PREDICTED CABINET CHANGES.

The Washington correspondent is
busy again reconstructing the presi-
dents cabinet 1t is Secretary Hay
now who is to retire. The Secretary
has not been in love with his position
for some time back, and
only remained with President
Mckinley at the latter's urgent re-
quest. When President Roosevelt took
hold of affairs he agreed to remain for
time, and it has been said that he
promised to stay to the end Of Roose-
velt's term. But now the correspond
ent has decreed otherwise. To succeed
Hay, Secretary Root has been picked
out. Root is one of the foremost men
of the cabinet. He has handled the
affairs of the war department in excel
lent shape, and his knowledge of
questions arising in connection with
our insular affair would aid him
greatly in the state department. If
Secretary Hay is to leave, nc better
selection could be made for his sue
cessor than Secretary Root. We're this
to be carried out, it would of course
cause a vacancy in the war depart
ment. To fill this the correspondents
have their eyes upon Gen. Wood, who
will soon complete his stay at Havana,
and Gov. Taft, of the Philippine COM
mission. However, Gen. Wood cuts
off any question as to his succeeding
to the place by the statement that he
does not expect to leave the army. sc
the correspondents naturally turn tc
Gov. Taft, in spite of his assertion
that he expects to return to the Phil
ippines. The governor is in sympathy
with the presidents policy and has al
the qualities for an admirable wa
secretary, while his Philippine exper
fence would fit most admirably fol
dealing with all insular questions
To succeed him the correspondent
think Gen. Wood is just the man, ant
as governor general of the Philippine
would succeed in solving the problem
confronting us there. This is tn,
manner in which the correspondent
have Strengthened it out. Now W,
shall see if President Roosevelt ani
the other parties thereto will carry i
out.

has made q most able and popular
official.
Oar Reese who has served eight
years as clerk of the supreme court
will be candidate for another term.
J. A. Everett, editor of the Fairmont
News will also be candidate, and
will doubtless develop much strength
through the south part of the state.
Mr.. Everett would make a splendid
candidate for the position.
A successor to G. F. Staples, rail
road commissioner will be nominated.
There appears to be no opposition to
Mr.. Staples and at this distance from
the convention it looks as though he
would be renominated.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Minneapolis Journal says that it
is whispered about the capital city
that Congressman Heatwole has decid-
ed not to be candidate for reelection
and will make formal announcement
to that effect in due season. Rumor
has been busy before in retiring Mr.
Heatwole, but hitherto rumor has
been mistaken, and the people of the
state will hope it will be again.

The law passed by the legislature
giving the public examiner power to
examine the books of railroads,
telegraph and express companies has
been signed by the governor and is
now a law. There has been more or
less complaint that the railroads were
not "toting" fair in the matter of the
gross earnings tax. and as the state
had no means of knowing and must
take the word of the roads, this law
was a result. This gives the public
examiner power to check up the &C
counts of the roads and see that all is
right. 1t is said that the law is dis
pleasing to the roads and that test
will be made in the courts as to its
constitutionality. Public supervision
of this kind of corporations is bound
to come, and if the courts derclare
that this law is not constitutional
then there will be demand for an
amendment to the constitution au-
thorizing it. There seems to be no
good reason why the railroads should
not be checked up the same as banks
are. They are somewhat similar 80
far as being semi-public institutions.
1t is said that one or two railroads
doing an interstate business, have de-
clined to file statement as to their
share of business done in Minnesota
and only pay tax on what they claim
to be the share the state is entitled.
The extension of the public examiner E
authority seems to have been wise
measure and in accord with wise
public policy.

And now some of the Duluth lawyers
think the state will run against the
same snag in suit against the iron
range roads, that it has in the NORTH
ern Securities merger case. 1t seems
likely that Senator Nelson's idea OF
proceeding in the state courts against
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern roads to restrain them from COM
ing under control of third company
will be followed, and it is said that
the outcome of this will virtually
decide the iron range case.

It is said that in the east small pox
is increasing in virulence, though
1t has been in light form as it has
here in the west for some two years
back. The Free Press believes the city
authorities have taken the right
course in appointing guards to
look after and strictly enforce
quarantiny regulations. The
most strict measures should be
taken to stamp the disease out in our
city. and the authorities ought to
have the active support of every citi-
zen. More than this it is a disease
which ought to be stamped out in the
state at large before there is longer
danger of its assuming a more viru-
lent type. This is matter which
ought to interest every citizn and
make him willing to conform to every
precaution for that purpose.

Concluded at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Final r%atfica-
tions Of the Hay Pauncefote treaty giving
England's assent to the construction OF
a canal across Central America by the
United States were exchanged at the state
department at 8 o'clock this afternoon.
There was very little about the
exchange. Copies OF the treaty had been
prepared precisely similar except that In
the fact that the signatures were Inverted
in one copy and these we're formally ex-
changed between Lord Pauncefote and Sec
rotary Hay, a protocol being signed, for
mally attesting to that fact which will
form part OF the records.
Lord Paunoefote was in the best humor
over the successful outcome Of the labors
Of himself and Mr.. Hay. He regards the
treaty as one which will do much 10 pre-
vent friction in the future between the
two peoples.
1t has been suggested that with the COM
pletion Of this great work the British gov
eminent might regard Lord Pauncefote's
services as ended, but It is learned that
this Is not the case.
Lord Lansdowne, the secretary of foreign
AFFAIRS, has siEnined to Lord Pauneefote
his desire that he shall remain in wash
ington for an indefinite period.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-It is estimated
At the state department that fifteen days

Stones ransom was paid over to the agents
Of the brigands.

e~xpianation of the delay. II is hoped that
physical conditions. such as heavy SHOWS
and adverse weather, may account for the
failure to secure her delivery. The ON
Gals are loath to believe that there has
been a breach Of faith on the part OF the
bfigands, but even II this were SO they do
not regard themselves as blameworthy for
having trusted them.
From the frst the United States govern
ment has been adverse to paying ransom,
but in response to appeals from every quar-
ter reluctantly authorised Mr.. Leishman
to deal with the b~rigands. However, II 1t
turns out that the brigands have broken
faith and that they have either taken the
ransom money and spirited the captives
away again, or that they have killed them
then there will be no further attempt to
deal with the brigands on the part Of the
United States government but It's entire
power will be directed upon Turkey and
upon Bulgaria to procure the swift and
