PENNSYL LVAN|A'S
ASSEMBLY LINES
Up FOR BATTLE
Senatorial Struggle
Begins.
THE OPPOSITION TO QUAY
1T IS BEING DIRECTED BY THE
BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE.
Congressman Dalzell Of Pittsburg
and Charles c. Tubbs of Tioga
Are Also Aspirants for
the Toga.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Dec. 1.-The
General Assembly will open it's bien-
nial session at II O clock Tuesday in the
new Capitol building. After the Sen
ate and House have organized. Cover
nor Hastings will send in his biennial
message. Lists of standing commit
tees will hardly be ready to announce
before the inauguration Of Governor
elect Stone, on January IT. SO that the
Legislature will not get down to work
in earnest before February. There Is
a strong sentiment among the legis-
lators in favor of a short session. Both
Democrats and Republicans will eau
Gus tomorrow evening for the organi-
zation of the houses. The Republicans
have a majority Of "a on Joint ballot,
and naturally expect to control both
houses. There are 81 Republicans and
13 Democrats in the Senate and 127
Republicans and IL Democrats and 8
fusiOnists in the House.
Senator Quay's friends have fixed
Tuesday evening for the Senatorial
caucus, and the only question now Is
whether 12S Republicans will go into
the meeting. If they do, everybody ad-
mits that Quay will control a majority
and that he will be nominated. His
opponents are making an effort to keep
enough members out of the conference
to prevent nomination, and if they
can do this they expect to prevent the
Senator's reelection. Congressman
Dalzell of Pittsburg and Charles G.
Tubbs of Tioga are the other avowed
aspirants for the Senatorial nomina-
ton.
The fight against Quay is being d.
rected by e. A. Van Valkenburg. the
leading spirit of the Business Mems
League. Republican workers are being
brought here from all over the State
to take a hand in the fight for United
States Senator.
The hotels are crowded tonight and
by tomorrow will be filled to overflow
ing. The Quay managers are on the
aggressive, and are leaving nothing un-
done 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 out
lined before tomorrow.
The new capitol, although unfinished,
presents a very creditable appearance
inside.

CUBAN INSURGENTS
ARE TO BE M0LLIFIED

HAVANA, Jan. 1.-The American
military officials in Havana have had
word from Washington to treat the
Cuban insurgents with more considera-
ton, and in consequence thereof there
has been remarked a change of de-
meanor toward the Cubans tonight. It
is reported that General Menocal is to
be assistant civil governor of Havana.
1t is impossible to verify this rumor
but it is given weight by the fact that
the American officials who should know
refuse to give it denial. The Cubans
are considerably mortified, and If this
rumor proves true the bad effects Of
earlier mistakes will be overcome.

HOW BUSINESS rs BOOMING.
Great Showing Made by the New
York Life Insurance Company.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The year closed
with business booming. The Bureau
Of Statistics at Washington figures the
country's excess of exports over i'm
ports for 1898 at s617 900. and these
figures tell the whole story. Everybody
believes a still further enlargement of
foreign and domestic trade is in store
for 1899.
This morning the New York Life In
surance Company reported its years
work, and of all the companies is the
first to publish its statement. The re-
suit surprises the oldest insurance men
and furnishes fresh proof Of the busi-
ness revival Of 1898.
President John A. Mccall of the New
York Life states that his company in
1898 has been paid for more than $152,-
900 900 in new insurance, an increase of
more than SIS, 100000 over 1897, and has
now a total Of policies in force exceed
ing S945,000 900, being a gain during the
year of $67, ,000, 900. The average mind
can scarcely grasp. the significance Of
these figures, which denote a larger
gain in this one company alone than
was shown in the previous year by all
the other regular life insurance com
panies of this State combined, and is
an unparalleled record.
While this record is strikineIv excep-
tional gains in somewhat the same pro-
portion have been made by the banks
and the large commercial houses 1t
is interesting to note from President
McCall's report that California has been
one of the leaders in this tremendous
increase in the company's business.

PLANTED A GRAVEYARD
The Novel scheme OF an Zoe Company
to Head OF q Northern Indi.
ana Railroad.

A fact leaked out recently which in
dicates the bearing some of tie SEEM
ingly harmless Ei.ls passed by o gen.
eral ASSEMBLY have on large interests.
One Of i..-st Li4.s, which passed ut the
last session without any discussion,
prohibited the building of any railway
lines through any graveyard. Little
was known of its purposes, but at that
time of the session bills for the pension
ing Of civil war veterans and their wild
ows and such other benevolent meas
ures were being passed more or less
regularly along with patrio &c &oiu-
tions, and what little was said about the
bill wns thrown out in such way as to
appeal to the sentiment of the solons.
In IN effort to prevent the Dissertation
of graves, however, the legislators took
step, the importance of which they
never realized, and the facts alleged
i'll the case follow: Ever since the
Chicago & West Michigan railway was
built, its western terminal was at New
buffalo, where it formed a junction
with the Michigan Central, over the
tracks of which it entered Chicago. AS
the business of the road developed, it
was found that the trackage charges
made inroads into the income of the
company to the point where it was
deemed desirable to do away With them.
Accordingly the heads of the road de-
cided to build their own line into Chi
cago, and accordingly, through their
agents, began to purchase rights of
way wherever desired. Most of the
proposed route ran through the sand
dunes along the upper end of Lake
and Porter counties, and here the
Knickerbocker Ice company, of Chi
cago, owns vast tracts of land from
which it takes sand for it's ice houses
and for building purposes in Chicago.
The new route of the railway will cut
through their most valuable sand de-
posts, ;,Ed tie knickcrbocker company
steadiastly refused to sell.
Only n few weeks before the OPEN
ing of the legislature the railway COM
pany announced that it PROPOSED to
bring condemnation proceedings to Sc
cure possession of the land, and then
was Matched the bill which has rem
dered it impossible for tic railway to
complete it's line. First of ali, the com
Pthy oSCuICu d COllcCLlOH Oh "l1L is
known in medical colleges as "stiffs,"
to the number of 40 or s., and these
were buried at intervals, properly
marked, all over the tract. The next
step taken was to prepare the grave
yard bill, which was introduced by Rep
resentative Patterson, who was limo
cent Of the motives back Of it, and
passed without discussion by both
branches Of the general assembly, I'M
der the supposition on part of the mem
bers that it was designed to thwart the
attempt Of some cold-blooded railway
corporation to desecrate some old-es-
tablished burying ground around which
clustered historical associations. The
graveyard is still there, and the peo-
pie in the northern part of the state
are wondering what move the Chicago
& West. Michigan will next take in it's
endeavor to reach Chicago.-Indianap-
