HARRISBURG, Fa., Jan. l.-Mat-thew Quay was the unanimous choice of the Joint convention of Republican senators and members of the house held tonight in the house chamber to nom inate a candidate for United States sen ator. The caucus was attended by 123 leg islators or four less than the number necessary to a choice in the Joint con vention of the senate and house which will be held January 16. Three of those present were Hill. Tiffany and Mc Pherson, who absented themselves last night from the house caucus and vot ed with the Democrats In the house today for General Koonti for speaker. G. Beaver, ho voted with the stal warts for Marshall for speaker, was present but did not answer to his name. It was stated that he will abide by the caucus. Thompson and HalJeman, who are drained at home by Illness, were pledged by their colleagues to Quay. This apparently gives Quay 126 of the 127 necessary to a choice. Other absentees voted with the Dem ocrats on the organisation of the house and are classed as anti-Quay Repub licans. As the names of certain men who had been counted in the anti-Quay column were called and they announced their vote for Quay there was a dem onstration of great approval on the part of a great many present. The Quayites are Jubilant over the result of the caucus as the number present exceeded their expectations and they claim that before the vote is taken on Joint ballot for senator they will have many more than the neces sary number to elect. WE CAN HAVE JAMAICA. England Will Trade It With Ua for a Portion of the Philippines. NEW YORK. Jan. 1. A special to the Journal and Advertiser from Wash ington says: The British colony of Jamaica will be given In exchunge for a fair share of the United States colony of the Philip pine;. This is an International trade which will be probably the result of acquisition by the United States of the Danish Antilles. In official circles It Is thought that Great Britain will not want the island of Jamaica if the United States shall acquire the Danish possessions, and thi prestige of Greai Britain as command ing the highway to the Nicaragua can al will have Jlsappeared. The United Stales will not only be able to com mand the approach from the east, but it will, fnm its point of vantage, con trol the ocean east of the Danish An tilles, from the magnificent base which will undoubtedly be established there. It wi!l be Interesting to recall that when the United States amended the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, the British cress Idea was that if Great Britain was forced to yield there should be some compensation to Great Britain. What Great Britatn'a demands will be are not clearly known. It la under stood, however, that she will endeavor to have the modus vlvendl Alaskan boundary made permanent. M'MILLAN RENOMINATED.

My Mrs. T. De Witt Talma. (Copyright. 1900. The Christian Herald.) No sooner had I stepped ashore from the Ocmnlc than th question was osk ed me for publication: "You have had abundant opportunity this summer of studying ixyslty In Europe. What do you think of It In comparlikw ltn republican simplicity?" At this ques tion has come to me the third time, I proceed to answer It, though some what reluctantly. Yes, wt have had an opportunity of seeing the inside of palaces, and com muning with princely and Imperial households, such as has seldom been granted to persons unoflkial. The pub lication of my husband's sermons In all the languages of Europe for many years, seemed to open every door we might wish to enter. And the first re mark I desire to make. In reply to the question as to the contrast between republican simplicity and royal man occasions, but no persons, however all. The higher In station the more unpretending the personage. It la the people who are afraid of hwing their place, or who are struggling for some thing higher, that take on airs. The higher the prince or princess, the em peror or empress, the more unconven tional. Republican simplicity Is no more marked than royal simplicity. While the "show-rooms" of palaces may be bejeweled, and richly uphol stered, and embanked with lustrous statuary, and aglow with masterpieces of painting, the "living rooms" of Eu ropean potentates are for the most part as plain aa the rooms of people ordi narily prosperous. While the tourist, catalogue In hand. Is permitted to pas through sleeping-apartments which were once occupied by some Marie An toinette, or Napoleon, or Marie Teresa, and the pillows of the eou.-h nrd the canopy are ablaze with splendor, for the most part the sleeping apartments are as unpretending aa a hundred homes In the same city of Berlin, or Vienna, or St. Petersburg, or Copen hagen. While the banquet of a king or queen might easily swamp what we would rail mrny thousands of dol lars, and the eleam of the chalice," and the Hash of the plate are something to be remembered for a lifetime, the or dinary breakfast or luncheon or din ner of a palace Is aa plain as ordinary cutlery, and table-cloth, and Ice-pitcher can make It. The breakfast-room at Stockholm whtre King Oscar and his queen alt, morning after morning, is probably aj i-rple as the break fast-room of many of those who read this sketch. When Emperor FYuncU Joseph Invites any on to dint with him at Vienna, ha sonMlmea apologises for the plainness of the meal. Mr. Gladstone, who wu In some respects a king, called tht repast to which he Invited my husband at lUwarden "a few snacks." The pomp of royalty Is seen on great waalotta, but no persona, however highly born, can always walk on stilts. The ast expense of princely and Im perial households Is In the support of ottUlul attendants, who must bo ready to respond at the first call, though that call may not come tmnv than once a year, or one In five years. Hundred of horsea must be ready, though some of them may never be harnessed for service except at a royal marriage, a coronation, or an Imperial obsequy, and those occasions are very far airt. The conversation of these people Is surprisingly familiar. The empress of Russia, without any hesitation, ex pressed to me the preference she had for the Chinese above the Japanese. She aid: "Th Japanese may pretend to be friendly, but they stab you In the dark." She cannot forget that when Nicholas, now her husband, wa traveling In Japan, he received a ruttlan stroke that felled him senseless, and that now, when the emperor Is excit ed or overworked, that Japanese wound of many years ago still disturb him. The crown prince of Denmark. In style and language that we are famil iar with In our own homes, said to us: "Come, let me show you Into my dn." ami then took us through hi study. And the crown prlnceiH s.vld to me: "Come, let me show you my gar di n. You w ill find It as quiet as though It were many mile from human habi tation, though only five miles from Cop enhagen." With what simplicity the dowager empress of Russia showed us her pictures and askM u about where we had been, and Invited us to come again on the morrow. Simplicity reigns In all the high places we wer. ,.-i mil ted to visit. Rut one must go abroad In order to fully appreciate home life In America. There are mure happy people In our country than in any other land. Great palace and royal families, however kind and benevolent and exemplary, Imply a multitude of people with not enough to eat or wear or shelter them. I had rather live ten years In America than thirty In any other country. While there is no contrast between republi can simplicity and royal manners, there la a contrast, wide and awful, between our country where every healthy and Industrious man can make a comfortable living and monorchia! lands, where poverty in the common Inheritance of the people. Thus much have I learned from my Journeying this summer In the capitals of Europe. AUUINALDO READY TO SURREN DER, "Ag ulnaldo I afraid of his own peo ple," writes Oscar F. Williams, formwr consul to Manila, In the brilliant ChrUtmna Issue of "Hucceaa," From numerous personal meetings wHh tht Filipino leader, I have learned enough of hla character to feel aura that he would much rather b In th United State, today, safe and at rvt, under th protection of our flag, than t the head of hla nondescript and discontented army, a fugitive In the mountains of the Philip pines. He realises that his cause Is lost, but a great many of bU followers do not realise this; thy have a very ItuMn j mile conception of the power and re source of the United Stale, and atlll hope to retrieve shattered fortune. Agulnuldit has made them many grand, eloquent promUea ami pledge. He haa led them Into their illttltullU'S, and they expect h.m to lead them out. If he should make a move, at the present time to surrender hi army, or to leave the country, hi follower would try to kill him. It will be seen that M position Is precarlou. He cannot main tain It long. Every day hi people are growing more discontented. A re action I setting In. Th Filipino Pol itic! are teglnnlng to lay nt the door of their once Idolised leader the re sponsibility for all their lw and hard ship. My opinion la thai. In a few months, by some cunningly devised plan, Agulnaldo will contrive to rat-npn from the country, or have himself cap tured In onl-T that he may be secure (mm hi own comradcs-ln-arms. We will not hurt him, and he knows It. I o!,.i knows that. In hla present po sition, he Is In Imminent danger of as-supination. H.F.Prael Transfer Co ! Telephone 121.
