QUAY DOWNS WANAMAKER
Names His Man Penrose for United States
Senator.
RESULT OF LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS
Phiindelphin'sM Merchant Prince Takes
His Defeat Cooliy and Lays
Plans to Slaughter the
Silent Statesman.

HARRISBURG Pa, Jan. 5-The factional
republican contest for the succession to the
seat in the United States senate, occupied
by j. Donald Cameron, which has kept the
people Of the state in a fever heat for many
weeks was finally settled tonight in the
joint party caucus of the republican members
of the legislature, who chose State Senator
Boles Penrcse of Philadelphia as the man
upon whom the honor shall be bestowed. or
the 215 republicans in the legislature, 21l
were present and voted. OF these votes, PEN
rose received 1873; ex-Postmaster General
John wanamaker, rs; Senator Cameron 1;
Congressman Robinson, 1, and Superior Court
Judge Charles E. Rice OF Wilkesbarre, 1.
The place has been conceded to Phlladel-
phia from the start, and the fight thus mar
rowed down to wanamaker and Penrose.
The latter received the support of SenatJG'
Quay, and his success is a great victory for
that leader. Mr.. Wanamaker was backed by
the faction of which David Martin Is the
leader, assisted by a strong organization of
business men in nearly every county. Much
bitterness was exhibited on both sides.
Senator John C. Grady, who afterward cast
the single vote received by Mr. Cameron, was
the caucus chairman. While the caucus was
deciding the senatorship, Senator Quay re-
NAMED at the Penrose headquarters in a
his victory, and Mr. Wanamaker was sur
rounded by large gathering of Philadelphia
business men at a rival hotel.
Even while the deathkrell of his sena-
toral aspirations was being sounded. Mr..
Wanamaker was planning to continue the
fight against Senator Quay in the state. At
a big nesting of his supporters Mr. Wanna
maker made a speech in which he declared
bis intention of carrying the fight against
Senator Quay into every county and to
contest with him the right to name the party
candidates for state treasurer and auditor
general. Senator Quay's term expires in
March, 1899. and according to Mr.. Wanna
makers friends, the business men will con-
tinue their organization with the object of
defeating Mr. Quay should he be a candidate
for reelection. The legislature will ratify
the caucus selection of Mr.. Pen;ose on Jan
uary 10.
Boies Penrose was elected to the state
house of representatives from Philadelphia
in 1896 and to the senate year later and
has been reelected since, being still a
member of that body Two yearI ago Sem
ator Penrose was candidate for the office
of mayor of Philadelphia and was the APP
parent choice of the republican ward Com
bine" headed by David Martin. Within
twenty-four hours of the convention. how
ever he was dropped by that body and
Charles f. Warwick, the present mayor,
chosen in his stead. This precipitated the
between Martin and Senator Quay who has
been Penrose's sponsor and it was only a
few days after the convention that Quay
made his well remembered speech on the
floor of the United States senate attacking
Mr.. Martin.

wEyLER's CONSCIENCE is CLEAR.
Captain General Talks of Criticisms
of His Course.

MADRID, Jan. 5.-The correspondent at
Havana, OF the Impartial of this city cables
he has had an interview with Captain Cen
eral Weyler in which the general expressed
surprise at the newspaper campaign in
Spain against him. General Weyler did not
deny the existence Of abuses, but said that
his conscience was clear and that at the
proper time he would show what he had
done.
General Weyler also expressed the great
est satisfaction at the progress of the cam
paign in Pinar del Rio province, which, he
asserted, was so far pacified that he would
withdraw the greater part of the troops
from that part of the island for use in the
imminent operations in the provinces of
Havana and Matanzas and as far as the
military line of Puerto Principe.
Captain General Weyler is quoted as say
ing he expected to finish crushing the in
surrection in the province of Havana
within a fortnight and achieve a total paci-
fication of the island to Jucaro, the south
ern extremity of the military line in Puerto
Principe, long before the rainy season. He
was inclined to conduct ceaseless operations
until he had achieved his object, as the
conditions prevailing were promising. The
captain general said his views of the po-
litical aspect of affairs were unchanged
He still believed a military action in Cuba
ought to be allowed to take free course until
tho end, and he did not consider that any
reform movements were at present neces-

SENTIMENT FAvoRs THE cupANs.
Makes IL Difficult for officials 10 Per-
form Their Duties.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Scott Wike as
sistant secretary of the treasury, has re-
turned to the city after ten days absence
in Florida, and today he resumed his duties.
Mr.. Wike says that. outside Of a number OF
leading cigar manufacturers in Tampa, the
sentiment through Florida-North American
and native Cubans--is almost entirely with
the insurgents, and that on this account the
government officials find IL extremely DIM
cult to make much Roadway in their efforts
to suppress iibustering expeditions. The
inhabitants. he said, not only misled the
officials, but in many cases gave important
aid to the flibusters Mr.. Wike said that he
believed that the officials were doing their
best under these adverse circumstances TO
uphold the law, but not he admits, with
much success.
Mr.. Wike had an interview with the owner
of the Dauntless, who complained Of his treat
brother, who is the customs collector at
Jacksonville. His vessel, he said, often had
been detained and subjected to search unwar-
ranted by law, and he asked that instruc-
items be given the officials to cease what he
termed their unwarranted interference with
him and his vessel Mr.. Wike replied to the
captain that his actions with respect to
the law had not been of such a character
as to inspire confidence In his intentions
for the future, and thus far he had learned
nothing in the conduct Of the officials that
warranted censure for overzealousness.
Mr.. Wilkes report was only semi-ofiicial,
and he will make no formal report.

CABINET MAKING PROGRESSES
Cornelius N. bliss Slated for Secretary
of the Navy.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 5.-President-elect Nc
Kinley and NJ. A. Hanna have at last got
down to the actual work of forming a cabinet
for the new administration.
There seems to be no possible doubt that
Cornelius N. Bliss of New York has been
offered and accepted the secretaryship of
the United States navy. 1t is said this
arrangement was accomplished at the home
of Chairman Hanna on Monday afternoon in
the presence of and with the consent of the
New York member Of the prospective cab
inet. 1t is the first definite step toward
the construction of the cabinet and will
probably be followed on Wednesday by a
definite understanding with Senator Allison,
whom Major Mckinley will meet in Canton
tomorrow afternoon.
The visit of the treasurer of the national
republican committee, Mr.. Bliss, on Monday.
was arranged with so much secrecy that it
was only chance meeting of a Cleveland
acquaintance OF Mr.. Bliss at the railroad
station on his departure for New York on
Monday night that divulged his presence in
Cleveland. Mr.. Bliss arrived in Cleveland
however, early on Monday morning, and
was driven directly to Mr.. Hanna's house.
where he remained in consultation both with
the president-elect and the national chair
man until late in the afternoon.
With the appointment of Mr.. Bliss goes
the assurance that Whtelaw Reid of New
York will be the next minister plenipoten-
tiary TO the court of st. James.
