PEABODY TO CONTEST
ELECTION OF ADAMS.
An Exciting Fight Expected in
Colorado Senate Today.
DEMOCRATS HOLD 4 CAUCUS
Decide to OppoHe the CanGrma..a. =.
the JudSeR Nomination by Gov.
Peabody ON Saturday.

Denver. Col, Jan. S.-An exciting
contest is'eXpected in the senate tomor-
row when the nomination for judges OF
the supreme court made yesterday by
Gov. Peabody come up for confirmation.
The Democrats held n caucus tonight
and declared they would fight the NOM
nations to the supreme bench Of Bailey
and Goddard with all their power.
Ihey claim, moreover, that with The
Republican Senators Campbell and De-
Long voting with them they will be
able to prevent the confirmation,
Ihe republican leaders declared this
afternoon that they had received per-
sonal pledges from enough fepubli-
can senators to ensure the confirmation
OF the two men. They were not over
confident OF the Issue. however, and ad-
mltted That there would be something
or struggle before confirmation.
1t Is Gov. Peahody's present inten-
ton to contest the election of Gov
elect Adams. Under the law he cannot
ipe notice OF contest before the fifth
Guy OF the session, which will be to-
morrow: lie has several days In which
to file his notice OF contest, however.
ana he may not do so until after the
inauguration Of Gov.-elect Adams.
The latter said today:
II do not know whether Gov. Peabody
VIII make contest or not. but l ex-
pect that he will. am in q much
better position for such Il proceeding
noY than was two days ago. At that
time the Investigation was confined lv
the court to the city and county OF
Denver. Now it includes the whole
State. and I feel confident that the
Democrats can show as many or more
fraudulent Republican votes In the out
lying counties that the Republicans
claim were cast by the Democrats in
Denver. / am certain Of the result II
the entire State Is brought into the
contest, as 1t must be If Gov. Peabody
decides on such course"

WORK BEFORE, CONGRESS
FOR THE PRESENT WEEK
The Joint Statehood bill VIII be tile
Principnl Topic for Discussion
I'm the Sennfc.


Washington. Jan. S-The Joint state
mood bill Will continue to be the princi-
pal topic Of discussion in the senate
curing the present week, but other
measures VIII receive attention each
DAY during the morning hour. includ-
ing the omnibus bill for which Sena-
tor Warren stands sponsor. The bill
comprises 200 pages, but the senator
already has put large and important
part OF the work Of consideration to
20 get through the bill providing Tor
the compensation Of American fisher
men whose vessels were seized previous
to the arbitration or 1898.
Inc pure food bill will remain In
the background for the present, as its
friends consider that It's chances viii
De improved by not pressing for inn
me Htate consideration. They have been
ass red by the Republican leaders that
the Dill shall have first place on the
bills, after the statehood Bill is dis
posed OF, and therefore they Will not
antagonize the statehood bill for the
present, II at all. Discussion Of the
statehood question will begin on Mon
day with speech by Senator Morgan,
and he Will be followed by opposing
senator's. The present plan Of the op-
position Is to keep the discussion 60
ing until some OF the appropriation
sais. oils are reported and it becomes neces-
postponed too long, to displace the bill
with the pure food bill. Failing In ali
these expedients, they probably will
seek compromise. The only real fight
IS against the uniting OF Arizona and
New Mexico. and there is talk of
eliminating those territories en..S1,y
from the statehood proposition. It is
believed if this We're done the bill for
the consolidation Of Oklahoma and In.
dian territory would pass Thus far
tnere mas been no conference Of on
posing factions 'on the subject ard
probably there will be little done to
Grange the present status so long as
matters IN the background, as appears

Believes That Victory Will
Yet Come to Russia.
PRAISES HIS SOLDIERS
Deplores That Port Arthur Has Fallen
Into Enemy's Hands, but Thinks
Valiant Defence Was
Made.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 14.--Czar Nieho-
has today issued an order to the army,
containing praise for the heroic defence
Of Port Arthur BY General stoessel. The
order reads:
Port Arthur has passed into the
hands Of the enemy after struggle
lasting eleven months, during seven Of
which the brave garrison was isolated
without hope Nevertheless they sus-
tanned the siege, amidst hardships, pri-
yations and moral tortures without
complaint, determined that the enemy
should gain nothing without paying
dearly.p
With handful Of meH we withheld
the encmy's attacks. MY brave sol
diers and sailors, let not this sorrow
discourage you. Our enemy as brave
and strong and it is extremely difficult
to sustain the struggle at a distance OF
10000 versts, but Russia is great and
powerful. During her national life OF
a thousand years, she has given hard
proofs Of her ability to overcome even
more serious dangers. She has with
stood them, and each time she has aris.
en- more powerful than ever, and full ol
renewed vigor.D
We are greatly grieved by the lack
of success and the painful losses, but LEI
US not abandon courage. 1t is in sor.
rowful times such ais these that the
power of Russia renews itself. / am
confident, as is every Russian, that the
hour Of victory is striking and God will
bless my dear army and feet in their
efforts to crush the enemy, and sustain
the honor and glory Of our fatnerland.'
