IN HONOR OF WoLCOTT
MANY EXPRESSIONS OF SORROW
Both Friends and Opponents Tell Of
His Remarkable Ability and
Achievements.

Washington, March 3.-News of the
death of former Senator Wolcott brings
forth general expressions of sorrow
from many public men at the capital.
a large number of senators with whom
he was associated during his service
In the Senate took occasion to speak
of his ability and of his wonderful
power of leadership when he chose to
exert it.
Few had known that he was in a
serious condition and the news of his
death in the prime of life caused uni
versal shock. Among the older sena-
tors two of Wolcott's greatest speeches
were recalled, one nominating Blaine
for president at Minneapolis in 1892,
the other at the National Republican
convention in 1900 when he assumed
the duties of chairman of the conven-
ton.
The opinion was generally expressed
that had death not interrupted Vol
colts career he would again have rep
resented Colorado in the Senate.
Senator Teller, in speaking of the
death of his former colleague. said:
Il have heard with the deepest re
greet the news of the death of Senator
Wolcott. While it was wholly unex-
pected to me, l knew he was not in
good health, but did not think the
trouble was serious, and in my last
conversation with him he himself
thought he would recover his usual
good health.
"The personal relations of Senator
Wolcott and myself were always pleas
ant. The fact that ] left the Republi-
can party and he remained did not
sever our friendship, and feel his
| death in a personal sense and regret
1t more than l can express in mere
words. He was a man of great abil-
I ity. natural born leader and one of
4 Colorado's strongest men. l have no
/ doubt that had he lived and a Repub-
| lican been sent to the Senate two years
from now, he would have been the
man.
Colorado suffers in mis- death for he
was one of its greatest characters"
Senator Patterson said:
THE death of ex-senator Wolcott
bushes all adverse criticism and calls
out acknowledgements of his great tai
ent and charming manners, which fall
spontaneously from the lips of all who
| knew him. He had the strength of a
! born leader. His wonderful power
! with men is shown in vivid light from
the fact that although he has been SO
little in Colorado for the past six or
eight years he held to the last thou
sands of devoted friends who followed
his fortunes in sunshine and storm and
through evil and good repute. The
| death of Senator Wolcott removes n
powerful element for good in Colorado,
! for he had been so thoroughly indie
pendent that he kept in close touch
with people and always had their re-
| spect and confidence"
Congressman Bonynge said: "He
was one of the strongest characters
and ablest men Colorado has produced
as United States senator. He gained
a reputation for craftsmanship and
| ability that reflected great credit upon
our state"

Sullivan Accuses Morgan

Denver, March Daniel N. Sulli-
van, postmaster at Cripple Creek, who
is accused by Senator Morgan of an
attempt at bribery, makes the follow
ing statement:
This man Morgan approached me
several days ago and told me in the
presence of witnesses that he was
anxious to vote for Governor Adams
because Peabody had failed to make
a case. I told him that had always
believed he was tied up with the Pea
body crowd, but he vehemently denied
it. He pleaded with me to take him
to Mr.. Herbert, and, although l
thought he was not honest with us, l
did it. Fortunately 1 was in the room
and heard him solicit the bribe and
heard Mr.. Herbert emphatically refuse
to listen to his proposition.
'Tf Mr.. Morgan got this money. as
he said, on March End, then why did
he wait until to-day before he made
his statement public? That is ques-
ton he will have to answer before
we are through with him, just as we
will force him to tell what he got for
bringing these charges"

Testimony Against Kansas.

Washington, March THE hearing
In the Kansas-Colorado suit was re-
Bumed yesterday morning before Com
missioner Richardson. Ex-Governor
Brodie of Arizona, Joseph L. b. Alex
hnder, an attorney Of Phoenix, Arizona,
and F. II. Newell. chief engineer OF the
reclamation service, were examined.
Ex-Governor Brodie testified that he
went to Arizona twenty years ago.
when 1t had but about 5000 inhabi-
tants. and at time when there was
very little development in the terri
tory; that during the last twenty years
over 315. 900 acres of land have been
irrigated and several hundred thousand
acres more could be added to the irri-
gated area; that It was necessary to
preserve the present development. and
to secure any future development in
the territory that all waters should be
used for irrigation purposes.
Mr.. Alexander corroborated the state
ments made by Governor Brodie.

Mrs. Stanford Was Poisoned.

San Francisco. March 3.-The re-
ceipt yesterday by Acting Chief of Pc
lice John Spillane of a cablegram from
High Sheriff Henry of Honolulu, stat
ing that there was no less than 662
grains of strychnine in the bottle of
bicarbonate of soda that Mrs. Jane L..
Stanford took a dose of shortly before
her death, has aroused the detective
force of this city, and every effort is
being made to discover who placed the
poison in the harmless medicine.
The police believe that the bicarbon-
ate of soda and the strychnine were
purchased here, and the poison
secretly dropped into the bottle by a
person connected with the Stanford
household.
The bottle containing the bicarbon-
ate of soda was originally purchased in
Australia. But, according to Miss Der.
tina Berner, Mrs. Stanford's private sec
rotary, and the maid, May Hunt, the
bottle was refilled in this city at 10
cal drug store.

COLORADO LEGISLATURE

The Stephen eight-hour bill was
passed on second reading in the SEN
ate March LIST without roll call The
minority reports of Senator Clayton
were voted down and the majority re-
port of the labor committee accepted
with but two votes cast against it,
those of Senators John Kennedy and
b. Jefferson. Senators Morgan and De
Long, Republicans. voted for the mi
nority reports, but changed their vote
on the final issue. Senator Ballinger
broke from his party and made
speech fayoring the majority report.
He denied that the Democrats were
enemies of the eight-hour measure, and
thought there was merit in the Stephen
bill.
The anomaly of securing all the re-
suits aimed at in the passage of bill
through its defeat will be presented in
the Senate when the finance committee
makes report on one of Senator Tay-
lor's educational measures. The bill
in question provides for an appropria-
ton out of which students attending
the state educational institutions shall
be reimbursed for their railroad fare
in cases where their homes are located
more than 100 miles from the school.
The object is two-fold: To give the
young men and women ON the western
slope better opportunities for an edu-
cation in Colorado, and to build up the
state educational institutions. At a
meeting of the Senate finance com
mittee yesterday afternoon the bill was
given the right of way in discussion.
No vote was taken, but the commit
tee reached a tacit conclusion to kill
the bill in question, but to accomplish
Senator In no
way. This was to include in the ap-
preparation for each institution an
amount sufficient for reimbursing the
railroad fare of all students who would
come under the provisions of Senator
Taylor's bill. The proposition met with
much favor at the hands of the com
mittee, and there is little doubt that
it will be received favorably by the
Senate. There is a strong feeling in
the House, also. that such a measure
should pass.-Denver News.
