WARNER CONFIRMED.
Senate Acts FavOrabl, on His Nominal
ton in Mr.. WellngtOn'S Absence
The Formally Of a Vote Not
Regarded as Necessary.

Washington, July u 1.-The confirmation of
Il. ii. Warner. Jr., as Consul at Leipsic, by
the Senate this afternoon. in the absence Of
Senator Wellington. caused General surprise.
An hour before action was taken Senator
Frye, the Chairman o. the Coumittc on Com
merc", to which the nomination had been
referred, said that while 1t was certain Mr..
Warner would be confirmed before the
session closed, the Senate would wait 81 rca-
sonablo length OF tim, 20 enable senator
Wellington to be present.
'''enatorial courtesy said Senator Frye,
"r"quires that we postpone action when II
Senator interested is sick, but that does not
mean the delay should cause the destruction
of the young man whose case We have under
consideration"
lnasmuch as Mr.. Warmers confirmation
was IL furgone conclusion, it could not have
made any real differences to any one if action
had been delayed to the last day of the
matter taken by the Senate and there was,
therefore, no opposition when the case was
taken up.
40 OPPOSITION To CONFIRMATION.
Mr.. Warmers nomination was reached on
the calendar in the regular course of execu-
tive business, and Senator Gallinger asked
that it be acted upon There was no objec-
ton of any kind, nor was vote considered
necessary. Senator Frye was not in the Sen
ate chamber at the time.
After the Senate adjourned member of
the commerce committee explained the action
of the Senate in the absence of both Mary
land Senators on the ground that no one
knew of any reason for further delay in the
matter when it was certain that confirmation
would be had before the session closed.
During the afternoon Senator Gallinger
received II telegram from Senator Wellington
stating that his return to Washington was
uncertain, and asking that he be paired on
the tariff bill. This Telegram was accepted
would not return to Washington before Con-
gress adtourns, and, in the opinion of Senator
Galinger, removed the only reason for II
further postponcment of Mr.. Warmers case.
PREFERRED ACTION IN HIS ABSENCE.
Inasmuch as Senator Wellington must have
known he could not defeat confirmation, the
suspicion exists about the Senate that he pre-
ferred action should be taken in his absence.
A telegram from him received by member
of the Senate "A few days ago stated that he
wished to be present when the nomination
was taken up in order to make Il statement.
He added, however, that he hardly expected
the statement to affect the action of the
Senate.
The Senate also confirmed the nomination
of Charles H. Isham, of Baltimore, to be u
commissioner in and for the district of Alaska.
