QUAY FEELS SURE.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 3.-The result Of
the contest for NJ. s. Quay's seat in the

Martin of Philadelphia, announced to-
day that they would not go into the
senatorial caucus if held tonight.
Senator Magee of Allegheny, who
acts with his colleague on all things
political, will go into the caucus and
vote against Senator Quay.
The question is whether Martin men
can keep enough legislators out of the
meeting to prevent a nomination. They
insist that this can be done. On the

GREAT BURSTS OF SPEED.
Fast Trains out of Chicago and Omaha
Make Record Breaking Time

Omaha, Jan. BIN addition to the
sustained speed of the Burlington and
the Northwestern fast mail trains be-
ing remarkable, over 50 miles an hour
for the distance, there were some still
more remarkable bursts of speed during
the trip. Several times mile was COW
cred in 81 seconds. The Northwestern
left its two brakemen at one point on
the line. When the train stopped they
got off to turn around and when they
completed the circuit the train was
gone.
The actual elapsed time from the
start at Chicago to arrival at the local
depot was as follows: Northwestern
492 miles with Is stops, hours and So
minutes. Burlington SOP miles with IL
stops, 10 hours a minutes.
The greatest run was made by the
east bound train on the Burlington,
which left here last night, one hour late,
arriving in Chicago only four minutes
late and the schedule time in 80 minutes
faster than the westbound train which
they assert is the best record for any
train between the two points. The pre-
vious record was held by the North

NO REST FOR SAMPSON.
The Government will Need Him in
the West Indies.

New York, Jan. 3.-Admiral Samp-
son entertained his daughter, whose
marriage takes place tomorrow, and
her friends, aboard the cruiser New
York at luncheon today. The admiral
has recovered from his recent indispo-
sition. 81 went down to Washington, -
said the admiral, land caught cold.
The doctors told me it was grip so I
went to bed. 1 feel now in first rate
condition, though I still have a little
cold. The reports that my condition
was serious were exaggerated and my
daughters wedding will not be post
poned on account of my own health or
any sickness in the family"
Admiral Sampson will not go on
leave of absence, as has been generally
supposed. The navy department is
anxious for him to assume direct and
active command over the North At
lantic squadron and he will indefinitely
postpone taking the rest which his
friends think he needs so much. In the
course of a few weeks Admiral Samp-
son is likely to be at sea again on the
New York, possibly in Cuban waters,
although the programme for his squad
rCn is not yet decided upon. The an
nual squadron exercise in evolutionS
and target practice will be held if

losing it's European contingent, will be
a small one. Among naval officers gen.
orally it is believed that SIMPSONS re-
tention on sea service indicates that the
department believes there is still much
hard work to be done by the navy in
the West Indies. SIMPSONS intimate
knowledge of all questions affecting
Cuba and his tact in dealing with the
lima bitantS of that island have made
his services almost indispensable.

THE HACKNEY BILL
To Protect Leedy's Appointees is Eav-
ing a Hard Time

IF the Hackney bill repeating the law
which now makes legislative investiga-
lions for the removal of state officers
possible, is not passed it will not be
because any effort has been spared by
the holdover appointees of Governor
Leedy. They are working hard for the
passage of the bill because it's passage
means protection to them in holding
their respective offices.
The present law is the one under
which an investigating committee was
appointed on request of Governor Nor
rill and ex-senator Rogers, Dick Chase,
Senator Householder and others were
ousted from office. 1t would be as easy
for an investigating committee under
Governor Stanley to GUST the follower
appointeeS of Governor Leedy, and to
Illustrate such action is the purpose Of
the Hackney bill.
The bill makes custer of any state
appointee possible only under action
in the district court, and provides for a
jury trial.
While the bill will undoubtedly re-
ceive sufficient support in the house to
insure it's passage there, it will be met
with considerable opposition in the sem
ate The state appointees fear that
this opposition may result in the death
of the bill, and their greatest efforts are
being made in the upper house.

WOOD COMING HOME.
To See Mckinley About That
Order From Havana.

Santiago de Cuba, Jan. S.-Major
General Leonard Wood, the American
military commander here has cabled
for permission to go to Washington for
two days and has been granted leave Of
board the United States transport Mis-
sissippi tonight.
The reason of the generals departure
is Internationally the order received
from Havana to transmit the entire
customs receipts each week to the city.
As cabled last night, compliance with
abandonment of many necessary public
improvements would throw 10000 Gu
bans out of employment and send them
to the hills to become bandits, and would
revive SPANS practice of monetary
Capitalization, which caused most of
her troubles in Cuba.
1t is believed General Wood is desir-
Gus of seeing the president on this SUBJ
ject.
There was a mass meeting today of
business men of all kinds to protest
against the order from Havana.
The members of the San Carlos club
are in a fever of excitement. They say
that the main cause for complaint
against Spanish rule was the continual
demand for money obtained from the
different provinces, which, they claim,
should remain in the provinces and be
spent there.
Colonel Valiente, the Cuban who was
appointed chief of the gendarmes. was
quite outspoken on the subject; He said
the Cubans had fought thirty years
to fight thirty years more If necessary:
Americans who are familiar with the
situation here agree in saying that the
Cubans have good cause for complaint in
this instance
