WILL MAKE EFFORT

REPUBLICANS NEXT MOVE IN
COLORADO LEGISLATURE
Attempt Will Be Made to Remove Born
and Healy, Who Were Arbitra-
riy Seated by the
Democrats
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
DENVER, Jan. 4.-No action was
taken by the legislature today looking
toward settlement of the guberna-
torial contest, and it is not likely that
anything in this direction will be un-
dertaken at the first session tomorrow.
The house progressed rapidly with
its work, effected its permanent or
ganization by electing William H.Dick-
son as speaker and just prior to an
hours recess, taken at 2 O'Clock, sent
word to the senate that it was pre-
spsfeu % Enter ineo joiiE session for
thespurpose of hearing the governors
message and canvassing the vote. The
senate, however, made no such pro-
gress as the house and when it ad-
journed at $3.50 was rot prepared to
enter upon a joint session. Its trou-
bles came through the report Of the
credentials committee, which declared
that all members were entitled to their
seats except Senator's Born and Healey,
who were arbitrarily seated by the
Democrats two years ago.
Lieutenant Governor Haggott, who
presided over the senate, declined to
receive the report, saying that while
in his opinion they had been Illegally
seated, still they had been seated, and
it would require something stronger
than the report of the committee ON
credentials to deprive them Of their
seats. A long debate followed, recess
was taken and the senate adjourned
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
When the senate meets tomorrow
an attempt will be made to oust the
two senators. 1t requires a two-thirds
vote to deprive a member of his seat,
and the Republicans have but nine
teen senators against fifteen Demo-
Gratis. The plan most in favor tonight
is to reconsider the vote by which they
were seated two years ago. Lieuten-
ant Governor Haggott declared that
motion to reconsider could be made
only by some member of the senate
who two years ago voted in the affirm
ative on the question of seating Sena-
tors Born and Healey. There is but
one member who is in a position to
make this motion. He is Senator Cas-
shnar Barela of Las Animas. who two
years ago voted with the Democrats.
but who has this session been asso-
ciated with the Republicans.

Early Conclusion of War

Early Conclusion of War
By Associated Press.
TOXIC, Jan. 4.-The weight of opin-
ion in Japanese official circles seems to
be against belief in the early conclus-
ion of peace, and doubt is expressed
that the fall of Port Arthur will ma
terially affect the situation.
One of several officials who discussed
the question today voiced the senti-
ment of the majority when he said:
1--WE are confronting situation
which continues to be purely mill
tary The present problem is created
by General Kuropatkins army and by
the Russian second Pacific squadron.
We are devoting all attention to them.
1--WE anticipate that the Russians
will renew more determinedly than
ever their effort to drive Field Marshal
Oyama back, and that they will strive
to gain supremacy at sea. We are pre-
pairing to defeat both these objects.
This situation makes talk of peace fu.

DRIVEN TO INSANITY BY
EXCITEMENT AT RACES
Follower of Ascot Sport Committed to
Asylum in Hopeless Condi-
ton of Mind

Driven to insanity by excitement ex-
perienced at the races, Raynor Roe
was yesterday committed to the asy-
lum at Patton, in an almost hopeless
condition of mind and body.
He has been suffering from epilepsy
for a number OF years, but the ex-
citement under which he labored while
attending the races at Ascot park is
said to be responsible for his present
plight.
He was taken into court yesterday
in a wheeling chair, and was appar-
emily in a deep stupor, which grad
ually wore away.
He became partially sane at the
close of his examination and the part
ing with his relatives was touching.

young and ascetic Brahmins, with
whom she discourses or tells her beads.

her part is in itself utterly revolu-
tionary, for hitherto the Brahmin be-
lleved that his caste was the last and
most perfect state in which a soul ex-
listed before it entered the Brahmin
heaven. Mrs. Besant apparently signi-
fies that she has passed this stage of
perfection, and has been evolved as a
European lady.
The great mahatmas have risen up
in arms. They have denounced this
fascinating and subtle woman, who is
so dangerous to the Hindu mind. She
claims that Theosophy is the oldest re-
ligion in the world, even preceding that
Of the Vedas, which existed for thou
sands of years before Christ. Mrs. Be-
SAINT s critics reply to this that she can
read neither Sanskrit nor Hindu, so
that her judgment is false. Undoubted-
ly a great mental strife will take place,
but whether Mrs. Besant will win or
whether the mahatmas will succeed in
reducing her Influence is a matter far
too mysterious and complicated for a
European to attempt to solve. Mrs.

which she became Identified with the
