WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec. 2S,-As-
slstant Secretary Vanderllp, when ask
ed to-day. concerning a report that
Secretary Gage had rendered his resig-
nation, and that Mr., Mckinley had re-
fused to accept 1t saldi "There Is moth
ing In 1t"
The report in question gave Mr., Van
derllp as authority for the assertion.
Secretary Gage himself left for New
York this morning.
Mr.. VandeTllp when questioned fur
ther sad that SO far as he was quoted
as authority for the assertion he could
say that there was nothing in It, for he
had never SO stated to any person, AS
10 whether or not Mr., Gage had offered
20 resign and Mr., Mckinley had refused
to accept 1t, he (Nanderllp) could say
nothing, for he did not know whether It
was So or not
1t is believed In some usually well In
formed circles that the report Is sub
stantlally correct, but that there was no
formal tender OF resignation. IT Is
regarded as probable that at some con-
versatlon with the President, Mr., Gage,
In an informal way said that he would
resign II his financial views were en-
barrassing the administrator, and that
the President in reply stated very posi-
lively that he did not want his secre-
tary Of the treasury to do any such
thing.
1t is learned Furthermore, that at the
time of this conversation the President
informed Mr.. Gage that their Views
we're In accord. and that he must not
think OF reslgning It is regarded as
certain that Mr.. Gage will continue IN
office.
Secretary Gage was seen to-day on
his return from New York and ques-
toned as to the truth OF the published
report that he had rendered his resigna-
tlon to the President and that 1t had
been firmly declined with many ex-
pressloBs OF confidence and appreciation
OF his ability as shown In his adminis-
tration Of the treasury department.
MI Ihkt Nbs AAhN AAA'lAAANN W N''NAs''
the matter at length. but said that he
had not rendered his resignation, nor
had he any reason to believe that he
and the President were not In sub
stantial accord on the great questions
| now before the country. The report he
said, probably sprung from u remark
he had made to intimate friends TO the
effect that not for anything would he
embarrass the President, and II 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 ut the call OF his chief. the
executive, but have not the slightest
reason TO bellvc that such action on my
mart is even remotely desired by the
| president. The desires OF other people
| in that direction l am not disposed to
| Gansidar" "

MIR, Pettyta Nomination VIII Be Made
After Congress ReRsssmbles.
snreIal Dispatch to tho Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. S.-lt
was given out to-day in a semI-ofiicial
way that Senator Faulkner proposes to
4uht the confirmation OF o. L, Petty, as
postmaster at Charleston, W. Va, as
the successor of Mrs, Kenna. 1t is not
believed, however, that Mr.. Faulkner
will do more than enter personal OBJ
lection.
The matter was brought 10 the at
tention OF Representative Dorr TINS
evening. II is upon his recommenda,
lion that Mr.. Petty is to be nominated
and he was asked II It Is true that there
will be organized opposition to the con-
drmatIon. He said; 81 have no den
mite information as 10 what Mr. Faulk-
nor yyill do. but do not believe he VIII
do more than express his objections 10
a change. Mr.. Faulkner knows, OF
course. that the Charleston postmaster
shin is a political position. and VIII
Jonhtless recail that Mr.. McWhorter,
the Republlcan incumbent for brieI
nerlod under President Harrison was
turned out long before the expiration OF
his term, to make room for Mes. Ken
ma. He had served, believe, but eish-
teen months.
There is another thing" continued Mr..
Dorr. (which should not be overlooked,
and that is that Mrs. Kenna Is not de-
pendent upon her SALARY for support.
She is worth more money than any OF
the Republican applicants for the Office
can say, also, that II the conditions
were otherwise. there would probably
have been no serious demand upon the
patt OF ANY one to displace her. 1t seems
the sole effort now ls 10 create SYM
pathy and courtesy, but when con-
tribute to the needs of another, II VIII
be Of that which can call my own, and
not of what belongs TO some one else. ]
rcpeat. there Is no evidence, so far as
have been informed, that Mrs. Kenna
needs the proceeds OF the office for her
support.
"The senate OF the United States did
the proper thing when It voted her the
aggregate Of her husbands salary to
the expiration Of what would have been
his term. and the present administration
has not been lacking In respect 30 flr
ms I can see. Her commission ns post
mistress expired last June. and she has
been permitted to remain In Office until
now"
Mr.. Dorr called upon the President 90
day. and was informed that the nomi-
nntion of Mt PottF would be sent u
the senate soon after the re-assemblinG
of Congress.

City of Big windmiIIs.

Amsterdam, the capital of the Neither
lands, is situated at the confluence of
the River Amstel and the arm of the
Zuyder Zee, called the Y pronounced
eye). It is a forest of lofty windmills
in the form Of towers, steeples, pyra-
mids, truncated cones and aerial cree
tions, waving their enormous arms and
whirling above the roofs like a cloud of
monster birds beating their wings over
the city. 1t is computed that there are
no fewer than $4,000 wirdmills in Hol-
land, chiefly employed in pumping and
draining. Many are of vast dimensions,
each sail sometimes exceeding GO feet
in length.
