Denver, Colo, Mar. 8.-After a ses
sion of one hour today the joint con-
vention of the assembly considering
the Peabody-Adams contest took a re-
cess until tomorrow morning. From
the vote taken on parliamentary ques-
ticns this morning it is evident that
none of the reports submitted by the
contest committee have a majority.
After motion was made to consider
the Republican and Democratic re-
ports, similar motion was made in
regard to the Alexander report favor
ing the seating of Lieutenant Cover
nor Jesse Mcdonald. The point of
order was raised that this report was
out of order, as only two people were
parties to the contest before the joint
convention The Lieutenant Governor
sitting as chairman, sustained the
point of order, but an appeal was ia
ken from the ruling and the ruling
was defeated by a vote Of AZ to 52
with three absentees. This is regard
ed as showing the strength of the
that Alexander has the support of
% members in his report. There are
81 Democrats. This would show the
full strength of Peabody to be A
The anti-Peabodyites are confident
that if they can have the majority re-
port considered first it can be easily
defeated. In that case there would
be a deadlock, and Adams would re-
tain his seat, unless enough Repub
licans came over to the Alexander
report to carry it. On the other hand
if the other reports are considered
first, they will be defeated and the
Peabodyites hope they can secure en-
ough votes from the Alexander peo-
pie to seat Peabody. as they claim
all the Republicans would rather seat
Peabody than to allow Adams to win
by default.

New York, Mar. S.-The seizure
of the subway by the city will be the
remedy which President Alexander
E. Orr declares the Rapid Transit
Commissioners will apply if the strike
tie-up should continue long. The pres
ident of the commission says they
have adequate power to deal with the
matter, and that this power will be
used unless adequate service is Civ
en- within a reasonable time" What
reasonable time is in the face OF
strike may be. variously interpreted.
The second day of the strike began
with little change. Trains are run
ming in the subway and there is some
improvement in the elevated. The
principal trouble faced by the com
pany was the desertion of many of
the strike breakers on the Third Ave
nue. line.
The officials of the Amalgamated
Association of Electric and Street
Railway Employees. and the local Of
ficialS of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers have sent letter 10
Mayor Mcclellan in response to his
suggestion. stating that they are will
ing to consider any proposition that
may bring about an amicable adjust
ment Of the strike. The Mayors sug-
gestion to both the Interborough Com
pany and the strikers was that the
adjustment of the trouble be trusted
to him personally or to a committee
of disinterested citizens.

terborough Rapid Transit Company.

nounced that letter had been sent

the elimination of a sentiment in op-

St. Petersburg, Mar. S.-Tokio dis
patches announcing that General Ku-
roki is making progress and has al
ready approached a point IA miles
south of Fushun yesterday, showing
that Lieutenant General Linevitch,
commanding the first Manchurian ar
my. is again giving away, is the lat
est and worst word which has reach
ed ST. Petersburg regarding the stu
alton at the front.
The Associated Press is now in po-
sition to positively deny the current
rumors that General Kuropatkin's s
line of communication has been cut.
This afternoon cipher dispatches to
the emperor from Kuropatkin contain
ing a report of the days operations
have arrived. The contents are un-
known, except that at nightfall Ku-
ropatkin still held Mukden. The As
ISOLATED Press hears from a high
source that the position of the Rus
sian left is critical General Kuroki
has succeeded in driving a wedge be-
tween General Linevitch's main ar
nv and General Rennenkampff' s
force which is on the extreme left.
The latter is reported to be in great
danger of being cut off or surrounded.
Late this afternoon the general
staff declined to give details. but In
sists that the rumors of disaster to
General Kuropatkin are false, declar-
ing that the issue is not yet decided.
Neither do the officials confirm the
report that General Rennenkampff is
in imminent danger of being suIroun-
ded. On the contrary they profess sat
isfaction at the situation. According
to private information the fighting
today along the whole front was
much less severe, and at some points
complete calm prevailed.
The dispatch to the Associated
Press from it's correspondent with the
army OF General Kuroh announcing
the withdrawal of the Russians from
their positions on the Shahke river
and that the Russians w@re in full
retreat was the first definite news
received here that the battle was END
ed and that Kuropatkin was making
his way northward. 1t does not come
unexpectedly.
