QUAY TO RESIGN
Ill Health has Forced him to Give up
his Position of Influence in
Washington

Washington, d. G December 29-It
was stated on good authority at
the Capitol to-day that Senator Quay
will never return to his seat in the SEN
ate; that he is preparing to retire from
active political. life in the near future.
In letter received at the capitol to-
day it was positively asserted that the
Pennsylvania statesman has decided
to resign from the senate Mr.. Quay
has been unable To attend tie sessions
of the upper body except for one day
since the Flfty-seventh congress con-
vened. lie has remained in florida
and his health, instead of improving.
has gradually grown worse. To re-
turn to Washington, it is said, would
be but to imperil his life. Senator
Quay has stated that he would like to
remain here to attend to legislation
in which he is especially interested,
but that he found this impossible.
His fridnds say that, even under the
most favorable circumstances he would
hardly be able to serve out his term as
United States senator.

NO CHANCE FOR C0BURN
White House Denial That Kansan
May Succeed Wilson

Washington, Dec. 27.-The cabinet
met as usual today but no business
was transacted. The session was oc-
cupied with an exchange of holiday
"reminiscences. Positive denials are
given of the story published to-day
that f. d. Coburn, secretary of the
state board of agriculture of Kansas,
is to succeed Secretary Wilson.
When the fact that Governor Shaw
had accepted the tender of the Treas
ury portfolio was made public, the
announcement was made that Secre-
tary Wilson would remain in the cab
met and today the same statement was
reiterated at the White house. The
President is anxious that Secretary
Wilson should remain and the Secre-
tary himself has informed the Presi-
dent that he will be glad to do so.

WILL BRISTOW RESIGN?
II is Said That All of Smiths Assist
ants May Retire.

Washington, Dec. 2S--The opinion
prevails here today that the assistant
postmasters general will retire with
Postmaster General Smith. 1t is re-
called that in some cases in the past
where a cabinet member has rendered
his resignation his assistants have
also resigned their places, unless
especially requested to retain their
positions. This, it is understood, has
not yet been done in the cases of the
cases of the assistant postma0ters gen.
erals, and it is expected at the post
Office and other departments that
Messrs. Johnson, Shellenberger, Mad.
den and Bristow will tender their
designations in due time, so as to
afford MIR. Payne an opportunity to
consult with the president in regard to
the selection of the assistant post
masters generals. When seen this
morning at the postotiice department
in regard to this matter, Messrs.
Shellenberger, Madden and Bristow
said they had not consider the question
as to whether they would resign. They
said that they had received no intima-
tion to resign nor any special invita-
ton from Presided Roosevelt to re-
main. Mr.. Conrad, the chief clerk OF
the fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral, said that the rule of resignation
when the chief retires might hold good
in other departments, but that to his
knowledge it had never been observed
in the postoffice department.

of the press sent up cards of inquiry,
they we're returned with the statement
that there we're no developments and
nothing to be made public at the pres
ent time. 1t is understood the special
purpose of the meeting is to decide

Washington, Dec. S-The admin
istration is beginning to show its
hand in its purpose to induce congress
to authorize the purchase of the tele-
graphs. Not only has the president
selected a postmaster general man
who favors the making of the tele-
graph an adjunct to the postal service,
but it is understood he has selected
Senator Mason of Illinois chairman
of the senate committee on Post
Offices to champion the cause in con-
gress.
Mason said today that he would
introduce a bill for purchase of
the lines by the issue of bonds. 1t is
understood it will provide for an ex-
tension of lines to all post offices in
the country, reduce the rates and
create a sinking fund from the earn
ings to pay the bonds which may be
used by national banks as a basis of

REFUSES TO TALK
The New Secretary Will not Say
What he Thinks OF the Asset
Currency Question

Des Moines Ia, Ex-Governor Shaw
when seen by the Associated Press
correspondent tonight denied having
given an interview regarding Secre-
tary Cages treasury policy. On the
contrary, he has positively refused to
give such interviews. He has, how
ever, spoken in most cordial terms of
approval of Secretary Gage's admin
istration of the department. The gov
ernor has been very busy all day re-
ceiving further congratulations by
wire and mail and entertaining
visitors who called to pay their re-
spects.
The letter of the president has not
yet been received by governor Shaw,
but is expected hourly.
Governor Shaw says he positively
refuses to be interviewed at present in
respect to the asset currency question,
or in respect to his or Secretary
Cages administration of the treasury
department. He said, however, that
the nearest he came to an expression
of opinion on the asset currency ques-
tion was in a speech delivered at Nor
folk, Neb, last April, and which was
published in the Bankers Journal OF
July, but he would not say just what
| his views were.

VEN NEZUELA MAY RESIST

to Germany.

Washington, Dec, 27-The gathet-

ty of Venezuela and the presence in
the same locality of many American,
British, French and other foreign war.
ships, is directing attention to the i'm
minence of the naval demonstration
Germany is about to make against
Venezuela. Thus farthe German gov
ernment has not made known the ex-
act details of her proposed move, the
official communication to the United
States being confined to an inquiry as
to the attitude of this government on
the question Of demonstration in
view of the purpose on the part of
Germany not to acquire any foothold
in Venezuela. The answer of this
government was entirely satisfactory
to the German authorities who since
have proceeded with the execution of
plans for coercing Venezuela.
1t is said to be probable that the
first move by Germany will be the es-
udDllSHLneuJO Ol DlOChdueO Oh eHeLuelaD
ports, so as to prevent the introduce
tion OF food products into Venezuela
and thus starve the besieged into sub
mission. Venezuela, it is said, is
entirely dependent on the outside
world for its supply of corn, which is
a staple among the Venezuelans. The
Germans are expected to occupy one
or more of hemain ports of Venezuela,
probably La Guayra and Maracaibo.
In this connection most positive
assurances have been given to the
United States government that the oc-
cupation is to be temporary, and only
for such length of time as will permit
the collection of the debt due to
Germans, thus disposing of the report
that there is any ulterior purpose to
establish German coaling station on
Venezuelan soil.
