Alva Adams came TO Denver from his

take the threat OF Republicans to pre-

would gracefully retire.

lature will meet one week before the
next term of governor begins. During
that time, or prior, the state canvass
ing board will declare the amendment
adopted. Governor Peabody will make
the appointments and the senate IL
Republican. will confirm them. Should
the Democrats control the senate Gov.
Peadbody's appointments will be re-
jected and Governor Adams will APP
point the two judges. The canvass of
the votes in Pueblo and Denver coun-
ties has not yet been completed, but

In the Three Days Fighting Japanese
Lost One Hundred Men.

Mukden. Nov. 30.-There seems to
be undue importance attached to the
three days fighting between the Jap
anese and General Rennekampfrs men
1t was in reality an unimportant ad-
vance guard affair, in which the Jap
anese were repulsed with a loss of 100
men. This advance of the Japanese
against Da Pass need not be consid-
cred as a big thanking movement to-
ward Tie Pass. which so many imagine
is the route the japanese intend to
take. Both the japanese armies are
united near Mukden. and as hereto
fore are simply awaiting developments.

cation of the Lao river will close in a
