WOLCOTT WITHDRAWS.
Will Not Further Contest Sen
ator Teller's Election.
Weekly Trade Review United Mine
Workers-Canal Treaty Signed-Fran-chise
Tax Law Bombardment ol
San Carlos Candidates Need Not
File Expenses Leader Defeated.
The climax of the senatorial fight In
Colorado came when ex-Senator Wol
cott, the candidate of the so-called
"Stalwart" wing of the Republican
party, announced his practical with
drawal from any further contest, and
urged the people of Colorado to accept
the situation as it stands, by the elec
tion of Senator Henry M. Teller to suc
ceed himself.
The announcement was made In a.
Blgued statement In which Mr. Wolcott
charges certain Republican leaders as
sociated with the anti-Wolcott forces
In the Republican ranks with treach
ery, deliberate and continuous, al
though he disposes of others of the
anti-Wolcott crowd by characterizing
them as "dupes" of the main conspira
tors. Continuing Mr. Wolcott said: "There
wore three joint sessions of the geu
eral assembly. At the last one 31
Democrats voted for Te'ler. No other
joint session had been held and no Re
publican had voted In a joint session.
The election of Mr. Teller was tinct
ured with fraud, first In the trickery ol
adjournment by the Democrats of the
house; second, in the arbitrary and
fraudulent expulsion of two legally
clecte.1 senators.
Speaking of Mr. Teller, the ex-senator
said that In no sense was he party
to tho frauds above referred to, al
though he was the beneficiary.
Expansion of Spring Trade.
Previously existing favorable condi
tions still rule. Spring trade shows
further expansion, particularly In dry
goods, such as linens, wash fabrics
underwear and hotsery. Clothing,
shoes, hardware and hardwood lumhei
are active, and tho volume of ship
ments of spring goods to fill orders of
fers still another problem for the con
gested transportation companies tc
solve.
Among the manufactured products
the strength of Iron and steel Is not
able. While weather conditions arc
unfavorable to ordinary building and
lumber Is quiet with final distributors
a good volume of business is reported
by producers. In fact the outlook Is
for a very activo year In 193 In build
ing, but It 3 pointed out that In sonic
cities tho question of possible prices
of labor and materials may exercise
checking effect upon this tendency.
The price situation Is one of excep
tlonal strength. Mild weather weak
ens the price of country produce, such
as butter and eggs.
Snjrar market is unsettled by uncer
tainties as to reciprocity arrangements
with Cuba.
Cotton goods are strong, feeling the
effect of the exceptional good spring
trade already booked. Print clothe
are one-eighth cent higher on the week.
In dress goods Jobbers note an ex
panding business, and men's weal
woolens hold the advance of 5 to 10
per cent noted at the outset of the sea
son. Raw wool Is firmly held, and
there Is even some quotable advance
noted on the week.
Mine Workers Demand Raise.
The convention of the United
Mine Workers of America, In execu
tive session at Indianapolis, Ind., com
pleted the consideration of the wage
srale, and Secretary Wilson anonunced
that there will be no more executive
sessions.
The mine workers decided to do
mand an Increase In wages of 12
cents per ton on a run of mine basis,
all coal to be paid for on that basis.
A differential of 7 cents between pick
and machine coal will be asked for.
The entire competitive district com
posed of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and the
Pittsburg district of Pennsylvania is
governed by this scale. The present
run of mine rate in Indiana is 49
cents, and the Increase, if granted by
tbe operators, would make the rate of
wage3 61 Vi cents per ton. In the Pitts
burg district it would be 63 cents; in
Ohio 70 cents, and in Illinois 6U&
cents.
Canal Treaty Signed.
The treaty between the United
States and Colombia for tho construc
tion of the Panama canal by the Unit
id States was' signed in Washington.
The canal treaty provides for the

ombia of $ 10,(100,000 in gold and $250,
OL'O annually thereafter. The lease ol
a zone six miles wide for 100 years is
granted. The Unite! States nas the
right to send troops to protect its
property in case Colombia can not do
80.
The tieaty Is Identical with that
drawn by this government several
mouths ago and at that time submit
ted to the Colombian governmenc with
the single exception of the amount of
the annuity to be paid Colombia for
the right of way of the canal.
Franchise Tax Law Unconstitutional.
The appellate division of the su
preme court, third department, deride?
by a vote of three to two that the
special franchise tax law of ISD!"
is unconstitutional in so far as it take?
the power of taxing franchise iron,
the local boards of assessors and give.'
it to a Btate board, thus violating tin
"home rule" principle of the state con
stiiution.'
The present decision affects the lafl
inly to tne extent of removing the a
sessment from the jurisdiction ol
the state commission. It leaves the
franchises still In the list of taxable
property, to which, as the four opin
Ions unanimously agree, the legisU
ture had the power to add them, and
permits the local boards of assessorl
to tax them at their full value.

which were not true and that he want
ed to retract his statement that Lemuel

witness had left the stand and said he
appeared for Mr. Doblin, who had

were true and some which were false,
and held in his hand a statement to
which Mr. Doblin had sworn.

specific denial of all statements he had
previously made wherein he alleged at
tempts at bribery.

explanation of his action, but persisted
that he was telling the truth then and
adhered to his denials.

committee's program, which contem
plated ca ling Dr. W. R. Kerr to the
stand, was abandoned and it went into
secret session. Some of the members,
In view of the remarkable develop
ments, favored dropping the investiga

tinued. It is understood that Mr. Lessler
asked that he be permitted to make a
statement and said that he had an
other witness he would call, whereupon
the committee decided to meet again
today.

in the committee room when Doblin
gave his testimony.

MR. HEARST'S ACTION.
Arguments on Application For SuM
Against Coal Company.
Albany, Jan. 27. Attorney General
Cunuoen gave a hearing cn the appli
canon of Wil.'.am R. Hearst that ac
tiou be commenced before the supreme
court under the auti-irust law against
12 coai carrying lailroads ani the
Temple Iron company.
lue complaint al.eges that by ar
agreement wun the independent oper
alurs tno railroad companies have se
cure J control of the entire outpu
of the anthracite coal mines and thai
in March, 1901, they increased thi
price of coal 50 cents a ton, thereby
aduing to their revenues $30,000,000
Lie railroad companies were repre
sented by attorneys,
ly granting the application Mr
Shtarn, for the applicant, ui'jjed tha'
tlie attorney general would prevent tht i
railroad companies from fulfilling theii
guarantee ot the stocks and bonds o.
tho Temp e Iron company and thus
ucslruy the combination.
Lewis E. Carr, representing the Dol
aware and Hudson, asked waether the
Temple Iron company's coutiacts were
net mude in Pennsylvania. Mr. Shear:
replied that the courts cf this statt
could act, nevertheless.
Mr. Carr said uniformity in the price
of coal was not sui prising for cost o.
production was practically the same t(
all and that if tho charter of tho Tern
pie Iron company were annulled Its 11
collieries would revert to the owner
ship of the independent operators anc
the price of the coal they produce bt
increased.
Ho questioned the motivo whlct
prompted the application, alleging il
was for newspaper purposes. Mr
Shearn objected and Attorney Genera
Cunneen stated that the motive woulc
have no bearing upon his decision;
that he would decldo the applicatioi
upon the tacts.
A. H. Moot of the Erie railroarl
maintained that tho Resiling company
produced tho majority of tho coa
mined and practically regulated th
price. The coal jobbers of New Yorl
city and not the railroad companies
he held, were the men who were vio
lating the anti-trust law. He askec
why they were not brought before th
attorney general. An Injunction un lei
the Donnelly anti-trust law could do nc
more than drive the sales offices of the
railroad companies from New YorV
city to New Jersey or Pennsylvania
Other counsel argued on the sami
lines. The hearing was closed, th'
attorney general reserving his decls
Ion and Blowing counsel a week tc
file briefs.
