LIVELY FIGHT ON
FOR TELLER'S 5 SEAT
SENATORIAL SITUATION IN COL.
oRtDO 10 BECOMING DECIDED.
LY COMPLICATED AND FIGHT
vii. BE HOT.

Denver, Col, January 4.-The senator
ial situation in Colorado is becoming de-
cidedly complicated and should present
declared plans be carried out the con-
test over the selection of a successor to
Senator Henry M Teller which will be-
gin In earnest with the convening of the
legislature on Wednesday next, will. to
say the least, be exciting and more than
likely spectacular The solid support of
the democratic wing of the legislature for
Teller Is still maintained, while the re-
publican strength Is parceled out among
four candidates of whom former Sena-
tor e. o. Wolcott is the most conspicu-
Gus.
At a meeting of the state democratic
central committee, the matter of the
threat of the republican majority In
the the house to unseat the entire Arapa-
hoe democratic delegation was discussed.
and resolutions adopted to the effect that
it is the right and duty of the senate
to utilize the same constitutional right
and authority, and restore its equilib-
rum" The majority in the senate being
democratic, should their threat to meet
revolution with revolution" be carried
out, 1t would bring about condition
rendering a selection of a senator impos-
sible. With solid democratic senate, 1t
is asserted a deadlock couli be maintain
ed to the end.
1t had practically been agreed that on
next Tuesday night a caucus Of the re-
publican members of the house would be
held to select a speaker. but 1t develops
that several members have refused to
be bound by the action Of the leaders,
stating that they were nominated and
elected on an anti Wolcott pledge, and
they fear that a caucus selection OF
speaker would be made to appear as
Wolcott victory. For this reason they
will, 1t is SAID remain away Tuesday
night These recalcitrants number seven
teen. enough to defeat any action the
caucus might agree to.
A sensation was created by a circular
just issued from the headquarters Of p.
b. Stuart, of Colorado Springs. who is
supposed to be the spokesman of the ad-
ministration at Washington. charging
that copies of letters supposed to have
been received from Senator Lodge say
ing Wolcott was the choice of the admin
istration are forgeries.

Torpedo Boat Destroyer Makes Better
Time Than Contract Calls For.

Boston, January 4.-After waiting for
two days for good weather, the torpedo
boat destroyer MacDonough. built by the
Fore River Ship and Engine company Of
Quincy, Mass, was successfully speeded
over a measured mile, of Wood End,
Provincton, today. She exceeded her con-
tract requirement Of 2S knots, making one
leg at a rate of $3.50. The best two runs
over the mile averaged S.02, which was
the best. and gained her acceptance by
the government board.
The trial was so encouraging that at
its conclusion it was decided to try an
other government test, that of an endur-
ance run of one hour at continued high
speed of 26 knots. This was attempted
on the trip back to Boston, across Cape
Cod bay. but after part or the time had
been consumed. a valve blew out, and
the trial was postponed until Tuesday.
The high speed trial was made under
somewhat adverse conditions. there being
heavy cross sea and considerable wind.
At its conclusion some of the government
officials did not hesitate to say that had
the run been made under the conditions
usually attending government trials, the
boat would have gone all of 20 knots

SHREWD MOVE OF SULTAN
OPPOSES THE PRETENDER

with his brother and Mulai-Mohammed
has made a solemn entry into fez ac-
claimed by the populace. The sultan mas
announced the appointment Of Mulai-
Mohammed as governor of the province
of Fez, thus disproving the rumors that
Mulai- Mohammed aspired to the throne.
When this had been done, according to
the official authority for these statements
the tribes around Fez swore fidelity to
the sultan and denounced Buhamara as
an impostor whom they would prevent
from coming to Fez.
All immediate danger has disappeared.
The routes from Fee to the coast are
open. 1t is said the sultan is now pre-
pairing a large expedition with the IN
tention of crushing the rebellion.
