DENVER, Colo. Jan. 21.-The an
nouncement that the house had ad-
journed was a trick to steal the Unit
ed States senatorship. The Demo-
Gratis waited until after the Re-
publican representatives had passed
out. for a message from the Demo-
cratic senate. which 1t had been
agreed should be sent. Meanwhile
the Democratic senate rushed a reso-
lution through to go into joint session
with the house and elect a senator
On its passage word WAS rushed into
the house. and the Democratic :apre-
sentatives filed across the hail to the
east side door Of the senate. where a

NO EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
Changes Make Proposition unsatisfac
tory and Strengthen Opposition.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Jan. 21.-
There is not much prospect of the pas.
sage of an eight-hour law at this ses
sion of congress. although the house
had passed bill which had been ia.
Vorably reported from the senate com.
mittee. The bill which passed the
house has been amended. however,
as to make ii unsatisfactory to both
he friends and the opponents of the
eight-hour movement. and vigorous
minority will resist every effort that
is made to secure its passage. Under
the circumstances, therefore. with
Senator Quay's 'bold-up" on the state.
hood bill, the presidents pressure for
Legislation to regulate the trusts and
the demands of various interests for
the passage OF other bills, the eight
hour proposition is not likely to re-
ceive any serious attention. The Fed.
Grafton of Labor. which is behind this
bill. might be more successful If it
did not ask so much. There Is a gen.
efal disposition in congress to pass
law forbidding employers to require
their employees to work more than
the day, but very few members Of
either house are in favor of prohibit
ing workingmen who desire to work
longer from doing so.
1t is admitted that the average man
can accomplish as much in the long
run If he works eight hours as he
would II he worked ten or twelve
hours, and that the remaining time
is OF greater value for rest and recre.
alton than tor labor; but few con
gressmsn are willing to pass a law
saying that no man shall work longer
than eight hours If he has the dlspo-
sition and the strength This is con
sidered not only an injustice but an
act of tyranny, and the ablest lawyers
in the senate are OF the opinion that
it is unconstitutional for congress to
interfere in such manner with the
personal rights of citizens. 1t is also
objected to as against public policy.
One of the members of the senate
committee during the discussion called
attention to his personal experience
with the eighthour rule which now
prevails almost universally among he
mechanics OF the District of Columbia.

morning until 5 in the afternoon, with
an hour at midday for rest and lunch
'-on.
Not long ago water pipe burst In
the residence of this particular sena-
tor, who called up four plumbers on
the telephone and made frantic ap-
peals for them to send man immedi-
ately to stop the leak. but none of
them would do so because 1t was after
hours. and they declared that none OF
their men would do lick of work af.
tsr . O'Clock for fear of being expelled
form the union. The senator plugged
the hcle as best he could, but not un.
I'll after his horse had been flooded to
the damage of several hundred dol
lars He announced to his colleagues
that after this experience he could
scarcely be expected to vote for a com
pulsory eight-hour law. 1t may there
fore be expected that all such legisla-
tion will be defeated unless the COM
pulsory provisions will be stricken out
Congress is willing to protect mechan.
les and laborers from being compelled
TO work more than eight hours, but
Will not pass law to punish them for
doing so.

DENVER. Colo. Jan. 2l-The
house adjourned until o'clock Fri
day afternoon. The motion was made
by Dolph of the antis. and went
through unanimously, members agree
ing that this did not invalidate the
senatorship. Under the federal stat
utes and decisions OF the supreme
court. it is not necs ssary to ballot in
joint session the day following the
taking of ballots In separate session
One house may adjourn for thirty days
If necessary.
The house has now passed every.
thing up to til two senates and they
must settle thlgs before Tuesday
All the various Republican contestants
for the house outside of Arapahoe are
in the city, and the Democrats fear
that IL the two senates do not reach
an agreement before Friday the house
will take some revolutionary steps to
fins out every Democrat. However
there is a fairly good chance that the
two senates will come to an agreement
before that time
The most feasible plan is for the

cans Unless some Republicans vote

vote for Republicans. the assembly
will assuredly deadlock
Wolcott people are now urging the
adoption OF this scheme, Wolcott real
izing that it is useless for him to try
to be elected this session. Both the
aniis and the Democrats are divided
on this proposition.
This house had conference this
morning after adjournment and they
decided they would take no action be-
fore the two senates got together.
The senate this morning passed the
appropriation bills on their readings.

declined to hear the message from the
senate, and so the matter is up in the
air until Friday.
Inc committee that VIII settle the
whole trouble. composed of members
of both the Democratic and Republi-

afternoon. The probabilities are that
the fifty to fifty proposition will be
agreed upon. Many Republicans are
holding out. however, for unseating
two Republican senators. After the
house adjourned this morning the SER
seants at arms were given orders to
remain on duty and allow no persons

Early this morning ladders were

A SUCCESS
IN BLOOD POISONING

NEW YORK. January 21.--
Formalin has been tried for second
time in the treatment of blood pos.

DR.. r. w. Morster. assistant house

symptoms are all favorable to rseJy

rash to give out n definite progposi-
at this time The woman Se1ld. nave
died in a few hours II 1t had hot been
for the treatment.
"A second examination # biooi
culture made today shows a dImupi-
tion In the number OF stretococC in
the blood. The white blood corpus
cles. which were in excess, and which
constitrte condition known as leu
coytosis. are also diminished. This
condition prevails in all septic inham-
nations. The patient slept three
hours during the night. and this Is a
good symptom In itself. as three hours
sleep is n great relief for sick per.
son. Everything points to recovery"
In addition to greatly increased
number of white blood corpuscles and
the streptococci. other germs. includ-
Ing the staphylococcus pyrogenes au-
reus were found In the culture.
The first examination was made
when the woman was admitted to the
hospital, and a second one of fresh
ly prepared culture was made today.
The diminished numbers of the viru-
lent bacteria conclusively proved the
cocnteracting influence of the forma-
lin. third culture Will be examined
