disposition to oppose the matter on the
part of the mayor it will be a matter be

now different than when Mayor O'Con-

Il am willing to take the judg-
ment Of Admiral Dewey in the
matter. He has been a commander
of a fleet and as such has known
the anxieties and responsibilities
which rest on a man under these
circumstances. He was instru-
mental in the destruction of one
Spanish fleet, and knows and real

officer under such conditions.
Il think Dewey has summed up
the matter in a clear and concise
manner. and / believe his conclus-

no sympathy with the efforts which
have been made to destroy the
honor of an officer under such cir

Reported That He Has Been Of
fered the Treasury Portfolio
and Has Taken the Matter Un-
der Consideration
BUSINESS ALONE
STANDS IN THE WAY
Should He Become a Member of
President RooseveIt's Cabinet
He will Dispose of His Interest
in the Dalton Paper Company
it Is Said

Washington, Dec. 21.-While no Off
cial confirmation can be obtained at the
White House, it is believed that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has offered the treas
ury portfolio to Gov. Crane of Massa-
chusetts, and the latter now has the
tender under consideration.
One of the difficulties in the way of
Gov. Cranes acceptance is understood
to be his connection with the paper
company at Dalton, Mass, which fur
nishes the paper for government notes.
This paper is prepared by a secret
process, and the governments contract
with the Dalton company is a large
one.
Should Gov. Crane accept the treas
ury portfolio, it is considered probable
that he would dispose Of his interest
in the paper company.
Boston, Dec. 21.--According to in
formation received here, Gov. Crane
was in New York Thursday and was
summoned to Washington. He reached
Washington Friday and was with the
President for some time. The Presi-
dent, it is understood offered him the
position and urged him to accept at
once, but the governor wished to con-
slider the matter for a few days.
A telephone message from Dalton.
Gov. Cranes home, received here today
says that Gov. Crane is considering the
question with great thoroughness, and
is inclined TO accept the position.
Family and business considerations are
the cause of the governors hesitation
Springfield, Mass, Dec. PA special
to the Union from Dalton says that
Gov. Crane declines to either affirm or
deny the report of his being rendered
the treasury portfolio.
