Secretary Hay is Taken III.

New York, March 18-Secretary of State
Hay was taken Ill today as he was about
to board the White Star liner Cretc for
a voyage to the Mediterranean and be-
came so weak that he was taken on board
the steamer in a wheeled chair. That his
condition was not regarded as alarming
seemed apparent, however, as the steamer
started on her voyage without delay. Mr..
Hay has been In poor health for some
time and the voyage upon which he start
ed today was planned to give him COM
plete rest and an opportunity to recuper-
ate. The Secretary's plans include a stay
of about six weeks In southern Europe.
The Secretary had come UP from Wash
ington yesterday accompanied by Mrs
Hay, his daughter, Mr.. j. w. wadsworth.
Jr Clarence Hay. his son and Henry
Adams, a personal friend. The whole
party went to the steamer today al
though only Mr.. and Mrs Hay and Mr.
Adams were to sail.
At the White Star dock there are three
short flights of stairs leading to the Sec
ond floor from which floor the boarding
of the steamer Is made.
Turned Pale and ReeIed.
In going up the stairs Mr.. Hay had to
rest at each landing. Just as he reached
the top he reeled back, but recovered
himself and kept on. AS he was about to
start up the gang plank he was seen to
turn deathly white and stagger and would
have fallen had not his friend support
ed him. The Secretary was assisted to
heap of freight piled up near the gang
plank, where he sat down and waited
until an invalid chair was brought from
the steamer. He was then wheeled upon
the steamer and went at once to his
apartments. 1t was within few minutes
of the steamers sailing time when. the
Secretary went on board, and it was be-
lieved that IL his i'll turn was regarded
as particularly serious there would have
been some delay while physicians were
summoned or other plans made. No word
came from Mr.. Hays partments, how
ever but as the Cretic passed Sandy
Hook she displayed a signal saying that
the secretary was much better.

Adams Issues ScathiRg Letter
to Colorado Citizens
VICTORY DISHONESTY WON
Says Peabody's Willingness 70 Resign
Was an Admission That He Was
Not RIghtfuIy Elected to
the Office.

Denver, Colo, March 18.-Democratic
members of the Colorado general assem-
bly, are preparing protest against the
seating of James ii. Peabody as governor
after he had agreed to resign to permit
Lieutenant Governor Jesse f. Mcdonald
to become governor. The protest will
allege that the seating of Peabody under
the conditions was Illegal. Re-protest
will be filed when the joint convention
meets next Tuesday to receive the re-
port of the committee appointed to in
vestigate Senator Morgan's bribery
charges.
Alva Adams, who was ousted from the
office of governor by the general assem-
bly,. issued an address to the people.
1t reviews in scathing terms the various
steps in the contest by means of which
he was unseated. Following is an extract
from the address:
Confesses He Was Not Elected.
"Foiled in their attempt to override
the constitution, and as enough repub-
lican members would not forfeit their
manhood by voting for a man that the
testimony, as well as the election re-
turns said was not elected, it was clear
that Peabody could not be seated new
scheme must be devised A resignation
OF Peabody was offered and the voucher
of political purity quartette" (Hearn
Sheedy, Chappell and Eyans) was given
that 1t was genuine and that he would
abide by it..
"A man who had held the great office
of governor so debased himself as to
promise to resign at command II they
would seat him only for a day. This
resignation is a confession that he was
not elected and one that an honest man
honestly elected would rather die than
give.
1--WE expected fair play instead the ma
jority of the legislature has bowed to
the dictates of corporations who had sell
fish need of the governorship.
1.-The 100000 democrats and republicans
in Colorado are honest They stand
amazed at the crime committed by their
representatives, and they ardently want
the hour and the day when they can
rebuke the crime and those responsible
for it.
