"This respondent Is advised and aver
that but two of the charges made against

by implication, are such as, if true, could
legally affect his right to hold his seat

"First That the respondent is a polyg
amlBt. "Second That ho Is bound by some oath
or obligation which Is inconsistent with
the oath required by tho Constitution
which was administered to him before he
took his seat as a Senator.
"Both these charges respondent denies.
"As to the charge that he is a polyga
mist. the respondent says he was married
on the 17th day of September. 1SS4. to

Including the condition In reference to
polygamy, upon which the State of Utah
was admitted Into the Union.
"The respondent now moves to strike
out and eliminate, separately, from said
protests, each and every matter and thing
therein contained, except the two charges
above mentioned,
"While the respondent is advised and
avers that the other matters referred
to In said protests axe such as cannot
legally or properly be considered as af
fecting the right of the respondent to. re
tain, his peat in the Senate, nevertheless
the. respondent now proceeds to answer
tho same, submitting the question of the
relevancy of the same, not waiving his
cald motion, but Insisting thereon.

Colombian Envoy Is Hoping Against
Hope That His Request tor Trans
mission of Correspondence to the
Senate Will Be Granted.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. Convinced of
the determination of the United States not
to retrace a step on the Isthmus, and of
the consequent failure of his mission,
General Rafael Reyes, the Colombian spe
cial envoy. Is ready to leave "Washington.
Indeed he Informed the Associated Press
at noon today that he would leave for
Baltimore at 4 o'clock to consult a spe
cialist, and that his return was uncer
tain. He did not take that train, how
ever, and at a late hour tonight was 4t
his hoteL
General Reyes tonight said he was yet
hoping for an answer to his last request
that the correspondence be sent to the
Senate, and he could not say definitely
when he would leave Washington. He add.-
ed that when the time came for going
he would officially take leave of the Pres
ident and other officials with whom he
has come hv contact.
In a lone cablegram which General
Reyes dispatched to General Marroquia'
he. has reviewed the negotiations at "Wash
ington and Informed the Bogota govern
ment, that after doing everything in his
power to save something from the wreck
he has failed. General Reyes expects, la
view ot the high feeling prevailing in Co
lombia, that It will be very Oitncuit to
restrain his people longer.
General Reyes can suggest no means
by which the Colombian and Panama gov
ernments can settle their differences. Hd
thinks it possible that the dispatch of a
special envoy to Bogota from this Gov
ernment might result satisfactorily, and
he suggested today that Minister Bowen
at Caracas, who speaks Spanish fluently.
and whose influence in South America has
been increased by his work for Vene
zuela, or Mr. Buchanan, might be able
to bring about a solution of the Colombia
Panama trouble, if either were sent to
