THE JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS.

MIR. Hoar May Request the Senate to Act in
His Absence-voorhees Discouraged.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Chairman Hoar.

ing not materially improved in health,
will. it is thought. at the regular weekly
meeting of the committee next Monday.
make request that there be no further de-
lay in final action in committee upon the
judicial nominations under consideration,
and ask that early reports be made to the
Senate. This may result in immediate ac-
ton. and yet the committee may wait un-
TIL the meeting on next Friday be-
fore agreeing to report. At any rate
Chairman Hoar continue too much
indisposed to attend "a meeting of the CON-
mittee, the Woods and other nominations
Will be reported not later than ten days
hence and the prospects are that they. will
all be confirmed within that time. Chair
man H0ar has taken deep personal inter
est in the Woods case. and bis colleagues
on the committee understand that he
wants to make speech upon 1t when it
comes mp for final action In executive ses-
sion of the Senate. 1t is not desired that
1t shall be reported till the conditions are
ready for Immediate consideration for final
disposal. The delay upon the Woods and
other judicial nominations means only
that the chairman of the judiciary commit
tee is unable to attend the committee
meetings. The hearings are all closed anu
the committee is ready to finally vote aud
report. No new opposition has arisen. The
prospects for favorable action were never
so conclusive as now. Chairman Hoar
greatly regrets the delay. and should he
continue indlsposed longer. VIII ask that
action be taken in his absence. in which
event either Mr.. Teller of Colorado or Mr..
Wilson of Iowa will be acting chairman of
the committee on judiciary. The action of
Jason Brown in arraigning Judge Woods is
generally accepted as prima facie evidence
that 81 natOr Voorhees, has given up all
