anti-imperialis
tic League, said that the charge was
ridiculous t oncoming the implication
of treason in the act of writing letters
lo soldiers iu the Philippines urging
them to withdraw. Mr. Wiuslow said
that there was no such filing as trea
son except an overt act against the
Government. Constructive treason was
not recognized by the Constitution of
the United States. lie declared that
it was of course imposible to tell what
some individuals might have attempt
ed io do. whose indignation had been
excited by the President's action, lie
continues:
"If there is to be auy punishment
inflicted it should be by way of im
peachment of the President, who em
ployed the army and navy of the na
tion in war against tile people of the
Philippines with the avowed purpose
of destroying their nrmy and of re
ducing the people to admit the sover
eignty of our Government, while it Is
not pretended that this war wns de
clared by Congress, in which body
alone, under our Constitution, theriglit
to declare war exists."
Mr. Wiuslow intimated that it would
be difficult for anybody to elude the
press censorship and get despatches to
the Philippines. The complaint all
along hits been that the press censor
ship was so rigid thai nobody knew
what was going oil in the Philippines.
That, was one of the chief things criti
cised in the anti-imperialist meeting in
Trenonf Temple.

(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, April 25. -Colonel Mat
thew Stanley Quay lias been coniplete
ly vindicated by a jury ot his piers in
tlie trial growing out of a dastardly
conspiracy of his political enemies.
Twelve American citizens, "good moil
and true,',' liuve found a verdict of "not
guilty" in what will he memorable as
the most celebrated case in court in
the political history of this country.
This closing chapter in the history
*!' persecution and character assassina
tion was marked by scenes such as
have never been paralleled in and
about a Philadelphia court room. The
minute the verdict was announced it
was pandemonium iet loose. Men
shouted antl tossed their lints and
surged about this silent but happy
man. Women cried, waved their hand
kerchiefs and tried to throw their arms
about ills neck, in the midst of it all
Quay, dignified, silent, with face as
imperturbable as ever, grasped hands
as thev came and vainly tried to elbow
his way to a place where he could lie
alone.
lie said hut few words, but there
was a softness In the tone of his voice
as he repeatedly murmured "Thank
you." Ho felt more than he said, for to
him it was the llood tide of light after
the hour of darkness. His triumph had
come and. best of all, tins man who
has been hounded as few have been
hounded before, saw and heard and
felt that the people were with him.
THIS VERDICT RECEIVED.
It was a few liilnut* before 11
o'clock on Friday last when the jury
appeared in court and Crier Hart
stepped forward and iu cold, official ac
cents said: "Gentlemen of the jury, arc
you agreed upon your verdict?"
Foreman Hill, who is a blonde haired
young man. nodded his head as lie
Answered: "Yes, sir."
THE VERDICT.
"How say you? Do you find the de
fendant guilty or not guilty?"
"Not guilty," came the answer iu a
voice that could be heard all over the
room."
If the jurors answered to the next
Question, "And so say you all?" no one
heard it.for the first "burst of a
cheer," suppressed by the louder yells
of 'silence" from the tipstaves,
drowned the words. Every one rose to
his feet, and the yells of "silence"
were followed by cries of "sit down."
"sit down."
Quay himself came near giving way.
His Jaw quivered an instant, his eyes
grew moist, but he recovered himself
as the big and burly Shapley grasped
his hand, excxlainiing. "Let me con
gratulate you. senator." Mr. Shields
was pouring out his congratulations at
the same time.
Outside in the corridor there was no
judge to he respected and no ofilcer to
quell tlie tumuit. for they were all too
busy cheering with the rest. He at last
managed to edge Ills way to the cor
ridor. Hut it was getting from the
frying pan Into the lire. It wasn't a
crowd that was waiting for him. It was
a mob drunk with joy, mad with en
thusiasm. Cheer after cheer rent the
air and.hats flew up with the reckless
ness of frenzy. The guards made no
effort to quell the tumult. They were
yelling and cheering with the rest. It
took the senator nearly ten minutes to
reach the corner where the elevators
are located, lie at last managed to get
clear of the mob.
ANOTHER OVATION.
The news had already reached the
first floor, and another howling, cheer
ing mob was waiting for the senator,
who began to show signs of fear for
the first time in his life. It was the
same thing on the street, only worse,
and when lie reached the corner of
11 road ;tnd Chestnut streets the sena
tor vas in the center of a surging
throng that must have numbered more
than a thousand persons. Crowds of
women, who a moment before had
been shopping, caught the infection
and shouted and stamped and waved
their handkerchiefs. Only by the nar
rowest chance did the silent statesman
escape from being Hobsonized then
and there, for more than one excited
woman tried to throw her arms about
his neck. It was a grand testimonial
to the American sense of fair play.
At last, by a superhuman effort, tho
"old man" managed to tear his way
through the people and with a run he
gained the entrance to the Title
building. Several women, better run
ners than the others, were at his heels
and were only prevented from getting
in the elevator by the slamming of tho
door.
The senator went direct to Lawyer
Sliapley's office, where he was met by
his son, Richard R. Quay, and a num
ber of his personal friends. The greet
ing between father and son was affec
tionate in the extreme.
OFF FOR WASHINGTON.
The senntor was still disinclined to
talk, but when some one excitedly de
nounced Martin. Wanathaker and Gor
don. he remarked with a smile: "Well,
they made lots of trouble for me." A-?
soon as the excitement had died down
Colonel Quay slipped down to the Wal
ton. packed up. and with his son
Richard and Private Secretary Wright,
took the first train for Washington.
At the Walton and at the depot t'.ie
senator had to hold two more recep
tions. Those that witnessed the scene
at the station say it was almost with
out parallel. The hero of the day was
almost in danger of his life, and cheers
still echoed In his ears as the train
Dulled out.
senator Quay had left town when
Ihe announcement of his appointment
as United States senator was wired i
from Harrisburg. The net ion of Gov
ernor Stone only added fuel to the fire
of enthusiasm, and the plaudits for the
executive were as plentiful as werXtbfl
tributes to Quay.
A JUST \ ERDICT. J
Not even Senator Quay's worst
enemy—if he be sane—can gainsay the
fact that the verdict was just. The
odds were all against acquittal. The
district attorney took every advantage
of his privilege to stand jurors aside,
;ind he held the whip hand when the
12 men were selected. Judge Middle
also gave the prosecution the widest
latitude and they presented all they
had. which was —nothing.
District Attorney Kothermel, al
though he lost the case, made his repu
tation as a criminal lawyer. He was a ,
mm «.'li for the other side at every point.
'I h e only reason he lost was that he
had no case to start with. But during
th? entire trial Mr. Kothermel was not
only a great and ingenuous attorney, ,
lull he was a gentle man. The case was 1
a legacy left him by his predecessor.
It had been born during the closing
agonies of Graham, and conceived
when lie first tasted the bitter cup of
defeat. The trial itself has been re
markable in many ways. It was at the
close of the tenth dav that the ca3e
was submitted to the jury.
