about $50 other nominations to minor rank

nations have been held up because Of con-
fusion resulting over the date of transfer
from the volunteer service to the regular
service. Those Of this class whose nom-

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
DOVER, Del. February 12.-Representa-

regular republican ranks since the begin
ming of the present session Of the legisla-
ture, but whose fealty to the anti-Add1cks
cause has always been questioned, today
formally broke away from the regulars ano
voted for State Senator Alvin b. Conner
(union republican, for the short-term United
States senatorship.
In this move they were joined by Repre-
sentative Jones (union republican,. Ihe
action of Price and Tyree is generally re-
garded as being a preliminary to their vot-
ing directly for John Edward Addicks.
While this outcome was not unexpected, 1t
created some surprise.
The regulars ranks now number eight
men, and it is believed that their lines are
solid.

State Senator Conner was delegate to the

n,,ttee to notify Roosevelt of his nomina-
ton for Vice President.
Two Were Absent.
Representative Hughes (democraD and
Townsend (union republican, were absent.
There is no change in the situation created
yesterday by the regular republicans re-
fusing to join the democrats in an effort of
the latter to have the repeal Of the OBJ
ncxious voters assistant law speedily dis
posed of.
As a result. however, the democrats will
most likely decline to consider any propo-
siton from ant-Addicks republicans that
does not involve the enactment of this re-
peal as well as the election OF one regular
republican and one democrat to the sena-
torshio.
The deadlock today seems to be in a
groove that is decidedly deep.

RESIGNATION HELD UP.
Midshipman Pearson Will Be Given
Time to Reconsider Determination.

11me TO ESeCOuS1Oef OeLerm1naC1On.
Capt. Brownson, superintendent of the
Naval Academy, has forwarded to the Sec
retary of the Navy the<resigna ton of Mid
shipman Robert II. Pearson of New Hamp-
shire, who suffered broken jaw as result
of a recent f1stic encounter with Midship-
man Francis G. Blasdel, following a system
Of running by higher classmen. The
superintendent recommends the mona ccept-
ance of the resignation Of Midshipman
Pearson, and says that he has given that
young man two weeks leave of absence in
order that he may recover his health and at
the same time withdraw his resignation.
1t is said that the superintendent feels that
Midshipman Pearson is being forced out of
the Naval Academy by the other midship-
men, with whom, 1t is said, he is not pop
ular as result Of the fight with Blasdei,
and the hazing investigation which was an
outcome Of the affair.
In view Of Capt. Brownsons recommended
ton, it is probable that Secretary Moody
will not accept the resignation of Midship-
man Pearson. and that steps will be taken
to prevent midshipmen at the academy from
illtreating him.

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR IRELAND.
Earl of Dudly Makes an Optimistic
Speech

DUBLIN. February 1.-THE Earl of Dud
ley. Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, at the
annual dinner of tie Royal College of Sur
geons here yesterday evening, made a very
optimistic speech during which he declared
that the prospects for the future of Ire
land were very encoura ging
Agitation had been largely abandoned and
he hoped earnestly that those who were
responsible for the government of Ireland
would never again be compelled to enforce
the exceptional treatment which they had
been obliged to impose early in 1902
Never in his life had he signed anything
more gladly than last weeks proclamation
The country had shown a genuine desire for
a just final and amicable solution of the
land question, and he believed the recent
land conference would prove an epoch in
Irish history. the handspring thereof being
liberation, moderation and cooperation
and with these principles there was nothing
Ireland could not accomplish.
