Chandler Wanted In Interior De-
partment.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 17.-Aa ex.
tremely interesting interview is reported to
have taken place between Secretary of the
Interior Smith and Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior Chandler, of Kansas. The sec.
-etary requested Chandler to report to the
secretary's room as soon as convenient. The
judge responded promptly.
The secretary started out by saying ne was
more anxious to dispatch business in the
department than he was to make a reputa-
ton for beng an extreme partisan. He had
made an investigation for himself ard had
come to the conclusion that he understood
the business of the Office better than anyone
else. As a result he wanted him to agree to
remain in the Office for four years and hold
the same position he has for the last four
years.
Chandler. who replied that he had partially
made arrangements to return to Kansas and,
of course had not expected to remain. Also
he was quite sure he was not SO much in
love with the work that it would incoavlen-
lence him IN the least to surrender the office.
Smith then stated that he would not ex-
pect Chandler to take charge of the appoint
ment work, as he had during the last admin
istration, but he would allot the work to
some one else He would attend to that
mostly himself. He simply wanted Chand~
Ter to remain in the Office to superntend the
business of the office and he stated he wanted
a man in the Office on whom he could rely
implicitly and who could carry the work
along without Embarrassing delays.
The situation was a most extraordinary
one. Chandler represented he WAS unable
to decide and having expected to leave the
office promptly he could not submit an an
wer to the new proposition Immediately.
When Judge Chandler was asked about
the matter he was inclined to say little. He
seemed to think it was a personal matter
and of no interest to the world in general.
1t is certainly very remarkable situation
snd reflects great credit on the official from
Kansas. There is not the slightest doubt
but Chandler will be urged to remain IN his
place as long as Smith is secretary of the
interior

says: The past week has seen everything in
the agricultural world practically at stand
still. A cold wave has hung over Us and up
to this writing the conditions are unchanged
The cold weather has been accompanied by
high winds. and in more northern ATTITUDES
some snow. Seeding of oats was in full
blast in some portions of Kansas and Mis-
souri. but this has been necessarily stopped.
The high winds are rapidly drying the ground
In these states and fears are entertained that
the soil will be blown away from the wheat,
leaving the roots exposed. The Indications
do not point TO the early seeding of spring
wheat, but 1t II hard to tell what day may
bring forth, and, while last week everything
was frozen up solid and no indications of a
ler-up, this week may see an entire change.
Under more favorable conditions, and with
warm growing weather, We ought the COM
