We grieve, he says, that in the condition in which we now are we arc unable to entertain you in Rome as we would.'

Announcement of Gen. Hawley's NomiAs
 nation Received With Cheers.
 (By Associated Press)
 Hartford, Jan. 1.-The victory which came to-day to the distinguished sol- dier and statesman, General Joseph R. Hawley, furnished the climax to one of the most bitterly waged political con- tests ever fought in the Nutmeg state. For weeks and months there has been no let-up in a strife for the honor which was rendered complicated by the pres- ence in the field as General Hawley's competitors of two of the most proni- nent republicans in the state, the Hon. Samuel Fessenden of Stamford, 1nen- Der of the republican national commit tee, and the Hon. Morgan G. Bulkeley, one of Connecticuts former governors. The victory of General Hawley was not secured until three full hours had been consumed, and nearly all of that time was occupied in balloting. Technically or officially there were seven ballots, but practically nine ballots were taken. On the third ballot it was discovered that a total of 199 ballots had been cast At that time, however, there were but 197 members in the caucus, and the ballot was thrown out.
 A new ballot was ordered, with the same result, and the third ballot was thus taken three times before the diffi- culty was removed. Senator Hawley was at all times in the lead, but until the final ballot was cast and counted his was too narrow to permit of great confidence. The first ballot found the senator just two votes short.

The body of Senor Pedro Alayon, a promi- nent Cuban who disappeared myster- iously during the insurrection, has been identified.

VIII Remain Unchanged Until Sem
atOr Nelson Arrives.
WASHINGTON, D. G., July e.-Cass
Lake matters remain unchanged today
Judge Morris says that he has done all
that is possible, and he will leave for
home in a day or two, and not wait for
Senator Nelson as at first intended. Sec
retary Hitchcock says the law is all on
the side of the department, and he does
no know why 1t should not be carried
out. At the same time he does not want
to work any hardships on we'll intend
ing settlers. But his good intentions will
not continue long If the fusiltde Of tele-
grams keeps coming in requesting that
there be no modification of the order of
removal.
The most that Judge Morris hoped for
was a stay Of execution and this he
still believes he can secure, but whether
1t will be a stay long enough to give
congress a chance to take a hand in the
fight is another question. The secretary,
while suggesting that there may possibly
be a stay of execution, is very far from
promising that he will permit congress
to get hold Of the matter. Probably moth
ing startling will develop until Senator
Nelson arrives on the scene next week.
1t is not yet clear that Mr.. Nelson will
be in a position to do much. The people
of Cass Lake and all their hackers are
supposed to be his friends, and so are
the people at Bemidji and Walker with
their hackers and between the two fac
tions Nelson may not be able to take
sides.
Congressman Morris expects to start
home tonight. Today he saw the secre-
tary Of the interior and requested that
all further action in the. case be postpon-
ed until Senator Nelson can be heard from
in person. "I have had my say and have
a
land 1 shall now leave the case in the
hands Of Senator Nelson"

on the bar, and she pounded some as
she was towed into it.
At 10:35 the Defenders tug brought

however, to make 1t set at all decently
At its best there was a space gilmore
than foot between the Gaf and the

After that the two yachts cruised about
