CABINET MEETING GOSSIP
HOUR SPENT IN EXCHANGING
FLUCTUATIONS.
President Did Not Announce That
Treasury Portfolio Had Been
Offered Governor Shaw.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The cabinet
was in session a little over an hour
today. Practically no business was
transacted, the whole time being oc-
cupied in Fluctuations of the season.
The president did not mention the
fact that he had rendered the treasury
portfolio to Governor Shaw at the
meeting, but privately talked with
Secretary Wilson about the matter,
the latter expressing the opinion that
Governor Shaw would accept. If Gov
rho Shaw accepts, Secretary Gage
will suit the incoming secretary's con
v%enience about relinquishing his
portfolio to him. Whenever Governor
Shaw is ready to assume the duties of
the position, Secretary Gage will turn
over the administration of the treas
ury to him.
Secretary Gage has not announced
what his plans are.
If Governor Shaw goes into the
cabinet the question has been raised
as to whether Secretary Wilson, who
also comes from Iowa, will remain.
On this point a cabinet officer is quot
ed as saying that the president is
particularly DESTROYS that Secretary
Wilson continue in the cabinet. His
work in the department of agriculture
is highly appreciated by the farmers
of the country and the president does
not desire to lose him.

Des Moines, Dec. 24.-Goyernor
Leslie NJ. Shaw was seen by the Asso-
ciated Press reporter as he stepped
from the train on his arrival from
Dubuque tonight. He said regard
ing his attitude concerning the secre-
taryship of the treasury. "The ap-
pointment of secretary of the treas
ury has not been formally rendered
to me by the president. | have been
asked if | would accept the position if
such a tender were made. | shall
consider the matter somewhat further
n decide it without unnecessary de-
lay"
The governor said that was as deem
as he cared to go into the matter at
present and would not intimate what
his decision was likely to be. Those
close to the governor here believe he
will accept the position if it is formaI-
ly rendered.

CHRISTMAS.
For the Third Year the Festival Finds
the Country at War,

For the Third Year the Festival Finds
the Country at War.
London, Dec. 24.-"Christmas for
the third year in succession finds the
country engaged in war;" is the bur-
den of the editorials in The London
papers this morning and regrets are
expressed that the casualty list issued
today totals 40 men killed and II
wounded. Satisfaction, however, is
found in the fact that the c of
attrition brings the end of the strug-
gle p%erceptibly nearer. Compensa-
ton is likewise found in the undimin-
ished loyalty displayed by the col
onies.
Christmas brought a change of
weather conditions in Europe, where
the severest frosts and snow have
given way to cold rain and sleet. In
London the wretched gloomy weather
threw a certain gloom over the fes.
tivities. S%hopkeepers suffered heav-
lily as the downpour kept thousands
of persons indoors.
Among the great cities of the world,
New York is regarded as having cause
to rejoice for material prosperity.
Rome and st. Petersburg are fairly
prosperous, but Paris, Berlin and
Vienna are suffering from bad trade
