MAY
BREAK FAITH
Gets Into Executive
Chair and May
Hold On
Manager Announces
He Will Not Keep
Agreement
Wins Contest Upon
His Promise to Re-
sign at Once

Denver, March Thames III. Pea
body yesterday won his contest for
the governorship, from which he re-
tired January 10 after serving term
of two years, but his victory was
achieved only after he had given nfs
pledge to resign and surrender the
chair to Lieutenant Governor MELON
aid.
The vote in the joint convention OF
the general assembly by which Cover
nor Adams was ousted and Peabody in
stalled was 81 to Al. Ten republicans
voted with the democratic members
for Adams.
1t was more in the nature OF a party
than a personal triumph, for both Pea
body and Mcdonald are republicans,
and Adams is a democrat. Although
the republican majority ON joint ballot
is 35, it had been found impossible to
gain for Peabody enough republican
votes to reinstate him as governor fol-
the remainder of the term ending Jan
uary, 1907. twenty-five republican
members, according to the report, re-
fused to be bound by any action in the
caucus on the contest, and entered into
a compact not to vote for Peabody. A
majority Of them, however, were in
favor of seating the lieutenant COVER
nor in the governors chair it means
could be found to do so legally.
Faction Leaders Compromise.
Finally, the leaders OF the opposing
republican factions arranged a com
promise by which Peabody would be
indicated by being declared elected
and Mcdonald be made governor.
At conference at which a bargain
was made pledges were given indepen.
dent republicans by the heads Of four
large corporations who bad been active
supporters of Peabody that he would re-
tire. after being seated and permit the
lieutenant governor to take the Office
of governor
Peabody's resignation, it is said, was
placed in the hands of w. S. Boynton,
and will be filed by him with the Secre-
tary of state today
Adams Feels Outraged.
Adams, who had spent the day pack
ing his effects, surrendered his Office
to Peabody shortly after in the after
noon. Scores Of letters, kilograms and
telephone messages had reached the
executive chamber during the day urg-
but he decided TO ignore this ADVICE.
In conversation he said he felt out
ragged at the action of the general as
sembly and expressed surprise that
Peabody should become a party to
what he termed a conspiracy to secure
the Office of the governor for a man
who had no claim whatever to, the
place. <4<.
Thanks the Legislature.
Governor Peabody was escorted be-
fore the joint assembly by commit
tee after the adoption of the report
and resolutions restoring him to the
Office of governor He was greeted
with cheers. The oath was admins,
tered by Chief Justice Gabbert. Coy
ernor Peabody thanked the members
of the legislature for having done
their duty" He said his election
would do away once and for all with
criminal elections and if this end was
attained great good would come to the
state.

SENATE MAY GET AROUND AD
So vERsE-MiNDED DEMOCRATS,
CAN ACT BY RESOLUTION
Plan Proposed, in Event of Failure OF
Ratification, to Pass Resolution to
Place Matter of Treaty Actions in
Hands of President-Approved at
White House.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Morgan occupied practically the en-
tire time in the discussion of the San
to Domingo treaty in the executive
session of the senate yesterday. he
made a sensational speech in which
he charged William Nelson Cromwell
of New York, who was prominently
connected with the sale of the Pana-
ma canal property to the United
States, as the prime mover in a
scheme to influence the United States
tn the financial affairs of the Domi-
nican government. He asserted that
Cromwell was actuated by the; desire
to illustrate the plan of Mr.. and Mrs.
Reader, natives of Alabama, who are
operating under the name of the
Reader syndicate, to get certain con
cessions from the Dominican govern
ment, and to promote the interests OF
the syndicate he represented, which
IL is alleged holds mass of claims
against the Latin-American republics,
including a large part of the debts
against the Dominican government. z
The alleged disclosures were debat-
ed all day and the senate is divided
as to whether or not Senator Morgan
made case. The democrats insist
he did, while the leaders among the
republicans declare that the charges
were made irp of a mass of matter
which contained no conclusive evil
dence that Cromwell has used any
undue influence. The speeches were
made behind closed doors.
Bound to Adjourn Saturday.
The tentative program of the senate
confines to be adjournment without
date on Saturday, without permitting
the Dominican treaty to come to a
vote. 1t is probable that it win be
recOmmftted.
New Plan Advanced.
Among the senate leaders yesterday
a new plan was advanced in regard
to Santo Domingo, but it deals with
the next session of congress. 1T has
been suggested that if the whole mat
ter is allowed to go over, a joint
resolution might be passed by con
gress to- authorize the president to do
the very things proposed by the
treaty. If this course was pursued a
majority vote is all that would be re,
CURED to place the entiro matter in
the hands of the president. 1t II I'M
derstood that the plan found favor
when it was suggested at the white
house by senator's who called there
yesterday.
Adjournment cannot be had until
tomorrow because of publication i'll
relation to the nominations for the
judgeships in Illinois, which cannot
be determined before that time. The
treaty discussion will go on for the
two days the session is expected to
continue and something more may be
expected on Senator Morgan's
charges. ~.

LAST STRONGHOLD IN
SOUTHERN MANCHURlA

st. Petersburg, March 17.-Wlth the
evacuation of Tie pass Wednesday
night the Russian army abandoned
the last stronghold in southern Man.
churia and definitely turned over the
section to the Japanese for the CAM
paign of 1905. AT least no other
strategy is possible for General Kuro-
patkin. in view of his scanty supplies
of ammunition and stores, the shat
tered condition of his army and the
wide enveloping movements which
the Japanese have continued almost
without stop since the Russian defeat
at Mul1den. Nothing has been heard
of the part which General Kawa-
mlma's army is taking in these oper-
atoms, but Generals Nogi and Oku,
operating in the low hills of Tie pass
gorge, were themselves sufficient to
turn the shattered Russian army out
of the Notifications which had been
prepared with a view to being held
by the army after it should have been
withdrawn from Mukden.
Japs Try for Finish Fight.
The Japanese evidently are doing
their utmost to accomplish the envel-
opment of the Russian army, which all
burt succeeded at Mukden, but Gener-
al Kuropatkin, with the railway for a
line of retreat, probably will be able
to keep ahead of his purSuers.
Military men here have but the
haziest ideas as to where the next
stand will be made. Apparently
there are no more fortified positions
in readiness, and the retirement prob
ably will not stop short of Kirin or
Kauchentzky, on the railway line, and
if the japanese press the pursuit the
Russians may retire beyond and UP
the Sungari river, there to await new
,levies, the mobilization of which will
begin Immediately in Russia.

ness is to think for the general pubic
and its welfare and to hold himself
free from all other influences. When
he develops ambitions and interests
of his own outside his profession he
loses his independence, or certainly
exposes himself to the suspicion OF
trying TO advance his own cause in
any position he may take. However
strong or honest he may be, the editor
with political bee in his bonnet must
be made timid by the fear of offending
strong political influences; and when
an editor is afraid to give offence his
value TO the public is gone. If the
Constitution permitted, we would be
glad to see law enacted forbidding
editors and editorial writer's from be-
ing candidates or applicants for any
public office, elective or appointive.
AS this is impossible, it would be we'll

tually made confidence in the extra
session may we'll be cautious.
There is growing doubt as to
whether Mr.. Roosevelt is as deter
mined TO secure effective rate regu-
lation as he was when the bill was
before the House. Then he was, to
use his own much abused word,
strenuous" Since then a well oiled
press bureau has been actively at
work trying to make sentiment that
would justify the Senate in emascu-
lating the bill and passing an act
through which the railroads can drive
a coach and four.
We choose to believe that the Presi :
dent will not be diverted from the
most important measure of his 2d-
ministration. The measure Will fa;l
in the Senate unless he stands be-
hind it as he presses matters in which
he is deeply concerned. There are
too many railroad agents and attor-
news and vassals in the Senate TO per-
nit the passage of any measure not
desired by the railroad magnates
unless the mighty power of the Chief
Executive is invoked to secure its
passage If there is no extra session
the opponents will find it easy to side
track without disclosing their hands.
