NO SENATOR
ELECTED
TO-DAY

DENVER. Colo, Jan. 2+.-(Special) }
1t is not likely that any senator will
be returned today When the house
convened this morning Madden was
still absent, but he sent a certificate
signed by police sergeant which
stated that he was seriously i'll, with
impending pneumonia, and for that
reason the resolution to expel him
was not introduced
After the introduction of several
bills of some Importance. the house
on motion of Dolph, by vote of SO to
33. adjourned until ten o'clock Mon
day. The anti-Wolcott faction and
the Democrats voted for the adjourn
ment.
AT present harmony in Republican
ranks seems far distant. II Mr. VOL
colt would withdraw there is no doubt
but that result would be reached at an
early moment. However, on Sunday
the proposition looking to the elimina
tion of the senatorial contest and
making the political complexion of
the assembly will be taken up again.
Governor Peabody has not yet CIV
en- out any intimation which senate he
will recognize. The joint session OF
Democrats convened at noon. Sena-
tors Bailey and Hill were absent on
account OF illness. They were both
reported to be seriously i'll. but sent
word that they would come and vote
for Teller as soon as the senate was
ready to ballot. Moler made motion
that the senators be not sent for un-
til Madden arrived, but as it was not
considered probable that Madden
would arrive, the senators were sent
for. Chances are at this time that
Teller will receive fifty votes, as he
did last night.
The Republican rump senate is in
session trying to reach an agreement
and form a joint session with the Re
publicans in the house.
The chances are that the senatorial
question will remain in status quo
until Monday.
In the house this morning all Re-
publican contestants from Arapahoe
were seated In the rear of the cham
Der. expecting that by some action OF
the house they would be given their
seats. Nothing was attempted, how.
