THE TAYLOR NOMINATION
The Senate is Not Dsvoting Much Time
to Executive Business.
Candidate Taylor Has . Talk With
Perry Carson, but Not of an En-
c0uragfng Character.

The prolongation of the tariff debate from
noon each day until late in the afternoon
Is having the effect of preventing the
holding Of executive sessions of the
Senate at any length. On Saturday and
yesterday there were no closed sessions
held, and on Friday the Senate remained
In secret conclave only twelve minutes. The
day before that the Senate adjourned with
out an executive session on account Of the
death of Representative Battan. So it is
that the discussion over the nomination Of
Mr.. Charles H. j. Taylor of Kansas to be
recorder of deeds of the District still hangs
fire. On Wednesday last the debate in the
Senate behind closed doors on this inter-
esting subject was begun.
Since then Mr.. Taylor, 1t is understood.
has been telling his bosom friends, conf
dentially, that he was soon to be confirmed.
Indeed, he has allowed his vigorous imagin-
alton to apply itself to the case and has
even confided to a select few that as a mat
ter of fact he was really confirmed at that
Wednesday session, but that the Senate
had decided to hold back the formal an
nouncement of its action in order ito see
news"
Just when the Senate will again find time
for discussion OF Mr.. Taylor's case is not
apparent.
Why MIR. Carson is Opposed.
Col. Perry Carson, who is doing jury SER
vice in Circuit Court No. 2, when question
ed by a Star reporter today. stated that Mr..
Taylor had called on him and had asked him
to state the reason for his opposition. Il
told Mr.. Taylor" explained Col. Carson.
that it was true that 1 was opposed to his
confirmation. But that had but one rea-
son for doing it. and that was he was not a
District man.
I'm a firm believer in home rule" con-
tinued the colonel. II don't believe in
bringing outsiders in here and giving them
District offices. And IT don't make any
difference to me, as to that, whether they
are white or black. 1 told Mr.. Taylor all
that. and told him that / had always be-
ieved in il, and didn't propose to go back on
IL now because he was a colored man.
also told Mr.. Taylor that while would Tx e
to see him get something, / would very
much dislike to see him made recorder OF
the District
Col. Carson explained that Mr.. Taylor Rad
complained to him that his confirmation
was opposed more because he was a negro
than because Of anything else.
But I told him." said the colonel, that
/ didn't believe 1t. / told him that so far
as could see. the people of the District
republicans and democrats both. believed in
District offices for District people"

TROOPS ORDERED OUT.
Secretary Lamont Acts in the Presf-
dents Absence.

Omcial dispatches received by the At
torney General this morning Indicate a
serious state of affairs in the far west
along the lines of the Union Pacific rail-
reed The federal government has again
been called upon for help and the authori-
ties are embarrassed in their action by the
absence OF the President. Secretary La
mont and Gen. Schofield had a conference
with Attorney General Olney at the De-
partment OF Justice this morning in regard
TO the matter and it was decided that the
situation justified the Secretary of War in
assuming the responsibility of ordering
out the federal troops subject to the sub
sequent approval OF the President This
conclusion is said TO be based on a de-
eision OF the United States Supreme Court
that the act OF the Secretary of War in a
military question must be considered as
the act of the President himself 1t is said
In the present instance that the delegation
of executive power to the Secretary of War
Is properly assumed on the ground that the
action taken is in strict accord with the
precedent set by the President himself in
similar cases.
In accordance with the decision reached
q the conference this morning, Gen. Scho-
beld telegraphed orders to Gen. Otis COM
banding the Department of the Columbia
10 send troops at once to the vicinity of
montpelier, Idaho. to assist the United
states marshal IN enforcing the orders of
the United States court.
This action is based On a report that a
large body of so-called "Coxeyites'' have
seized several trains. loaded with valuable
freight, at that point. and have successful
~ repealed the efforts of the marshal and
his deputies to recover possession of the
property. Troops at Boise City, Idaho,
which Is the nearest military post, have
gone to the scene of the trouble
Gen. SchOfleld also telegraphed orders to
Gen Brooke, commanding the Department
Of the Platte, with headquarters at Omaha
that fresh trouble has broken out on the
.ine of the Union Pacific road near Green
River, Wyo.. and to send troops there to
assist the United States marshal
The nearest post is Fort D. A. Russell,
and the military forces there will be utilized
for this service. The trouble at Green river
Is also case of train stealing. At that
point the Coxeyites were yesterday dis
lodged from a train which they had seized
several hundred miles further west and then
surprised the authorities by seizing another
train, which happened to be unguarded, and
started on again on their free ride to the
Atlantic.
They will undoubtedly be intercepted. how
ever, before they have gone very far and it
Is safe assumption that they will not soon
be given another opportunity of repeating
their train-stealing performance.

dreaming that a following train would be
allowed to follow as closely as 1t did. The
second train, Notwithstanding its nearness
to the first, was being run at full speed and

Bryans calculation OF the distance was
