GAGE DID NOT RESIGN.
Has Not Thought of Retiring From
the Treasury Department.

Has Not Thought of Retiring From
the Treasury Department..
Washington, Dec. 29.-Secretary Gage
was seen yesterday on his return from
New York and questioned as to the
truth Of the published report that he
had rendered his resignation to the
president, and that it had been firmly
declined, with many expressions Of
confidence and appreciation of his abil-
ity as shown in his administration Of
the treasury department. Mr. Gage
was not inclined to discuss the matter
at length, hut said he had not rendered
his resignation, or had he any reason
to believe that he and the president
were not in substantial accord on the
great questions now before the country.
The report, he said, probably sprung
from a remark he had made to inti-
mate friends to the effect that not for
anything would he embarrass the presi-
dent, and if he saw that he was doing
this he would resign at once. He added;
"A cabinet officer ought always to be,
and is ready to surrender his office at
the call of his chief the executive, but
] have not the slightest reason to be-
lieve that such action on my part is
even remotely desired by the president
The desires Of other people in that di-
rection 1 am not disposed to consider

SEEKS HIS SISTERS RELEASE.
Thinks That she Is illegally Confined
In an Asylum.

y
Baltimore, Dec pa hearing was
given yesterday in Judge Dobler's court
in the habeas corpus proceedings
brought by HeIy H. Carter, of this
city, on behalf of his sister, Mrs. Mary
Lucy Carter Ford of Richmond, Va,
now confined at Mount Hope Retreat,
In the suburbs of Baltimore. Mrs. Ford
is the wife of A. J. Ford, of Richmond,
Va, the proprietor Of Ford's hotel, of
that city. She. has several grown chill
dren and is a beneficiary of the Ford
trust estate, which is extensive and
pays a large income. 1t is claimed by
Mr.. Carter that this is the foundation
of all her troubles.
A short time ago Mrs. Ford was com
mitted to Mount Hope Retreat on petit
tion of her children and on the certif-
Gates of two Richmond physicians
Mrs. Ford's brother said that his sister
had visited him not very long ago and
she showed no signs of the insanity
which was alleged as a reason for the
commitment He, therefore, thought
she was wrongfully committed and sued
out a writ of habeas corpus in order
that his sister might be discharged, OF
that her insanity might be inquired into
by a competent tribunal No desisioI
was reached.
