SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.-To re

with whom he had quarreled, Frank

A short time after the quarrel

The frantic father called in DR.. T
B. Holmes, who could find no trace OF
poison.
When questioned by the physician,
Robero confessed to him that he had
not taken any poison, but that he
merely wanted to frighten his family.

FREAR CHANCES
GROW Simmer
DAYBY DAY
By G.. S. ALBERT

. SP. ciAI Star Bulletin Correspond, nGI
WASHINGTON. y. G., Dec 26.-The
chances for Governor Frear and Sec
rotary Mott-Smith being confirmed by
! the senate are daily growing less.
All indications are that they will lie
permitted to go by default Republi-
can senators are helpless in the mat
ter and unless the Democrats consent
to this being made exceptions TO a
general rule already adopted, they
will fail.
The situation has grown much
more disheartening since the recent
caucus of Democratic senators. Con
siderable opposition then developed
to confirming any Of President Taft S
appointments except those in the dip
lOmatic service and in the army and
navy. Senators Martin, Stone, Owen,
Smith of Georgia, and Clarke of Ar
kansas, were detailed as a committee
| to review the entire matter. The
caucus agreed to abide by any conclu-
sion the committee reached.
The committee met and appointed
secretary to dig up all kinds Of
statistics Oh the subject He was also
directed to prepare the precise status
OF every name thus far sent in by the
President. This includes the names
of Frcar and N0tt-Smith. The entry
will show that the goyernorship has
been in allegiance for an even year.
Since the work of inquiry has been
in progress the committee has be-
come more than ever opposed to the
confirmation of Mr.. Taft's selections
Inc feeling has developed that the
number be minimiZed all possible.
In any event no time limit for a re-
port was imposed on the committee
and it will take a leisurely course.
The committee representing the
Democratic caucus now charge the
Depublicans with having defeated 1888
of the 400 nominations sent in by Mr..
Cleveland during the last year of his
first term. OF the nominations SO
held up, 81 were in New York, IS in
Ohio, 10 in Kansas, 13 in Massachu-
sets, 10 in Michigan, IL in Pennsylva-
mia, in Wisconsin, 8 in Iowa and 7
in Illinois.
No effort was made. by the Demo
Gratis in 1884 and 1885 to defeat the
nominations made by President Ar
thur, only II out of $50 failing of con-
firmation. But the Republicans We're
not so Considerate when MFR. C1eve-
land was going out after his first
term. At the close of his second
term in 1897, 1903 of his nominations
out of 800 failed, of which 10 were ap-
pointments to the army.
Whether to block all nominations
or only oppose those in states which
will have Democratic senators in the
next congress, is the main concern Of
the. Democratic committee. But the
present disposition is to make the
campaign of opposition rather sweep
ing.
Referring to the 1873 nominations of
President Cleveland whom the Repub-
licans defeated in 1889, one Democrat
ic senator said yesterday: IF Pres
fdent Taft does not want more than
that held up, he had better not send
in so many"

The scientists were visited again on

only for a few hours, and they re-
manned on Laysan. The Thetis prob
ably will call for them again some
| time in March.
AS was reported here at the time,
the Executive and his friends missed
their Christmas dinner at Midway,
, the sea proving too rough to permit
landing. The tniriy-odd persons on
Midway had prepared the biggest
celebration they could conceive with
the materials at hand, and had an
enormous feast spread in the party's
honor.
Gov. Frear, Judge Lindsay and
Capt, Cochrane got the meal, warmed
lover, the following day, though the
culinary department of the Thetis
managed to prepare a dinner Christ
mas Day of such satisfactory pro-
portions and quality that it took the
edge off their appetites for the be-
lated banquet.
That rough weather at Midway,
holding them off the island for one
day, set them back four days on the
hOmeward run, Captain Cochran re-
ports, and but for that unfortunate in
cident they would have arrived at HO-
nolulu four days ago. The delay of
Itwenty-four hours sent them into a
storm which otherwise they would
have missed.
THE bird and sea life among those
islands and shoals is one of the most
wonderful things | have ever seen"
said Frear. 81 think 1t was on the
Hermes shOal that We found great
school of seals. They we're so tame
we could walk right up to them anu
pet them. One old female had lit
ter that could not have Deen more
tLan a day or two. old. We picked
the little fellows UP in our hands and
fondled them. They were like littla
puppies.
The crew of the Thetis Killed two
or three sharks, and We saw any
number OF them. They followed the
ship. and when we landed rom the
small boat ct one shoal the sharks
followed us right up almOs1 to the
waters edge.
There are millions OF birds
throughout the islands, from the
great paiicanS that set Cn an egg
apiece in thousands not more than a
foot apart, to a species they call the
rail- which has wings that are use
less save as adOrnment and runs with
incredible speed. This latter species

Gemely inquisitive, and Insists on
