Washington, July Sth, 1903.
E5itor Press
The President has offered the
important post OF Secretary OF
State to Elihu Root and Mr.. Root
has accepted. This brief an
nouncement from Oyster Bay will
prove an occasion Of qualification
to the American people who may
rest assured that with the interna-
tional relations of the United States
in the hands Of so able a man as
Elihu Root they will be well safe
guarded. The feeling seems to be
unanimous among public men and
many men in private life who keep
in touch with public affairs that
the President and the nation are
to be congratulated on the wisdom
Of the Presidents selection and on
the acceptance OF place at the
cabinet table by Elihu Root. The
splendid work which Mr.. Root per-
formed as Secretary of War is re-
garded as a certain guarantee of
his success as Secretary of State.
The mastery manner in which he
conducted the affairs relating to
the Philippines insurrect;on, his
broad craftsmanship, as demon
strated in his conduct OF the rela-
tions of the United States with
Cuba, and his remarkable foresight
and constructive ability as display
ed in his reorganization OF the
army and the militia of the nation
have all served to demonstrate his
remarkable ability and to convince
the people, as they have President,
Of Mr.. Roots prominent ability to
conduct with credit and eclat the
affairs of any department of the
government entrusted to him.
Since leaving the cabinet, eigh-
teen months ago, Mr.. Root has
been entrusted with numerous
legal cases of great Importance and
it will require at least two weeks
for him to sever his connection
with his various clients. At the
end of that TINT he will come to
Washington and take the~oath of
office but it is potable that not un-
til autumn will he come back to
Washington as a permanent resi-
dent. The belief is generally eX-
pressed that when Mr.. Root does
take hold of the affairs of the De-
partment of State he will institute
new regime, that many of the
fossils who now cumber the offices
of one of the most important de-
partments of the government will
be compelled either to reform their
methods and to make some at
Tempts to render fair return for
the compensation they receive or
to hand in their designations. AS
Secretary of War Mr. Root proved
cold, but a just employer. He
was quick to recognize merit where
merit existed, but was invariably
intollerant of slack methods of
doing business and gave short
shift to the men who were dispos-
ed to regard government employ
ment as a political "snap" carry
ing with it the privilege of draw
ing salary without doing much, if
any work. AS Mr.. Roots reputa-
tion in this regard has travelled
before him there is some conster-
nation among the barnacles of the
Department of State.

noon on the oath she was in latitude 4t.S7,
longitude IS. so, so that she had sailed IL
degrees minutes. This reduced her sailing
day by a minutes 81 seconds, or made the
actual time taken to get from one point TO
the other % hours IS minutes 80 seconds.
In that time she sailed 34i miles which is
at the rate OF a. 94 nautical miles an hour.
There are many steamers crossing the
Atlantic that cannot make that speed, and
1t only shows what phenomenal burst
Of speed the Atlantic has when the weather
suits her.
The race was practically won by those
on the Atlantic in the night OF the
28th. That day the wind increased and
sails were taken in one after another until
she was finally running under the square
sail There was a heavy following sea
and whole gale from the south southwest,
and during the afternoon four oil bags
were used on the weather side Of the yacht
to smooth the sea. The yacht ran well
and shipped little water, and at sunset those
on board were undecided whether to run
on during the night or to heave to. It was
decided to run and the log says they had
bad night; The gale lasted until the after
noon Of the 27th and then moderated 30
that storm sails were slowed and more
canvas got on the boat. Had she been hove
to that night 1t Is very possible that the
Hamburg, which was not very far astern,
would have overtaken her again, and
might have won the race, as the weather
at the end Of the contest was better suited
to the Hamburg than to the Atlantic.

An excise arrest was made yesterday in a

Booker, though he had no license, was
selling liquor, Yesterday he decided to
verify his suspicion, if possible, and sent
six Of his men out, dressed in old clothes,
to hire boats and tackle from the landlord
and then purchase beer. The landlord
the police say, rose to the bait. and they
took him.
The six officers then endeavored to dis
cover where Booker kept the intoxicants
He wouldn't tell them, and they searched in

Leopold discovered trap door leading to
a cellar. Going down i he found an old
we'll and leading from the we'll tunnel in
of beer and other intoxicants.

HAI1rAx, n. s., May sO.-In q dense

on a rock at Fourchu. twenty miles
wes. of Louisburg. c. b.. last evening
and will almost certainly be a total loss.
She had thirty passengers on board, all OF
whom. with the vessels crew about twenty,
reached the shore and were landed at Four

The steamer was bound from st. Pierre
and was more than fifty miles out OF her
course when she struck the rocks. Among
the passengers are Mrs. White, wife Of the
manager of the cable Office at st. Pierre.
and Neil Mclean of North Sydney. As the
Pro Patria was due here last evening from
st. Pierre it will be seen that she was at
least seven'y-five miles south Of her regular
course.
The Pro Patria is owned in st, Pierre and
had subsidy from the French Government
for carrying the mails between st. Pierre
and Canada. She was $50 tons register.

NEW OFFICE IN EQUITABLE.
Prick COMMITTEE TO SUGGEST
A CHAIRMAN OF DIRECTORS

With Powers Superior to the Presidents
Some OF the MEMBER VIII Nsmo
Melville e. ingalls, for the Piace
Hyde to Control T0-day's Meeting.
A man prominent In Equitable affairs
said yesterday that the report Of the Frick
COMMITTEES, which will be presented to the
board OF directors at their meeting at II
O'Clock this morning, will deal only in the
most general way with the charges that
have been made against President James
w. Alexander and vioe-President James
II. Hyde, but will deal severely with Second
Vice-President Gage E. Tarbell.
Mr.. Tarbell is head OF the agency de-
partment and he has been charged with
wasting the funds Of the society in grant
ing extravagant and useless rebates on
newly written policies. Many reports have
been current recently that the Frick COM
mittee intended to make Tarbell the scape-
goat.
The same authority also said that the
Flick committee will recommend the crea-
ton OF new Office In the society, that OF
chairman Of the board OF directors, with
powers exceeding those Of the president
Some members Of the committee, 1t was said.
would suggest that Melville E. Ingalls, be
elected to this Office. Mr.. Ingalls, Is a
member OF the Frick committee and has
been regarded until recently as an inde-
pendent director, although he is among
the directors who hold their stock through
Hyde. The statement was made last night
that Mr.. Ingalls, now has leaning toward
Mr. Hyde
1t is known that II an attempt Is made
by the Friok committee to whitewash
Hyde and Alexander and sacrifice Tarbell
there will be hot time In the board room
to-day. 1t was said last night that trans
actions which the Equitable has had in
recent years In real estate, In which several
millions Of dollars have been lost would
be disclosed. The details OF these trans
actions or the society's officers and direc-
tors concerned In them were not learned
last night.
There Is scarcely any doubt now that the
Hyde and Alexander forces will 20 into to-
days meeting prepared to fight. The Alex
ander people have been working hard for
the last few days trying to patch up an
agreement with Mr.. Hyde. but without
result.
That Mr.. Hyde will be able to control
the meeting to-day seems certain, although
1t Is hardly likely that he will be as strong
as at other important meetings held since
the controversy began.
The harmony forces in the meeting,
1t was said last night. will be led, as they
have been. in the previous meetings, by
Senator Depew. Mr.. Hyde will probably
renew his offer to trustee his stock for a
limited period, the trustees to elect twenty
eight directors as named by the policy
holders and twenty-four as designated
by Mr.. Hyde. subject to conditions"
Whether the relative strength Of Hyde
and Alexander in the board will be brought
to test to-day Is not certain. The board
may adjourn after it receives the Frick
committees report and reassembe two
or three days later.
