DENVER, March 13-The Colo

this afternoon ruled that the joint
convention of the Legislature cannot
adopt the report of Senator Alexander

in effect was to work for the seating
of Mcdonald and to prevent. If pos

statement also say that these So

blown itself out by yesterday morning
but had left in its trail along the coast
a nasty sea and all day long the bar
was covered with breakers, which
warned the mariner to keep away or
look out for trouble. The Golden Gate
was used only by those vessels whose
business was too urgent to wait for
the bar to settle down
Some anxiety was felt during the
early part of the day for the coasters
Eureka and Arctic, both from Eureka
and both overdue Before sunset, how
ever, both were accounted for. The
Eureka came in about o'clock and
the Arctic just about dark
They were both twenty-four hours
late. Captain Jessen of the Eureka
said that the wind blew with great
velocity, but that his boat weathered
the gale without any distress except
to the passengers, who were too sick
to care whether the big seas which
slapped the Eurekas bows did any
damage or not
They were like the man in the an
cient ocean joke" said Captain Jes-
sen. When we first bucked into it
they were afraid the ship would sink
After the seasickness developed they
were afraid il wouldn't"
The Eureka's passengers speak in
awed whispers of their experience
They declare that the Eureka was
fathoms under the water for long
spells and that at other times the
waves sent her flying through the air
like a wireless telegram She threw
summersaults, they say, she wallowed
on her beam ends, she balanced her
self on the extreme tip of her bow and
occasionally for brief spells she rested
ON the water. right side up. The wind,
they think. blew 1000. 900 miles an hour.

The Pomona should have arrived
yesterday from Eureka, but did not
put in an appearance. 1t is probable
that she did not leave the northern
port on time, but as the telegraph
wires were out of commission there
was no way of telling. The Pacific
Coast Steamship Company officials are
not worrying about her.
