PRESIDENT DROPS BOMB IN THE CAMP Congressman Have Nothing 10

 "Hurrah for Parker
 and Davis"
HAS GOOD PARROT FOR SALE

Washington, November l5-(Speeial.)- A bomb has been thrown into the ranks of republican congressman by the pulp lication of a letter from President Roose- welt addressed to Representative Gard ner of Massachusetts in which the Pres ident declines to appoint a postmaster recommended to him by MT Gardner. The President takes the unusual position that he will appoint whom he pleases, and does not intend to be guided wholly by the advice of congressman.
 Ever since the civil war it has been en unwritten law in the postoffice de- partment that a member of congress ot the dominant party should have absolute control of the postoffice in his district.
 During this period all Presidents have adhered to this fixed rule, and have promptly appointed such men as the con- gressmen wished in their districts Post masters have always been considered the exclusive patronage of congressman in their own districts.
 In his letter to Representative Gardner the President serves notice that this rule doesn't go with him; 1t is a mere "cus- tom," and he does not feel at all obligated to accept congressional recommendations.
 Gardner had asked the President to ap- point a postmaster of his selection at Hayerhill Mass. The attorney general, Mir. Moody, wanted the incumbent re- talned and the President sided with Moody and turned down the congress- man.

St. Louis, November 15.-Lack of a com- mon language caused misunderstanding of orders given by tn French navigators of the Francois airs.lp today and re- suited in accident which splintered the prov of the flying machine and was indirectly responsible for two large rents in the top of the balloon.
 Owing to the repair necessitated by the accident which terminated yesterday s flight 1t was nearly dark before the air. ship was taken from the aerodrome to- day. When released 1t arose easily to a height of about tfirty-five feet and head ed toward the north fence, rising slowly as it progressed. When the airship was almost over the fence, M. Francois shout

Francois emptied several bags of ballast be could not counteract the effect of the pull and the airship crushed Into the fence breaking the brow and throwing the navigator to his knees. M. Francois quickly recovered his feet and motioned for the airship to be pulled to the ground. The breaking of the prov supports has lengthened the forward guy ropes and it wos found that the balloon has raised too high in front to enter the aerodrome doors The toe of the balloon scraped against the roof of the aerodrome and two holes were torn in the silk covering.

Washington, November 15.-John B. Brownlow of Tennessee. a clerk in the postoffice department. who acted as dis burslng officer of the department at the St. Louis exposition, was dismissed from the service today by order of the Presi- dent. Brownlow was charged with im- pertnance and insubordination, and as he declined to withdraw his offensive lan- guage his dismissal followed.
 While Postmaster General Payne was yet alive he wrote Brownlow. directing that he send to the department state ment of his receipts and disbursements. In response Brownloa forwarded the ag- gregate sums of his receipts and disburse- ments. The postmaster general then or dered him to submit to the department an itemzed statement of money he had handled This Brownlow declined to do, accompanying his refusal with state ments to the postmaster general which were considered offensive. He evidently felt that the demand of Mir. Payne was a reflection upon his honor.

General stoesseI Injured.

Headquarters of the Third Japanese Army, Before Port Arthur. November 15 Via Fusen.-It is said that a wound re- ceived by General Stoessel has necessi- tated his confinement in hospital; that he refused to relinquish the command of the garrison, and that he has issued or ders to his troops to die at their posts, rather than surrender.
 It Is said that the spirit of the Russian troops has been dampened by continuous work the lack of supplies and the hope lessness of their ability to make any suc- cessfu defense of the fortress. It is said further that many of the Russian soldiers are ready to surrender, but that they are kept at their posts by officers who threaten them with revolyers, and that several soldiers who were suspected of a desire to desert have been shot as a warn. ing to others.
 The Japanese now believe that the gar rison has almost reached the limit of human endurance.

BROWNLOW NOLONGER IN
 THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE

Postmaster General Payne presented the matter to the President. who gave or ders that Brownlow should be dismissed from the service. Prior to Mir. Payne'B death no action was taken in the case, and it became an inheritance of Post master General Wynne. When Mir. Wynne took LID the case he induced the President to consent to allow MT. Brownlow to con- tinue in the service provided he should withdraw his offensive statements to the postmaster general. Brownlow's accounts had been found to be correct, and MT. Wvnne told him no reflections had been made on his integrity. Despite this as surance. however. Brownlow In a letter to Postmaster General Wynne refused to withdraw the statements he previously had made. An order for his dismissal was signed today.
 Postmaster General Wynn today issued an order remo-ing Mir. Brownlov iron his place as representative of the post office department on the government board of the Louisiana Purchase expo sition, and appointed Merritt O. Chance the chief clerk of the department to be its representative on that board

NO DECISION ON
 TARIFF QUESTION
President Roosevelt Is Open to Con viction and Will Consult
 Friends in Congress.

Washington. November 15.-No decision has yet been reached by the president and other republican leaders regarding possible action of congress on the subject of the tariff.
 It can be said authoritatively that no decision will be reached as to sucn ac- tion either at regular or an extraordi- nary session of the fifty-ninth congress until the subject has been considered thoroughly by the president and his cab met and his political friends in congress. The president Is not bound by any pre- conceived views on the subject and IS open to conviction as to the most de- sirable course to pursue.
 He ia not inclined to favor an extraor- dinary session either for the purpose of taking up the tariff or any other sub ject but 1t is said to be too early yet to determine what conclusion will even tually be reached.

Russians In Desperate straIts.

Headquarters of the Third Japanese army, before Port Arthur, November II, via Fusan, November 15-Delayed)- Spies and Russians who have surrender ed, report that rations in the fortress have been reduced. The wounded found by the Japanese are emaciated
 Russian artillery shells are made partly of killed wood and do not explode. This shows that the Russians are short of ma terial for making heavy ammunition.
 The capture of the eastern fort of the ridge will mean the surrender of the fortress in a couple of weeks, unless the garrison there retires to the isolated forts. This seems improbable, however. and cold weather and the lack of food and ammunition renders desperate resist ance unlikely

Talk of Cabinet Place.

Every four years there is talk of a southern man in the cabinet. It cropped out at the White House today and will likely continue until the president sends in the names of his cabinet on March 1.
 Only two names are seriously mention ed. It is not known that the president is considering any. Consul General to London H. Clay Evans of Tennessee and John w. Yerkes of Kentucky commits sioner of internal revenue are the two about which the gossip is heard A man close to the president today said that if Kentucky had gone republican, Yerkes would have been secretary of interior. Ii Is expected that Representative Brown low of Tennessee and some of MT. Yerkes' Kentucky friends will urge him for the nlaca anyway.

Henry Berteaux is Now in the
 French Cabinet
CREATES QUITE A SENSATION
ReslonatIon Is Outcome of the Recent Attack Made Upon War Minis ter In the French
 Chamber.

Paris, November 15.-General Andre to- day resigned the portfolio of minister or war, and Henry Berteaux, member or the chamber of deputies. and a success ful broker on the bourse, was nominated as his successor This change in the min istry came after the continuation or the fierce assault upon the administration, Tn the course of which the chamber of deputies was the scene of frequent Wlla disorders. including tho recent personal assault upon General Andre, These events stirred the public to a high pitch of ex- citement and particularly so in army and parliamentary circles, where succession of duels evinced the bitterness. General Andre reached the decision to resign only this morning, and immediately dispatched A letter to Premier Combes. The text of this letter which was given out tonight, asserts that the attacks against the war office were merely a device of enemies or the government to undermine the repub- ic
 Proud of His Work.
 "While proud of the work to which l have devoted my best energies" General Andre wrote, q have too much love for my country and the republic to accept for one moment the hypothesis that am the cause of disunion within the re- publican majority It is by the united ac- tion of this majority that the ministries of Waldeck- -Rosseau and Combes have saved the republic from the perils confronting them and 1t is, thanks to this continued union, that the republican party, will achieve the great task before it."
 The letter concludes with affectionate adieus to General Andres colleagues and his thanks for their cooperation.
 Premier Cor1bes laid the letter before the cabinet meeting this afternoon, and an agreement was speedily reached to invite M Berteaux to succeed General Andre The premier presented M Ser , teaux to President Loubet at o'clock this afternoon, and announcement e the change was thereupon officially made.
 Created a Sensation. The news of the resignation of General Andre created a sensation owing to the intensity of the recent controversy. The opposition to the ministry hailed the res ignation as a great victory which will speedily lead to the fall of the entire ministry.
 Reports are circulated tonight that NM Pelletan, Rouvier and Maruejouls are also likely to resign the portfolios of thu ministers of marine, finance and public works, respectively; btu there Is no con | frmation of these reports. Conservative opinion is that the cabinet will b. strengthened by the removal of the chic source of the present. discord and weak | ness.
