COLORADO LEGISLATURE.

The Senate Wants to Adjourn, but the
House VIII Pro badly Refuse.
DENVER Coli, Jan. 1.-THE Senate to-
day received majority report of the spe-
cial committee appointed to consider the
Governors message. The report declared
that there was no occasion for the extra
ordinary session, and recommended ad-
Journment tomorrow. In regard to the
proposition to have Colorado silver bull
ion coined into Mexican dollars, the
committee stated that they were COM
PEELED to recognize the sovereign author
ity OF the United States in the issuance of
all coin, and the Governors suggestion is
absolutely impracticable. A minority
report will be presented, but the majority
report will be adopted.
The House, from present indications,
will not agree to immediate adjournment,
and there will probably be a deadlock
until one gives up the fight.
In the House to-day a member from
FL PaSo County created a sensation by
introducing the following resolution:
1T looks like the devil for memb bers of
the Ninth General Assembly to be stop
ping at sumptuous hotels in Denver and
drawing 81 per day from an impoverished
constituency, under the pretense that they
can better their condition by legislation.
Therefore, be it
"ReSoIDed, That members of this AS
sembly and employees of the same will
stay here without pay until hell freezes
over. and do all we can for the good of the
State"
The merriment over this effort shook
the building, and Speaker Ammons re-
fused to entertain it. Baldwin asked the
reason.
because the language is objection
able" said the Speaker.
''Wen, only quoted the Governor"
Baldwin replied; but the resolution was
not received.
Governor Waite has received this dis
patch from Senator Stewart "I believe,
as a matter of law, State may make a
foreign coin legal tender, according to the
metal of standard value, and Mexican
dollar might be made legal tender for
free value"
The Republican members of the House
held another caucus tonight to discuss
the question of immediate adjournment.
The determined stand by the Senate and
the potent influence brought to bear by
party leaders have changed the opinion
OF some of the Republicans in regard to
the wisdom of continuing the session.
The indications late tonight are that the
Legislature will adjourn sine die to-mor-
row or at the latest on Saturday.

Case Martial Law is Declared.
New YORK, Jan. II. = A HerdLGs
special from Jacksonville says: The Adj
jutant- General held a conference with
officers of the local militia at the Everett
House tonight to ascertain what would
be their action in case called upon to stop
the prize-fght. The meeting lasted
thirty-fve minutes, and when over Gen
eral Houston felt so crestfallen that he
refused to talk / was informed by o
gentleman present that they had cam
vasSed the whole question, and had de-
cided to pay no attention to the Governor
should he proclaim martial law in Duval
County and order them out. They said
they knew of no law to warrant the Gov
ernor in proclaiming martial law to pre-
vent boxing contests, and they would not
recognize him in the matter. They de-
clared that they were still loyal to the
State, and would hope to remain good
militiamen, but would not allow the Gov
ernor to arrogate to himself powers
which he did not possess under the
statutes, and use them to injure
relatives and friends. 1t was pointed out
in a mild way that they were laying
themselves liable to arrest. They an
swered that they had canvassed the whole
matter and decided.
ANOTHER STATEMENT FROM THE CLUB.
JACKSONVILLE (Fla.). Jan. 11.--The
DuvaI Club to-day made another state
ment to the public, the first part of which
was devoted to the history of the Duval
Club and the proposed Corbett- Mitchell
glove contest. The new and interesting
part of the statement embodies letter
| from Bowden to the Governor which
recalls to his memory that during the
conference at Tallahassee the Governor
advised the club people to bring any legal
proceedings that would convince him
| that the contest was not illegal, and denies
any collusion between the club and local
law officers in having Corbett and
Mitchell arrested in order to make up
test case.
The letter states that the club does not
propose to have prize fight, only
scientific glove contest. pure and simple.
The statement continues: while this
letter was in transit the County Solicitor
took advantage of our liberty of not
pushing habeas corpus proceedings and
nolle prosed the case against Corbett and
Mitchell, thus depriving us of adjudica-
ton by the highest court open to us.
| Thereupon we sent telegram to tho
Governor asking him to submit the mat
ter, as promised our representative, to the
Supreme Court, which he refused to do.
The club then made the announcement
that the fight would come off, the Gov
ernor Notwithstanding"

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-An attempt 10
blow up with two bombs tenement house
No. "a, avenue d, was made tonight. A
tailor shop on the first floor had been
locked up over a month. owing to hard
times. At 10 o'clock there was a terrific
explosion in the tailor shop. An alarm
of fire was promptly turned in. The
whole front of the house had been blown
out by the explosion and all the glass in
the building shattered, and the shock
aroused the whole neighborhood. The
fireman found gas-meter had exploded,
and discovered trail of kerosene which
led from the meter to the cellar. They
found a quantity of cotton-batten soaked
in the kerosene and bomb made of lead
pipe to which half-burned fuse was at
tached. A later examination showed
that the bomb was filled with enough
powder to blow the entire house into
fragments The fire department Office
claims that the bombs exploded few
minutes after the gas-meter's explosion.
A great deal of mystery surrounds the
matter, and, while the police department.
are very reticent, they are making
careful investigation.

O'clock last evening the big snowstorm
which has been raging east OF the Rockies

ton to assist the farmers during the

One of the most curious expeditions
ever planned by man was that once I'M
land, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
During all his lie he had been close
student of the philosophy of digestion,
and for the purpose of his Investigations
he had that remarkable Canadian, Alexis
st. Martin, in his care for twenty years.
In order to clinch matters and provide
for some of the doubling Thomases, DR..
Bunting cast about tor some one else
upon whom he might continue to expert
ment He could think of but one plan, and
that was TO go into Africa, buy two slaves
and operate upon their stomachs BY
opening the body near the fifth rib and
perforating the stomach a condition could
be produced similar to that existing i'll
the person of st. Martin. Therefore the
doctor purchased his supplies and sailed
across to Tunis in the north of Africa.
There he hired native chief with forty
of his followers, paying them liberal
retaining fee and promising them allur-
ing Iargess when the trip should be ended.
They set forth. The doctor carried 5000
in his inside pocket, and the chief proba-
bly, lay awake four nights thinking about
the matter. At any rate, on the fifth
night he sneaked into the doctors tent
and delivered a little address over the
muzzIe of two pistols. When he had con-
cluded the doctor passed over his ducats
and the chief passed over the border along
with his renegade band. They helped
themselves to such supplies as suited
their artless and Enlightened tastes. The
doctor came back without retlnue and
and with deal of experience that Will

SEATTLE (Wash.), Jan. 1.-Two de-
cisions were handed down to-day by
United States District Judge Hanford,
one of which practically renders the
oleomargarine law imperative, and the
other declares that private sealed COM
munications are not included in the
United States statutes prohibiting the
sending of obscene or hbelous matter
through the mails.
The first decision was made on de-
murrer to an Indictment for violating
regulations of the Treasury Department
in regard to the labelling Of packages OF
oleomargarine, the court holding that
Congress cannot delegate its legislative
powers or prescribe punishment for
violation of regulations to be afterwards
prescribed by someone else,. as the oleo-
margarine law does not prescribe any
regulations. but left the making of them
to the Treasury Department. No one
can thus be punished for violating them,
and the law thus becomes practically in
operative.
The second decision holds that the
clause "or other publication" refers to
all specific items which are declared to
be unavailable in the paragraph of the
postal laws prohibiting the sending of
obscene and libelous matter through the
mails. a man was indicted for sending
an obscene private letter, which was
sealed, and as it was not alleged that a
third person had seen the letter before 1t
was sent, it was held to be no publica-
