jiai attraotod the ettentlen of the puhllc

{rr -everal wooks paet, »M argued before

the Btate Buprenv Court lo-day. Tho defend-

nnts'in the caae are M B. Quay, L'nlted Statos

p.-at Rlehard R. Quay, and the ex-

jtate Treaaurer, Benjamln F. Haywood. Theeharge under whl< h they are Indlcted la that of

eanaplracy in the mlauae t Btate funds for their

own beneflt and prollt. The caae came beforethe iupreme Court to-day on the petition of

Ihe def< ndanta for a wrlt of certlorarl. to re.

xnove the case from tl- Court of Quarter Sor-

gOBl Of Phlladelphla, to the Supreme Court.

Whea court opened. ex-Dtotrict«Attorney Gra-

harri, who haa been retained by Mr. Rothermel,the recently lect» d Dtotrlct-Attorney, as specialeonaael In the caae, preaentad a motlon asklngthe dlamlaaal of the caae, on the ground of ln-

iufneir-nry of fa^t ln the averment-t of the petl-llonera, and want of jurlsdlction of thf SupremeCourt

' Justlee fteirat, who preslded wlth thefull court of aeven Justlees. lnformed Mr. Gra¬

ham that hls motlon would he oonsldored. after

argrument had heen heard on the petition of the

defendants for a wrlt of certlorarl.Defendanta' eounscl were then lnformed that

the Court wai ready to hear argument. David T.TA'atsr'n, a member of the Pittuburg bar. who has

recently r>een UfOCtoted wlth the counsel fortho defence, made the argument ln support of

tj,o petition.FEAlt OF NOT HAVING A FAIR TRIAL.

He arguad at length on the point that the de¬

fendants aaked tho sirporvisory intorference of

the hlghor court, becauae of the apprehenslonand BUaplckW thal they could not have a fair

and Impartlal trial before the PhlladelphlaCounty Court. He declared that the lower court

had oreiTUled everjf applieation made for rellef,and that Judge Plnletter, who occupied the

benrh ln the nrooeedlngs, had shown his par-tlallty t the proaecutton.Furthrrmoro, tho contentlon was made by Mr.

Wats ti that the body of the people from whirh

a Jury WOUld be drawn has become prejudlcedthrough newapaper publlcatlona, honco the ap-

prelions;. n of I prejudlced jury and the fear of

an unfair and partlal trial. He made tho directeharge that the maehinery of the Distiict-At-t rney*i offlce and that of the court had been

used for polltlcal purpoaea, wlth the ultimate oh-

jfet (rf defoating tho re-electlon of one of the

deferrflaniK ns a T'nlted Statos Benator.To support hls contentlon that the Court had

.('en trnfalr. he quoted from the decision of

Judge Flnletter, ln dlamlaalng the demurrers

entered hy defendants, ln whieh ttie JudgeBtated that the "only effeet of the demurrers

was to postpone and delay a final dlapoaltlon of

the case." and that such motlons "aerved no

good purpose'. He furthermore argued that

judge Flnletter permltted the Dtotrtct-Attorneyto alter an indlctment. after lt had passed from

the hands of the Grand Jury. The change whlch

he allegeg was allowed to he made was that of

alterini? the wording BO as to make lt read "the

moneys of the People's Hank," lnstead of "themonoys of the Btate," a* origlnally appeared ln

the Indlctment. This permltted lrregularity.Mr. Wataon clalmed, was all sufflclent to show

the partlallty of tho CotUtAnother point ralsed hy the attorney wa* that

Judgo Flnletter had dismlssed the demurrer to

one of the Indlctmente, whlch oharged conspir-acy on tho part 'rf Senator Quay wlth CaahlerJohn B. Hopkina, to uae tho money of thj ;. "a Bank for the purchaee of stocks. No crlmewas charged In this Indlctment, Mr. Wataon

tuae 'he oharter of the hank grant-it by the state permltted tho bank to

"purchase stocks and bonde." No law had heenvlolated, counael contended, hy the acts chargedln this IndlctmentWHT CASE BHOULD NOT RE REMOVED.

Ba Dlatrlct-Attorney Graham followed Mr.Wataon In apeaklng In eppoeltlon to the grant-Inp Of tho wrlt. Mr. Graham argued that the

leauance Of a writ of certiorari should he exer-

Cleed only in extraordinary and unusual cases,

and the Court to exerdse intorference with a

lower court should be preeented with most Im¬portant and conclualve reaaona why auch Inter-ventlon ahould enaue. if auch writs were fre-Quently granted, very oaae In whlch delay was

Bought would be taken into the Supreme Courtto obtaln tho dealred delay.The queation before this court. said Mr. Gra¬

ham. was r.ot that of the poMlblllty of a fair or

ii..fa:r trial, bul v. as whether wealth and powercould defeat or defy the wbeela of juatlqa Nota llne ln the'petition of the defendants merltedthe conslderation of this court, or would warrantthe Interference prayed for in the petition. Todemonstrate hls contentlon that the petition was

not made in good faith. but wan flled with theohject of dolaying the proceedlnga, Mr. Grahamatated that at th<* time the petition waa pre-pared the cause for aome of th.- complalnta con-tained therefn had been alnady removed. TWOof th* judges attacked in the petition arereJudftes OordOB and Flnletter. At the time the

was prepared, whlch averred partialactlon on the part of these two membera of thecourt. Judge Gordon had retlred from the benchbf realgnatlen, and Judgo Flnletter had rltln 1from the Court of Quarter Beaatona to his dutiesln the Over and Terminer Court. Thlfl casewaa to be trled by a Judge whose unaullied repu-tatlon had hever been attacked. even by thedefendanta, and therefore the cause of fear of a

prejudlced trial did not oxistIn refi rence to the avermenl of the petltioners

that the proceedlnga against the defendants hadh^en founded in mallce and were the reault of a

eonaplracy a-ainst them. Mr. Graham sald thatno |nfi rmation was p-eaented by the p.'titionereto fuatlfy auch a serlous allegatlon He had oc-

t-Attomey, he sald,\.ar*. and had never vlolated his

trurt ar.d he had entertalned no Intention ofVlOlatlng lt at. th«- end of this long term.

BecatUdefendants' attorneya declared that their cllentawere not gullty w;is no aufflrlenl reaaon whythe case nhould be tak-n oui of the handsof an honorable Court. Contlnulng, Mr. Gra¬ham sai i that theae delaylng pr iceedinga were

broujrht so that "the defendanta gullty as th''yare, ihall eacape the coneequencea of their crini-lnality "

Mr Graham conduded hls argumont wlth then of laws and precedenta to auataln hls

[nr TEi.E'.EAni to dik raiatm 1San Francisco, Jan. T..The chlef lnterest nf

the week has centred ln the organlzatlon of thenew State Leglslatnre anrl the prellmlnary workfor the election of a Unlted States Senator to

¦UCCeed Stephr-n If. White. The Republleanshave a large majorlty. anrl it was supposod thatthe Democi.tl would slmply cast a compllmen-tary vote for one of thelr leadere. but event*show that sev*ral Democrats may be counterlon to vote for a Republlcan should there berlanger of the choice of Danlol If. Btirns. the

oandldate of the San Francisco "machlne," whohas figured as a polltlcal ,-boss" for several

years, It requirrs slxty-nne votes to elect, andRurns asserts he has thirty-five to start with,but hls enemies declare he wlll not rally greaterstrrngth than twenty. Of the other eandldatesI'lysses S. Grant, Jr., of San Diego, ls thestrongetft. He may poll thlrty votes on the flrstballot, though whether hls forces wlll remaln

stcadfast Is uncortaln. Rulla, of Los Angeles,and General V7. H. L Barnes and George A.Knlght, nf San Francisco. are tho other eandl¬dates. None have any strnng followlng. The

unlque feature of the flght Is that there Is not a

slngle Republlcan newspaper of any promlnenoeln the State whlch favora the candidacy ofRurns. and most nf them have denounoed hlmas a defaulter whlle holding a State offlce yearsago, and aa a corrupt polltlcal boss, whose elec¬tion would be a lastlng disgrace to Californla.Rurns has made a fortune in Mexfcnn silvermines, but he Is a man of slnlster appearano,poorly oducated. wlth no capaclty for publlcspcaking, and no grasp of Natlonal affairs.

present lnfluence ll his hold on the new Gov¬ernor, Who i r.ictlcally owed hls nomlnatlon to

Burns. Should he be elected lt wili be ln thefaee of thp oppo.ltion of the best elemont inthe Republlcan party. and It Is thought lt wouldbe a disgrace to Californla to f-upplant a in.in

like White with this politleal "boss," who haaonly hls eoin and hls "pull" to reci.mmend hlm.The general oplnlon is that none of the oandl-datee now before the public win be elected, butthat the choice wlll fall to Irvlng M. Scott or

some other Republlcan of Natlonal reputatlonwhose receVd is blameleoa Bcotl would proba-lly make the best Senator of any of those whn
