BALLOT IN BOTH SENATES
Teller Gets All Democratic
Votes and Leads.
WOLCOTT A BAD SECOND TO HIM
Democratic Candidate Lacks One of
Enough to Elect If Democratic
Senate Is Recognized To
day He May Win.
DENVER, Col., Jan. 20. Both Houses
of the General Assembly balloted for
United States Senator at noon today and
Henry M. Teller received 50 votes, only
one less than Is needed to elect. Senator
McGuIre, a Democrat, refrained from vot
ing, but he subsequently said that he
would vote for Teller if it should appear
that he could be elected. Only two Re
publican Senators were in the Senate
chamber when the vote for Senator was
taken, and they did not respond when
their names were called.
Soon afterwards the nine regular Re
publican Senators, the two who were ex
pelled by the Democratic majority and
the eight contestants who had been sworn
In on the steps of the capital last night,
assembled in the Lieutenant-Governor's
room and formed a separate organiza
tion. Senator M. Z. Farwell was elected
president pro tern; C. E. Hogan, secre
tary, and Thomas MeMahon, sergeant-at-arms,
the Senate officers previously
chosen being ordered removed. A ballot
was then taken for Senator. A resolu
tion was adopted notifying the Governor
that the Senate had re-organized and was
ready for business. Subsequently two
of the regularly elected Republican Sen
ators, Drake of Larimer County and
Cornforth of El Paso, left the Haggott
Senate and returned to the Senate cham
ber, where they announced that they
would act with the "regular Senate"
and would no longer participate In "a
Under the Constitution, Lieutenant
Governor Haggott is the presiding of
ficer of the joint session which is to meet
at noon tomorrow to vote for Senator. He
will Insist that the body over which he
presided today was the regular Senate
and that its vote for Senator should be
accepted. The Speaker of the House will
then be called upon to decide which Sen
ate shall be recognized as regular. Com
parison of the journals will show that no
one has been elected Senator. It will then
be necessary for the joint session to pro
ceed with balloting until a Senator Is
chosen.
If the Democratic Senate Is recognized
and the House remains with its present
membership, as seem3 HkeJy, Senator
Teller may be re-elected. On the con
trary. If the Republican Senate is rec
ognized, there Is likely to be no election
and the balloting will continue Indefi
nitely. In the Democratic Senate all the votes
cast, 25 in number, were for Teller. In
the Republican Sena'te the vote was as
follows: Edward O. Walcott, 9; Frank
C. Goudy, 4; Irving Howbert, 2; John W.
Springer, 1; Jesse Northcott. 1; N. W.
Dixon, 2. The vote in the House was:
Henry M. Teller (Dem.). 25; Edward O.
TVoicott (Rep.). 18; Frank C. Goudy
(Rep.). 13; Irving Howbert (Rep.), 6; N.
W. Dixon (Rep.). 3.
Edward O. Wolcott, the leading Repub
lican candidate for Senator, and his fol
lowers are urging the Governor to call
out the militia to place Haggott and the
Republicans in' possession of the Senate
chamber. Governor Peabody said today
that he would not interfere. His friends
are advising him to keep hands off and
they point out that If he recognizes the
Haggott senate no legislation can be en
acted at this session, and the state gov
ernment must go without funds for two
years, as appropriation bills could not be
legally enacted.
Officers of the militia and a number of
men were held In readiness at the Curtis
street armory. Appeals were made to
Sheriff D. D. Seerie for assistance In
clearing the Democrats from the halls,
but he declined. He permitted his deputy
under sheriff, Felix O'Neill, to remain at
the state house In consultation with Ham
ilton Armstrong, Chief of Police, acting
for the Democrats.
"I am the Governor of the whole people
and not subservient to any clique of any
political party, and I will be guided by
the law and constitution In deciding which
side of the Senate should be recognized,"
said Governor Peabody today. "I shall
be advised on that point by attorneys and
will be guided absolutely by the law. "I
don't contemplate calling out the militia.
I think the Colorado National Guard too
dignified a body to do police duty, and
that Is all that Is required. There Is no
occasion for bayonets. I think that the
police can keep order."
All Republicans who have filed con
tests against Democratic legislators
which have not been acted upon are said
to have been notified by telegraph to
come to Denver at once.
The Republican leaders In the House re
fused today to carry out the Wolcott
programme and unseat the 11 Araphoe
County Democrats. The Senate remains
In continuous session, but will not remove
more Republicans pending further ag
gression by the House.
The House held a short session tonight,
but did no business, adjourning until 10 A.
M. tomorrow. It was at first agreed to
adjourn until 2 o'clock Thursday after
noon, but a change was made at the last
moment. It is understood, however, that
unless the two branches of the Senate
shall have settled pielr differences before
noon tomorrow the House will refuse to
enter a Joint session and may adjourn over
three days, as it has a right to do under
the constitution.
There is a well-defined rumor that Gov
ernor Peabody has notified Lieutenant
Governor Haggott that he will not recog
nize the Republican Senate nor give a cer
tificate of election to a Senator elected by
it. This rumor cannot be confirmed. An
other rumor is that four of the Republican
Senators who have been meeting with the
other Republicans and the Lieutenant
Governor will return to the Senate cham
ber and resume relations with the Demo
crats tomorrow morning.
Conferences looking to a settlement of
the trouble have been going on all day and
tonight. It Is said that the Republicans
ask that the two Senators unseated last
night be restored and that some of the
Democrats are in favor of reinstating one
of them, thus making the vote a tie on
Joint ballot. The facts are that the Re
publican Senate has adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, while the Dem
ocratic Senate is still in session and its
members declare that they will not leave
the chamber until a Senator Is elected or
the session expires by limitation.

MINERS IN CONVENTION
MITCHELL SPEAKS OF IJTCREASE OF
PEACE IN INDUSTRY.
Opposes Incorporating Unions and
Government by Injunction Union
Is Financially Strong1.
JNDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Jan. 20. The
first thing on today's programme at the
Miners' National Wage Convention was
the reading of John Mitchell's annual
report. The convention met promptly
at 0 o'clock, with 00 delegates In their
seats. Mr. Mitchell received the closest
attention.
President Mitchell began his address
by impressing upon the delegates the
Interests committed to their care. Of
the many important events affecting the
interest and welfare of the tollers of
the country, he said, the anthracite coal
strike stood pre-eminent. Vital princi
ples were at .stake which, if defeated,
would have given to the American labor
movement a shock from which It would
have required years to rally and recover.
After giving a brief history of the great
strike, including the efforts of the Civic
Federation to settle the controversy be
tween the miners and operators, the ap
pointment of the strike commission by
President Roosevelt and the White House
conferences. Mr. Mitchell continued:
"It would of course be improper at
J. STONE, OF MISSOURI.
this time for me to comment upon the
investigation now being conducted by
the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission,
more than to say that its members are
men in whose impartiality and Judgment
I have full confidence. Firm in my
opinion of our ability to demonstrate the
justice of our claims, I have no fear
of the outcome."
Touching conditions in Virginia and
West Virginia, President Mitchell said
the effort to secure for the miners the
same conditions that obtained In the dis
tricts covered by the interstate agree
ment had not met with the degree of
success that had been hoped for, al
though a larger number of local unions
had been established during the past
year than during any other period In the
mining history of those states. The ef
fect of the injunction was demoralizing
to the miners In the Fairmont region.
The strike In West Virginia, though not
a complete success, had resulted In an
Improvement in the conditions of em
ployment and an increase of 10 per cent
In wages In the Fairmont district, and
on the Norfolk & Western Railroad.
Strikes Less Numerous.
The fact that strikes were becoming
less numerous, Mr. Mitchell said, was
due to the operation of the joint agree
ments. Local and general strikes, he
said, occurred more often In districts
where the operators refused to recog
nize the organization or treat with It.
Mr. Mitchell continued: -
"With each succeeding year the rela
tions become more 'cordial between the
operators and miners In those districts
where trade agreements exist and the
bond of mutual confidence and respect
perceptibly Increases. That the business
relationship now existing will continue
and grow as times goes on is my earnest
hope and confident expectation."
Concerning the Incorporation of trail
unions, Mr. Mitchell submitted an opin
ion by Clarence S. Darrow, of Chicago,
attorney for the miners before the strike
commission, In which the following sen
tences occur:
"The demand for the Incorporation of
trade unions Is the last trench of those
who oppose organized labor. It Is Im
pudent and presumptuous. No friend
of trade unionism ever believed In It or
advocated It, or called for It. It Is de
manded by those Interests and those en
emies who have used every means at
their command to oppose trade unionism,
to counteract its Influence and to destroy
It. How the labor organizations shall
manage thlr own affairs is not the bus
iness of the corporations or the employ
ers. This new demand for the Incorpora
tion of labor unions is not only unjust
and unreasonable, but Jt is Impudent
and insulting to the last degree."
Government hy Injunction.
Referring to Injunctions, Mr. Mitchell
said:
"Government by injunction is one of
the insidious, harassing and dangerous
methods resorted to by the enemies of
the workingmen to destroy labor organ
izations and to circumvent the consti
tutional right of trial by Jury. The whole
system of government by injunction
grows from the distrust of the ultra
capitalists for democratic Institutions.
The reasons given for the Issuing of In
junctions are always misleading and
generally false. So far as these Injunc
tions are Issued in labor cases, they are
never Issued except in such cases as call
for the exercise of the criminal law. Gov
ernment by Injunction Is not only hos
tile to organized labor, but it Is hostile
to constitutional liberty. Ifthe Ameri
can people do not check this arbitrary
power, it will result In the annihilation
of labor unions and then of all other
forms of associations disliked by capi
talists." In closing, Mr. Mitchell said:
"I desire to thank each official col
league, each officer and member of our
union for his assistance and support dur
ing the past year, and to ask the indul
genco of our delegates in the conduct of
the convention."
Over $1,000,000 on Hand.
At the conclusion of Air. Mitchell's re
port, Secretary-Treasurer Wilson sub
mitted his report Mr. Wilson dwelt at
length, on many phases of the great an
thracite strike and. said that when the
call for funds was Issued by. the special
convention summoned by the miners It
was Immediately taken up by the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, the various
trade unions, the central bodies, our cit
ies and the public at large, and the re
sponse was both liberal and prompt.
"The total amount donated by the dif
ferent branches of the miners' organiza
tion was $25S,333 94. The total amount
received from the special anthracite as
sessment w.i3 ?1,957,026 34, making a
total of $2,223,370 3S from the members
of the United MIneworkers to assist their
brethren In the anthracite fields. To thte
amount must be added $419,954 41, donated
by the trades unions and the public, a
grand total of 52,645,324 52. Relief com
mittees were selected by each of the
local unions, which were instructed to
furnish orders for merchandise on their
local grocers to any and all strikers that
might need assistance. Speaking of the
conditions prevailing Immediately after
the stoppage of the strike, Mr. Wilson
said:
"Under the circumstances it became
necessary to prepare for any emergency
that might arise. We therefore decided
to continue the special assessment of the
full amount levied by the convention until
the first of November, and one-half of
the original levy for two weeks longer,
and continue to accept such donations as
the public felt disposed to give us. This
policy, with the reduced amount neces
sary to care for the idle men, has placed
our treasury In a healthy condition and
we have now on hand 51.027,120 29. We
believe this amount, with the balance still
due from local unions that have not as
yet paid the assessment In full, will en
able us, for the present, to meet any
emergency that may be thrust upon us."
Mr. Wilson closes his report with a
general statement of Income and expen
diture during the past year, as follows:
"Income Amount received for taxes,
5210.43S SI; for supplies, 5SS74 20; for Jour
nal, J9S00 03; for assessments, $124,651 21;
for defense fund, $2,645,324 20; for miscel
laneous, 516SS 90. Total, $3,010,877 82.

aries and expenses. $109,017 70; for sup
plies, $11,075 25; for office expenses,
$2022 S4; for journal, $6S54 79; for telephone

$1,500.20 44; for miscellaneous, $54.S9o 26;

"Expenditures January 1, 1902. to Jan

apolis, $1,033,452 65; outstanding checks,
$6,332 36; balance on hand, 51,017,120 29."
Legislate on Injunctions.
VJce-Presldcnt Lewis next read his an
nual report. He said:
"When we remember that we have
nearly 500,000 voters directly engaged In
mining In the United States, and that
they are distributed through the country
in such proportions that we may deter
mine the composition of Congress, we
ask, In all sincerity, Whose fault Is It
If VyC do not secure remedial legislation?
It is our own. Let us burn that Into the
minds and consciences of every mine-
worker In this country then we will get
our rights.
"If we expect to secure relief, every
laboring man must act, not by denounc
ing the courts, or those who Issue in
junctions, but to demand of our repre
sentatives In Congress to know where
they stand with reference to the grow
ing evil of 'government by injunction.'
"Let the Congress of the United States,
by law, classify cases that are the sub
jects for the Jurisdiction of Federal
courts when Issuing Injunctions affecting
the rights of members of labor organ
izations when engaged in a strike.
"Have a law enacted that Federal
Judges can Issue Injunctions In labor dis
putes only on the application or approval
of two or more elective Judges. Fix the
time within a reasonable limit when the
defendant shall answer to an Injunction
issued against him.
"Compel the applicant for an injunction
affecting the rights of labor unions to
submit reasonable proof that his allega
tions In support of the application for an
injunction are truthful.
"Embody In that law a provision that
those arrested for contempt of the re
straining order In labor disputes shall
have the same right to a trial as that
accorded a person charged with commit
ting a crime.
"A bill covering our demands should be
drawn, and then It shall be insisted that
It must be enacted with every vital fea
ture embodied, and that politics will posi
tively be thrown aside In considering the
record of every candldato for Congress
on this question."
Following lae reports of the officers the
convention adjourned until 2 o'clock. The
afternoon session lasted an hour and
Frank Thomas, of Mlnersville, Pa., pre
sented to President 'Mitchell a gavel made
of wood taken from the house and tomb
of Patrick Henry in Charlotte County,
Ya. ,
Will Organize West Vir-rlnln.
T. H. Suddeth, a West Virginia miner,
who was among the persons restrained by
the Federal Courts during the strike in
that state last year, snoke briefly. Presi
dent Mitchell, following, said:
"I have never despaired of organizing
West Virginia and by constant and per
sistent effort will place the Little Moun
tain State where it belongs. Juages
Jackson, McDowell and Kellar may con
tribute their-efforts to prevent the organ
isation from gaining a foothold In West
Virginia, but greater men than they have
failed and, as long as the United Mine
workers exist, we will strive to gain a
foothold there."
At the conclusion of Mr. Mitchell's ad
dress he was invited to address the Indi
ana Legislature, now In session, and ac
cepted the invitation.
The convention adjourned until tomor
row morning.
RIGHTS OF UNION MEN.
Chairman Gray and Darrow Discuss
Them at Strike Inuulry.
Pi..wiDELPHIA, Jan. 20. When the
anthracite coal commission adjourned to
day, the 400th witness summoned before
the arbitrators was being examined. Of
the 400, 174 were called by the striking
miners, 155 by the nonunion men, 63 by the
operators and eight by the commission.
The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Railroad Company concluded Its case to
day and the Temple Iron Company began
the presentation of its side of the con
troversy. The companies to be heard are
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, the Le
high & Wllkesbarre Coal Company,
Markle Bros, and about CO other Indepen
dent operators and the Philadelphia &
Reading Coal & Iron Company.
Today's testimony did not bring out
anything particularly new. There was an
Interchange of opinion during the moan
ing session between Chairman Gray and
Attorney C. S. Darrow, for tho miners,
or the question of the rights of the union
men. Mr. Darrow believed a union man
had tho richt to refuse a nonunion man
cars In the mines and also had the right
to use every power within the law In dis
suading union men from working with
nonuuion workers. The unionists, he said,
have no rlsht to kill, assault or slander
any man. Chairman Gray remarked that
the employer has his rights, too, that Is,
he has the right to refuse to employ union
labor. Mr. Darrow agreed with him.
John L. McAndrew, of Scranton, a
hoisting engineer at the Diamond mines,
said the engineers, firemen and pumpmen
of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
District, No. 1, were unanimously opposed
to going on strike.
All the steam men of this district, two
thirds of whom were members of the
United MIneworkers of America, held a
meeting of which Mr. McAndrew was the
chairman, and adopted a resolution re
questing President Mitchell to rescind the
order calling out the steam men, because
they had no grievances. A committee saw
Mr. Mitchell and he said he could not re
call the order. When the strike order
went Into effect, 85 per cent of the steam
men of the Delaware, Lackawanna &

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and
Never Suspect It
Gertrude Warner Scott Cured by the Great Kidney
Remedy, Swamp-Root,
YInton. Iowa, July 15, 190L
DR. KILMER & CO.,, Binghamton, N. Y.
GENTLEMEN My trouble began with pain In my stomach and back, so severe
that It seemed as If knives were cutting me. ' I was treated by two of the best. physi
cians In the county, and consulted another. None of them suspected that the cause
of my trouble was kidney disease. They all told me that I had cancer of the stom
ach, and would die. I grew so weak that I could not walk any more than a child a
month old, and I only weighed 90 pounds. One day my brother saw In a paper your
advertisement of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy. He bought me a bottle at
our drug store and I took it. My family could see a change in me, for the better, so
they obtained more and I continued the use of Swnmp-Root regularly. I was so
weak and run down that It took considerable time to build me up again. I am now
well, thanks to Swamp-Root, and weigh 148 pounds, and am keeping house for
my husband and brother. Swamp-Root cured me after the doctors had failed to do
me a particle of good.
(Gertrude Warner Scott
Women suffer untold misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly
understood; In many cases when doctoring, they are led to believe that womb trou
ble or female weakness of some sort Is responsible for their Ills, when In fact disor
dered kidneys are the chief cause of their distressing troubles.
The mild and extraordinary effect of the world-famous kidney and bladder
remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, is eoon realized. It stands the highest for Its
wonderful curea of the most distressing cases. A trial will convince any one and

Western District No. 1. remained at work.
Michael McHugh, of Scranton, an engi
neer at the Sloan colliery, who was on
the committee which called on President
Mitchell, corroborated Mr. McAndrew.
He said the committee first saw District
President Nicholls. Nlcholls aald if the
steam men did not strike they would be
ostracised and their families annoyed.
Samuel L. Morgan, a miner of Scranton,
formerly a member of the union, said ho
was expelled from the union because he
did not produce witnesses to sustain
charges against certain officers. He said
the union was responsible for the march
ing In ISO). Witness said District Presi
dent Duffy told him. that raids were to be
made on the collieries at Derringer, Cow

ISLEOFPINES NO MAN'S LAND
American Residents Say It Is Ameri
can and Refuse Taxes to Cuba.
HAVANA, Jan. 20. The Americans re
siding on the Isle of Pines deny the gen
eral assumption of the Cuban government
that the United States has no special In
terest In the island and Is not likely to in
sist on the eventual ownership of it. In
any event, they ee'em confident of having
the support of the United States, If neces
sary, In their resistance to being governed
and taxed by Cuban officials, pending a
settlement of the question of ownership of
the Island. The matter Is expected to re
ceive important consideration in connec
tion with the settlement of the location of
the coaling stations and other pending
Questions between Cuba and the United
States.
Recently the American residents of the
Island unitedly notified the Alcalde of the
Isle of Pines and the Cuban government
of their intention to resist, by force If
necessary, the collection of taxes or any
assumption of authority over the Island
by the Cuban government. The taxes are
now falling due, and every American has
pledged himself ndt to pay them.
The Americans' contention Is founded on
the section of the. Piatt amendment which
. expressly omits the Isle of Pines from the
boundaries of Cuba and leaves the title
SH
to It for future adjustment by treaty.
Some 300 Americans have since the war
taken up their residence in the Isle of
Pines, and It la estimated that 500 Amer
icana have Interests in the island. The
American portion of the population Is not
of an adventurous character, but Is large
ly composed of people of mature years
who have engaged In the business of frult
ralslng. Their desire that the Island re
main American is not purely sentimental,
since, they claim, as a Cuban possession it
would receive no more than 20 per cent
tariff preference, while as territory of the
United States the Islands hope for freer
trade with America.
The Government, while acknowledging
that tho matter of the ownership of the
island Is open, holds that It has de facto
control over the island for the time being
at least, and that It therefore Is author
ized to levy taxes and perform other gov
ernmental functiona It is believed that
the United States will approve of this sit
uation as against the protests of the
American residents who refuse to pay
taxes.
