sets, Accepts Naval Portfolio.


Washington, March 1.-THE third
change in the cabinet of President
Roosevelt occurred yesterday, when
Secretary Long submitted his resig-
nation in a graceful letter, to take
effect May l, 1t being accepted in one
equally felicitous by the president.
The change was made complete by the
selection Of Representative William
Henry Moody, of the Sixth congress
sional district Of Massachusetts, as
Mr.. Longs successor in the navy de-
partment.
This change has been expected for
long time. Mr. Long had intended
to retire at the beginning of the late
President McKinley's second term, but
he consented to remain until certain
lines of policy in which he was in
volvel were more satisfactorily ar.
ranged. Then when President Roose-
welt succeeded. though anxious to re-
turn to private life-for Secretary
Long will never again enter public
life-a strong feeling of loyalty
towards Mr.. Roosevelt induced the sec.
retary to defer his retirement until
it was convenient for the president to
make q change.
The news that Representative
Moody had been offered and had ac-

gratulations. For several minutes he

strations and crossed over to join In
the ovation, his congratulations from
that quarter being fully as hearty and
sincere as those from his own side Of
the house.

Theory Advanced That He May
Have Gone West.to Engage
in Business.

Hon. W. H. Eggborn, member of the
Board of Agriculture from the Eighteenth
District, and a. prominent citizen of Cul-
peper, is here to attend the meeting of
the board to-day. Mr.. Eggborn is q
nei ghbor and friend of Col. S. NJ. New
house, and last night advanced a new
theory concerning the mysterious disap-
pearance of young Charles H. Newhouse,
who has been missing since Christmas
Eve, night, and who was last seen at that
time in Baltimore.
Mr.. Eggborn is firmly of opinion that
the young man still lives, and that he
will yet turn up all right. He thinks ne
is somewhere in the West, having proba-
bly, gone there, believing he could do
better in his business, which was that of
a cattle dealer. Mr.. Eggborn says young
Newhouse has often been heard to say
recently that he had an idea of going
West, and he is known to have had an
offer from Chicago and another from
some other point in that section recent
sly. He says that Charlie Newhousc
would hardly have told his people if ne
had determined to go elsewhere to live.
as his father would have insisted that
he remain at home. Mr.. Eggborn's theo-
ry is said to be shared by a great many
people in Culpepes, though others believe
that the young man has been made=way
with.
You may put it down. g said Mr. Egg
born last night, "that they never got. any
Knockout drops into Charlie Newhouse.
He was too smart, and knew too well
how to take care Of himself, and I am
firmly Of opinion thatsahe is alive and
will be heard from later on. Z. .s5s5
