LEGISLATURE
Session Opened Today and
the Senatorial Question
Is Foremost.
IT IS A BEAUTIFUL MIx-Up
Anti Wolcott Republicans Re-
fused to Attend the Caucus
and May Act With the
Democrats

Denver Colo, Jan. 1.-THE 14th gen.
eral assembly which Is to elect sue
cessor to Senator Teller, met at noon
today. The Republicans have a major
ity of three in the house, but only II of
the "a Republican members attended
the caucus this morning those opposed
to Wolcott for senator refusing to join
this caucus. 1t is understood a deal
has been made between the anti-Wol-
colt Republicans and the Democrats
which will prevent the election of VOL
colt. The Democrats have a majority
of 13 in the senate and of 10 on the joint
ballot. Republican leaders have plann-
ed to unseat II or more members of the
house, thus securing a majority on the
joint ballot. 1t is said the anti-Wolcott
Republicans have now agreed to un-
seat only members and while this will
give the Republicans an apparent ma
jority of two on the joint ballot, the re-
suit of the senatorial election will still
be in doubt, as two members who have
been counted as Republicans, were
nominated by the Democrats as well
as Republicans, and 1T is uncertain
whom they will support for senator.
With Wolcott out of the race, the
leading Republican candidate is Frank
C. Cloudy. 1t has been tacitly agreed
by the Democrats that Adams of Con-
ejos, will be president pro tenn of the
senate.
The house and senate met at noon
today. The senate adjourned until to-
took a vote on the chief clerk which re-
suited in Democrats 81 for Thomas Ly
ons, Wolcott Republicans II for c. A.,
Lyman, Wolcott II for John Wv
ian. 1t probably will adjourn without
raSIllt

ALL MEMBERS PRESENT.
Cabinet Discussed Venezuela, Cuban
Reciprocity and Indianola Post
Office.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 7.-At the
cabinet meeting all members were pre-
sent. Serious consideration was given
to the status of the Venezuelan question.
The status of the Cuban reciprocity
treaty in the senate also was considered.
Confidence was expressed by the pres
idsnt and members Of the cabinet that
the treaty would be ratified, but the dis
position Of some OF the advocates OF the
het. sugar interests to couple the Cuban
Sfeasy aath She rsndisg Philippine tariff
bill was deprecated.
The Indfanola, Miss, postof1ice case
was discussed and 1t was decided that
the stand taken by the administration
should be adhered to, the contention
being that the people themselves and
not the government are responsible for
the closing of the office. Postmaster
General Payne had no new developments
to report.

business, 1t an early date. 1t will proba-
bly, be done by presenting an antitrust
bill to be made special order and 1t Is
expected that enough Democratic votes
cam be secured to supplant the state
hood bill as unfinished business. There
| is a certain element in the senate that
would welcome an opportunity to defer
action and vote on the statehood bill
The senators comprising that element
have not taken a positive position on
the measure and do not desire to do so
Governor Otero, National Committee
man Solomon Luna and Major w. H. H.
Llewellyn have reached here and are
hard at work for the bill.

ing the committee on the District of

rum, necessitating roll call.

read a number of resolutions favoring
single statehood for Oklahoma and In
dian Territory. Mr.. Quay criticised the
resolutions and said the single state
hood bill to which they referred was

ing Mr.. Beveridge. He said the parties
attending the convention which drew
up the resolutions had masqueraded as
d representative convention of the peo-
pie of Oklahoma, whereas It was a con-
yention of the advocates of the Nelson,
or single statehood bill. In responding,
Mr.. Beveridge declared that the obser-
vations of the Subcommittee wnlcn

hood with Oklahoma.
