of the United States at New York. Mr.
Plimley was indorsed for this position by
the presidents of the Seaboard National
Bank, the Irving National Bank, the I'm
porters and Traders National Bank, the
United States Mortgage and Trust Com.
pany, the Colonial Bank and the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance Company, all OF
New York. He was also indorsed by Off
Gals of the Seventh National Bank and the
Mechanics and Traders Bank OF New York
city, as we'll as by other prominent repre-
sentatives of business interests in New
York
The President received word from Robert
Bacon Of New York yesterday afternoon
that he could not accept the offer of the
subtreasuryship recently made to him. The
President thereupon gave immediate consid-
Grafton to selecting another man, and con-
cluded that Mr.. Plimley was the proper
person. Senator Platt called upon the Sec
retary of the Treasury this morning and
the nomination Of Mr.. Plimley was dis
cussed. Senator Platt had no objection to
Mr.. Plimley, and after discussion Of the
nomination at the cabinet session it was
sent to the Senate.
Mr.. Plimley has been in business in New
York for some time. He was at one time
In charge of the money order department
OF the New York post Office. from which
position he was dismissed by President
Cleveland in his last term
Wyoming is for Roosevelt.
There is wide difference of opinion
among Wyoming republicans as to whether
there Is any hostile sentiment to President
Roosevelt in that state as a result of the
administration policy as to forest and game
preserves. Governor Richarus recent In
terview indicating opposition on the part
OF some republicans to the President is not
shared by Representative Mondell and
members of the republican organization of
wyoming. Mr.. Mondell called on the Pres
1dent today, with j. A. Van Orsdel, attor-
ney general Of Wyoming and for three
state committee, and Ed. H. Stable, chair
man of the county committee of Laramie
county, men Of influence in the republican
party of the state. All three Of the callers
assured the President that they are ignor-
ant OF any estrangement from him among
republicans Of their state, and do not be-
lieve there is or will be any. There is no
Indication, so far as l have been able to
ascertain" said Mr.. Mondell, that the
President has any fewer admirers and
friends now than when he was cordially
indorsed by the state convention last year
for the nomination for the presidency next
year. He Is strong throughout the state,
and there Is NO doubt in my mind that he
will have the Wyoming delegation next
year. There may be some dissatisfaction
over the enforcement of regulations as to
reserves, but the President cannot be
charged with these. The trouble is that
every drastic rule or regulation OF the
forestry Office is credited by general report
as having originated with the President
L think 1t likely that Governor Richards, as
Well as many others in Wyoming. is attrib-
uting to the President responsibility for an
unsatisfactory bill for creation Of forest
reserves that passed the Senate at the last
session and was reported favorably by the
House committee upon a narrow majority
opposed this bill strongly, and pointed
out its errors. The Presidents position on
forest and game preserves Is generally
known and commended, but it is not fair
that he pe credited with every action of the
forestry bureau or Of minor officials of
some department.
The President expressed satisfaction with
the emphatic assurances of his callers.
No Trouble in Michigan.
Senator Burrows visited the President to-
day and cordially added his Endorsement to
that of Senator Alger for Gen. L. S. Trow-
bridge for appraiser at Detroit. The CO.
operation Of the two Michigan senators in
this appointment will be a disappointment
to the people who have been indulging In
speculative stories to serious factional
differences in Michigan, and particularly
squirting in the direction of lack of har-
mony between the two senator's. Senator
Alger had some trouble with few of the
members of the old Michigan machine, but
had his way in an important appointment
Then it was stated that Senator Burrows
had allied himself with the organization of
the late Senator Mcmillan and now headed
by his son. Senator Burrows has told the
President. 1t Is stated on good authority,
that there are no factional troubles in the
state and that he and Senator Alger are in
ho nny1y q INN ont fI,Ny
than that the President received Senator
Burrows promise that the Michigan dele
cation will be for him for the republican
presidential nomination in 1904.
Maj. Edwards to Be Cared For.
The President has decided to give a po-
sition in the new Department of Commerce
and Labor somewhere else In the govern
ment service to Major A. W. Edwards, a
well-known newspaper man of Fargo, s. d.
Major Edwards Is one OF the Oldest and
most influential newspaper men In that
state. Senator Hansbrough has for a long
time sought an appointment for him, but
there was no opening that the President
could see.
Senator Cockrell presented Senator Stone,
his new colleague from Missouri
The Cabinet Session.
Today's session of the cabinet was COM
paratively brief and unimportant. All the
were present except Secretaries
Hay and Root, both of whom are absent
from the city. Secretary Moody and Post
master General Payne will leave this after
noon for an extended trip to the West In
dies. AS they will be absent for several
weeks, both of them cleared up some pend
ing departmental matters Of minor import
ance.
Secretary Shaw discussed with the Presi-
dent and the cabinet the existing financial
in New York and the ADVISABLE
ty of the treasury taking some action to
relieve 1t. At the conclusion Of the meet
ing Secretary Shaw declined to discuss the
for publica.-on.
