To Be Summarily Removed.
The president did not approve the
spirit of the letter and at the confer
ence it was decided to summarily re-
move Mr.. Wakeman.
After the cabinet meeting Secre-
tary Gage declined to say anything
about the rumors of his resignation
beyond the simple statement that
he had not formally resigned.
"What may or may not do eventual
ly am not prepared to say now"
said the secretary. 'But I can say
that the relations between the presi-
dent and myself are perfectly cor
dial. He would do almost anything
1 would ask and would do almost
anything he might ask"
Wakeman Removed.
Washington, Dec. 21.-It was an
nounced at the white house Friday
afternoon that the president has re-
moved Appraiser Wakeman, of New
York, on the recommendation of Sec
rotary Gage. He will be succeeded by

Hay Not to Retire.
Washington, Dec. 21.-In view of
the repeated publications of late to
the general effect that Secretary Hay
is about to retire from the cabinet,
statement is given with full au-
thority touching this subject, sub
stantially to the effect that Secre-
tary Hay does not now contemplate
retirement from the cabinet. This
statement applies not only to the
present moment but to that indef-
mite period fixed by the conclusion
of the negotiations necessary to the
construction of an isthmian canal.
Also it is stated with equal positive
ness and authority that President
Roosevelt has in the strongest terms
expressed to Secretary Hay his earn
est desire that he shall remain in
the cabinet of which he forms one of
the principal props. Thus, according
to the statement, the secretary's in
clinations and the presidents de-
sires run together and there is no
foundation for the reports to the eff
feet that Secretary Hay is to leave
his post.
Amendment for Wisconsin Man.
Washington, Dec. 21.-At cabinet

Wilson desired to have the appoint
ment made without a civil service ex-
animation and he and the president
agreed that on account of the scientific
attachments of Prof. King an examina-
tion would not be necessary

tary Cages intention to relinquish the
treasury portfolio as soon as Presi-
dent Roosevelt can find suitable sue
cessor, and he has so informed the
president. Mr.. Gage would like to be

has done all he could to dissuade Sec
rotary Gage from retiring and will
probably continue to use his efforts in
that direction. Secretary Cages de-
termination to retire was made known
to the president some little time ago,
just how long is not known.
Subject of Long Conference.
The long conference between the
president and secretary before the
cabinet meeting Friday, which fol-
lowd the presidents return from New
York, where he attended the meeting
of the Bankers association Thursday
night, had nothing to do with the
question of the secretary's resignation.

Prof. T.. Il. Forbes, acting state ento-
mologist, has embodied his investiga-
ton in that region in a bulletin pub
llshed by the state experimental sta
ton.
The best and simplest method Of
lighting the locusts is to pillow the eggs
under. This inverts the egg mass and
the young find themselves too far un-
der ground to dig out. As no mature
grasshOppers live through the winter
and there is but one brood a season
this method effectuaIly ~6isposes of
them. Next to blowing under the best
means Is the hopperdozer. The state
furnishes oil for use in the hopper
dozers. County commissioners dis
tribute the oil.
The whole source of the trouble, ac-
cording 10 Prof. Forbes, lies in the
common practice of summer following,
and Western Minnesota will never lie
free from grasshoppers Until the farm
ers abandon it. The land left fallow
becomes the breeding place of millions
