TELLER HAS
 GOOD CHANGE May Again Go to the
 Senate. THE COLORADO MIx-UP The Farce of Two Upper Houses is Continued. Governor Peabody Says That He Will Not Acceds to the wol- cott Demand and Order
 Out Troops. ,

Denver. Col. Jan. 20-Both Houses of the General Assembly balloted for United States Senator at noon today and Henry M. Teller received fifty votes. only one less than Is needed to elect. Senator Mo- Guire, Democrat, refrained from voting. but he has frequently said he would vote for Teller if it should appear that he could be elected.
 Only two Republican Senators were in the Senate chamber when the vote for Senator was taken and they did not re- spond when their names were called. Soon afterward the nine regular Repub. iican Senators, the two who were expelled by the Democratic majority and the eight contestants who had been sworn in on the steps of the Capitol last night, as- sembled in the Lieutenant Governor s room and formed separate organization, the Senate officers previously chosen be- ing ordered removed A ballot was then taken for Senator.
 Went to the Regulars.
 Subsequently two of the regularly elect cd Republican Senators, Drake of Lara mer County and Cornforth of Fl Paso. left the Haggott Senate and returned to the Senate Chamber where they announced that they would act with the regular Senate" and would no longer participate in farce" Under the Constitution Lieutenant Governor HagEott is the pre- siding officer of the joint session which is to meet at noon tomorrow to vote for Sem etor, He will insist that the body over which he presided today was the regular Senate and that It's vote for Senator should be accepted. The Speaker of the House will then be called upon to decide which Senate shall bo recognised as reg ular. Comparison of the journals will show that no one has been elected Sena- tor. Ii will then be nacepsary for Siaa joint session to proceed with baiioting until Senator ia chosen. If the Demo- cratic Senate is recognized and the House remains with its present membership, as seems likely. Senator Teller win be re- elected. On the contrary if the Republi- can Senate Is recognized there is likely to be no election and the balloting win con- tinue indefinitely.
 Wolcott Wants Troops.
 Edward O. Walcott, the leading tRepub- lican candidate for Senator, and his fol- lowers are urging the Governor to call out the militia to place Haggott and the Re- publicans in possession of the Chamber.
 Governor Peabody said today that he would not interfere. The Republican leaders in the House today refused to car ry out the Walcott program and unseat the eleven Arapahoe Democrats. The Senate remains in continuous session but will not remove more Republicans pend- ing further aggression by the House.
 When asked today regarding his atti- tuda with reference to the split in the Senate, Governor Peabody said:
 q am the Governor of the whole people and not subservient to any clique of any political party and I will be guided by the law and constitution In deciding which side of the Senate should be recognized. do not contemplate calling out the militia. There is no occasion for bayonets. think that the police can keep Eder."
