CUBA TO BE DISCUSSED IN SENATE Mr. .Mills of Turns is Honked for n Speech r u Scnsiitlonnl Nature. Senator Proctor Will Sprnk Upon His Resolution lor Constitutional Amendment, Nuking the l'reslilen tlat Term Six Veurs. Washington, Jan. 10. Voting upon the l'u.lflc lallioail funding hill and uiiieiidiiictils will occupy the house to moiiovv. The 'Note la likely to he close, hut It Is thought the hill will he de flated. Foi the temalnder of the week nppto prlatlon bills will piobahly have the light of vuiy. The managc'is of the house ate determined that no measuio imposing addltonal ehaiges either upon the ctedlt or the revenue of the gov ernment shall ieeele consideration at this session, if they can pievent it. The Is'lcat.igua canal hill and several other ptoposttlons Involving financial lospon slblllttes, may theiefore he consldeted dead, so fat as the congress is eon tuned. On Saturday afternoon the house will constiuctlvcly listen to eu logies upon the late ex-Speaker Cilsp, of Georgia. In the senate tomorrow Mr. Jlllls, of Texas, is hooked for a speech on Cuba. Ills text will he the resolution he in tioduccd u feu days ago lecognllng the independence of the jepuhlic of Cuba, declaring It to be the dutj of the executive to act In haimony with con giesa in recognizing a new state and apptopilatlng a sum sulllclent to pay a diplomatic lepiesentatlve to the io publle when the president shall have appointed one. SI.N.SATIONAL, TALK EXPECTED. The cxtieme poslton taken by Mr. Mills leads to the belief that his speech may be, to some extent, sensational and that his criticism of the attitude ot Mi. Olney may be seveie. Senatois aie awaiting the return of Mr. Cameron, v ho is in charge of the Cuban question. Theie does not ap pear to be any desire just now to push the recognition l evolutions. Mr. Pioctor, of Veimont, has given notice that tomortovv lie will address the senate on his lesolution lor a con Btlutlonal amendment making the pies idential olllce a slx-iear tenn and the occupant Ineligible for two teims In succession, also making the teims of membeis of congiess tlnee instead of two years. Eaily in the week the attempt will bo made to s-ecuie a vote on the Okla homa free homestead bill and when that Is out of the way the senate Pa cific lailionds refunding bill may be taken up unless the house shows such hostility to Pacific lallioad legislation us to make the attempt hopeless. FRIGHTFUL COLLISION. Passenger Train on the W.-B. & N. Crashes Into an Electric Car at Luzcrnc-One Injured. "Wllkes-Bai re, Jan. 10. A passenger carattachedtoan engine on the "Wllkes Uaire & Noithein railroad, broke its coupling Satuiday noon at Dallas and dashing down the heavv giado at frightful speed, collided with a Luzerne tiolley cat at the faither end of Lu-s-erne boiough. The lorce of the col lision hulled the tiolley car thiough the side of a dwelling house, and one passenger, DaId Smith, a caipenter of this city, was painfully injuied. The engine and car lns ascending the inde when the coupling suddenly snapped and the car staited backwaid. Two men weie on the car and both lumped to the biake. Either the latter Mas defective oi the sudden pulling of the men bioke the chain and the biake lefused to woik, The men stuck to the car and as foot after foot of the mountain giade was traversed the momentum of the car inci eased until it falilv Hew down the hill. Fiom Dal las to Luzerne Is live miles yet it seem ed to the trlghtuned men clinging to the i ear platfoim like so many lods. "Whizzing tluough cuttings, swinging lound cuies, speeding over big (til ings, the car soed on until Luzeine boiough was leached. Heie the Wllkcs Eane and Noithein and the electric line unites and to the horror of the men on the lljliiff car, they saw an eleetilc cai slowly ascending the hill. About the same time the passengers In the lattci car saw the threatened danger and they made a general msh for the door. All got out safely but Daid Smith. He had Just reached the door when the eiasli came. The cat In which he was standing was lifted fiom the track and hulled into the side of a dwelling house .standing nbout forty feet away. Smith -was caught in the wreck and badly injuied. Willing hands soon dug him out, placed him in an ambulance and sent him home. Both cars were completely wiecked. The men who were on the runaway car escaped injury, and the motoimau and conductor saed their lives by jumping with the passengeta. BITTER CONTEST AHEAD.

Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 10. In an interview Hon. Nathan Ii. Scott, na tional committeeman, from West Vir ginia, and one of Chairman Hanna's closest admirers confirmed the lepoit that Judge Nathan doff, of this Htate, would be attorney general in McKIn ley's cabinet. When questioned as to the coirectness of the rumor placing Judge Golf in attorney general Har mon's place, Mr. Scott said: "The report is absolutely correct. Judge doff has been risked to take the attoiliey-geneinlslilp and has accepted. He will lie one of Major McKInley's ud lors." As to his own aspirations Mr. Scott said that the only olllce lie sought wits the commlsslonoislilp of Intel nut reve nue, and added that his candidacy had been endoised not only by ills own state but also by Vhglula and Mls souil. Major McKlnley has assuied Ills Mis souri fi lends that he would be well taken cine of. Today's Meeting of fh? Electors l'rom the Philadelphia Hulletln. Tlio leal, or constitutional, election which will dcteiinlne the choice of Penn Bjhunla for president and lee-pieslilent of the United States will be held at llni rlabuig on Monday. On that dij will as semble at the eapltol the thlitj-two citi zens who wcie chosen In November lust to name the men who In tlieli Judgment, tlieoietlcnlly, will lepiesimt the wishes of the people of Pennsvlvunhi. Theie Is nothing in the constitution or the law 3 which pi events In tho .slightest degteo Joseph W'haiton and his colleagues fiom casting their" votes for iinjbody whom they m ly bee lit to designate They nuiy vote together as a. whole for piesldent and vice-president, or each of the thirty two may vote as It pleases him for his own set of candidates. Nothing will obli gate them to cast their otes for Mel-ln-le and Ilobart other than the tuclt or Implied understanding Into which they iiitcied when they were nominated for electois by the Republican state conven tion of lust summer. If news weie to come fiom Canton today thnt Mr Mc Klnley Is dead, they would bo at entile liberty to vote for any other citizen. II II II It is remai liable that there has noser been an Instance in the history of the country when any elector east his ote In dliect or deliberate opposition to tho wishes of those who elected him since the time when the oilginul thcoiy ot the Elec toral college bt'camo riidlcully changed. In 1ST0-77, when n transfer ot an electo lal vote from Ilnjes to Tlldcn would hae Immedliitelj settled the gieat contiovctsy oer tho picHlduitlat succession and would have ended the possibility that then existed of an outbreak of a civil war, and when evetj attempt was made by tho Democrats to reach some elector who might bo timid or con apt, theie was not u single bunk In the entire line. At one time some eflorts were made to persuade Janus, Husell Lowell and Henry L Pearco who weio IIaes electois In Mas sachusetts, and who weie suspected of being what in after jeais came to be known as Mugwumps to cast their otes foi Tlldtn. It wasuigued that this would be a high patilotlc duty, would be In ac cord with tho popular vote of the country and would nullify the schemes for tin ow ing out tho Tllden oteis In Florida and Louisiana. Hut Lowell replied that he had been chosen in good faith to vote foi limes, that ha l ('presented the people ot Massachusetts and that It would be an act of perfidy to cast his ballot for any body else. It Is not unlikely, Indeed, that In the lleico puitlsan excitement in which the countrj looked that w Intel, asassl natlon would have been the fnto ot anj man who would have been guilty of that betrayal of his party II II II Theio have been instances, however, when electors have voted for candidates other thin thoso whom thev were chosen to support; but In no cae whcio the result has been thus materially aftected. When Monroo was elected in the "era of good feeling," thero was no opposition to him. but one elector In New England who did not wlsli that anv other American should enjoy the same honor as AVashlngton of a unanimous election to the ptosldeney, cast his vote for John Qulnev Adams, sim ply to break the unanimity for Monroe. Again, under the old sjstem of choosing tho president and vice-president from the two highest candidates In the electoral footings, and in older that John Adams should not hav e precisely the samo v ote as Washington when tho count came to be made In Congress hall, at Sixth and Chestnut streets, Hamilton ns tho leadei of the Eedeiallsts, sent Instructions to the partv managers in some of the states to see that thero should he ome votes cast against Adams, In 1S72, when Greeley died In the Interval between tho popular elec tion In Nov ember and the assembling ot the electors, the votes of those who were chosen In his Intel est were scatteied among Thomas A. Hendricks, David Da vis and other Demociats. II II II Tho Electoial college, while It has been entirely diverted from Its oilglnal basis as a body of citizens who should exeiolse their best judgment as to the choice of a president and has been brought In dliect lelitlons to tho people In a manner not contemplated bj the fiamers of the con stitution. Is the model on which Mexico and all the other American upuhllcs have established their sjstem of electing the chief executive. The Trench president Is chosen by tho senatois and deputies, -It-tlng as a national assembly, and In no other countiy Is there a dliect vote of the people. Indeed, it was not until the thno of tho Jacksonlan era, with Its popular oi democratic tendencies In all directions fol lowing tho bieakdown in 1S21 of the old congiesslonal caucus sjstem of nomi nating piesldentlal candidates, that the Electoial college was hi ought close to the people of the United States, Then, and for some time afterwaid, there worn at least tlnee distinct methods of choosing the electois by the populai vote, by stuto legislatures and by congressional dls ttlcts, Pennsj haul i's ehctoial vote, foi example, was divided botwien Adams and Jefferson, when the senate and the hollso declined to nuet In joint convention, and each choose hulf of the electors, accord ing to Its pai Usui mujorltj , and New Yoik, In 1S1, voting by congressional dis tricts, cast twentj foi Jackson and sixteen for Crawford. The onlj departure we have had in lecent jeais fiom tho unl foimlty of the electoial sjstem in tho states was when the Democrats ot Michigan passed tho law, since itpialed, by which tho state voted for Its electois In congiesslonal dlstilcts in IS'JJ. II 'I II Simple as are tho prqceedlngs of the Electoial college, thej aie usually so plunned, at least In Pennsj lv aula, as to give eveiy elector an oppoitunlty to saj or do something or to go on the of ficial record The olllclal piesence of the seeretaij of state In charge of the meet ing enables a. variety of motions to be mudo, seeietuiles, seigeants-at-nuns, dooikeepeis, etc, are appointed to su perintend tho august little conclave, which Is usually In session for only an hour or two, und no icasonablo excuse by which the small appropriation of the state for the payment of expenses muy be diawn upon, Is neglected. The elec tois themselves receive $.1 a day for the time actually given up to the work of tho college and their mileage! they fill any vacancies caused y the absent e, thiough death or sickness, ot associates; they write the name of their choice for piesldent and vice-president on a card, and their chief subject of anxiety Is the selection from among themselves of the messenger charged with tho function of currying In person to tho seat of govern ment at Washington, the package contain ing the lists of the votes Anj heait-burn-Ings on this scoro aro paitly relieved, however, by tho choice of another elector who can lea to the United States judge of the eastern district ot Pennsylvania a duplicate of tho list, and by still another, whose duty is to proceed to tho postof flco at Harrlsburg and deposit In the malls a package which may leuch tho seat of government at Washington In tho event of any failure on the part of the messen gei to perform his" errand. Then, after eveiy one has had a chance to offer a tea olutlon of thanks or compliments to some body, tho conclavo dissolves, and tho piesldentlal election In Ponnsjlvanla is at an end, II II l Such is tho simple, jet officially mo mentous, act which tho thirty-two honor able citizens of the commonwealth will perform at Harrlsburg today.
