first few weeks will lack the public In
terest which has distinguished the last
two regular sessions. However, there
will be an abundance of other ques-
tons to make the session interesting,
at times exciting, and which will, per-
haps, prolong the regular session. 1t
will not be altogether without political
interest. for at this time it seems an
attempt will be made at congressional
reapportionment The Republicans
will control both houses by a majority
which will probably be sufficient to
pass any apportionment measure that
may be agreed upon in caucus. Moth
ing very radical will be attempted in
the way Of reapportionment, the
changes in all probability being con-
fined to a few districts. -
Final adjournment is not expected
before the latter part of May or early
in June.
The introduction of bill to repeal
the Allen street railway law will mark
the beginning of the principal contest
Of the session. This-smeasure will be
among the very first presented and it
will no doubt be followed by a large
number of others just like it.
The Allen law fight is likely to be
prolonged through several weeks, and
to occupy the attention of both houses
to the exclusion of almost everything
else until the questions involved shall
be definitely and conclusively settled.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. l. = The
general assembly will open it's bien-
MAI session at II o'clock Tuesday noon
IN the new capital building. Both the
Democrats and Republicans will eau
Gus tomorrow for the organization of
both houses. The Republicans have a
majority of seventy-four on joint bal
lot and naturally expect to control
octh branches. There are 81
Republicans and 10 Democrats
In the senate, and 1877 Repub-
leans and II Democrats and fin
slonists in the house.
Senator Quay's friends have fixed
Tuesday evening for the senatorial
caucus, and the only question now is
whether 128 Republicans will go into
the meeting. If they do, everybody
admits Quay will control a majority.
and he will be nominated His oppo-
nents are making an effort to-keep
enough members out Of the caucus
to prevent a nomination If thew can
do this, they expect to defeat the SEN
ator's reelection. Congressman John
Dalzell, of Pittsburg, and Charles G.
Tubbs, of Tioga, are the other avowed
aspirants for the senatorial nominal
ton.
The fight against Quay is being di-
rected by E. H. Vanvalkenberg, the
leading spirit of the Business Mems
League. Republican workers are being
brought here from all over the state to
take hand in the fight for United

The hotels are crowded tonight and

the aggressive and are leaving moth
ing undone to make votes for their
leader. The anti.Quayites are just as
active, but there are not near so many
of them, and their policy will be fully
outlined before tomorrow

HAVANA, jan 1.-The sovereignty
of Cuba passed from Spain to the
United States at noon today. The form
Of the transfer was simple, consisting
only Of an exchange of speeches in
the salon of the palace, the hauling
down of the Spanish flag and the rails
ing, in it's stead, of the flag Of the
United States on the flag staff on the
palace roof Salutes were fired from
the heavy guns of the forts and the
warships before and after the change
of flags. The raising of the Stars and
Stripes was greeted with cheers by
the people, who covered the roofs of
the buildings around the palace and
the plaza.
No crowd was permitted to gather In
s the streets in the vicinity of the pal
ace to witness the epoch making func-
ton. At 9 o'clock a guard composed
of the Second battalion of the Tenth
Infantry marched into the Plaza de
Armas,s under command of, Capt. Van
Vliet, and formed around the square.
Capt. Gen. Castellanos watched them
with interest from the balcony of his
apartments as they entered the square
and were stationed at all the streets
approaching the plaza. No one was
allowed to enter without a pass, and
all the doors of the palace facing the
square were ordered to be closed.
Only those who could get on the roofs
and balconies of the houses in the
neighborhood saw what was going ON
before the palace. With the guard
was the band Of the Second Illinois
regiment, which had been selected for
the occasion as the best band in the
Seventh army corps. With the band
were the buglers Of the Eighth and
Tenth infantry.
The weather was warm, the sun
bursting at intervals through the light
clouds, and the soldiers in blue, who
were forced to stand in the sun, found
the heat oppressive. The troops were
formed in extended order around the
square, three PAGES apart, and the
band was massed in front Of the palace

capt. Gen. Castellanos was at this
time in private room off the throne
room. He had given a farewell break
fast at 10 o'clock to the members Of
his staff and had spent the rest of the
morning virtually alone, looking at the
Americans from the balcony. The
Americans now grouped themselves
near large mirror, between the two
central windows, the Spanish staff be-
ing on the right, while on the left were
the American stats, the Cuban gen.
erals and the correspondents.
suddenly Capt. Gen. Castellanos en-
tered the salon without ceremony from
the left and greeted Gen. Brooke and
the others. After shaking hands, Gen.
Castellanos moved toward the group or
Cuban generals. British Vice Consul
Jerome introduced him to Gen. MAYA
Rodriguez. Shaking both the hands
of the Cuban officer in the usual Span
ish fashion, Gen. Castellanos said:
we have been enemies, but I respaet
you for your correct attitudes and
opinions have pleasure in shaking
your hand"
Gen. Rodriguez replied: Il thank
you, general. I feel sorrow for the
Spanish army, which has defended the
banner they had sworn to defend. I
have pleasure in shaking your hand.'
STROKE OF TWELVE.
Capt. Gen. Castellanos then took his
position before Gen. Brooke. The buzz
OF conversation on the American side
of the chamber contrasted with the
silence on the Spanish side. There was
a marked difference, too, between the
Americans and the Spaniards, the for

behind Gen. Chaffee was Senator John
