 icaI Gossip
LODGE SEEMS 10 BE BOSS
Friends of General Miles Are Very In- dIunant Over His Treatment by Roosevelt at the White House.
 Army Ring is Behind 1t.

washington. D. C., December 22.-(Spe- ciaD-Washington is in the midst of an unheavel of cabinet gossip. The retire. ment of Postmaster General Smith and the announcement that the Secretary of the Treasury will give up his portfolio within few months has caused specula- ton to drift into all other branches of the government.
 The tender of Gage place to Governor Crane of Massachusetts comes through Senator Lodge who seems to be having as much to do with the new adminstra- ton as Senator Hanna had with the last.
 While it has been frequently stated of late that the Secretary of State will re- main in the cabinet it is believed here his tenure of office will last no longer than to see the preliminary canal nego- tiations completed.
 Elihu Root May Also Change.
 When Long goes which will be before a great while Elihu Root, the present Secretary of War may succeed him. Ac- cording to some of the gossip Governor Taft of the Philippines and Ohio takes Roots place in the war department. Then upon Hays retirement Root will become the Premier of the Presidents official family. Hitchcock Is also slated for resignation and Wolcott, of Colorado is picked out to succeed him in the Interior department. From present indications Attorney General Knox will remain in the cabinet with Root and Wilson.
 Miles Friends Censure President.
 President Roosevelts severe reprimand of General Miles for expressing himself in favor of Schley continues to be the main topic of discussion here.
 Miles friends are highly indignant over the affair, especially the scene at the White House when the ranking officer of the army was humiliated before a score of members of congress and office seek CTS.
 Miles has a similar ring to contend against in the war department that Schley has in the navy department. It is said both rings only exist by the con- sent of the administration. So far Roose- welt seems to be in with the anti Schley ring and will of course not approve Deweys minority report. giving Schley the credit for his victory at Santiago
 In the meantime Messrs. Hanna, Fair banks. ct. al are listening to the band play and are not talking for publication.

 Bremen Fought Hard.
 The fire department put up a stubborn fight but inch by inch the fire gained headway and spread over the buildings adjoining the one in which it began. The weather was several degrees below freezing and the cold caused intense suffering among the fremen. They stuck to their work, however, and 1t is only due to their pluck that the whole bloclr was mt destroyed
 Frank H. Newman's and Harrison Bros, buildings were not destroyed but they were soaked with water and the ssO00 stock of ladies' furnishings in MT. Newman's store was ruined.
