Hoch Will Feign Insanity.
From previous experiences Inspector
Shippy declares that he believes the
alleged bigamist will, as is usually the
case when he has been placed on trial,
profess insanity. His actions on the
train en- route to Chicago made it ap-
pear that possibly this might be his
scheme when brought to account. His
rambling talk, and repeated declara-
ton that he was IAN educated man and
a gentleman" give the authorities the
belief that this is to be the defense Of
Johann Hoch. And judging by what
old men on the police force who have
seen Hoch say the man is no mere
novice at the insanity gag" and they
declare that even the insane officials
who have to deal with such cases Of
shamming almost every day, were
fooled at previous appearance before
law court in Chicago. 81 rather ex-
pect Hoch will sham insanity" said
Inspector Shippy. when caught and

Washington, Feb. 15.-[Special.l -
Congress has not yet given very much
attention 20 legislation for the isthmlan
canal. and there is an impression that
il can be rushed through almost any
time. but this is quite doubtful. To
reduce the present canal commission,
which is the most popular idea just
now, would meet with considerable OPP
position from those whose friends are
well placed on the commission. Men
who are drawing $4,000 a year, with
extras, and expenses while they are on
the isthmus do not want TO let go, and
nearly every commissioner has friends
in congress who are willing to fight for
him. In the end congress will simply
pass Il bill which will continue all au-

When the Tension Was Strained.

Once i'm awhile the tension in the sen
ate becomes somewhat strained be-
tween the two sides. This was illus
trated not long ago upon a close vote.
A pair was arranged between Senators
Morgan and Hopkins. but Senator Platt
of New York also went home and Hop
kins transferred the pair to Plat and
voted. Senator German called Hop
kins' attention to Morgan's absence.
Il have transferred the pair" said
Hopkins.
1--WE understood on this side that 1t
was a specific pair and not to be trans
ferred," persisted German.
IL take the responsibility of doing
what l have DONE" said Hopkins curt
ly.
Il recognize the senator's right to do
So" haughtily replied German, which
ended the discussion.
In a little while, however, Morgan
was brought back to the senate and
voted. Plat did not get there, and his
absence resulted in the senate max
ing. so far as it could, a separate state
of New Mexico.

The Days of '76.

1t has been many years since there
count in congress, not since the cele-
brated Hayes-Tilden election of 1876,
when an electoral commission was nee
essary in the winter of 1877 to deter
mine who should be sworn in as pres
ident. There are not many men in
congress now who were then in con-
gress and saw that struggle. In the
senate there are Senators Allison Qa),
Teller (COlo.), Cockrell (Nlo.) and Mitch
ell (Ore0, who were in the senate
then. and in the house only Speaker
Cannon. There are now i'm the senate

of the house: Blackburn Wy), Frye
and Hale CIe). Money (AIissD. Platt

ginia then delegate from New Mexico.
Bailey and Beveridge.
If the statehood bill did nothing else
it afforded an opportunity for two SEN
ators between whom there had been
serious difficulty an opportunity to for
get what had passed and get upon a
footing where they could be on speak
ing terms. 1t has been more than two
years now since Senators Bailey of
Texas and Reveridge of Indiana had a
personal encounter, growing out of a
heated debate on the floor of the SEN
ate. Until the statehood debate they
had not spoken; but, as both were very
much interested i'm the bill, they seem
ed to agree without any formal under
standing 20 discuss features of the
measure together and apparently to
slide into relations less strained than
have existed

1t is the duty of the presiding officer
of the senate to preside over the joint
convention Of the senate and house
when the electoral vote Is counted.
Four years from now Senator Fair
banks will be that presiding officer. 1t
might not be so strange after all IL it
should happen that it would be his
own election as president that he would
have to declare. In all probability,
however, he would be absent, as he
was last week, and allow the president

PEABODY TO CONTEST
ELECTION OF ADAMS.
An Exciting Fight Expected in
Colorado Senate Today.
DEMOCRATS H0LD 4 CAUCUS
Decide to Oppose the Confirmation of
the Judges Nomination by GOV.
Peabody on Saturday.

Denver, COL. Jan. 8.-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 a caucus tonight
and declared they would fight the NOM
nations to the supreme bench Of Bailey
and Goddard with all their power.
They claim, moreover, that with the
Republican Senators Campbell aid De-
Long voting with them they will be
able to prevent the confirmation.
The Republican leaders declared this
afternoon that they had received per-
sonal pledges from enough Republi-
can senators to ensure the confirmation
of the two men. They were not over
confident Of the issue, however, and ad-
mitted that there would be something
Of q struggle before confirmation.
It is Gov. Peabody's present inten-
ton to contest the election of Gov
elect Adams. Under the law he cannot
file notice of contest before the fifth
day Of the session, which will be to-
morrow. He has several days in which
to file his notice Of contest, however,
and he may not do SO until after the
inaugura ton of Gov.-elect Adams.
The latter said today:
II do not know whether Gov. Peabody
will make q contest or not. but I ex-
pect that he will. I am in much
better position for such proceeding
now than I was two days ago. At that
time the investigation was confined by
the court to the city and county Of
Denver. Now it includes the whole
State, and 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. l am certain of the result if
the entire State is brought into the
contest, as it must be if Gov. Peabody
decides on such a course

RETURNED NAMES OF DOGS.
In Returning Dogs for Taxation q Lis
of Their Names Was Made.

Special to The State.
Pickens, Jan. S.-Auditor Keith has
received instructions to return all dogs
for capitation tax. Last year as soon
as the bill was passed (; number of the
trustees of school districts made a list
of the dogs in their respective dis
tricts. Mr.. Keith has in his possess
sion an altogether unique return from
one district. The trustees were under
the impression that the name Of every
dog must be specified, SO they thor
oughly canvassed their district and
sent the county auditor a poll list as
long as 4 mans az arm containing such
