now THE WORK wAs..~-~
Flfty-ono Democrats, Majority of the
Whole Legislature, in Joint Session.


Fify-one Democrats, Majority of the
Whole Legislature, In Joint Session.
1t was 3 r. IN. Saturday before a
joint session of the Democratic house
and senate met and cast fifty-one bal
lots, majority of the two houses,
for Teller. w. II. Adams, president
of the senate, presided. The result
was reached after week of untiring
effort on the part of the Democratic
leaders, during which many rumors of
treachery had been circulated and
many delays had occurred by reason
of the absence from roll call of diff
ferent members Of the assembly. From
Monday morning the Democratic
branch of the senate had been in prac-
| tically continuous session, and from
Wednesday at noon the joint session of
| theDemocratic members of both houses
had been continuous.
From Friday morning all the Demo
Gratis We're ready to cast their ballots
for Teller except Representative Mad
den, of Denver. The absence of Mad
Il
den was unaccounted for until Satur-
day afternoon, when it was learned
he was at home i'll with grip, and had
been forbidden to leave his house by
his physicians. I'm spite of his condi-
ton he decided to attend Saturday
evening, and at the hour named was in
his seat and cast his vote for Teller.
There were no Republicans of either
house present and the legality of the
election is not admitted by the Repub-
lican leaders.
The climax in the senatorial fight
came last night, when ex-senator VOL
colt. the candidate Of the so-called
"stalwart' wing of the Republican par
ty, announced his practical withdrawal
from any further contest, and urged
the people of Colorado to accept the
situation as It stands by the election
of Teller Saturday. The announcement
was made in n signed statement in
which Wolcott charges certain Repub-
lican leaders associated with the anti
| Wolcott forces in the Republican ranks
with treachery, deliberate and continu-

ter Lessler said: you have got no
idea of the abominable methods to
which these people have resorted. They
maintain most INSCRIPTIONS lobby in
Washington, and it is as much as
anybody's reputation is worth to have
anything to DO with them" This set
tied it with Quigg and he did not, he
declared, offer Lessler $1,000 or any
other sum for his vote.
Quigg said that I.essler had told him
that on the subject of the Holland tor
pedo boat this committee would be
divided into honest men and knaves,
and that he could not be in the wrong
crowd" This raised a laugh, and when
Quigg said I.essler did not name the
two classes 4 committeeman said that
was great relief.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY TREATY
Arbitration without an Arbitrator Is the
Plan Agreed On.

Arbitration without an Arbitrator Is the
Plan Agreed On.
Wnshfngtom, Jan. 20. = Secretary
Hay and Sir Michael Herbert, the Brit
ish ambassador, Saturday signed a
treaty providing for the settlement of
the Alaskan boundary question. Eff
forts in this direction have been put
forth for long time, the pressure
coming from both sides. The treaty
signed Saturday provides for the refer
ence Of all the boundary questions to n
mixed tribunal of jurists, three on each
side, to determine the Interpretation to
be placed on the treaty of 1925 between
Great Britain and Russia, which de-
fined the boundaries between British
America and Alaska.
This proposition is virtually the
same as that brought forward by the
United States members of the high
joint commission which met in Wash
ington three years ago, but which then
was rejected by the British and Ca
madam representatives because they
did not think arbitration without an
arbitrator would be successful. 1t is
said that the treaty has the assurance
Of being ratified by the senate.
The people of the northwest are said
to approve Of the treaty, because they
think it makes it certain that the de.
cision will be in favor Of the United
States, or there will be no decision.
There are, besides, certain Limitations
as to the action of the whole body of
commissioners Chief among these
Limitations is that, whatever the result
Of the arbitration may be, the existing
United States settlements on tide
water on the Alaskan coast will con-
dnue to be the property of the United
States and will be United States terri
tory and, of course, within the juris-
diction of this government.

indianapolis, Jan. 24.-The conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers in

rate in Indiana is 40 cents, and the in.

cents. A demand will also be made
for proportionate advance to the in.
side and outside common laborers. The
minimum rate of wages in Indiana fol-
inside laborers is S2.25 per day.

Attempted Bribery of Lessler.

Attempted Bribery of Lessler.
Washington, Jan. 90. - The salient
points of the testimony given Saturday
In the Lessler bribery investigation
were Doblin's, McCullagh's and Quiggs
testimony. Doblin testified that he was
practically authorized to offer Lessler
$4,000 for his influence for the sub
marine boat people. He quoted Quigg
as saying: "There is some friend Of
mine whom desire to favor If can.
If can get the aid want there will
be $4,000 in 1t" Then he said. 81

political inspirations If he did not vote

Ter to vote for submarines because
he McCullagh) had a friend who had
requested his influence. He said Less
Ter very emphatically refused.
Then Quigg took the stand and de-
clared he planned to see Lessler on
behalf of DIR. Kerr, of Chicago, who
had been, Quigg knew, in the pneu-
matte tube business with AIilholland.
DIR. Kerr told Quigg that Lessler was
opposing the boats in "boisterous
and noisy" way. He said he did not
suppose he could do much with Less
Ter, but If he could cool LESSER off,
1t would be appreciated. Quigg got
Doblin to arrange meeting with
Lessler, which came Off in time and
Quigg made his plea to Lessler not TO
be so "boisterous," ETC., saying: F'I

you not TO be so stiff about the mat
