THE STATE
ASSEMBLY
Senatorial Election Consumed
Much Time.
Especial Corrcspondence.) }

Denver, Colo, Jan II.
The Legislature has again settled

three days of the week there was

sorbing theme. While the issue was
settled Mt Monday nights caucus. it
was hard for the members to get their
minds down to matters before them
until after the final act which closed
Al nool yesterday when the Hon. r.
Nj. Patterson was elected to represent
the state of Colorado in the upper
branch OF congress.
The election of Mr.. Patterson while
unanimous 50 far as the fusion vote
is concerned. has left many sore
spots. There are many members of
both the house and senate who look
upon Mr. Patterson as anything but
Democrat, n sort of Wandering Jew"
as II were, and the Democrats having
majority in both branches. feel it
keenly because n Simon-pure repre-.
sentative OF the party was not selected
for the honor. Again. there is feel.
ing that there has compact been en-
tered into between tie Patterson and
Adams forces for the election of the
latter two Years hence to succeed
Henry NJ. Teller, no consideration be-
ing paid the latter. While Silver Re.
publicans voted for Mr.. Patterson,
there Is an undercurrent that does
not appear on the surface, a curreut
that may sweep the schemers off the
face of the political earth two years
hence. Senator Newell was the only
one to allow himself to come out open.
ly. and Bareia was the only Democrat
who announced that he would remain
loyal to Teller II he were candidate
two years hence. But these matters
will cool down for the pregent and
nothing appears In the way of earnest

All Sorts Of Rumors.

LONDON, Jan. l9.-Tclegrams from
Cowes today agree in announcing an
improvement in the queens health,
but The reports are discounted by the
fact that the Prince of Wales and
Princess Louise duchess of Argule)
started to Cowes by special train at
80 p. IN. Even this, however. hard
ly justifies the hysterical reports in
circulation, among which is the ru-
NOR that the queen had n paralytic
stroke a couple of weeks ago.
A bulletin from Osborne House Is.
sued at noon today. was posted at the
Mansion House at 3 o'clock and at
tlacted crowds of people whose faces
sufficiently attested their deep con-
cern. The people stood about In lit
tie groups discussing the bulletin and
awaiting further news. During the
course of the afternoon sinister ru.
mOrs began to circulate of the death of
Her Majesty. but at p. m. Lord Ed
ward Pelham Clinton, master of the
aueens household. telegraphed 10
buckingham that the rumors were I'M
tue.
This evenings bulletins from Os-
borne show that Victoria is apparently
sinking. The venerable ruler of the
British empire today is 81 years, 24l
days old, one day older than her
grandfather George III. at his death.
The queen has thus lived longer than
any other British monarch.
