QUAY FILES DEMURRERS. Motion toQnanh tha-Indictment Matte By HU Counsel. Philadelphia, Nov. 19. The greet Quay conspiracy case came up in the court of quarter sessions yesterday and was argued for nearly three hours be fore Judge Flnletter. Demurrers were filed by the defense to four of the five Indictments, and a motion to quash the fifth was made. The latter was on the Indictment In which the Haywood letter to the People's bank figured, no tifying the bask that he would, as state treasurer, deposit 1100,000, and that Iltchard It. Quay was to borrow $100. 000 from the bank. After arguments by Rufua E. Shapiey and A. 8. U Shields for the defense and District At torney Graham court was adjourned until today. Judge Flnletter reserving his decision. The chief point In the argument for the defense appeared to be that when ntate money was deposited In a bank It ceased to be state money and be came the personal property of the bank. It was admitted that the funds were deposited In the People's bank as al leged, but It was contended that If burglar had stolen that money he would have taken the bank's money and not that of the state. This simile was used to prove that If the defendants borrowed the money they secured the bank's money and not the state's. STEAMBOAT BOILER EXPLODES. The Casualty IlemiH In Six Death ami 8m Thirty Injured. Stockton, Col., Nov. 28. The most disastrous river accident In the his tery of Stockton occurred yesterday near Fourteen Mile Slough, when a part of one of the boilers of the river steamer T. C. Walker, which left 8an Francisco about 6 o'clock Saturday night, was blown out. killing six and dangerously wounding 11 persons, while probably 15 or 20 were more or less badly hurt. The T. C. Walker Is owned by the California Navigation and Im provement company, and ran between San Francisco and Stockton. The dead are: John Tulan, captain of the T. C. Walker; T. C. Blunt, the agent In charge of the shipping of sugar beets from the Moss tract to the Crockett factory; Watson Henry, engineer of the T. C. Walker; Mrs. Henry, wife of the chief engineer; Jerry Daily, fireman; Ferdinand Law, of Seattle. Of the wounded James Cor coran, deckhand, will probably die. The majority of the passengers were In bed when the explosion occurred, and were awakened by the renort, which was as loud as a cannon's doar. People rushed from their rooms In their night clothes. The whole forward portion of the steamer's upper works were blown away. The electric lights had been put out and the escaping steam enveloped the front portion of the boat till it was Impossible to see how much of the boat had been carried away. The crew, asleep below deck, were terribly scalded by the escaping steam, and some may die. The steamer Dauntless rescued the survivors. reading and the.

The Span i med to be rollevod at liavlua HAVANA'S FATAL EXPLOSION. Thlrty-elirht Persons, Mainly Chll oren. Killed or Injured. Havana, Nov. 29. A box of powder exploded yesterday near the Helna bat tery, resulting In the death or more or less serious injury of 38 persons. Many boxes of powder were stored In a pri vate house, which also contained five rooms full of Mauser and other cart ridges. The careless handling of ono of the boxes of powder or of one of the boxes of cartridges caused the ex plosion. Nobody was killed outright by the explosion, but three of the injured died yesterday nfternoon. and the condition of most of the others Is more or less critical. At least 15 are not expected to live. It was a miracle that the Im mediate loss of life was not great. A man known as Jeronimo Smith bnd acquired several hundreds of thousands of cartridges, many of an old pattern, at the various military depots here, for a mere song, and was arranging to lurn his Investment to account by re moving the gunpowder from each pro jectile, with a view to a better sale at a profit. To this end he hired about 60 boys and girls, with a few men and women, to do the work. The victims ire mainly children. ON THE COAST. New England Felt the Fort of Sunday's Big Storm. AH APPALLING L0S3 OF LITE. It Is Definitely Known That Seventy Have Been Drowned, and It la Likely That the List Will Be Inoreased to at LNt a Ilundred and Forty. Boston. Nov. 29. It Is definitely known that more than 70 lives have been lost in the wrecks of tugs, schoon ers and coal barges during the storm of Saturday night and Sunday morn ing, and If the steamer Portland has also gone down, as now seems probable, the list of casualties will rise to 140, with over 100 vessels of ail descriptions ashore, two score of them total wrecks and an unknown number probably be neath the waves of Massachusetts bay. There Is scarcely a bay, harbor or Inlet from the Penobscot to New London that has not on Its shores the bones of some staunch craft, while along Mass achusetts bay, and especially Boston harbor, the beaches are piled high with the wreckage of schooners and coal barges. Tho record, although hourly lengthening, is still Incomplete, for that ocean graveyard of Cape Cod is still to be beard from, and as It has nivcr yet failed to give up some grim tale at such a time lt probably will not be found lacking on such an occasion. The annoyance and Inconvenience of the railroads and street car embargo, covering the whole of southern New England, sunk Into insignificance be fore the story of destruction wrought by wind and wave, yet It will be many a day before the full Import of the dis aster Is known or even realized.

A CHANCE FOR P1CQDART . - eeaBBses.esese Els Court Martial Now Likely to Be Postponed, THOUGH THE CHAMBES VOTED HO Flcnt of VomhoIh vriport Out. Vineyard Haven, Mass., Nov. 23. The fierce northeast storm struck this port Saturday night and continued all day Sunday with great violence. It swept out of existence a large fleet of sailing ves sels which atirliered off this port to eseape its fury. It Is known that at least four men have perished, and It Is prooable that as many more have lost their lives. Twenty-one schooners, nearly all heavily laden, and one bark entlne are ashore, four schooners now lying at anchor are totally dismasted, two others were sunk and one bark Is resting on the bottom, entirely sub merged. Many other vessels were bat tered and partially stripped of their rigging. Father. Son nud (irnndeon I.ot. Salem, Mass., Nov. 29. The schooner Bertha A. Gross, which carried 260 tons of stone, struck on the rocks near Fresh Island Sunday, and soon was a total wreck. The captain and his son and aged father were swept overboard and drowned. The other two members of the crew, Neil McDonald and Heie klah Rolibins, managed to reach shore on House Island, a barren place, with no shelter, and were forced to remain there until released yesterday. They were nearly dead from exposure and hunger. McDonald's feet were froien. and he Is In a critical condition. Documents FonaerlyDeated the Court of Caseation Will Be Turned Over by the Government oo the Demand of the Const. Parts, Nov. 19. The minister of war, M. De Freyclnet. In the chamber of deputies yesterday, refused to Inter vene In the Plcquart affair, and the house approved the government's dec laration, regarding the separation of military and civil powers, by a vote of 437 to 71. During the debate tbe presi dent of the chamber was frequently obliged. to Intervene In order to quiet tbe uproar on all sides. M. pnincare. Republican, made an Impassioned speech, tn the course of which he said It was not necessary to confound the army with a few Im prudent men. While the members of the court martial were above suspicion, the prosecution of Plcquart savored ot reprisal. Colonel Plcquarfs secret Im prisonment, M. Polncare further as serted, was beyond all precedent, and there were guilty persons, he claimed, who were enjoying scandalous Im munity, M. Polncare. who was minister of public Instruction In 1853-91, created a sensation by adding: "We were attacked for the Dreyfus prosecution In 1891. but I learned of the Dreyfus affair through the newspa pers." M. Barthou. who was minister of public works in 1894, here interjected: "I am ready to Indorse the words of M. Polncare, which are true." This called forth more applause and exclamations of "It Is absurd." "It Is inconceivable." Thereupon M. Poln care added: "The only proof of Dreyfus' guilt In 1894 consisted of the bordereau. No cabinet minister, nor even the presi dent of the council of ministers, heard any mention of the confessions Dreyfus In alleged to have made to Captain Lehrun-Renault." M. Cassagnac, the former minister of war, said: "General Mercler secured these con fessions." General Mercler was minister of war at the time of the Dreyfus trial. M. Polncare continued: "Captain Lebrun-Renault, when he was examin ed by the president of the council, did not mention the Dreyfus confession." M. Polncare concluded by saying: "Silence has weighed heavily upon me, and I am now happy to have had the opportunity to tell what I know of the ease." M. De Freyclnet said: "The gov ernment, on assuming office, found the proceedings pending. We have only one anxiety, and that Is lo ascertain the truth; We do not object to furnish ing the court of cassation with all the evidence available, excepting the evi dence Involving the national defense." After another appeal from M. Mlller and for a postponement of the Plc quart court martial. M. Dupuy. the premier, declared that the Dreyfus af fair "must remain purely judicial, as the only means of reaching the truth, which may now be attained." "We decline to order a postponement of the court martial." said the premier. "To rive such an order, even If we had the right, would be to strike a blow at the principle of separation of the public powers. It is not within the province of parliament or the govern ment to adjust the connection which may exist between the Dreyfus and Flcquart case.

THE NOVEMBER BLIZZARD. Several pond and Dying Pontons ricked t'p In tho Snow. New York. Nov. 2S. The storm of Saturday and Sunday In and about New York was the severest since the memorable blizzard of 18H8. The wind blew at the rate of 6D miles an hour, and the snowfall In the city, the weather bureau reports, was about 10 Inches, Philadelphia. 9 Inches; Huston. 6 Inch es: Portland, Me., i Inches: Albany, a little over an Inch. Tho lowest tern- ; peratures reported were: New York city. 25; Albany. 18. ! An order was sent out from police headquarters to the various precinct commanders to have arrested all per sons found alone In a condition that 1 would raise even the suspicion of In toxlcntlon. As a result the police courts yesterday were crowded with eminently 1 respectable looking persons, who were let go with a small tine and an ad monition to get out of the snow. Not withstanding this precaution on the part of the police there were a number of casualties, including several death from exposure. In this city six per sons, Including a woman, were found unconscious, two dying in the hospital and the others being in a precarious condition. In Jersey City four men and n woman were picked up. two of them dead. fuse to be a government of arbitrary measure." The order of the day. approving the statements of the government respect ing the principle of the separation of the Judicial and executive powers, was then adopted by a vote of 437 to 73. In the lobbies of the chamber Mr. Dupuy's speech was interpreted as an Invitation to the court of cassation to ! ask fir the production of the petit bleu and other documents In the Pic- quart case, which the government i Pandusky. would immediately produce, thus Indi rectly leading to a postponement of the court martial, which the government has refused to grant under dure. The vote In the chamber enables the antl-Dreyfusltes to sing a song of vic tory, since the Dreyfuslte demand was for the government to order the Plc quart court martial postponed. Nevertheless, the whole debate serv ed to advance the cause of Dreyfus. M. Dupuy's speech Is admitted on all hands to have been a masterpiece of statesmanship. He did not deny that the government had power to inter vene with General Z.urlimien. but ex llalned that It would be better for th ! court of cassation to d so. I Perhaps the most slgnltlcant feature ' of the debate after M. Polncare's reve 1 lations. which served to draw even ! closer the bonds of suspicion surround i Ing General Mercler. Is the changing 1 attitude of the chamber toward M. ; Cavalgnac. The latter's speech before i the period of the Henry suicide was ac ' eepted and placarded throughout tha country as proof of the guilt ot Drey fus. Now he Is received with the- howls of the deputies when he attempts to I Justify his attitude. The general belief Is that the cUrt of cassation will now demand ths Pi roor or the portico. Further search revealed that in one bedroom the thief had secured ISO. three valuable pockdt books and an old fashioned g.dd watch belonging to Mrs. Kegar. In another room the thief secured three valuable stickpins. Tittsburg. Nov. 2S.
