ceed Charles Emory Smith as Postmaster

10 o'clock. He will take the oath Of Office
administered by a member OF the Supreme
Court. in the Cabinet room at the White

Mr.. Payne called at the White House
yesterday, and had a long conference with
the President. 1t was the first time tho
two had met since early in December last.
when President Roosevelt asked him to
enter the Cabinet as the successor of Mr.
Smith.
Mr.. Payne still declines to discuss prob
able changes in the personnel or policy
of the Postoffice Department. He says he
has been SO busy in disposing of his busi-
ness interests. so that he could come 10
Washington, that he has had not oppor
tunity to give any consideration to the
work or the department of which he will
assume control tomorrow.
For the present, Mr.. and Mrs. Payne.
and their niece, Miss Louise Van Dyke
Jones. who will live with them in Wash

NEGRO PORTER AT DENNIS
RESIDENCE UNDER ARREST,

June last. He worked about the house
went to the bank to make deposits, and
did whatever he was directed to do. His
story of the incidents connected with the
assault, as told following the crime, waa
as follows:
On the night of the assault he left the
house about o'clock. having completed
his days work. He did not return until
O'Clock the following morning. AS he en-
tered the house the open window. the over
turned flower pot. and the front door ajar
attracted his attention. Once within the
house he learned of the assault from those
gathered about the bedside of Mrs. Dennis,
who had been discoy cred half an hour be-
fore, unconscious and wounded almost to
death by an unknown assailant.
Victim slowly Recovering.
DR.. Wade II. Atkinson. family physician
to Mrs. Dennis. states that his patient is
slowly recovering. Last night Mrs. Dem
mis- was better than the day before. and
her chances are now good. While she is
not out Of danger. 1t is said that every
day brings brighter prospects. The dan
ger of complications arising frcm tho
wounds. especially the fracture of the
skull, is now less than on Sunday, when
Mrs. Dennis became wholly conscious and
talked quite a little. Nothing said by
Mrs. Dennis gives clue to the psrpetra-
tor of the crime.

Again Rumored That He Will
Be rendered Navy Port
folio Upon Retirement
of Mr.. Long.

The visit OF Governor William Murray
House yesterday served to revive the
rumor that he will become Secretary OF
the Navy upon Hon. John ID. Longs re-
tirement from that office about April 10.
Governor Crane says, however. that his
visit to Washington was prompted by
personal business affairs.
1t is known. however that the Presi-
dent is anxious to place New England
man in the Cabinet in the event of Sec
retary Longs retirement He is warm
admirer of Governor Crane, and was sore
ly disappointed when the latter for bust
become Secretary of the Treasury to sue
ceed Lyman ]. Gage when the latter sub
mitted his resignation.
II is believed that In the event of Mr.
Longs retirement the President would
try to overcome Governor Cranes OBJ
luctance to leave business life. in that
he would enter the Cabinet as chief of
the Navy Department.
Governor Crane called at the White
House early yesterday morning. He there
encountered Senator Spooner and Henry C.
Payne, the new Postmaster General After
a conference with the President, Mr..
Crane walked over to the Navy Depart
ment and called upon Secretary Long.
The two were closeted together for con-
time. Mr.. Long later called on

CONDUCT OF PHILIPPINE WAR.
Senator Hoar's Bill Introduced and
Laid on the Table.

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, per-
formed a most characteristic act yester-
day in introducing a resolution providing
for the appointment of a special commit
tee of seven Senators to examine into the
conduct of the war in the Philippines,
the administration of the government
there, and the condition and character
of the inhabitants.
The committee, the resolution proposes,
is to have the power TO send for persons
and papers, to administer oaths and to
sit during the recess of the Senate.
Laid on the Table.
Mr.. Hoar asked that the resolution lie
upon the table, as he desired to submit
some remarks. which means that he will
make a speech exploiting his well-known
views on the Philippine question.
The characteristic feature in the Sena
tors action is that his colleague Mr..
Lodge. is the chairman of the Committee
on Philippines created two or three years
ago for the express purpose of having
charge of all questions relating to the
government of the Philippine Islands. and
he was not consulted about his col
leagues resolution.
His Colleague Ignored.
The Philippines Committee room Is
just across the hall from the room OF
the Committee on the judiciary. of which
Mr.. Hoar is chairman. Mr.. Lodges col
leagues comprise some of the abiest men
in the Senate. both Republicans and Dem
ocrats.
They wonder why, if Mr.. HOar desires
investigation into the conduct of the war
and the general state of affairs in the
Philippines, he did not suggest that the
regular Philippines Committee perform
the work.
They argue that if they are not coTsid-
cred by the Senate capable of perform
ing their official duties the committee
should be dissolved.
1t is not likely that in view of this
belief INDUCED in by a large number Of
Senators Mr.. Hoar's resolution viii pass.

making a speech on the Philippine ques-

the President, but stated that moth
ing was said during his call about
change in the Navy Department.
Secretary Long has evidently not yet
informed the President even informally
of his intention TO leave the Cabinet OF
course, until he does SO the President
would not mention the fact that he would
like Governor Crane or anyone else to
fill the vacancy thus occasioned
There are strong political reasons why
Governor Crane should not enter the Cab
met Just now. He is entering his third
term as Governor OF Massachusetts, and
the citizens of the Bay State would view
with reluctance his resignation from that
position, even if it was to strengthen the
Cabinet. Governor Crane is said to feel
TO great extent in duty bound to remain
Chief Executive Of Massachusetts.
Then there is strong possibility that
Senator Lodge may enter the Cabinet as
the successor of Secretary Hay. in which
event, were Governor Crane to also enter
the Presidents official family there
would be two members of the Cabinet
from Massachusetts. condition of affairs
which, while it is not entirely prohibited
by precedent, would hardly be desirable
in view of the fact that Secretary Wilson
and Governor Shaw. the new Secretary of
the Treasury. are both from Iowa. In
such an event over half the Cabinet would
be from two States, Iowa and Massachu-
sets.
In the event of Senator Lodge becoming
Premier of the Cabinet, the chance of
Governor Cranes election to the United
States Senate might be so bright that he
would be inclined 10 stay out of the
Cabinet at this time, in the hope that he
might become the senior solon from the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts,.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE.
Bill Introduced by Senator Nelson
Goes Over.

The Senate devoted considerable time
yesterday to the consideration Of the bill
introduced by Senator Nelson of Mime
sofa. for the establishment of a Depart
ment of Commerce.
Mr.. Nelson spoke for the bill. lie con-
tended that the great problem of the fu
ture with the leading countries Of the
world was that OF securing greater mar
kets abroad. The method by which this
might be more readily secured for the
United States was in the establishment
Of such a department as the bill provided
for. Other countries had such depart
ments. and thereby were enabled to Sc
cure certain trade that belonged to the
United States.
He contended that without such a de-
partment we would not only be On an III
equality with our Industrial and CONNER
cial rivals, but at a great disadvantage
Such department he believed, would
protect laboring men against improper i'm
migration and bring them into closer re-
lation and better harmony with the en-
ployers of labor. It would also promote
general industrial development.
The new department would cost not
more than $4,000 a. year for all the sala-
ries involved. When equipped as con-
tempiated, it would be most potent fac
tor in the commercial and Industrial de-
velopment of the United States in ex-
tending its commerce at home and abroad.
IN securing greater markets abroad for
all American products. in protecting la
boring mon against improper immigration,
and in securing b. tier harmony between
workmen and their employers.
senator Teller Speaks.
Senator Teller. who was once Secretary
of the Interior, made some further com
ments on the proposition to transfer the
Geological Survey and other bureaus deal
ing with mines and kindred subjects to
the proposed new department
Senator Nelson took occasion to COM
pliment Senator Teller's administration
of the Interior Department. and the Colo
RADIO Senator replied that he was much
more interested in securing a good bill
than in his own fame, and that he was
opposed to any provision establishing a
mining bureau which would take from the
Interior Department any mining work
which it now has.

1t was agreed that, as Admiral Sckley
