ROOT TO LEAVE
The CABINET
Resignation Soon to Be Placed in
Presidents Hands.
ACCEPTANCE TO BE DELAYED
Action May Not BE Taken Until Con-
gress Meets-It Is Generally BE-
lieved That Gov. Taft VIII
Succeed Him.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Before Secre-
tary Root sails for London to sit with
the Alaskan commission he will place
his resignation in the hands of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in order that the presi-
dent may appoint a secretary OF war
If 1t is deemed necessary during Mr..
Roots absence. 1t is expected, how
ever, that the resignation will not be
acted upon until after congress meets.
The appointment Of Mr.. Roots success
sor will depend somewhat upon the
length Of time that Secretary Root will
be engaged upon the Alaskan boundary
commission.
Taft May Succeed.
It has been known for some time that
Secretary Root intended to retire, but he
did not wish to leave the department
until the general staff bill was in opera
ton and other matters pertaining to the
department were we'll under way. It
is understood that the matter Of his
successor has been discussed and while
nothing official can be obtained it is
believed that the position will be ten
dered to Gov. Taft.
While Secretary Root is in London he
will remain in communication with the
war department and matters pertaining
to the general staff and other important
affairs will be referred to him. II the
sittings of the Alaskan commission ex-
tend beyond December 1, it is likely
that the secretary's resignation will be
accepted and his successor appointed
at that time, and If the situation in the
war department becomes such that
secretary is needed to take charge of af-
fairs, one will be appointed earlier. 1t is
believed here that there will be great
deal of delay in consideration of the
Alaskan boundary case and that the
United States commissioners may be de-
tained in London several months.
Based on Personal Grounds.
Secretary Roots desire to leave pub
lie life is based largely on personal
grounds. His family does not like the
life in Washington and the secretary
desires also to return to his law prac-
tice in New York. The great questions
that were pending in the war department,
relating mainly to the administration of
the islands acquired from Spain and the
establishment of a government in Cuba,
have been accomplished during Secre-
tary Roots administration. The reor-
ganization of the army under the general
staff plan is now under way and the sec
retary feels that he has accomplished
the work that he was called on to do
when he became secretary of war.

London, July 29.-The validity of the

raised today before the president of the
divorce court, Francis Jeune, in the suif
for divorce brought by D. S. Constan-

daughter of Stephen Ralli. a member Of

separation from his wife in 1899. John
Lawson Walton. counsel for petitioner
explained the subsequent proceeding
as follows:

earth, emigrated to the half settled
state of Dakota. became an American
citizen, stayed six months there, fraud
ulently obtained so-called divorce,
married the correspondent there, thus
using the lax Dakota laws for her own
purpose. This was fraud on civilized
Jurisprudence. The jury found the re-
spondent guilty of adultry and award
ed $4,000 damages against DR. Lance;
also found the petitioner guilty on the
counter charge of adultry. His peti-
ton therefore was dismissed

Placersville. Cal, July 29.-Of the
thirteen convicts who escaped from the
state prison at Folsom Monday twelve
are still at large. Joe Murphy, who
was serving a fourteen year sentence
fos robbery was shot dead last night at
Pilot Hill. S. NJ. Gordon. the reported
leader of the gang, deserted his follow
ers soon after they left the prison. The
eleven outlaws who remain together
are making for the Sierra Nevada
mountains, closely pursued by the
sheriffs of three counties, each backed
by numerous deputies and assisted by
company of militia and twenty
guards from the Folsom prison. The
pVrsuers expect desperate battle as
the convicts are heavily armed.
The fugitives are now believed to be
near Placerville not for from the
mountains. The fight at Pilot Hi.
Monday night between the convicts
and the pursuers was more serious
affair than was first reported. They
were practically surrounded by the
sheriff's posses, all four horses on the
convicts' wagon were shot and one con-
vict killed outright The outlaws
raised u white flag marched up the
road with the guards and other whom
they had captured on each side. To
fire upor, them would have meant the
death of several innocent men. In this
deliberate manner the second escape
was made Now that the captives have
been freed the pursuing officers have
been instructed TO shoot the convicts
on sight, and their death or capture
in the rear future is expected.

WILL NOT REcEDE.
President Will Stand on Principle in
Milier's Case,

Washington, d. c.. July 29.-"When-
ever the constitution of labor union
conflicts with public law the constitu-
ton of the union should be changed
This is principle which President
Roosevelt and Secretary Cortelyou have
laid down in the case OF Binder Miller,
of the government printing office. An
other declaration Of the administration
is that no person shah be refused en-
ployment by the United States govern
ment on account of membership or nom
membership In any labor organization.
BY both Of these principles the admin
istration Is prepared to stand. In the
now celebrated case of Binder Miller it
Is ready to meet any contingencies that
may arise. If the union men of the
government printing office are foolish
enough to go on strike because the
president adheres to these principles as
applied to Miller or any other man they
will have to do so 1t is settled that the
administration will not retreat. The
union officers ask that the president
amend the grounds upon which he rein
stated Miller in order to avoid making
a record which virtually declares the
government printing office an open
shop"-that is. open to both union and
non-union men without discrimination.
This the president will rot do. He re-
instated Miller because under the law
the man was entitled to his place. And
he will not change his decision.
To clear up confusion that may arise
in the public mind in regard to this i'm
portant case 1t is we'll to state the facts
in connected fashion. Miller offended
the Bookbinders' Union by his conduct
in the Office, and the union expelled
him. His dismissal from the govern
ment printing office was demanded on
the ground that he was no longer q
member of the union, and Public
Printer Palmer dismissed him. When
the case was referred to President
Roosevelt the president promptly or
dered Miller reinstated on the ground
that he was protected by the civil serv-
ice laws and membership or non
membership in a union is a condition
of which the law takes no cogniZance.

President Roosevelt has again an

Rome, July 29.-This morning Was

RAMPoLLA AND eoTTI.
Cardinals Begin to Show Preferences
for PapaI Candidates.

TOR TdPdI SdnOtQaCSS.
Rome, July 2S.-It implies no dis
respect to say that papal caucus is
developing on much the same lines as
the caucuses held on the eve Of an
American nominating convention. 1t
is now an open secret that the support
ers of Rampolla and Gotti will vote for
their respective candidates on the first
ballot. after which the one who leads in
the vote will then receive the united
support OF both parties.
The college as a whole is fast di-
viding for and against Rampolla. There
|are, however, three classes among
Rampolla's direct supporters, those
who will vote for him, those who will
vote with him but not for him, and
those who will vote against his policy.
His supporters argue that if the policy
of the late administration was Leo's
then Rampolla is the best man to con-
tinue it, and IL it was dictated by
Rampolla then there is the greater
reason that it should continue His
opponents urge that the outgoing ad-
ministration sought to ingratiate the
papacy with governments, not with
peoples, hence when the French gov
ernment showed it's teeth the church
did not have the French people back
Of 1t.
The cardinals who argue thus, in
cluding the supporters of Vannutelli
agree with Cardinal Gibbons that the
church would be strongest when abb
solutely independent Of all political
powers. Those who oppose Rampolla
are divided in supporting Vannutelli
Oreglia and Agliardi. Should the con-
test become strenuous 1t is probable
some neutral candidate. like Sarto,
Satolli, Svampa, or Ferrari Will be Sc
lected.
Yesterdays congregation was mark
ed by two incidents. Cardinal Richel-
my, archbishop Of Turin, attended for
the first time When he entered he
went directly to Rampolla, conversed
with him for some moments, and then
took his seat. Oreglia called him to
the desk and gently chided him for not
greeting the president on his arrival.
Richelmy apologized and the two car
dinals cordially embraced.
One of the cardinals stated he had
first learned the terms of Leo's will
from the newspapers and protested
against this. Oreglia replied that it
was the fault of the executors. One of
the latter explained he considered 1t
a private matter. The objecting car
dinal responded that as the sacred col
lege had inherited the whole property
it would have been more fitting if the
heirs had been informed before the
newspapers.
The Tribuna says that as the fish
erman's ring, which could not be found
after the death of the pope. may be
discovered in some drawer which was
sealed up and can not be opened until
after the election of the new pope,

ordered new one for use in the SYM
bolic ceremony which takes place i'm
