THE LEGISLATORS WAGE WAR| Oolorado House Ousts Democrats and 8enate Turne Ont Republicans UPPER CHAMBER SITS IN TWO SECTIONS Lieutenant Governor, Accused of Pare nship, is Called on to Leave Chat Hold Party Mee Members Split and DENVER, Jan ~The threatened war ©of reprisals between the houses of the Colorado legislature began here today In the house of representatives the repub licans ousted democrats and in (he senate after refusing to recognize what they con- sidered partisan rulings, the democrats suspended the lieutcnant governor and pro- ceeded to unseat republicans. Later the eenate Alvided, the in session under the lleutenant governor's leadership and the democrats unseating more members, with W. H. Adams in the chair. House Unsents Lemoerats. 10 Four of the five republican members of | the house committee on election reported in favor of unseating the four float rep resentatives from Arapaboe county, and one other Arapahoe member, all democrats Al had majorities on the face of the returns ranging from 2600 to 4,000, but the republicans claim that these were fraudulently obtained. One republican member of the committee favored unseat- ing all of the fifteen Arapahoe represent- atives. The four democratic members of the com mittee presenied a minority report agalnst unseating any members, claiming that 500 would Ye a liberal allowance for the frand- ulent votes cast in this city. It is the in- tention of the republican members of the committee to also recommend the unseat- ing of two les Animos county democrts. The state senate today adopted a joint resolution hinding the United States senator 10 be elected at this session of the legisla- ture to favor the election of senators by a direct vote of the people. The report of one rebublican member af the elections commitiee (o unseat the fif- teen Arapahoe and two Los Animus county | democrats, was defeated by a vote of 44 to 21. It recelved the votes of the seventeen republican members who are supportipg Bdward 0. Wolcott for senator and several others. By a vote of 33 to 21 S. W. Belford, one of the Arapahoe democrats, was declared entitled to his seat. Two republicans voted with the democrats and one repub- Mean refrained frong voting The vote of the house was taken in rapid succession upon the other ten con- tesls from Arapahoe county, the democrats being seated. Then that of McGill against Welr, representing Sedgwick, Yuma, Philips and Arapahoe counties, was taken up and MeGlll, the republican contestant, declared entitled to the scat. Riley of Archuleta and Conejos counties, Garcla of Conejos and Sanchez of Costilla and Huerfano, repub- licans, who were also nominated by democrats, voted with the democrats on the Arapahoe contests, but changed to the re- publicans on subscquent votes. Agullar (dem.) from Las Animas, was then unseated, and Stevens, the republican contestant, given the place. Other Members Are Displaced. The other contests considered were de- cided in favor of the republicans as fol- Jows: Hillyer displaced Traxler of Prower, Baca and Las Animas, and Naugle, Lowell and Morgan got the seats of Monson, Hilllard and Moore, representing districts of which Arapahoe forms a part. This left a repub- lican majority of two on joint ballot. There are contests against the other four- teen democratic members of the house, and it is understood that should the senate carry out its threat of throwing out re- publicans an equal number will be un- seated. It is also possible that today's acticn in seating democrats may be re- considered. Senate Adopts Minority Report. Late this afternoon the senate took up the contests and the election committee reported on the cases where' democratic seats were being contested by republicans in favor of the democrats. Lieutenant Governor Haggott refused to recognize the democrats, but recognized the republicans. A minority report from the elections com- mittee was submitted which unseated the following democrats: Buckley, Ballinger, Hill, Kennedy, Hal- — CUTICURA OINTMENT Purest of Emollients and Greatest of Skin Cures.

The minority by Lieutenant oport was declared adopted overnor Haggott Chair. Refuxe to Recognize After two hours of vain effort to be recognized by the chair, the democrats de clared the lieutenant governor disqualified to further preside over the senate a provision of the constitution which they say disqualifies the licutenant governor if he refuses| for two hours te recognize a duly elected member of the senate, and President Pro Tem W. H. Adams assumed control of the gavel, remaining, however, in his own seat. He recognized the demo- crats and they submitted a report on all cases where republicans are contesting the seats of democrats, deciding in faver of the latter, which was declared adopted Then a move to compromise matters was started and a conference committee ap- | pointed. At 0 this committee retired to | consider a proposition of the democrats to call off all contests providing the repub- lcans would agree to ballot only formally upon the election of a United States sena- tor, but without making a cholee, thus al- lowing the seat to remain vacant for two years, o until the next meeting of the leglslature. Later there were {wo separate senatorial bodies in mession, one presided over by Licutenant Governor Haggott and composed of republicans numbering nineteen, a ma- jority, and another presided over by Prosi- | dent Pro Tem. W. H. Adams, a democrar, and made up of democrats. The latter bave unseated two more re- publicans, Messrs. Deck and McDonald. About fifty deputy rheriffs are stationed outside the senate chamber and are sald to be adherents of the democrats. It was rumored that Lieutenant Governor Haggott | had telephoned Governor Peabady for troops. This the governor denies. The doors leading into the senate chamber and | galleries are locked and no one is allowed to pass in or out. Judge Gabbert of the supreme court later appearcd in the senate chamber and swore in Borm and Healy in the place of Dick and McDonald, unseated by the democratic | section of the senate. Although both the democrats and repub- licans still held forth in separate session at midnight it was understood that no fur- ther action by elther body would be at- tempted until the house considers the case now pending. Nothing had been heard from the com- mittee on conciliation up to midnight. Delaware Has Its Troubles. DOVER, Del., Jan. 19.—The union repub- lican caucus tonight placed J. Edward Ad- dicks in nomination for both the long and short terms in the United States senate. The caugus then appointed a committee | to consult with who are oppused to Addicks, in an effort to make two nominations on a union repub- lican and the other an Addicks man. The democrats were caucusing in the state house parlore, and the regular re- publicans in the Hotel Richards. It took the democrats twenty minutes to nominate Willard Saulsbury for the short term and former Senator Richard R. Kenney for the long term, State Semator Harrington, the presiding officer, then dispatched a committee of five to the regular republican caucus to submit the proposition of the democrats to help elect a regular republican for the four- year term and a democrat for the sho"t term. At 11 o'clock the regulars took a vote to appoint a committee to confer, the vote standing 8 to 2 in favor. At tLis point the ropresentatives of the union republicans arrived and urged the regulars to unite in a general couference as outlined above. Meanwhile the regulars decided by ac- clamation upon Colonel Henry A. Dupont and former United States Senator Anthony Higgins as thelr nominees for the long term and the short term respectively. Finally it was decided conference committees, one to meet the democrats and ask for further time to con- sider their proposition and the other to in- form the unions that their proposition will be retused as long as it includes Addicks. The regular and democratic cormittees will meet tomorrow. SOCIETY WOMAN IS ARRESTED Letith agle of Plttsburg rged with the Murder of Her Ward.

Congre man Slayden Paints Pleture of Shortcomin, ying Flags Are Pawned and Con! tolen by Diplomats in Mexico, WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The house trans acted coneiderable business today. Several | miscellaneous measures were passed, among tian fire claims bill The consular and diplomatic appropriation blll, the third of the budgets, W and fair progress was made with the Dis- trict of Columbia appropriation bill. During consideration of the diplomatic bill Mr. McClellan (N. Y.) orecipitated a discusslon concerning our diplomatic and consular service which took a wide range and led to some serious charges agalnst consular representatives in Mexico by Mr Slayden (Tex.) Mr, McClellan submitted figures to show the consulates, compared with those of other first class countries, were - underpaid, but overmanned. Mr. Grosvenor (0.) declared the charges un- Justifiable, maintaining that it was the opinion of European publicists that Amer- ica had the most eficient consular service in the world. This was committee suspension day in the house, and immediately after the read- ing of the journal the speaker recognized several members to move the passage of bille under suspension of the rules A bill was passed to grant a right of way through the Fort Sill military reser- vation to the Oklahoma & Western rail- road. Tardy Act of Justice. A bill to revoke the sentence of court- martial againet First Lieutenant Francis S who was dismissed trom the army in 1875, and to authorize his appointment and retirement as a first leutenant, aroused some antagonism. demand for a second, a photographer the public gallery took a flashlight photo- graph. The glare of the flash startled some of the members and Mr. Sulzer (N. Y.) cried out: *Mr. Speaker, I thought it was a bomb. Mr. Lawrence (Mass.), in support of the bill for the reliet of Lieutenant Davidson, said the bill would do a tardy act of justice to a deserving officer. The bill was passed. A senate bill was passed to appropriate $1,000,000 for the payment of the Hawalian fire claims and to authorize the territorial government to issue $500,000 in bonds for the same purpose. The senate amendments to the militia The house then went into committee of the whole on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. Mr. Hitt, in charge of the measure, ex- plained that it earried $2,002,925. or $73,900 more than the current law, and $216,300 less than the estimate. Mr. Slayden (Tex.) severely criticized the character of consular officers abroad, espe- clally some of those in Mexico. Some of the Mexican consulates, he said, were made regular asylums for “invalids and drunk- ards.” “It makes an American blush,” he added, “to hear the stories told of some of our officlal representatives.” Proceeding, hy narrated how a United States consul at Snllll;o. Mex., with two companions, last summer entered the ofice of a newspaper editor to assault him. “Were any charges made to the state de- partment against this officlal?” asked Mr. “Charges have been repeatedly made,” replie! Mr. Slayden. “This particular offi- clal left town between night and morning, while T was in the eity.” Makes Strong Statement. “The particular service of our repre- sentatives,” Mr. Slayden continued, “seems to be drunkenness,” and in this connection he referred to the case of the speclal en- voy sent by a democratic president several years ago, whom, he said, “got drunk at El Paso and painted a broad red streak down to the City of Mexico, 1,000 miles to the south.” He also told of a consular officlal who, some years ago, pawned the American flag for 40 cents with which to buy drink. The concluding chapter of his arraignment was the charge that an American vice consul had been implicated in the theft of coal. Clellan the provision for a secretary of legation to Switzerland was stricken out. Mr. Grosvenor (O.) denounced some of the statements made earlier in the day as slanders on the consular service. He de clared they were mot justified and he was prepared to prove by the opinions of leading Americans abroad that the Amer- jeans had the best consular service in the world. The bill was then passed and the house took up the District of Columbia bill. It carries 37,608,444, boing $844,474 less than the appropriations for the current year and $3,263,923 lews than the estimates. Half the read and at 5:05 o'clock the house adjourned. Discovers Many Casel Mr. McClellan (N. Y.) submitted some interesting figures to demonstrate that the consular service was underpald and over- manned. He made comparisons with other first class countries, which showed that our consular and diplomatic officers re- celved the lowest salaries, but that the total cost of the service was increased by the excessive number of such officers, in some cases double and treble the number maintained by other countriee CUBAN TREATY CONSIDERED passed | While the house was dividing upon the | in | On a point of order made by Mr. Me- | elderation of all bills by unanimous consent. When a bill reported by Mr. Culberson changing the times for holding court in Virginia was read Mr. Lodge (Mass.) ob- jected, saying that as objections seemed to be confined to the bills from the repub lican side, he would object, which brought from Mr. Bailey the st 'ment that the senators from the New York had ioter- fered in a matter pertaining to the state of Texas which was & purely local one Mr. Depew denied that the making of Port Arthur a port of entry was a local question. The department of commerce and labor bill, as amended by the house, was re ferred to the committee on commerce. Mr. Nelson wanted the bill eent to conference at once, but Messrs. Spooner, Aldrich, Hale | and others objected to that course, as it would preveat an opportunity to amend | the house amendments. At 1:35 p. m. the scnate, on motion of Mr. Cullom (1ll.), went into cxecctive sea- slon to consider the Cuban treaty. The doors were reopened at 2 o'clock and Mr. Foraker resumed his remarks in favor of the omnibus statehood bill At 4 the cxecutive session was resumed and at 5:20 the senate adjourned. At the first executive session the treaty was read at length and at the second Senator Cullom (Ill.) who, as chalrman of the senate committee on foreign relations, has charge of the treaty, made a statement of its purport and effect. Senator Bacon (Ga.), also a member of the foreign rela- tions committee, gave notice that he would offer some amendments and asked the priv. flege of making them public, following the example of the senate in making the treaty itself public. This request was de- nled after considerable discussion on the ground that it would be impolitic and un- wise. Senator Cullom's statement was exhaus- tive. He produced a mass of figures to show the commerce between the two coun- tries and gave reasons for the beliet that ratification would cause a rapid increase in that trade. On the basis of the commerce of 1901 the ratification would cause a reduction of about $5,000,000 on the duly paid on Cuban imports and a reduction of about half thet amount on American articies shipped to Cuba. He contended that the United States would secure an advantage in continuing the present free list, as under that rangement there were about $3,000,000 worth of American goods admitted into Cuba free of duty, while only about $2,000,000 worth of Cuban goods come into the United States free. Senator Cullom dwelt at some length on the probability of an increase in the vol- ume of trade under the operation of the treaty, saying that that would be the re. sult not alone of reduced tariffs, but of the mutual good feeling following ratifica tion. 1Ile did not believe any American industry would be injured by the treaty, but considered the agreement from all standpoints one of mutual benefit. Senator Bacon offered one of the amend- ments of which he had given ‘motice. It provided that “this treaty shall mot take effect until the same shall have been ap- proved by congress. The amendment was in line with others recommended by the committee on foreign relations in connection with other reci- procity treaties, and if adopted would re. quire the house to act. Tho amendment was not discussed. The senate adjourned with the understanding that the treaty would be taken up tomorrow during the morning hour. 3 The official text of the amendments of the treaty made by the committee on forelgn relations was made public today along with the text of the treaty. It shows an im- portant variation from the amendment as | unofficially printed. Acderding to the of- clal print, the prohibition of lower rates of duty on sugar importéd into the United States from other countries is confined to action by “ireaty or convention.” Following is the full officlal text of the amendment which s attached to the eighth article of the treaty, declaring for prefer- ential rates between the two countries Provided, that while this conventlon is in force, no sugar imported from the re- public of Cuba, and belng the product of the soll or industry of the republic of Cuba, shall be admitted into the United States at a reduction of duty greater than 2 per cent of the rates of duty thereon as rovided by the tarff act of the United tates approved July 2. 1897, and no sugar the product of any other /orelgn country shall be admitted. by treaty or convention, into the United States, while this conver tion is in force, at a lower rate of dut than that provided by the tariff act the United States approved July 24, 1897, WILL PROBE OCEAN TARIFFS!

Should Germany refuse, the other powers, it was stated today, will not postpone favorable consid- eration of Mr. Bowen's request, but will withdraw their ships. Bombardment Not Reported. BERLIN, Jan. 19.—The Navy department has not received any official advices regard- ing the bombardment of Fort San Carlos, at the entrance to Lake Maracaibo, by the German crulser Panther, on Saturday, and is unable to- elther confirm or deny the press dispatches, The officials say, however, ¢ssuming that something in the way of a bombardment took place, no orders on the subject were sent from Berlin. “Whatever was done was the result of the fnitiative of the com- mander on the spot, to whose discretion the conduct of the blockade was left. The government relies on Commodore Schneider to observe all the formalities usual in applying force and is that neither he nor any subordinate com mander did anything not in- accord with the usages of international law. twenty shots were fired from the fort dur- ing the bombardment of San Carlos and the wills of the fort were slightly dam- aged. Panther has resumed its position at the entrance of Lake Maracaibo, where it maintains the blockade.
