GOV. SHAW HAS ACCEPTED.
Ills Appointment Is Now Officially Announced
Two Members From Iowa.

Washington, D. C., (Special).-Gov
ernor Shaw has accepted President
Roosevelt's tender of the Treasury port
folio and it was accordingly officially
announced at the White House that ne
will be the next secretary Of the treas
ury. There will be no change in the
Office of secretary of agriculture, Sec
rotary Wilson, also of Iowa, continuing
to retain that portfolio.
The date of transfer of the Treasury
Department will depend on the mutual
convenience of the outgoing and incom-
ing secretary. Mr.. Gage having sig
nifed an entire willingness to remain
at the head of his department until
such time as it may be agreeable to
his successor to take hold 1t is sup
posed, however, that Governor Shaw
will be indicted into his new Office some
time in January. 1t has been known
for two or three days that Governor
Shaw was slated for appointment to
succeed Secretary Gage.
The definite announcement OF Gov
ernor Shaw's selection gave the greatest
qualification to the Iowans resident here
They regard him as man well equip
ped for the place and feel confident the
appointment will give general satisfac-
ton. Secretary Wilson voiced these
sentiments when asked about Governor
Shaw, and he added that the Governor
was better known to the people east
of the Mississippi River than any man
in private life west of the Mississippi
on questions of finance.

; PRESIDENTS SECRETARY
Many and Varied Duties This Gentleman
Has to Perform
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The position of secretary to the
president of the United States is an
arduous one. In the rendering of its
multitudinous services it calls for the
business qualifications of a methodical
and systematic clerk in the perform
ance of the daily routine of official
work, and the finesse Of practical
diplomat in meeting and satisfactorily
adjusting situations which naturally
come before him as an intermediary
between the president and an assorted
public, each individual Of which be-
lieves himself entitled to a portion OF
the time and interest Of the chief ex-
ecutive.
The task of handling and answering
the White House mail is in itself no
small one, the president receiving
from 200 to 1000 letters a day. I'm
portant or not, each of these COM
munications receives due attention, the
secretary carefully asserting and
classifying them, presenting some to
the personal attention of the president,
referring others to the department or
person to which each properly be-
longs, while all receive courteous
acknowledgment from the presidents
representative. The secretary is also
required to meet and dispose of the
numerous visitors who call on the
president at times not set aside for his
public receptions, and whose business
ranges all the way from that relative
to the appointment of supreme court
Judge or the governor of turbulent
territory to the obtaining of the presi-

Wireless System fer Navy.

The Navy Department has taken steps
toward the adoption of wireless telegra-
ply as a means of signaling between
warships at sea.
To this end Admiral Bradford, Of the
Bureau of Equipment, has asked that
the armored cruisers of the Pennsylva-
mia class have their masts and higgins
so arranged that the wireless system can
be introduced This will necessitate the
lengthening of the masts of the ships
and the insulation of the metal rigging
by the use of hempcovering. for hal
yards. 1t is intended to get test sets of
instruments of the various wireless sys-
TENS now being operated. These in
clude the Marconi system.

Minister Wa May Return.

1t is said that, according to private
advices from the Imperial Court OF
China, Minister WI Tingfangs term Of
service here will be extended for an
other period of three years. Minister
WI is a holdover, as his first term ex-
pred last spring, and the present term,
therefore, has yet more than two years
to run.
There has been for some time much
uncertainty as to the attitude of the
Chinese court toward Minister WI.
Some say that the court has been some
what concerned over his too progress
i've Western ideas, and 1t is reported
also that some ministers of the Gospel
and others have been trying in this coun-
try to prevent Mr.. Wu's reappointment,

pressed too much regard for Confucius
and exhibited too earnest Endorsement

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
The Incident Is Closed.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles has returned
from his holiday trip to New York. He
refused to say word In regard to the
reprimand administered to him last
week by the President and Secretary
Root for his Schley-D Dewey interview. It
was known before General Miles re-
turned to his desk that he had decided
ST statement ter sns from from him. He regards the
incident as closed and settled, and bls
friends, who have a right to speak for
him. say that be will not be the one to
reopen it. There is no Disgusting the
fact that the cordial relations hitherto
existing between the General and the
Secretary Of War are strained by the re-
cent episode, and it is likely that future
relations between the two officials will
be confined to formal communications
on official business.
