ROOSEvELT'S CABINET.
None Antagonistic to His Purpose Can
 Enter Official Family.

Washington, Nov 1O.-The one thing certain in connection with President Roosevelt's second term is that he will have a cabinet exactly to his lik' ing. 1t will be made up entirely of his friends, and with one or two exceptions they will be young men. Neither state
 boundaries nor political expediency will be considered. It will be strictly harmonious organization
 One of Rooseyelt's chief objects dur. ing hls second term will be to transfer
 his mantle to Elihu Root, and he will have DO one in his cabinet who will not give him hearty support in carry ing out that purpose This purpose was stated tn the World six months
 ago, with the exclusive announcement that he would not be candidate nor accept nomination in 1908. The Knowledge that MT Fairbanks also
 aspires to the nomination in 1908 hah
 only served to strengthen the presi- dents loyalty to MT Root.
 It Is Tot probable that there will be any changes in the cabinet before
 March 4. It has been understood that Chairman Corleiyou will succeed MI Wynnc as postnaster-general Dy Jan-
 uary I, but he has told the president that he does not wish to re-enter the CaUIACL, 5lll|A luil1 lA1dL, ODlOly
 not until March f. He has planned q
 long European trip. AIr Cortelyon, though he has maintained silence, was
 deeply cut by the charges in connec, l ton with the trust contributions. He has been told chat a long rest IS i'm l peartiye.
 l After having been postmaster-gen l eral, MT Wynne is aveTse to again be. coming an assistant, and he probably will be given an important diplomatic post
 | Secretaries Wilson and Hitchcock each of whom is nearly 70 years old l probably will not be asked to remain Tn the cabinet after next March. Boil lave seen long service and are quit. willing to retire. Secretary Shaw also may retire, as he is suspected of hav- l ing an eye on the republican nominal | ton ill 1908.
 Secretaries Hay, Taft, Metcalf and l Morton, 1dhd Attorney General Moody will all be invited to enter MT Roose- velt's second cabinet, and the accept
 ance of the. two last named only are
 in doubt. MT Moody had intended to retire next March, but the president l is urging him to remain until next | fall, at least, and it is believed that he will consent. MT Morton promised to
 stay in the cabinet only until March, but he has said that if he is formally 1 invited to become member of the
 new cabinet he will consider it. l Ohio will have two men in the next | cabinet, sooner or later.
 James IL. Garfield is already slated 1! for place in the cabinet. He is one l of the presidents closest friends. He l was seriously considered as ( success
 or to MT Corteiyou as secretary of the [ department of commerce and labor,
 but the president decided that he had
 not been prominently before the pub
 lie long enough to escape criticism if
 he was placed in the cabinet. MT
 Roosevelt does not now care so much
 about criticism on that ground as he
 did the before election.
 Senator Lodge, another close friend
 of the president, has cabinet ambitions
 but they are all directed to secretary
 of state. MT Hay, however, likes his
 post, and beyond that is promise he
 made to conservative republicans in
 order to win their support for Roose-
 welt that he would remain in the cabi-
 net if Roosevelt was elected. It is 1 possible that Lodge may be asked to | fill one of the vacancies that will be I created next March.
