ANOTHER ADJOURNMENT
BY Joint Session on Governorshp
Contest.

Denver, March 16.-It is claimed this
morning by both morning papers, the
News and Republican, that an agree
ment was made yesterday between the
Peabody Republicans and the Repub-
licans who want Lieutenant Governor
Mcdonald for governor that Mr.. Pea
body's contest for the governorship
against Alva Adams. the present in
cumbent is to be decided to-day in
favor of Mr.. Peabody, and that he has
promised to resign within twenty-four
hours. turning over the office TO Nc
Donald.
When the joint session was called to
order yesterday morning every mem
ber responded to his name.
Representative Hurd sent a petition
TO the desk, stating that ii was from
the people of Pueblo.
Senator owen claimed that no men,
Der mad the right to put in a petition
at the time, but he might have it read
as part of his remarks.
Representative Hurd demanded as a
question of right that the petition be
read. He said it was right estab-
lished by the Congress of the United
States more than three-quarters of
century ago by John Quincy Adams.
Representative Cannon said the OBJ
lection was not intended to be discour-
teous TO Mr.. Hurd. 1t was made be-
cause the introduction of memorials
and petitions at the time might oper-
ate to hold the session together in
definitely. He would guarantee that
petition might be circulated in Den
Yer for either side and be signed by
half the people of the city.
Mr.. Hurd withdrew his petition for
the time, saying he would bring it in
again in the afternoon.
Senator Booth moved that a recess
be taken to $50 o'clock. There was
opposition at first, but it melted away
until the recess was taken by almost
unanimous consent.
At 2:30 p. m. the first assembly
met and Immediately adjourned until

OUR NATIONAL PASTRY.
Pie, the Great American Dessert, Espe-
cially in New England.

"Pie is consumed chiefly by the ma
dive Americans" said Clerk Fortune
Of Chicago, to the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Foreigners eat very little of it. A
German, for example, might eat three
pies year. while a good Yankee
would consume as many in a week.
The English, the Italians and the
French are small pie eaters. The Eng
lish eat plum pudding and the Italians
like fruit. New England and the Mid
ole. states constitutes the area of
greatest consumption, but the pie belt
extends far beyond that, as pie is ex-
tensively eaten all through the West
Pie is eaten much more generally in
the North than in the South Chicago
is a great pie center. st. Louis is not
so good. Milwaukee also ranks low.
One would not think that there are
means for ascertaining the facts in re-
gard to pie consumption, but 1 have
gathered statistics on the subject dur
ing the past two years which enables
me to compute with reasonable cor
rectness the consumption of pies in
every state in the Union. Pies are
made in greater varieties than for
merly, and the supplies are brought
from greater distances-ln fact, from
all parts of the world. The season of
pies made from green fruit have been
prolonged and pies are made of
canned fruit the year round. The
time-honored mince pie has become a
Christmas dessert whose place is sure
and beyond dispute. There is no ex-
port trade in pies, because in crossing
the ocean the crust would become
soggy. which, of course, is the reverse
Of the desired condition. 1t is fact
which would surprise many persons.

BRIEF REPORT VIA NEW cHWANG

Japanese Repulsed by General Mist

tics.
New Chwang. March 1G.-The Jap
anSse occupied Tie Pass Wednesday at
Midnight.
Santoupu, March 16.-A sanguinary
combat occurred March 14th on the
center advanced line of the Russian
army eight miles south of Tie Pass.
The Russians repulsed the attack and
even made a small advance through
1000 corpses of Japanese, advancing
large force on the right flank, where
General Mistohenko, who has taken
command of his detachment though
his wound is not yet healed, is holding
the Japanese Ia check. The troops
have regained their normal spirits and
fight cheerfully.
The office of censor has been re-
moved to Santoupou, eight miles north
of Tie Pass, as existence at Tie Pass
for civilians is almost impossible. Prac-
tically all the newspaper correspond
ents have left for Harbin. For several
nights the Associated Press cores
pondent has slept without covering on
the frosty ground and for two days he
had nothing to eat.
st. Petersburg, March 16. 2 a. M
Flanking tactics by the Japanese ap-
parently are in progress again, the AS
sociated Press correspondent who re-
manned at Tie Pass telegraphing that
General Mistchenko March 14th en-
gagged a Japanese force on the Rus
sian right. 1t is possible that the at
tacking force was Japanese column
which disappeared from observation
during the battle of Mukden.
The Japanese do not appear to have
renewed the frontal attack up to noon
yesterday, the demonstration Tuesday
having shown that the Russians were
prepared to make a determined resist
ance.
st. Petersburg, March 16.-It is now
definitely stated that Emperor Nicho-
las has approved the decision of the
Council of War to send Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholaievitch to replace
General Kuropatllin, as the best
means of putting stop to the in
trigues and jealousies among the gen.
erals of the army both at st. Peters
burg and at the front. General Sioux
homlinoff will be chief of staff.

of Mulden gave a banquet in honor of
the Japanese generals after their tri-
umphal entry into the city and Rus
sian journalist wires that with the oc-

1t is rumored that after the evacuation

Chicago. March 15.-Mr. Little ca
bled direct from Yinkow yesterday to
the Chicago News. He said he had
been captured by. the Japanese and
was being taken to Kobe. The cable
gram contained references which dem
Dnstrated that the message was from
Mr.. Little, personally, and that he was
alive and well. Yinliow is the seaport

Little would naturally be taken en-
