existing. It fully deserved the gener- ous support 1t has received from Con- gress. Nearly two-thirds of the land armament recommended by the board has been installed or provided for. but since the date of the report so many conditions then existing have been ma- terially modified, and the engines or implements of war have been so great ly improved and others, untried or unknown, of undoubted value develop ed, giving a greater advanta&e to the defence. that 1t Is confidently believed our harbor defense can be completed effectively and satisfactorily with a much less expenditure of money than has been heretofore estimated. With this object in view, the board will rec- ommend the armament, fixed and fioat- ing. mobile torpedoes. submarine mines and all other defensive appliances that may be necessary to complete the har- Dor defence with the most economical and advantageous expenditure of money.
 ''The board will also recommend the order In which the proposed defence shall be completed. so that all the ele- ments of harbor defence may be prop erly co-ordained.'

DEMOCRATS THROWN OUT.
Colorado Senate Republicans Rule
 With High Hand.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 12.-The Senate today by a party vote seated James B. Dick in place of Senator Robert M Born. Dick was unsea ted by the Democratic majority during the con test over the election of United States Senator two years ago. Senator Born refused to give up his seat and was forcibly elected by the sergeant at arms.
 Senator Daniel Healv who was seat ed two years ago in place of Jessie F. Mcdonald, now lieutenant gover- nor was also expelled by a vote of IS to Is, the same as Born's' case
 Senator Horace T. DeLong. Repub- Ilcan, protested against the action as unconstitutional. The Democrats al- lege that a two-thirds vote is neces- sary to expel members and may apply to the Supreme Court for redress.
 In a statement on the floor of the Senate, Healy declared that an attempt had been made to bribe him. He said that on Saturday during the joint ses- sion he was called into private room and was told that if he would vote for the confirmation of Judge God dard he need have no fear of being unseated. The Senate membership Is now twenty Republicans and thirteen Democrats with three vacancies.

ZEIGLER RELIEF PLAN.
Steamer Purchased for Voyage to the
 Arctic Regions.

New York. Jan. l2. 2.-Referring to the announcement that William Zeig- Ter had purchased the Arctic, steamer Terra Nova from the British govern ment, William S. Champ. Secretary of the Ziegler polar expedition, said to- day:
 We tried to charter the Terra Nova. but were unable to do so. MT. Zeig- lers instructions were to secure her at any cost in order that the relief ex- petition which leaves Norway for Franzjosef Land next June might have the very best vessel in order to insure it's success. The expedition will be thoroughly equipped, prepared, If nec- essary to reach the members of the Ziegler polar expedition by sledge.
 We have not heard from Command CT Anthony Fiala since July, 1903. but there is every reason to believe that he and his men are safe in winter quarters in Franzjosef Land. The ex- petition was abundantly provided and there is plenty of game, such as polar bear, walrus and seal to be found du- ring the entire year around and about Franzjosef archipelago.
 T expect to sail for England within a few days formally to tako over the Terra Nova and complete other neces- sary arrangements for the relief ex- petition. The Ziegler provision de- pots laid down on the east coast of Greenland, on shannon Island and Bass Rock, will also be Sisited by a steam CT this summer chartered for that pur- pose, so that in the event of any mem bers of the Ziegler expedition return- ing along that coast they will be brought home"

PEABODY'S CONTEST
CHARGES CONSPIRACY IN DENVER a AND OTHER COUNTIES.
LesssIature Petitteaea, t0 Open the Bal- lot Boxes In Number of Coain-
 ties--Repubifcmn Pre-
 vented from Voting.

Denver, Col, Jan. 12.--Notifcation of former Governor Peabodv's contest against Alva Adams for the ofice of Governor was filed with the Legisla- ture today. The complaint sets forth the allegation that the majority of 9.774 for Adams on the face of the re- turns as finally canvassed. was ob- tained by means of a conspiracy in Denver and several other counties.
 The Legislature is petitioned to open the ballot boxes from a number of pre- cincts. It Is alleged the frauds in some precincts were so extensive and varied that 1t would be impossible to segregate the true from the false ball. lots. It is charged that a list of 10000 fraudulent names were used in Denver on election day and that the registra- ton books contained at least 15,000 false, fraudulent and mythical names. It Is further set forth that 10000 votes were cast by repeaters in this city.
 Charges of ballot box stufing, sub stitutIon of prepared ballots for those cast by voters and miscounting by election judges are also included in the specifications of fraud. Another charge is that in order to defeat Governor Peabody ballots already marked with a cross for Adams were handed by the election officers to voters who were known to be Republicans. Peabody asks to have ninety-five Denver pre- cincts thrown out and claims that the vote of this county should show $500 plurality for him instead of 1908 for Adams as canvassed.
 The accusation Is made that in Pue- bio 1900 aliens were voted for Adams in nine precincts and that 500 Repub- lican voters were prevented from cast ing their ballots through the acts of watchers appointed by the district judges.

LEAN BILL LOOKED FOR
RIVER AND HARBOR MEASURE OF
 S4O,OOO,OO0
Chairman Burton and COngreasmaD Bankhead win Have Conference With Morgan and Pettus Re-
 EardIng Alabama Projects.

Washington, Jan. 12.-(Special)- The Rivers and Harbors Committee members are rather reticent about what they are doing except to say that they are making progress. It Is learned that so far the Committee has about finished with the Lakes and Ohio River and have yet to pass finally up- on the Mississippi River and Southern projects. The Mississippi is a separ- ate proposition and as it represents vaster interests than almost all the others combined, 1t always commands greater attention.
 The consensus og opinion now is that 1t will be a lean bill that is to come from the Committee, but still g. bill. It will probably carry an ap- propriation of s45,000000 which would be $25, ,O00,O 900 less than the last rivers and harbors appropriation.
 Representative Bankhead expects to have Senators Morgan and Pettus at an early conference with Chairman Burton to consider with them the sev- eral Alabama projects existing and proposed.

He VIII Be Given Fitting Reception on
 Arrival in st. Petersburg.
 St. Petersburg, Jan. 12.-The War Ofice explains that the reason for Gen eral Stoessel giving parole and return ing to Russia instead of remaining at the head of the heroic troops who form ed the garrison of Port Arthur and sharing their fate as a prisoner of war In Japan, is that 1t is incumbent upon him to bring a detailed report of the defense Of the fortress to the Emperor. Rear Admiral Dochinsky, who is senior naval officer will bring the naval re- port.
 The arrangements for General Sto- essefs return home are not completed. There Is a suggestion that he may re- turn by way of Marseilles where he will receive a gold sword which will be conferred on him by the French and thence to Berlin where he will re- ceive the order of Pour Le Merite. be- slowed upon him by Emperor William.
 This, however, Is not believed at the War Ofice, where 1t is said the Gen eral will undoubtedly go straight to St. Petersburg. his first duty being to report to the Emperor. As soon as his route through Russia is determined upon, preparations will be made 10 give him a fitting reception.

 National Church.


 National Church.
 London, Jan. 12.-There has been giv- en out a letter written by the Arch bishop of Canterbury to a correspond ent who called his attention to the arr ticle in a recent number of The New York Churchman. It appears that The Churchman held that the primate in a recent letter advocated the establish ment of a branch of religion as the National Church of America. The Archbishop of Canterbury emphatically denies that he had any intention of conveying such an idea, and says: Nothing could have been further from my thoughts or wishes. The whole circumstances of the history and character of the Constitution of the United States renders such a notion en- tirely out of the question"
 Continuing, the Archbishop points out that the National Church of Eng land is an absolute necessity as a part of her existence; such a fact, he says, Is possible in the old country, but im- possible in America.
