and now Vlce-GOVernOr OF the 1n1lp-
pines, will succeed Judge Taft as
Governor-G General; and by all, save
those with strong partisan bias, the
| appointment is approved. Both the
President and Secretary Root regard
General Wright as a man of proved
executive ability. During Taft's
long sojourn in this country General
Wright was acting Governor Gen
eral and discharged the difficult du-
ties of the Office with ability and tact.
1t is generally reported that Wright's
popularity with the Filipinos is sec
ond only to that of Governor Taft.

The promotion of General Wright
leaves a vacancy in the Philippine
Commission whichit is rumored will
be filled by Minister Conger, now at
Peking. This would leave a vacancy
at Picking almost certain to be filed
by the appointment of William W.
Rockhill, Secretary to the Bureau of
American Republics. The position
is one for which Mr.. Rockhill is pc
culiarly qualified and which has been
promised to him for many years. AS
is well known, Mr.. Rockhill is thor
oughly familiar with the Oriental
status, he has made a study of the
Eastern question and is a Chinese
student, and many persons give him
entire credit for the rescue of Conger
and the diplomatic progress which
this country has made with China.

will be taken to ferret out the frauds
which are believed to have been per-
petrated on the guileless red man and
to punish the authors. Secretary
Hitchcock has selected a commission
er not now associated with his de-
partment who, with the approval of
the President, will make a thorough
investigation of all Interior Depart
ment employees and of the Dawes
Commission and the Attorney Gen
eral will send a special examiner to
the territory to investigate the al

H. Huckleberry, and United States
Marshal Benjamin Fl. Colbert, with
the land companies and syndicates
which are said to be making extraor-
binary profits out of the Indians.
The magnitude of the work of the
Dawes Commission, which consist of
the allotment in severalty of lands
estimated at worth not less than
$3.50, 10000, and the ease with which
the Indian is defrauded of his patri-

GENERAL NEWS
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

and COnger-The P0SC0mCe
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
The announcement of Elihu Roots
resignation as Secretary of War, to
take effect January l., together with
the statement that Governor General
William Taft will succeed Mr.. Root
at that time, has been given out at
Oyster Bay. 1t is further announced
that General Luke E. Wright will
succeed Governor Taft as Governor
General of the Philippines. In. max
ing public the news of this change in
his Cabinet, the President gave to
the press the letters which had passed
between himself and Secretary Root,
apropos of the latter's resignation,
and which express in the strongest
terms the respect and admiration
which Nh. Roosevelt and his Secre-
tary War entertain for each other.
1t is worthy of note that the
greatest admiration for Secretary
Root is unanimously expressed on
all sides, regardless of party af1ilia-
ton. President Roosevelt, in his let
ter accepting the Secretary's resigna-
ton, says: "We have never had a
public servant who has worked hard
er during four and one-half years
than you have worked, and this is
not merely in point of time, but above
all in point of intensity, and your
success has been equal to your la
Dor" These words of the President
araTTffv rse6SNSG6ted by practically the IN
aiV.ofSress, thus fur
tire metropolitan Po~;Tsss7
nishing a remarkable testlmGfhiiiaI to
Secretary Roots administration.
The succession of Governor Taft
is regarded as almost as fortunate
as was the original appointments of
Secretary Root, who, by the way,
came very near being President, he
having been the choice of Senator
Hanna and other influential Republi-
cans for the Vice-Presidency at the
convention which nominated Mr..
Roosevelt. 1t was, in fact, only
President McKinley's reiterated
statement that he could not spare
Mr.. Root from the cabinet that
caused Mr.. Hanna and his friends
to yield to the urgent desire of Sen
ator Plat, of New York, who, as is
well known, desired to clay Governor
Roosevelt on the shelf" by nominal
ing him for Vice-President.
While it is admitted that the re-
tirement of Judge Taft from the
Governor Generalship of the Philip
pines will prove a loss to the islands,
because it will deprive them of his
personal supervision, it is maintain
ed, on the other hand, that Governor
Taft's presence in Washington as a
member of the Cabinet, will prove of
the utmost value to the President.
The Governors intimate knowledge
of the Filipinos as we'll as of their
island will enable the President to
