forces for support of theirm ovement,
anr that thereafter the provisional gov
eminent depended absolutely upon the
United States forces and the flag for pro-
lection andf or the maintainance OF the

Senator Teller he admitted that as a
member of the foreign relations commit
tee he understood the efforts of the presl-
dent, moral or diplomatic, to restore the

are rife concerning the probable action
oft he grand jury have it that the Guar
auty Loan scandal has been reopened,
and at least one indictment returned,
that of Hiram X. Cole, the treasurer Of

one against w. s. Streeter, the indicted
vice president Of the gigantic concern.
Mr.. Cole, as an officer of the company,
must, it is said, be held partially re-
sponsible for the operations of President
Menage. Mr.. Cole is we'll known among

Denver, Feb. 13.-The legislature has
been in session a month at cost to the
state of over $4,000, and as yet not a
single law has been enacted. Representa-
tives are indignant at the refusal of
Auditor Goodykoontz to issue warrants
for their salaries until bill is passed
designating from what fund or funds the
money shall be taken. The auditor bases
his refusal on the ground that there is
no money in the treasury not previously
appropriated. His communication ex-
planning his position was, on motion of
Representative Sweeney, returned to the
Rocky mountain canary who sent it in, y
and it will not appear in the records OF
the house.
