Washington. Jan. 12.-In the Senate.
Mr.. Teller presented n memorial from
1000 "Filipino and peaceful inhabi-
tants" of Manila. The memorial WIS
in the form of an appeal to the Con-
gress of the United States and. as Mr..

by the leading people of Manila in that
section-lawycrs, bankers and profess
sional men, representing the best ele-
ments of that community" 1t reviewed
the circumstances leading up to the
present struggle of the Filipinos for in
dependence.
1t paid high tribute to the work of
Aguinaldo and his coadiutors in their
pendence for the people of the Philip
pines.
Reference was made to some of the
principal events of the present revolu-
tion against American authority, the
petition urging that the American
troops had failed to make serious I'm

of dying for the liberty and independ-
ence of his people. 1t points out that
the revolution has the support of prac-
tlcally all the people of the Philippines

tionists be destroyed, 1000 will rise

Denver, Jan. 12.--HOn. Alva Adams
has withdrawn from the Colorado SEN
atorial contest and has addressed the
following letter to the press, in which
he formally leaves the field to the 9TH
er senatorial aspirants, which means
Hon. T. NJ. Patterson and ex-Gover-
nor Thomas, with Charles j. Hughes,
Jr., as a possible compromise, holding
the balance of power between the two.
Mr.. Adams says:
Never did Colorado need so much as
now the patriotic and undivided ser
vices of her legislators. The present
attitude of the senatorial situation
points to a prolonged contest, disturb
ing public business and interfering
with much needed legislation. Colorado
is greatly more interested in the
prompt enactment of necessary laws
than she is in the particular individual
that is to represent the state in the
United States Senate; so he be n reput-
able and loyal citizen. That the sena-
torial contest may be limited to the

Little Snow In Colorado.

Denver. Jan. 12.-Annual snowfall
bulletin No. was issued yesterday by
the United States department of agri-
culture. 1t shows the following precip-
itation for Colorado during the VIM
ter:
Arkansas watersheds: Leadville,
Ground extremely dry when winter be-
gan; Marshall pass, only one snow of
consequence, and that contained very
little water; La Neta, no snow to
speak of; Salida, has fallen frequent
ly in mountains, but most has melted.
About Monarch on Mt. Shavano the
snowfall has been three or four feet
and most of it remains.
On the South Platte watershed but
little precipitation has occurred and on
the Rio Grande it is the most open
winter experienced in years. Reports
from the Gunnison say snow is much
lighter than usual. and the outlook cor
respondingly poor. Much below the
normal is reported from the Grand
watershed The northwestern and
North park watershed is exceptionally
dry.
Taken as whole. unless the snow
fall increases during the remaining
winter months the outlook for water
for irrigation purposes in the spring
and late summer is discouraging.
Eighteen inches at Marshall pass is the
largest amount lying on the ground at
any one point at present.

THE COAL STRIKE LIKELY
TO OCCASION A FAMINE

was to discuss the advisability of de.
claring the strike.
The sense of the body of miners at
first was equally divided as to wheth-
er or not II strike should be made.
Prominent members of the local union
argued both sides of the question, and
after considerable debating the strikc
was almost unanimously declared. This
means that the entire coal mining elc
ment of Fremont county Is to quit
work until the trouble of the northern
and southern miners is adjusted.
Denver, Jan. 14.-At the beginning
of the third week of the strike of thu
miners employed by the Northern Coal
and Coke Company, yesterday 1t was
announced by the officers that there
was no prospect of n settlement. Both
the strikers and the company are play
ing n waiting game and no overturcs
have been made to end the trouble.

company, said last night: THE situa
ton Is unchanged. The mines havr
been shut down indefinitely. No plans
have been made for the employment OF
men to take the strikers places"

dred miners employed at the Winter
Quarters mine where the accident oc-
Cured last spring, struck tonight. II
Is expected that their action will b.
followed by the men at Clear Greek,
Sunnyside and Castle Gate. The men
submitted demands to the Pleasani
Valley Coal Company, which the eXecu-
tive officers asked further time to con
slider. BY close vote the men refused
to wait and decided to strike at once,
leaving the mines as they are. There
is considerable excitement already and
serious trouble is feared.
Coal is scarce already in Utah and
Idaho, and u continued strike may
cause Il serious famine.

prise, has more than one hundred
