If any of the boards of supervisors
in the state adopted the recent road
passed by the last legisla-
ture, it has failed to catch the eve in
any of the state exchanges that have
been received. Inasmuch as the first
Monday in this month was the first
regular melting of these boards after
the approval of the bill, it was
thought that the matter would doubt
less be taken up and the law adopted
In a few counties at last. The indl-
cations are just now that il any
adoptions whatever were made they
were few and far between, and they
have not as yet crept into the public
prints 1t is probable that this law
will prove failure, as similar laws
depending for their validity on the
option Of counties have proved in the
past. However, the boards have the
next two years in which to mediate to
the provisions Of the law, and they
can adopt it at any meeting in the fu-
ture ia case it commends itself suffic-
iently. The increase of taxation for
which it provides is probably enough
to prejudice the average member Of
a board of supervisors against it.

deputy sheri1s have been furnished to

No apparent change has taken place in
the strike situation fr Texas. Trains are

that things have practically settled to nor

Mr. HAYS RESIGNATION.
The Secretary May Retire Because of
the senate's Action.


Secretary Hay went to the White House
early this morning. and spent more than
an hour in conference with the Pres.d mt
before the Cabinet assembled at II
o'clock
After the Cabinet meeting Mr.. Hay de-
clined to make any statement as 10
whether the adoption OF the Davis amend
ment to the Hay -Pauncefote Treaty by
the Senate yesterday would affect s
status as Secretary of Sta5e. He would
say only that he had not resigned his Of
fee. but it was evident from the defini-
ton he gave IN answer to an enquiry. hat
he used the term resigned as meaning
completed act, and not as defining
mere tender OF resignation. Mr. hay
would not say anything more than this.
That the conference between the Presi-
dent and Secretary Of State related to the
continuance OF the latter in the Cabinet
appears to be certain. and It is not going
too far TO assume, that Ir Hay showed
desire 10 relieve the President of any
embarrassment which his presence in the
Cabinet might cause the Administration
Up to this time. the only positive state
ment that can be made on authority is
that the President has not accepted the
resignation OF the Secretary of State
Mr.. Hay has never said publicly that
he would resign from the Cabinet If the
Davis amendment were adopted by the
Senate His statement on that subject
was of q non-committal character, that
he had never made any threat to resign
if the Davis amendment were incorpoT-
ated in the treaty Whatever may have
been the actual form in which Senator
Frye made the statement to the Senate
il behalf of Mr. Hay, those who are au-
thorized to speak for the Secretary OF
State maintain that Air. Frye was not
commissioned to deny anything more than
that Mr. Hay had threatened to resign.
