Colorado Contest Settled in

M'DONALD GETS 1T.
Present Lieutenant Governor to

Legal Governor Packs Up His
Things and Yacates.

Denver, March 17.-James H. Pea
body won his contest for the Office of
governor from which he retired on
January TO- after serving a term of
two years. but his victory was achiev-
ed only after he had given his pledge
to resign and surrender the chair to
Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald.
The vote in Joint convention of the
general assembly by which Governor
Alva Adams was ousted and Governor
James H. Peabody installed was SIS to
Al Ten Republicans voted with the
Democratic members for Adams. It
was more in the nature of a party
than a personal triumph for both
Peabody and Mcdonald are Republi-
cans and Adams is a Democrat. Al
though the Republican majority on
joint ballot is SO, the membership of
the legislature being SIS Republicans
and 81 Democrats, it had been found
impossible to gain for Peabody enough
Republican votes to reinstate him as
governor for the remainder of the BIZ
eunial term ending IN January, 1907.
Twenty-Five Republican members of
the general assembly according to re-
port refused to be bound by any ac-
ton in caucus on the contest and en-
tered into a compact not to vote for
Peabody. A majority of them, how
ever, were in favor of seating the lieu
tenant governor in the governors
chair il means could be found to do so
legally. Finally the leaders of the op-
posing Republican factions arranged a
compromise by which Peabody would
be indicated by being declared elect
ed and Mcdonald would be made
governor.
At the conference at which the bar
gain was made pledges were given to
the Independent Republicans by the
heads of four large corporations who
had been active supporters of Peabody
that he would retire after being seat
ed and permit the lieutenant governor
to take the Office of governor Cover

VICTORY WAS EXPENSIVE.
Japanese Regard Capture of N1ukden
as Their Master Stroke.

With the japanese Left Armies, Fri
day, March 10, via Yinkow and Tlen
Tsin, March 1.-THE japanese occupa-
ton of Mukden completes the serious
defeat of General Kuropatkin's armies.
1t is as yet impossible to say whether
the victory is decisive enough to end
the war, but the general belief prevail
ing in these armies is that it will hasten
the conclusion of peace. The Russian
losses have been very heavy. Although
the figures have not been reported it is
believed that they will reach nearly one
hundred thousand. The Japanese also
the Russians. The f1anking movement
of the left armies was entirely success
full in every detail.
The resistance of the Russians in the
villages northwest of the angle formed
by the railroad and the Hun river was
most determined to the very last and
many Of the Japanese attacks were I'M
successful. The villages were very
strongly defended, the Russians having
at some place the three lines of trenches
and several bitches, while they used
many machine guns. Hundreds of lives
were sacrificed in the attempts to cap
ture them.
Thousands of dead were left on the
field and this evening great fires are
burning in all directions where the ere
nations are going on.
The japanese take the long-lool1ed for
occupation of Mukden philosOphically.
They are, of course, delighted over the
successful outcome of the operations
but they have too much hard work
ahead to give them time for celebration.
The Russians in all directions fought
splendidly, making desperate stands
and holding their position until forced
out by the fanking movement.
The holding of the villages in the
angle against General Oku's army was
particularly valuable as it allowed the
main force along the Shakhe river time
to retire in good order. The destruction
of the railroad bridge across the Hun
river probably will interfere greatly
with the japanese use Of the railway to
bring up supplies. This is the first time
the Russians have attempted to destroy
the railroad.
The Japanese captured enormous
quantities of supplies and ammunition
at various places and it is believed the
retreating Russians succeeded in carry
ing off only a small quantity
A conservative estimate places the
forces actually engaged in the fighting
at 900 on each side and the total
number of men on both sides at more
than one million. The whole move
ment was so extensive and so quickly
carried out that details can not be OBJ
tanned. The surrounding of Mukden
was the best strategetical move accom-
plished by the japanese during the war
