MIXUP IN COLORADO.
Denver, Nov. 6.-The situation with
reference to the legislative ticket is
confusing. The returns last night and
today have increased the number of
the Republican members in both
houses, and as a result, Tellers fate
hangs in the balance. According to
the latest returns and, with few ex-
ceptions, they are official, there will be
36 Republicans and 20 Democrats, in
Guiding Arapahoe county, in the house,
and % Democrats and IA Republicans
in the senate. Senator Newell (Rep.)
in the 26 tn district undoubtedly will
be unseated, as there can be only IS
senators. This would give the Demo-
Gratis one majority on a joint ballot,
with the Arapahoe members of the
house. The house being Republican,
may unseat the entire Arapahoe dele
cation on the charges Of fraud in this
city. This would give the Republic
ans majority in joint ballot and de-
feat Teller. On the other hand, the
Democrats are claiming fraud in Huer-
fano and Las Animas counties, and
they will contest the election of the
Republican members Of those counties.
According to the latest returns the
entire state ticket was elected and is
by majoriies ranging from
5 200 to 1000 with the exception Of Mrs.
Helen M. Greenfield, Democrat, who APP
pears to be elected by about 2,40O. In
the candidates for congress Shafroth,
Democrat, has 2,455 plurality, Hogg,
Republican, 3,211 and Brooks, Repub-
lican, SAL.

retary of state received a cablegram

ed San Juan, Nov. S, in which he states
