will celebrate his eiGaty-second birthday
at his residence, the Grange. tomorrow.
The event will be marked only by the
presence at tho dinner table Of few re.a-
tives and intimate friends.
Goodwin Smith Is following with the
keenest interest the progress Of the Russo
Japanese peace conference at Portsmouth.
The game OF war and the game Of peace aro
both familiar to him. In conversation to-
day Goodwin Smith said that In his opinion
Japan was not entitled TO q cent OF in
demnity from Russia. and that tho Gear
should not pay It.
1T was japan who started hostilities
without a formal dcc!ar alton Of war. Japan
has spent enormous sums. Of course. but
40 has Russia, and tho latter has lost tor
ritory. II the Mikado attempts to enforce
his alleged demand for q, 100000 900 In

Japan will have absolutely no means Of
making Russia pay.
Russia has lost territory and should not
have to pay enormous money claims In adj
dition. II she gives up Manchuria, re-
cedes from the Pacific Coast being allowed
to retain port there. along with some Of
the other territorial stipulations alleged
to be set forth in Japans proposals. that
is all that can reasonably be expected Of
her.
Mr.. Smith did not seem to be Of the
opinion that this conference would result
in peace. He seemed more pessimistic
over the result.

GAMBLING NOT ALLOWED ABOARD
Perhaps That Was Why New York Gave
New Mexico 500 Back.

A story Of a gambling game in mid.
ocean aboard the French liner La Bretagne.
in yesterday from Havre, was denied by
all the ships officers when she got up to
her pier yesterday morning. A passenger.
who is authority for the story, says that the
players we're a man from New Mexico and
a we'll dressed American, who gave his adj
dress az New York. and who was one Of the
first men to leave the pier, carrying only
q hand satchel. The man from New Mexico
lost $50 to the New Yorker at poker. 1t was
suggested by the New Mexican that they
should play pinocle. This time the man
from New Mexico dropped 500 One of
his friends who had been watching the
game declared that the cards were marked.
There was a dispute and Capt. Poncelot
was appealed to to settle it He made the
New Yorker give back the $500, according to
the passenger who talked. The captain

CHOOSING NEW CABINET MEMBER.
President Not Likely to Select New Yorker
as Shaw's 81 Q ,css0r.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l3.-Se cretary Leslie
NJ. Shaw will retire from the Cabinet in
February, and it is believed here that the
President has ALREADY given some thought to
his successor. Hamilton Fish has been
suggested, but in view of the acceptance by
Elihu Root OF the Presidents offer to become
Secretary Of State it is question whether
it will be deemed polite for the President
to take a second member Of his Cabinet
from New York. If he decides to pass by
New York, the name of Pcs.master- General
Cortelyou will be eliminated from the posi-
bi,ities, and he has been strongly "toutcd."
Charles E. Dawes, ex-Comptroller Of the
Currency, now president Of the Central
Trust Company of Illinois. at Chicago, Is in
favor. On a recent visit to Washington
Mr.. Dawes dismissed the suggestion with
the statement that while he had no knowl-
edge that the President was considering his
name he was frank to cay that be had no
desire for the place. Mr.. Dawes Is rapidly
making q name for himself In the financial
circles Of Chicago and place In the Cabinet
would interfere with his money making
plans and hardly promote his political
ambitions, which are supposed to turn in
the direction Of the United States Senator
ship from Illinois.
H. H. Hanna Of indianapolis, whose
name has been 90 favorably associated
with the efforts for currency reform legisla-
ton during the past eight years. is ono OF
those from the Middle West much d.
cussed. Mr.. Hanna Is free from the politi-
cal factional disputes that are stirring up
Indiana politicians. He is free from party
machine influences and close to the com.
mercial interests Of the country. He served
with Prof jerks and Charles A. Conant on
the last International monetary commission.
II, however, the President Is as successful In
conoealing his plans from the public in the
matter Of selecting the next Secretary Of
the Treasury as he was in filing the naval
portfolio, speculation and gossip az to his
plans may go far awry. No one suggested
or even guessed at the possibility Of Mr..
Bcaaparte's appointment unit, the Presi-
dent announced 1t from the White House.
