Matthew Stanley Quay won two victories hereto-day. His supporters organized the State Legislature and he was the unanimous choice of the Joint convention of Republican senators and members held to-night in the House chamber to nominate a candidate for United States senator. The caucus was attended by 123 legislators, or four less than the number necessary to a choice In the Joint convention of the Senate and House, which will be held Jan. 1Ä. Three of those present were Messrs. Hill and Tiffany, of Susquehanna county, and Mcpherson, of Adams, who absented themselves last night from the House caucus and voted w'tfh the Democrats In the House to-day for General Koontz for speaker. .MxEeaver, who voted with thstalwarts for Mr. Marshall for speaker, '.was present, but did not answer to his name. It was stated he will abide by the caucus. Thompson, of Center, and Haldeman, of Montegomery, who are detained at home by illness, were pledged by their , colleagues to Quay. This apparently gives Quay 125 of the 127 necessary to a choice. The other absentees vote with the Democrats on the organization of the House and are clashed as anti-Quay Republicans. Speeches ' were made nominating Mr. Quay, Congressman John Dalzell and Judge John G. Stewart. On the balloting Mr. Quay received the votes of twenty-tlx senators and ninetythree members of the House, Before the result was announced, the names of Messrs. Dalzell and Stewart were withdrawn, and the nomination of Mr. Quay was made unanimous, and he was thus given a total of 123 votes. With one present and not voting and two absent on account of Illness, all three of whom it Is claimed will abide by the caucus decision, a vote of 126 for Quay on Joint ballot Is Indicated. As the names of certain men, who had been counted In the antiQuay column, were called and they announced their vote for Quay there was demonstration of great approval on the part of the great crowd present. QUAY1TES JUBILANT. The caucus cid not begin until 0:1." and speeches were so numerous that It was not until 11:20 that a result wua reached. The Quay people 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 numtcr necessary to elect. Mr. Quay himself Is Quoted as saying that he expected 121 votes in the caucus. Tho news of the result of tho gathering was taken to him by his frionds and party loaders from all over the State visited him and extended thdr congratulations upon what they claim is a certain victory for stalwart Republicanism and party regularity. While the caucus was in session in the House chamber, a secret ravctlns of the anti-Quay Republicans was held at their headquarters. At the close of the meeting the pledge of tha antl-Quayitcs binding themselves together to oppose Mr.' Quay's re-election' was made public. The pledge contains sixty-eiht namo3. A call was Issued to-nlsht for a caucus of tho llouso and Sonata Democrats on the ewnlpjj of Ja ll for the nomination of a candidate for United State senator. Colonel James M. Guffey, of Pittsburg, v.ii! probably be chosen tho caucus nominee Both branches of the Lc glrlat ure met in biennial stolon to-day at noon and the feature of the occasion was tho fight between tho Quay Republicans and the allied forces of thf anti-Quay Republicans and Democrats for control of the House of Representatives resulting in a victory for the Quay forces. William T. Marshall, of Allegheny, was the choice of the Quay forces for speaker, while the Democrats and ahtl-Quay. Republicans were lined up for Gen. William II.

Hymn and Souk Suua; l 10,000 School Children nnd a Trained Choir of 1,000 Voices. SYDNEY. N. S. W., Jan. 1. The Earl o' Hopetoun was to-day sworn In as the first Governor of the Federated Australian Colonies, amid scenes of pageantry 'tuch as never before have been attempted in the Antipodes. Scores of thousands of people participated In the demonstration. The rejoicing of the commonwealth was intensified by the following message which Queen Victoria sent through tho colonial secretary, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, and was read by the Earl of Hopetoun: "The Queen commands mo to express through you to the people of Australia her Majesty's heartfelt Interest In the Inauguration of the commonwealth and her earnest wish that, under divine Frovidence, it may Insure Increased prosperity nnd well-being to her loyal and beloved subjects in Australia." The weather for such an occasion was not of the best, but it did not deter immense crowds from thronging the streets from an early hour. A procession, formed of ministers, officials, Judges, clergy, members of the House of Commons and trades unions and all kinds of societies, allegorical cars, colonial, Indian and imperial troops and blue Jackets, moved at 10 o'clock through the troop-lined group to the government house. Stands, which had been erected at every available spot, were thronged with sight-seers. Tho footways were packed with enthusiastic crowds, gay suiumer dresses lending variety to the scene. As the center of the procession halted at the government hall, the Earl of Hopetoun, in full Windsor uniform and wearing his orders, emerged from the grounds in the state carriage, with postilions and outriders, all in state liveries. Escorted by the New South Wales Lancers, the Governor General drove past the remainder of the procession and took up a position In the rear. As he parsed each stationary band played the national anthem, in which the crowds joined. Shortly after noon the procession entered the park Into which thoutands of the public followed, swelling the multitude that had already swarmed on the hills, which formed a vast amphitheater, overlooking the pavilion, which had been erected for the ceremonies attending the inauguration. A magnificent fight was presented by teeming humanity on surrounding eminences. The Governor's arrival at the pavilion was announced by artillery salutes and the pealing of cathedral and other balls. The chief Justices and Cabinet 'officers were awaiting him, and as soon as the Earl of Hopetoun took up his position a choir of a thousand voices sarg: "O God, Our Help In Ages Past." A special praer by the archbishop followed. After his commission had been read tho Earl of Hopetoun took the oath of office and signed it at a table, which had been presented by the Queen. A salute of twenty-one guns, tho playing of the national anthem by the massed bands and reusing cheers, re-echoing among the hills, accompanied this act. Tho signature and wearing of the first federal ministers followed. The Earl of Hopetoun briefly congratulated the members of the Cabinet, and then read the Queen's message, given above, which evoked prolonged cheering. r:ontlnued on faqe 2. cöLTI)

M'KINLEY VERY GRACIOUS AVE FLOWERS TO CHILDREN AND SHOOK HANDS WITH A DOLL. Time of Reception Extended for Renelit Of the General Public MacArthur' Reception at Manila. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. In the long Ust of New Year's receptions at the White House, which each year has Inaugurated tho social season at the national capital, none, perhaps, was more brilliant than the one which to-day ushered in the twentieth century. And, perhaps, no feature of It was so universally gratifying to the distinguished throng which came to extend the greetings of the new year to the chief executive of the Republic as the fact that the mistress of the White House was able to participate In the happy occasion, and, with the President, receive the felicitations and well wishes of all. The day had dawned dull and gray, but the air was soft and balmy. Toward 11 o'clock, when the reception opened, the sun burst-through mist and cloud, brightened the white halls and pillars of the historic old mansion until it shone like alabaster and touched the stripes of the glorious American flag that floated over it into streaks of flame. The grounds of the mansion presented a stirring scene as the carriages began to arrive, and the long, line of army and navy officers, In full uniform, formed to the left of the massive portecochere. Within, under the glamour of myriads of electric lights, which were reflected in the happy faces of tho shifting throng, all was bril1'a.xy. Vho Marine Band, stationed under the stairway, discoursed national airs and lively marches throughout the ceremony. The members of the Cabinet and their wives, together with the ladies of the receiving party, were the. first to arrive. They laid aside their wraps in the state dining room and ascended to the private apartments of the President, where they exchanged greetings with Mr. and Mrs. McKinley. The ladles of the reception party entered the Red and Blue parlors and took their places behind the line. Meantime, the ambassadors and ministers of foreign countries with the attaches of the various legations in their gorgeous and resplendent court uniforms had gathered in the state dining room. Promptly at 11 o'clock the rubles sounded the approach of the presldr.-tlal party, and, led by Colonel Bingham, the master of ceremonies, and Major McCaulIck, of the marine corps, the President and Mrs. McKinley descended the main staircase, followed by the members of the Cabinet and their wives. As the party passed along to the reception room the President reflected In Ms smiling face his health and happiness. Ho bowed repeatedly to the crowds assembled in the corridors, greeting many of them with well wishes of the day. Mrs. McKinley also bestowed her gracious greetings upon many in the throng, and when three sweet-faced children near the front chirped a "Happy New Year" to tho first lady of the land she took a handful of buds from her exquisite bouquet of white roses and tossed them to the children. The party passed Into the blue parlor and took their places, while the full Marine Band burst forth with the stirring strain of "Hail to the Chief." MRS. M'KINLEY'S ASSISTANTS.

HOPKINS'S REAPPORTIONMENT BILL 31 AY RECOIL ON ITS AUTHOR. If It Should Deeoine Lmr the Census Committee Chairman Would Re Gerrymandered Into Obscurity. PLANS OF LORIMER'S FRIENDS TWO CHICAGO WARDS TO BE TACKED ON KANE COUNTY. Latter Is Now llopkln' District, but ' He Would Not Re Able to Control Delegates Under Change. Sr-eclal to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Jan. l.Chalrman Hopkins, of the census committee, Is apt to furnish a modern instance of an engineer being hoist by hl3 own petard. HI3 reapportionment bill by which Indiana would lose a representative would add one to the quota of Illinois. The ratio of representation fixed by his bill is 20S,S8. Under it Chicago would gain two representatives and the State outside the city and Cook county lose one. As the apportionment now stands Chicago has seven districts and the State fifteen. Under the Hopkins bill Chicago would have nine and the State fourteen. Thus while the Illinois delegation as a whole would be Increased from twenty-two to twenty-three, the State outside Chicago would lose one. Now for the sequelThe district Mr. Hopkins represents i3 in the State outside of Cook county. Kane county, In which he lives, adjoins Cook county. The plan is to attach Kane county to two Chicago wards and a part of Cook. county outside Chicago, making a safe Republican county which would be dominated in convention by tho delegates from Chicago and Cook county. The Illinois managers who propose ths creation of this district intend it for William Lorlmer, the Republican leader in Cook county, who, after carrying a Chicago Democratic district three times, was defeated last fall. Mr. Lorlmer is regarded as a man of great ability and force of character and Is personally very popular. It Is believed the Burleigh and not the Hopkins bill will become a law, though the latter may pass the House, but If tho Hopkins bill should become law Its most unexpected result, but one that would gratify many people in and out of Congress, -.would be that It would legislate il3 author out of office. TO RETIRE THIS YEAR. Office of the Army ana Navy Who Have Reached the Age Limit. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. The first year of the new century will be marked by many retirements In the army and navy for statutory reasons,"mainIy on account of age.

ASSASSIN OF RARON VON KETTELER DECAPITATED IN PEKING. Taken to the Seene of His Crime and Executed lu the Presence of u Crowd of Spectator. TALK WITH LI HUNG CHANG HE SAYS CHINA IS ANXIOUS TO APPEASE THE POWERS, But He Think There Should Be n Cessation of Count Von Wulderaee'S) Irritating Expeditions. TROOPS THANKED BY THE CZAR BRIEF SPEECHES BY HIS MAJESTY TO SOLDIERS FROM CHINA. American In Winter Quarters at Peking; As Comfortable an Possible In Bunked Tents. LONDON, Jan. 2. Belated advices from Teking say that Su Hal, who assassinated Baron Von Ketteler, the German minister to China, In June last, during the siege of the legatloners, was taken to the scene of hl3 crime on Monday and beheaded. The decapitation took place at' 3 o'clock in the afternoon and was witnessed by many people. Associated Press advices from Peking, under date of Dec. 21, say: "A meeting of the foreign ministers will be held as soon as Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the British minister, who is suffering from chills and fever, shall have recovered sufficiently to be present, and when a date and place for meeting the Chinese commissioners shall have been agreed upon. A representative of tho Associated Press today, had a personal interview with Ll Hung Chang, who shows plainly physical evidence of his recent illness, but whose mind has not been affected by his sickness and is as vigorous as ever. In the course of his conversation with the correspondent, Earl LI said he should prefer to meet the ministers and commissioners at his house, if such an arrangement were possible, on account of the condition of his health, but would not, In the circumstances, make suggestions. He said also that the Emperor is desirous of complying in all particulars with the demands of tho powers. On the other hand, he thinks the powers should order a cessation of tho frequent Irritating expeditions, which ho looks on as unnecessary and as doing a deal of harm. It will be quite possible now, he says, to maintain complete order in the province, with the assistance of a small number of Chinese troops; and he hopes the powers will agree to keep as at present the troops now stationed at Peking and Tlen-Tsln and along tho railway. The Emperor, Ll Hung Chang asserts, is willing to punish all those named by the powers by banishment to the furthest part of the Chinese dominions, on the northwest frontier; and their return, he declares, will be prohibited under penalty of decapitation. His Majesty is anxious also to have the number of legation guards limited, and that other boundaries be specified: and he hopes the foreign armies .will be recalled as early as possible in the spring. China will endeavor, says Earl Ll, by cyery means in her power to prove that she intends compliance with the demands contained in the note, and to show her desire to make the country safe and habitable for foreigners. He believes the powers will not insist upon the total destruction of the forts." Mldnloiit Alarm in Peking:. PEKING. Jan. 1. The advent of the new year and the new century was celebrated In Peking on an elaborate scale. The discharge of numerous guns at midnight created a scare and many troops were sent to discover whether the city had been attacked or whether it was a Boxer rising. General Chaffee held his reception In the morning and Mr. Conger received In the afternoon. A feature which caused considerable comment was a review of the British troops In honor or Queen Victoria and of Australian federation, to which all the nations were Invited to send representatives. The French were conspicuous by their absence, not a single Frenchman being present at the review. Famine Impending. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. l.A dispatch received here this morning from Vladlvostock reports that famino threatens the Amur and Maritime provinces. The crops there are bad and the railways, being almost wholly engaged for war purposes, cannot be used for the transportation of food to the Inhabitants. In addition the prohibition of foreign coastwise trade has prevented Importations Into the threatened provinces. The situation Is deplorable and becoming worse. Ruaslana Gratified. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. l.-The news that China has acceded to the demand of the powers is received Joyfully in all circles, official and unofficial, here. The press, which had steadily prophesied that there would be no peace, has thus far made ro mention of the news, but will probably find its tongue to-morrow. . RUSSIAN TROOPS THANKED. The Csar to Soldier Just Returned to Llvadla from China. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. L At Llvadla the Czar yesterday reviewed the Russian troops that have returned from China. His Majesty passed in front of the detachments and then ordered a march past. As each company passed the Czar he thanked them for their services. Dinner 'was served to the soldiers in their barracks, where the Czar passed from one table to another addressing remarks to Individual soldiers. Subsequently, holding aloft a glass of brandy, his Majesty addressed the troops: "Brothers I rejoice to see you assembled here, gallant heroes that you are, returning from eo far a country after such an arduous campaign. I drink to yodr health and prosperity nnd that of the whole el that gloriguä iron rliie brigade of tho

Thirteenth Rifle Regiment, and to that of the battery of the Fourth Artillery- division." As the troops left the Czar again addressed them. "Once more," he said.' "I thank you, brothers, for your heroic services. May you return safe and sound to your families." The officers- of the detachments subsequently lunched Ht the palace, and there the Czar toasted them in these words: "I welcome you again and thank you for the part you have taken in the expedition Just concluded; and I drink to the health of the Thirteenth Rifle Regiment and the whole of the Fourth Brigade, together with the Fourth Artillery and Rifle Division, as well as with the representatives of the fleet." Later the Czar appeared at the breakwater at Yalta and boarded a steamer on which the detachments were drawn up. After inspection of the troops quarters, the Czar, by his own hand, presented the noncommissioned officers with a military crder, again thanked the troops for their services and wished them Godspeed. The Czar afterward returned to Llvadla.

HOW THE TROOPS ARE FARING. American Wintering In Well-Banked Tents Their Quarters Policed. Correspondence of the Associated Press. PEKING, Nov. 12, 1000. Cold weather has fairly set in and the allied forces are beginning to feel the first touches of the rigorous north China winter. A superb autumn has greatly aided the army In getting jsupplles, and at this time it Is stated that sufficient provisions and equipment are now in Peking to last for he six months of the practically closed season. The great wagon road that leads from Tong-Chao, the head of navigation, to Peking, has been crowded with transportation during the last few weeks. Great trains of camels, coming in from the west and north, have been commandeered by the various forces, and now are being used by the United States and other contingents. Hundreds of the little vehicles known as Peking carts, which are sprlngless, two-wheeled concerns, drawn by two donkeys, tandem, are also pressed into service, and the route of the wagon train is a plcturesquo exhibition of transportation facilities. In the race to get in supplies the American transport equipment has easily proved itself the superior of any system in use In China. Over in the Temple of Agriculture, in the extreme southern portion of Peking, where the American contingent is located, and now known officially as Camp Rellly, preparations for the winter are now well under (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5, COL. 6.) DEATH OF I. DONNELLY EMINENT SIIAKSPEAREAN SCHOLAR, AUTHOR AND SAGE. One of the Leading Politicians of the Northwest, and Late Middle Road Candidate for Vice President. TAKEN ILL LATE LAST NIGHT AND DIED OF HEART FAILURE AT 12i03 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING. At the Home of Ilia Father-ln-Lavr In SHnneapoIIa When Stricken Brief Sketch of Ills Career. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 2.-Ignatlus Donnelly, politician, author, rage, aged seventy, died at 12:03 this morning. Tlie eminent Minneapolltan was taken suddenly 111 last night while visiting nt the home of his father-in-law, Barton Hanson, 2022 Twenty-eighth avenue, south. From the first Mr. Donnelly sank steadily and soon became unconscious. Dr. Murphy was summoned, and when he arrived the -sick man was still unconscious. The doctor pronounced it heart failure and stated early In the evening that there was little chance of the patient's recovery. Later Mr. Donnelly passed away, surrounded by a number of his relatives. From the first they had understood that he could not live, as he was well advanced In years, being nearly seventy years of age, and It was a sorrowful little group that watched by the bedside as the man whose name has brought honor to tho State of Minnesota lay gasping out the last faint spark of life. He died at 12:03 o'clock in the morning without regaining consciousness. Ignatius Donnelly was born in Philadelphia on Nov. 3, 1S31, and was graduated from the Central High School In IStt. He was admitted to the bar In 1ST2 and in lk'S emigrated to Minnesota; was Lieutenant Governor and Governor of the State, 63: for several years was president of the State Farmers Alliance, and presided. over tho national convention which nominated Peter Cooper for President, In 1S72. He founded and edited two reform Journals, was many times a member of the House and Senate In the Minnesota Legislature, and only last year was vice presidential candidate on tho Populist ticket. His Baconian theory of the origin of the Greene, Marlowe and Shakspeare plays, well elucidated "The Great Cryptf gram," was still further exemplified In his book published in November, 1509, "The Cipher in the Plays and on the Tombstone," in which he declares that Indubitable proof of the truth of his theory will be found if the grave of Shakspeare at Stratford, or that of Bacon, In St. Michael's Church, St. Albans, be opened. While Donnelly did not invent the theory of the Baconian origin of the playr, he was the greatest exponent of the cult, and for more than thirty years his researches into the literature, biography and history of the plays was widetpread and profound. As early as the first quarter of the eighteenth century the question of the authorship of the plays was raised, and Bacon's statement "My name be buried where my body lies;" his historical writings covering much of the ground by the plays, and certain passages from the plays themselves, notably "The Tempest." were accepted by a few as evidence that Francis Bacon was the real author. Then, too. Bacon's arrest and Imprisonment In the Tower for certain unmentloned charges other than that cf malfeasance In office were taken to mean that he had written things unpleasant to the King and court, and that these things might have connection with tht plays.
