WASHINGTON, D. c., November b.
Friends OF those directly concerned say
that among the changes that will come
about with tho inauguration OF the Roose-
welt administrah ton after tho 4th OF March
next, Will be an exchange of places be-
tween acknowledgement Robert J.
Wynnc, OF Pennsylvania, and II. Clay
su-General at London. This disposes
Of tho notion that George B. cortelyou,
chairman OF the Republican National
Committee. Is to take the postal affairs
portfolio, for 1t is said that With this
arrangement Mr.. Cortelyou will succeed
Leslie NJ. Shaw as Secretary Of the Treas
hry Mr.. Shaw will retire To Iowa. Mr..
Cortelyou's wonderful financierlng Of the
Republican campaign has commended him
very generally With the people who have
large dealings with the Treasury Depart
lmeiit'
II. Clay Evans, before he was Commits
sloner Of Pensions, preceding the fncun-
bency Of the Kansas poet-laureate, Eu-
gene Ware. who Is soon to return 10 the
scene OF his carly inspirations, was First
Assistant Postn1ater-G eneral. having been
appointed by PRECEDENT Harrison, and Is
presumed to be familiar with the affairs
OF tho Postofice Department. He has
two very attractive daughters, who have

Prospect Of Extra Session.
Among the Southern congressman In
the city to-day are Sena tors Culberson
ad Bailey. of Texas: Representative Liv-
ingston. Of Georgia., and Representative
Sims. Of Tennessee. Neither of the se11a-
tors would consent to talk about the re-
suit Of the election. Mr.. Livingston only
said "A thousand OF brick fell upon us.
but where on earth did It come from?"
Mr.. Sims said he thought the policy Of
Southern members should be nuiescent
In the F1fty.ninth Congress until the
safety and peace OF social conditions In
the South should he lnenaced by the
Crumpacker or any other policy. Until
then he was opposed to saying anything
a bout the race question. Vi Il y
There Is renewed talk to-day about the
prospect OF an extra session. Representa-
tive Babcock processes to believe It will
come and that dts business will be to
revise the tariff. Dalzell. the high tariff
leader, Ia combating the notion, saying
that the country is satisfied and showed
it by the election. Certain visitors to the
White House report that the President
listens attentivelys to all that ds said for
and against an extra session.. ands with
holds any comment whatever This is
taken by. the friends Of tariff revision
to mean that he intends to take his own
counsel. and having no future political
axes to grind, will join In the demand
for some measure Of reform OF the tariff
schedules. well known Democratic
newspaper man. for many years corre-
spondent here. said to-day:
II believe Mr.. Roosevelt Is going to be
master of his party during the remainder
OF his tenure Of office, and that he will
see to revision OF the tariff. More
over, I believe thai feesing keenly the an
and agains an extra session. and with
the South among Southern people, he is
going TO do something to win over the
South before he quits office. He IS go
ing to visit the South; he Is going to
Georgia and to Texas. I do not believe
he has any idea OF permitting reduc-
ton OF Southern representation while he
Is President
On this point another view Is that Pres
udent Roosevelt regards the reduction
notion as a sort of desertlon OF the black
man in that 1t would virtually admit that
the States had a right to cu1tail suf-
frage and eliminate the negro vote. The
President was heard to say something
to that effect when the Crumpacker
scheme was mentioned 10 him.
In short ut Is wonderful me number
OF conflicting opinions that daily are
brought away from the White House by
how deeply convinced they severally are
in their respective. notions as to what
the President means to do on vital Nucs-
