Senator Foraker and Representative
Taylor, and is said to be very good
man, but he insists upon coming
home just when his services are most
needed and will neither wait for per-
mission nor the arrival of his success
sof. He has made two applications
for leave of absence since the war
broke out, both of which have been
refused, and has now deserted his
post and left the interests of the
United States and the archives of the
British consulate, which were intrust-
ed to him, to a minor named After
buao. There is no explanation OF
Mr.. Macrum's persistency, and it is
naturally suggested that he is fright
ened. The president has directed
Adelbert Hay, son Of the Secretary
of State, 10 start at once for Pretoria
and take charge of the consulate, and
he sails on, via London, on Wednes-
day. Mr.. Hay is bright young
man who graduated at Yale two years
ago and has at times served as private
secretary to his father.
