Mr.. Davis explained to Judge Cole that
he dismissed the charge because the par

requested that her prosecution be aban-

because the young woman has since mar

Rush to Be Included in the Consular
Nominations.
NO MORE UNTIL ABOUT SEPTEMBER |
Comforting With Members Of the
Cabinet.
ILLINOIS MEN ON HAND

This was the last day for the consular
applicants to get in their work for some
time, and they locked &c the White House
in large Plumbers, leaving standing room a
thing to be desired. They wanted to see
II there was not some hope that they
could get upon that batch of nominations
at the last moment. None succeeded. The
list was closed yesterday afternoon and
goes to the Senate then made up. a
number of congressman who tried to have
1t reopened today We're informed that il
was too late. They were also given TO
understand that it will be a long time be-
fore the President again takes up consular
appointments. 1t is even semi officially
stated that, with an occasional exception.
the President will make no more consular
nominations until about the LIST of Sep.em-
Der, after he returns from a season of rest.
He VIII probably inform all candidates of
TINS II 1t Is his intention, as was indica ted
today. The President would like to dis
pose OF these places as quickly as possible
as they have been taking I'D a large part
OF his time. Then he knows there is grum-
ping about the delay. He knows also that
many men unable to spare the money are
mere at All EXPENSE which they can i'll af-
ford.
1t is not improbable that If the President
sees Congress is going to he DELAYED in
getting through the tariff bill he will con-
ciude TO take Short cruise on the Dolphin.
Comforting With the President
Secretaries Sherman, Bliss and Long were
in consultation with the President this
morning upon different subjects. Judge Day
conferred with the President about the
consular nominations. While Secretary
Bliss was with the President Representa-
tive Quigs admitted to the room, and
there was a consultation over New York
appointments.
Senator Mason toied up the long fight of
steps to the Presidents room. Reaching
the room, he found that and all other rooms
filled with visitors. Senator Mason waited
a while, but finally departed without talk
ing to the President.
It's simply awful, he said. It's an
this fashion, and I'm going to quit it, no
matter how many men get mad at me-
Senator Mason has frequently expressed
the opinion that sonnet hing ought to be
done. He would not make so many visits
himself, but hundreds of Illinois candi-
da ties ale beseechnG him to do something
for them, to introduce them to the PreSi-
cent. He is big-hearted, aid hates to re-
fuse any request.
This morning he started to the White
House with one friend thinking he would
be able to escape the others who pur-
suing. As he drew up to the White House
there stood eight Illinois men waiting for
him. They had taken chances on seeing
him and had won.
1t is said that there are more Illinois APP
picants for consular places than from any
two states in the country.

The three leading combinations were
about as follows: l.. ]. Crawford of Ken
lucky for president, Bowling for secretary
Omaha for next convention: Fred w. FleitZ
OF Pennsylvania for president, Bowling for
secretary. Chicago for next convention;
A NJ Higgins of Indiana for president
Downing for secretary, Kansas City for the
convention. The convention was very late
in assembling, and the delegates were
anxious to go on the lake excursion at 2:30,
which made the prospect for holding the
election today quite slim.
" lille the convention was assembling the
delegates gave vent to enthusiasm over the
entrance of forty members of the Young
Mems Mckinley Club of Dayton, Ohio, who
nad come to visit the convention. The boys
made a smart appearance in their white
caps and trousers and blue coats. They
were given seats of honor on the rear of the
platform Several of the states were slow
in submitting their lists of members of COM
mitteeS, and the process of getting them
all together caused a tedious wait.
