Four of the five republican member of
the house committee on election reported

resentatives from Arapahoe county, and
one other Arapahoe member, all democrats.
All had majorities on the face of the
returns ranging from 2.00 to 4,000, but
the republican claim that these were
fraudulently obtained. One republican
member of the committee favored unseat
ing all of the fifteen Arapahoe represent
ative. The four democratic members of the com
mittee prcscnicd a minority report agalnat
unseating any members, claiming that 600
would bo a liberal allowance for the fraud

tention of the republican member of the

the electlona committee to unseat the fif
teen Arapahoo and two Lo Animus county
democrats, was defeated by a vote of 44 to
21. It received the votes of the seventeen
republican members who are supporting
Edward O. Wolcott for senator and several
others. '
By a vote of 33 to 31 S. V. Belford. one
of the Arapahoe democrats, was declared
entitled to hi seat. Two republicans
voted with the democrat and ono repub
lican refrained front voting.
The vote of tho house was taken In
rapid succession upon the other ten con

Then a move to compromise matter was
tarted and a conference committee ap

consider a proposition of the democrats to
all off all contests providing the repub
licans would agree to ballot only formally
upon the election of a United States sena

lowing the seat to remain vacant for two
years, or until the next meeting of the

About fifty deputy rherlffa are stationed

to be adherents of the democrats. It waa

ad telephoned Governor Peabody for

Although both the dmocrati and repub

During consideration of the diplomatic

and led to aome serious charges against
consular representatives In Mexico by Mr.
Slayden (Tex.) Mr. McClellan aubmitted
figures to show the consulates, compared
with thoje of other first class countries,
were underpaid, but overmanned. Mr.

justifiable, maintaining that It was the
opinion of European publicist that Amer

In the world.
This was committee suspension day In

A bill to revoke the entence of court

While the house waa dividing upon tho
demand for a second, a photographer In
the public gallery took a flashlight photo
graph. The glare of the flash startled
aome of the members and Mr. Sulzer (N.
Y.) cried out: "Mr. Speaker. I thought it
was a bomb."
Mr. Lawrence (Maes.), In support of the
bill for tho relief of Lieutenant Davidson, the probability of an Increase In the vol

A senate bill was passed to appropriate

CUBAN TREATY CONSIDERED
Senate Goes Into Executive Session
for Pnrpose of Considering;
the DoFimril.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. Mr. Bailey
(Tex.) objected to contlderatlon by unani
mous consent of all bills from the repub
lican aide on the ground that the aenatora
from New York bad Interfered with a
matter purely local to the state of Texaa.
A discussion arose which waa terminated
by Mr. Cullom moving an executive aelou
to consider th Cuban reciprocity treaty.
After half an hour In executive session tb
door were reopened and Mr. Foraker (O.)
continued hi remark favoring statehood
for Oklahoma, Arlsona and New Mexico.
Th aenate at 6 10 adjourned until to
morrow.
Mr. Cullom reported the executive, legis
lative and Judicial appropriation bill, and
gav nolle that he would call It up to
morrow.
Senator Lodge today Introduced a reso- I
lutlon directing th committee on finance
to inquire whether certain countlea are
discriminating against tb Vnlied Statea,
and If o what law ahould be passed to
glv to countries preferential dutie which
do not discriminate agalnat thla country.
The resolution refera to the discrimina
tion of France, Germany and Russia against
the t'nlted States. It went to the table In
order to give Senator Aldrlch an opportun
ity to mak a atatement concerning the
subject.
A bill was passed ot provide fcr holding
term of court at Helena, Ark.
Mr. Bailey (Tevai) objected to tba coa
ideratlon of all billa by unanimous consent.
When a bill reported by Mr. Culberson
changing the times for holding court In
Virginia vu read Mr. Lodge (Mass.) ob- j
Jected, saying that as objection seemed j
to be conlined to the bills from the repub-
Ilcan side, ho would object, which brought j
from Mr. Bailey the etatemrnt that the i
aenatora from the New York had Inter-
fered In a matter pertaining to the state i
of Texas which was a purely local one
Mr. Depen
Port Arthur
dented that the making of
port of entry was a local
Question.
The department of commerce and labor
bill, as amended by the house, waa re
ferred to the committee on commerce. Mr.
Nelson wanted the bill eent to conference
at once, but Messrs. Spooner. Aldrlch, Hale
and others objected to that course, as It
would prevent an opportunity to amend
the house amendments.
At 1:35 p. m. the senate, on motion, of
Mr. Cullom (III ), went Into executive ses
sion to consider the Cuban treaty. The
doors were reopened at 2 o'clock and Mr.
Foraker 'esumed his remarks In favor of
the omnibus statehood bill.
At 4 the executive Besslon was resumed
and at 5 20 the senate adjourned.
At the first executive session the treaty
was read at length and at the second
Senator Cullom (III.) who, as chairman of
the senate committee on foreign relations,
has charge of tho treaty, made a statement
of Ita purport and effect. Senator Bacon
(Ga.), also a member of the foreign rela
tion committee, gave notice that he would
offer aome amendment and asked tho prlv.
Ilege of making them public, following
the example of the senate In making the
treaty Itself public. Thla request was de
nied after considerable discussion on the
ground that it would be Impolitic and un
wise. Senator Cullom'a statement waa exhaus
tive. He produced a mass of figure to
show the commerce between the two coun
tries and gave reasons for the belief that
ratification would cause a rapid Increase in
that trade.
On the basis of the commerce of 1901
the ratification would cause a reduction of
about t5.000.000 on the duty paid on Cuban
Imports and a reduction of about half thai
amount on American articles shipped to
Cuba. He contended that the United State
would secure an advantage In continuing
the present free list, as under that ar
rangement there were about $3,000,000 worth
of American goods admitted Into Cuba free
of duty, while only about $2,000,000 worth
of Cuban goods come Into tho United
States free.
8enator Cullom dwelt at aome length on
treaty, saying that that would be tho re.
suit not alone of reduced tariffs, but of
the mutual good feeling following ratlflca-
tion. lie did not believe any American
Industry would be Injured by the treaty,
but considered the agreement from all
standpoints one of mutual benefit.

menta of which he had given notice. It

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. The Navy de
partment Ij advised of the arrival at
Charleston of Dolphin and of the landing
of Mr. Bowen and his family. The min
ister should reach Washington tomorrow.
It la expected that the representatives of
Great Britain and Italy do not feel It In
cumbent on Uem to await the coming of
Baron Speck von Sternberg before begin
ning their conferei.c a.
Nelthe London nor Rome are Inclined to
favor settlement of their claims by a joint
commission, the point being that they are
not Intereated In the claims of each other
or of Germany. The plan outlined and
which will be submitted to Mr. Bowen con
templates the adjustment of the claims of
each power by Its representative with Mr.
Bowen, each nation taking up Its claim
separately, but along the same broad llnea
of procedure.
Private Claim Tome First.
It hae been agreed that the claims of
private citizens for injuries suffered In
Venezuela shall be the first to be adjusted.
These claims In the case of Germany are
believed to aggregate nearly $."0O,0O0. while
those of Great Britain are between $200,000
and $300,000. The powers will Insist upon
an early sett'ement of these obligations,
and so far as Great Britain and Italy are
concerned, they are prepared to accept a
reasonable guaranty for prompt payment.
All hope that the United Statea intended
standing surety for these obligations haa
been dismissed, but an effort will be made
to secure thetn either on tin customs col
lections of Venezuela or the proceeds of a
Venezuelan loan. A cash payment will be
demanded, bo far as Great Britain and
Italy are concerned, provided a satisfactory
guaranty la offered by President Castro.
The method of procedure In settling the
claims will not be decided until Mr. Bowen
arrives, as the reprraentatlve havt been
Instructed that tho first move along this
line ia to come from Venezuela.
Mr. Bowen whllo here will act solely a
Venezuela's representative. The State de
partment haa made It plain that the United
Statea docj not Intend to take a hand in
tho Washington conference, but merely act
as means of communication.
Tho allied powers have not committed
themselves aa yet regarding the raising of
the blockade. No request has been made,
and as one diplomat put It today, "We do
not intend to cross that bridge until we
come to It." but Intimations have reached
Washington that Italy and Great Britain
are not Inclined to favor a continuation of
the blockade after the opening of negotia
tions, and that Germany will be requested
to give Its consent, providing Mr. Bowen
makes such a request. Should Germany
refuse, the other power. It wa stated
today, will not postpone favorable consld
eratlon of Mr. Bowen's request, but will
withdraw their ships.

BERLIN, Jan. 19. The Navy department
haa not received any official advices regard
lug the bombardment of Fort San Carlos, at
the entrance to Lake Maracalbo. by the
German crul.er Panther, on Saturday, and
I unable to either confirm or deny the
press dispatches.
The official say, however, resuming that
Bomethlng in tho way of a bombardment
took place, no orders on the subject were
sent from Berlin. Whatever wa done waa
tho result of the Initiative of tho com
mander on the spot, to whose discretion the
conduct of the blockade was left.
The government relies on Commodore
Schneider to observe all the formalities
