Republican Members of Colorado Sen

DENVER. Colo, January 26.-The regu-
larity of the election of United States Sen
ator Teller Saturday at joint session Of
the democratic members of the two houses
of general assembly is practically conceded
by the republican senator's. who today
abandoned the separate organization which
they maintained all last week and returned
to the senate chamber, where the demo-
cratic majority has been in continuous ses-
sion since last Monday. Lieutenant Cover
nor Haggott shook hands with the demo-
cratic president pro tenn. Senator Adams,
who had presided during his absence last
week, and resumed the chair. The senate
then adjourned until Thursday afternoon.
The republican officers of the house Of
representatives today recognized the demo-
cratic senate as the regular organization
by receiving from its secretary the emer-
gency appropriation bill which it passed
last week. A motion was made by Repre-
sentative Frewen Wolcott member, to re-
consider the adverse action on the report
for the expulsion Of all the Arapahoe demo-
cratic members. but it was defeated by a
vote OF 81 to "a The house then ad-

for him to apprehend the burglar. Mrs.
Ciayborne got good look at him. and he was
seen to meet another colored man when he
got outside the house. Detective Peck in

lions Of the men. An entrance was gained
to the house by cutting stats from a win

In Anacostia Saturday afternoon. The vic

no right to assume that he represented the
majority.
Senator Quay sat silently during this re-
ply. and appeared to be ready with re-
tort. when Senator Cockrell (Mo.} arose to
a question Of order Senator Ceckrell de-
MED that the committee on printing had a
right to have its report considered today.
He asked the presiding officer, President
Pro Tenn. Frye, If there was any rule OF the
Senate under which this report could be
considered on the day 1t was presented to
the Senate except by unanimous consent.
There is none" replied Senator Frye.
Senator Hale then maintained that the
Henderson statute made the report of the
committee on printing privileged.
Senator Cockrell commended that it could
be considered only on the day 1t was pre-
scented by unanimous consent and that
view of the contention was sustained, the
report going over until tomorrow.
The feeling shown in this colloquy Is in
dicative Of the growing bitterness In the
Senate over the statehood bill, and as time
passes many senators think that Senator
Quay, in his determination to carry out
the policy he has pursued. will be involved
IN other and perhaps still more bitter en-
tangements.

HERRAN'S POWERS
SENATOR MoRGAN'S RESOLUTION
OF INQUIRY.
Doubts Whether the Present Colombian
Government Has Adequate
Authority.

Senator Morgan, chairman Of the inter
oceanic canal committee. today offered in
the Senate a resolution questioning the Gre
dentials of DR.. Herran, charge d'affaires
of Columbia. who recently signed with Sec
rotary Hay the isthmian canal treaty.
Mr.. Adrich Immediately made the point
that the subject must be considered in exec
utive session and the Senate went into exec
utive session on the motion OF MT Hale.
The point which Senator Morgan made
was that the validity Of the government
which accredited Herran to the United
States was doubtful, and that 1t should be
inquired into by the United States. AZ soon
as the doors were closed Mr.. Morgan took
the floor and discussed the subject at some
length. He said there had not been an cleo
ton in Colombia since 1898. and that 1t
was questionable whether the present act
ing government had authority to send q
representative to the United States.
The resolution which Mr.. Morgan pre-
scented follows: THAT the President is re-
quested, If 1t is not incompatible with the
public interests, to inform the Senate as to
the alleged full powers of Senior Herran.
who signed the treaty with Colombia that
was sent to the Senate on the 23d Of Janu-
airy, 1903. for ratification, to negotiate and
sign the same. and that he send to the
oSAoe a. SoPy Va LILO Po"C1o Va SoAo oS-
gotiator."
Much interest was manifested in the pro-
ceedings Of the executive session Of the
Senate this afternoon. The Senate after
closing the doors remained in executive ses-
sion until twenty minutes Of 8 o'clock, the
time being taken up by a discussion Of Sem
ator Morgan's claim that Minister Herran
Of Colombia was without proper legal Gre
dentials to make treaty with the United
States. and that the standing Of President
Marroquim of Colombia was also such as
to question the validity Of his acts. He
said that MarroQuifn's occupancy OF the
position at the head Of the government was
more that Of military dictator than a
president de jure.
While this statement by Senator Morgan
was one that created profound impress
sion in the Senate, and was maintained by
a brief legal argument as to the status Of
Colombian affairs, 1t has not caused sena-
tors to feel that the treaty with Colombia
in relation to the Panama canal Is at all
jeopardfZed.
Senator Bacon Of Georgia spoke on the
subject, but did not sustain Senator Nor
gan's views. In fact. it is said that not a
single senator present arose to back up the
chairman Of the committee on interoceanic
that this incident will injuriously affect
the ratification of the treaty, though it
may lead to further discussions along the
line begun today. and will probably call
forth a more careful reply than was given
1t this afternoon by any senator on the re-
publican side.
Senator Morgan's resolution of Inquiry
was referred to the committee on foreign
relations.

INCREASE1 an DEMAND
Anticipated prsrop. a Price Supply
Entirely. Adsauate-Prices
aaaoted Today.

The increase IN the demands Of custom
ers for coal from tie local dealers today
Is attributed. mainly,to the renewal Of cold
weather. The Hfderas while more numerous
than usual. areoaidstp be for small amounts,
from quarter to three-quarters OF a ton.
1t Is evident that the residents Of Washing
ton are anticipating reduction In the
price OF fuel and are not anxious to fill
their bins = with the high-priced product
when 1t may drop within few days.
There has been a decided increase in the
receipts OF both hard and soft coal in Wash
ington within the past twenty-four hours.
On the tracks Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad today there were 100 cars of an
thracite and forty-stx cars Of bituminous.
and 100 cars each OF hard and soft coal on
the tracks Of the Pennsylvania railroad.
rms makes a total OF 376 carloads Of fuel
In the yards Of the two railroads.
Inc work of unloading Is interfered with
to some extent by! the conditions Of the
weather. The streets are quite slippery
and the teams are able to move rapidly
from the yards to the homes Of the custom
ers OF TO the coal bins OF the local deal
ers Then. too. the coal is frozen in the
cars and this circumstance impedes the
work or unloading The local dealers, how
ever. are not complaining Of a lack Of coal
and state they are able to supplys the de-
mandS OF customers -
the Prevailing Prices.
The price Of premium anthracite ranges
from SO to Sill ton. The highest price
quoted today to representative of The
Star In an inquiry among a number OF the
principal dealers was .$1l. Reading coal is
selling for 1925 ton. Soft coal Is retailing
at from 81 to $3.50 and is coming in more
abundantly break in the price Of anthra-
cite Is confidently expected from the in
creased amount OF the shipments being re-
ceiyed here and the reduction in the price
Of fuel at the mines.
Mr.. Charles F. Weller Of the Associated
Charities stated to Star reporter today
that the association finds considerable diff
fculty in providing for the needy at this
season. The work Of the Associated Chari-
ties. he states, has been heavy for the past
two weeks and continues to grow. February
Is said to be the anxious month in the work
Of relief. and the charity workers are en-
deavoring to provide for the anticipated
increase OF responsibilities.
Secretary Weller says that the agents Of
the association have found occasional cases
Of suffering recently. The principal needs Of
those in distress have been for fuel and
bed clothes. AS soon as the cases are dis
covered, however, the association has been
able to furnish the required supplies. Sew
eral families have been found lately with
out stoves in their quarters, and these have
been furnished. The association Is still
short of funds. The amount collected at
this time Is insufficient to meet the needs
Of the needy at this season of the year. and
it Is hoped that the people of Washington
will contribute to the work Of relief.
