No logic, he said, could be sufficient to defend an inde­ fensible act.

He asserted that one brigade of refeular United States troops would be sufficient to cope with the en­ tire force of Colombia, but surely, he said, the great power given us by the Master was not to be used by us like a bully. He declared that war against Co­ lombia had already been practically waged, but argued that no other authori­ ty than Congress could assume this re­ sponsibility. When Mr. Pettus concluded the Senate, at 1:40 p. m., went into exec­ utive session, and at 2:15 p. m. adjourned until Jan. 4, 1904.

He said it was reported at the time as 108 to 17 in favor of the previeus question", whereas the vote stood 107 to 107.

The resolution under consid­ eration authorized the committee on ex­ penditures of the Postofflce Department to request from the Postmaster General papers in connection with the recent post­ offlce investigation. This action left the Wanger resolution before the House sub­ ject to the further action of the House, when Mr. Williams, the minority leader, offered as a substitute the hesolution he proposed Friday, which provides that the Postmaster General be requested to trans­ mit to the House all papers and evidence touching alleged frauds and irregularities in the Postoffice Department and postal service, excepting such as. in the opin­ ion of the Attorney General, might de­ feat the ends of Justice.

The House, at 12:30 p. m.. adjourned until Jan. 4. PROMISE OF A SEVERE WINTER H. T. Fowler of Superior Files Charges ^Against Minnesota Officials. Superior, Wis., dispatch: Homer T.

During the proceedings Attorney General Miller accused Horace Haw­ kins and Frank J. Banga, attorneys for the prisoners, of perjury in mak­ ing affidavits that a state of insurrec­ tion and rebellion did not, and does not, exist in Teller county, as declared by Gov. Peabody in his proclamation of martial law. Attorney Hawkins characterized the statement of the Attorney General as an "unnecessary insult." The court reserved all decisions as to its power to take jurisdiction on the right of the governor to issue a proclamation suspending the writ of habeas corpus in the case of Poole, and all other questions involved. FLAYS THE UNIONS. Utah Governor Teils Men to Quit Ol* ganization or Leave State. Salt Lake City, Utah, special: Gov. Wells, after an interview with Presi­ dent Kramer, who is directing the op­ erators' side in the coal strike, issued a "cannon-ball" "statement to the union strikers. He said: "The only way I see for the strike to be settled is for either the strikers to give up the union and, surrendering their cards, go back to work, or els# leave the country. As long as the pres^ ent conditions exist the troo£>s will b# kept in the field." Unions are bitter and threaten to tetallate by opposing Wells politically.' Wells also said: "Mr. Kramer said that men who had stood by the company through the en* lire strike were strenuously objecting t® the re-employment of striking min­ ers and threatened to quit unless their efforts to support the company's posl* tfon were appreciated sufficiently to al­ low them to work with nonunion men only."
