life long enough and that l will new
er find a better time to retire. an
tired of the cares and worry of Office
of having to turn away good people
whom I would be glad to serve if

tary of War J. d. Cameron, was

United States Senator. The vote
stood: Cameron 1913, Morton Nc.

New YORK, March 13. The Times
Washington special says Hayes
policy is distasteful to
Republicans now in Wash
ington. They are holding caucus
and doing everything to prevent the
of Nichols and Hamp-
ton. If, however, they are unable
to prevent this, the Southern Sena-
tors will vote against the admission
Of Kellogg and Corbin. They argue
that they have been betrayed by the
Administration.
1t is the general impression to-
night that the Senate. within a few
days after receiving the report from
the election committee on the Louis
lana. case, will postpone action con-
cerning it till next December. Nor
ton and other friendsof Kellogg will
acquiesce in the postpone
ment as the only means of avoiding
defeat.
