TIME.

Former Senator HawIey is lying critically
III this afternoon at his home, 1716 N
street. He is not expected to live more
than a few. hours and his death may occur
at any time.
Mr.. HawIey was stricken with sinking
sne1r Yesterday afternoon and lapsed into
a state of coma. in which condltlon ne
remained until about 1 o'clock this after
noon when he rallied slightly and appeared
for a short time to be conscious. He was
later in the same condition in which he
had been for the previous twenty-four
bours He is apparently without pain ana
is breathing feebly.
Mr. HaWleys fourth term as Um'eu
States senator was ended on the Sd of TINS
month on which day his name. by speclai
act of Congress- was placed on the retifeo
LIST of the army as brlsadier general.
December 3, 1902, Senator HaWiey was
unable to attend the meeting OF the coih-
mittee on military affairs, OF Whicn ne was
a member over twenty-three years, ana OF
which he was chairman for over fourteen
years That was practfcahy the end Oh ms

LISTENED TO MR.. MORGAN.
The Senate Again Takes Up the Santo
Domingo Treaty.

Despite the fact that it is recognized that
there are not enough votes for the ratih-
cation of the Santo Domingo treaty, there
was a return today of several republican
members of the Senate who have been ao-
sent. Senators Lodge and kittredge, VINO
have been away for a few days, were III
their seats today and Senator Doillver Is
within reach if vote should be called lot.
After the reading of the journal To-Day
Mr. Teller asked if there were objections
to considera ton of his resolution OF IN
uuiry concerning Santo DOMINICAN ahalrs-
Mr.. Cullom, who had arisen TO move an
executive session. said that an opportunity
would be given tomorrow tor the cohsluera-
ton of the resolution. .
Il know that" said Mr.. Teller but II
we are called to vote on the treaty Inns
week we would have to act without the IN
ormation."
We'll. | do not believe the information
we would get is worth much anyway said
Mr.. Cullom.
Mr.. Teller said he did not want the reso-
luton to lose its place, and 1t was agreed
that he might call it up tomorrow.
The Senate then at 12:o9 went into ex-
ecutive session.
Senator Morgan occupied the greater part
of the time in discussion of the treaty.
Other matters beside Santo Domingo were
taken up in executive session, 1t being the
general idea that because of delay in get
ting in certain nominations from the White
House time could be used profitabiy in the
discussion of other treaties. The Nlcafa-
guam extraditon treaty was ratified and
the Russian corporation treaty was DIS
cussed at some length. Then a number OF
nomin ations were confirmed.
The Newlands resolution was agreed to,
calling upon the President, if not incom-
patible with the public interests, to send
to the Senate certain information in regard
to Dominican affairs. Senator Morgan
started his speech against the treaty at
1.15 and still had the floor when recess
was taken until = pm.

from all mental worry and strain, it rs nos
part of his plan to call upon any OF the
officials abroad If that can be properly
avoided.
Mrs. Hay will accompany the Secretary
on his trip, and probably Mr.. Henry Ad-
ans the Secretary's warm personal friend.
The party will sail before the end of the
week, but in view of the physicians IN
structions that he is to avoid excitement
or stress of any kind. the moment and
place of the Secretarys departure are no.
announced.
One thing may be stated positively. and
that is that If Mr.. Hays health is not
much further impaired than it now is he
will certainly return to Washington to re-
sumo his cabinet duties. Assistant Secre-
tary Loomis will return to Washington
from his western trip about the Sd of April
to act as Secretary of State.
