Secretary Hay will feel his duty to the
administration has been ended, and
having connected his name with one OF
the best diplomatic triunphs of the gen
Grafton, he may desire to seek the rest
of private life.
1t was we'll understood after the re-
was determined to leave the cabinet but
remained at the urgent request of Prest-
dent Mckinley. Secretary Hay has not
been well man for some time, and last
spring it was feared he might not be
able to return to his desk. The sad
tragedy at New Haven which cost him
the life of his beloved son cast a great
gloom upon the household.
When President Mckinley died Mr..
Hay was extremely loyal to President
Roosevelt, but said frankly then that he
would have to retire after a conlnara-
lively short time. The cabinet gossips
have all of a sudden renewed the story,
and there has been more or less Of a
furry over it in the hotel corridors Sim
liar rumors have been afioat SO often
that not much attention is paid to them,
but In the present case the time seems
to be about that fixed by the secretary
OF state himself for his probable retire
ment from the cabinet.
In the case of the resignation OF the
secretary Of state, 1t is generally be-
Slieved there will be several other
changes in the cabinet, involving the re-
tirement OF nearly all Of those appointed
by President Mckinley. 1t is quite well
understood that, in case OF change In
the state department.. Mr.. Root would
naturally go from the war department
to become secretary OF state. He is the
one member OF the old cabinet who had
close personal acquaintance with
President Roosevelt, and the intimacy
between the two men has always been
a warm one.
The result of these two changes prob
ably would be to percipitate others.
Most presidents prefer to have men Of
their own appointment seated with them
at their cabinet table. Garfield died in
September, 1881, and Frelinghuysen was
appointed secretary Of state the follow
ing December. Before Christmas Presi-
dent Arthur had changed four OF his
cabinet officers, and 1t is believed here
that, entirely aside from the matter of
personal preference, Secretary Hays re-
tirement would percipitate something in
the nature OF cabinet landslide. SO that
changes in the treasury. postoff1ce and
interior departments. to say nothing Of
the navy, would follow.
That Secretary Hay will go before a
great while 10 almost certain, and the
feeling Is now that the breakup in the
cabinet will take place before the end
OF the year. There should be reitera-
ton OF the statement, however. that the
president and all the members Of the
cabinet are extremely cordial, and the
retirements, when they do
take place, will be the result merely Of
obvious causes growing out Of the great
change which has taken place at the
white house itself.
President Roosevelt gave another Of
his series OF formal dinners tonight. The
guests were: Secretary Long. Senator'S
Pettus, Gallinger, Nelson. Dolliver. Nc
Comas. Clark Of Wyoming. Mallory.
Foster of Washington, Clay Bard, Bur-
ton. Dillinghma. Burnham and Paul
Morton, President OF the Santa Fe rail-
road.

cuHANs TURN 70 CONGRESS.
Draft of Special Tariff Law Sent to tho
Committee.


Committee.
Washington Dec. THE Cuban COM
mission Of tariff concessions spent yes
terday in Washington, accompanied by
their counsel, State Senator Frank d.
PaveS. of New York. and returned to
New York this afternoon. Before going
they gave out for publication copies of
a letter addressed to the senate and
house of representatives, together with
proposed special tariff law for Cuba.
The delegates have been given to I'M
derstand that they can get reductions in
the American tariff on Cuban products
from congress alone. They know. too,
that they can not expect undue legisla-
tive interference in their behalf. The
president told them so himself. He in
formed them that he should recommend
in strong language the Importance of
doing something at once in aid of Cuban
commerce and industry. Beyond this he
told them they must look to congress,
and advised them to see Senator Platt,
as chairman of the senate committee
on Cuban affairs.
The bill they proposed and want
passed provides in part that after the
Z,
ses and raw sugar, up to No. 16. Of the
Dutch standard, shall be admitted into
the United States free, and all other Gu
ban products upon the payment of one
half the rates of duties levied and col
lected under the tariff laws Of the Unit
ed States upon similar products of the
most favored nation. provided the peo-
pie of Cuba comply with the following
condition: The people of Cuba shall con-
sent that from and after the 1st day of
January 1902. all products Of the United
States shall be admitted to Cuba upon
the payment Of one-half the rates OF
duty levied and collected under the tar
iff laws of Cuba upon similar products
OF the most favored nation. Whenever
the military governor OF Cuba shall re-
port to the president of the United
States that the people of Cuba have
given such consent. the president shall,
by proclamation, declare that the rates
OF duties provided for in the act shall
take effect In the United States and in
Cuba from and after the Let day Of
January. 1902

current report this is caused not by any
difference OF opinion between President
Roosevelt and his constitutional advis-

cordial, but 1t is the result Of the ex-
pressed intention long ago OF Secretary
Hay to retire from the cabinet after the
conclusion Of the Nicaraguan canal me-
gotiations.
The treaty has now been submitted to
the senate, favorably reported, and will
be ratified in all probability next week.

Mr.. Baldwin went on to say that any.
thing not in the platform OF a party
should not be passed on until the peo-
pie had had their say. The government
was not a reforming institution and
nothing could be gained by passing a
law to the effect that the people must
be good when. perhaps, the people
were not in favor Of 1t and would be In
for repeating the law at the next ses-
sion. The reformation of the people
should begin at home. in the Sunday
schools and in the churches. II tenn
perance was wanted. the people should
be brought up in temperance.
