New York Republicans Have
Solved Satisfactorily the
Senatorial Problem.
DEPEW is TO RETAIN THE SEAT
Black Tells the Chosen One He Didn't
Want It, Anyhow.
Colorado Situation Nearing the Acute
Stage--Republicans Who May
Ralk at the Programme
Protest of
Judge.

New York, Dec. 80. - Chauncey
Mitchell Depew, of New York, will
succeed himself for term of six years
as United States senator from the state
Of New York, continuing as the col
eague of Senator Platt, wac has four
years to serve. The formal announce
ment of this conclusion was made at
the Fifth Avenue hotel by Governor
Odell as chairman of the Republican
state committee, and came as the cul-
mination of series of conferences by
prominent Republicans extending over
several weeks, and practically continu-
Gus during the past three days.
Found the state for Chauncy.
The purport of the announcement is
that the candidacy of Ex-Governor
Black, of Troy, was withdrawn, and
that the name of Depew will be the
only one presented to the caucus of
Republican legislators which will Sc
lect the party's candidate for senator.
Governor Odell's formal announce
ment, which is regarded as closing
the controversy on the subject, gives
it as his conclusion that party har-
mony will be best subserved by the re-
election of Senator Depew," comedies
that the sentiment favoring his selec-
ton is very strong throughout the
state, and declares that 1T would have
been the worst kind OF party general
ship to have run counter to this ex-
pressed public opinion" All along
Odell has declared that his only pur-
pose was to ascertain the desire of the
Republicans of the state.
Black and Depew Exchange Notes.
Later a letter was given out, adj
dressed by Black himself to Depew, iii
which the former governor withdrew
his name from further consideration for
the senatorship and declared that i'll
this course his duty as a Republican
and his private sentiments coincide, for
he protests that his private interests
and personal tastes have both been
"distinctly against entering contest
or even accepting public office, even it
it came without controversy" In a
graceful letter of reply Senator Depew
thanks Black for his cordial sentiments
and declares that the ex-governor's ac-
ton places the party under great obi
CATION to him.

SITUATION IN COLORADO
WOlcOtt Republicans May Defeat the Plan
to Reseat Gov. Peabody.

WOlcOtt Republicans May Defeat the Plan
to Reseat Gov. Peabody.
Denver, Colo, Dec. 30. - Very few
members Of the legislature have yet
arrived in the city and whether the
plans of William q. Evans and other
Republican leaders to reseat Governor
Peabody will be adopted by majority
of the Republican members is still I'M
decided. The Republicans have an
even tWo-thirdS of the votes OH joint
ballot, and can carry any measure OH
which they are united. Some Repub-
lican members known as followers of
ex-senator Wolcott have declared that
while they do not contemplate union
with the Democrats under any cOnsid
Grafton they will oppose vigorously any
plan for counting out Adams.
The neutrality-suspicious. say they
will 80 into party caucus, and will
agree to abide by the decision of the
caucus up to a point where it conflicts
with their conscience. They insist that
they have always strictly observed par
ty regularity. but when course is
commended that is morally wrong they
will not follow it and they will not
consider their decision In that regard
as irregular" The plan to seat Gov
ernor Peabody, some OF them declared,
is wrong, and no caucus action will
bring them to support such action.
For the first time in the history OF
the state Il judge of a district court has
been compelled to appeal in person be-
fore the supreme court of the state
and explain to that tribunal why he
had issued a writ of mandamus when
it was apparent that he was in error
in SO doing. Judge Samuel l.. Car
penter, of the district court, was the
man served with the citation.
A solemn protest against the action
of the high court was entered by Judge
Carpenter, and he said that under the
circumstance he believed that he had
authority to issue the writ against the
state canvassing board to force that
body to canvass the returns made for
Charles b. Ward and DIR. Michael Be
shear, candidates for the senate on the
Democratic ticket from Boulder and
Las Animas counties, respectively. Be
ing now advised that thesupreme court
has decided that district courts have
no power to issue such writs the Judge
said: ut becomes obligatory upon this
respondent, without any order of this
court, of his own motion to dismiss
such proceedings"
Judge Carpenter was thereupon dis
charged by the supreme court, the
writs issued by him were dismissed
and he was directed not to take any
further action directly or Indirectly in
the matter. Decision In the contempt
proceedings against Senator John A.
Rush and Attorney Everett Bell, who
were cited for contempt in procuring

SCHEME WAS FATAL
Negro Convict Uses Dynamite in an At

of the scope Of the decision of the SUI
