toms possible successor. For many years
Mr.. Bonaparte has been an intimate friend
of the President So great is Mr. Roose-
velts confidence in him that on many
matters of national concern, he has sought
his advice and counsel. To determine ac-
tely the legal phases of the postal
frauds, the President designated Mr.. Bona
parte and Mr.. Holmes Conrad to investi-
gate the subject. and on Their report he
took decisive action without hesitation
Eminent as a lawyer and as publcist
and consistent advocate of civil service re-
form, Mr. Bonaparte has not been sup
posed to have more than an academic in
terest in the navy. In the upbuildng of
the navy, however, he is known to be in
perfect accord with the President, and
doubtless Will carry into effect the views of
Mr.. Roosevelt in the strengthening of the
naval establishment.
Mr.. Morton's announcement yesterday of
his expected retirement followed confer
ence with the President lasting about an
hour. 1t has been stated with authority
that Mr. Morton would retire July l. pro-
vided the President would accept his reSig-
nation from that date, and yesterdays
statement therefore officially confirms what
has been known for several weeks. When
he retires he will have rounded out ex-
actly one year of cabinet life. He sue

the United States Indian commissioners.
He has also been prominent In the work of
the National Civil Service Reform League.
the National Municipal League. the Charity
Organzati ton Society OF Baltimore and the
Society for the Suppression of Vice.
MIR. Bonaparte has also served as a MEM
Der of the Indian commission. He resigned
as member of the commission and severed
his connection with the prosecution in the
postal fraud cases when he was nominated
last year for presidential elector-at-large.
He was the only republican candidate for
elector who won in Maryland last Novem-
Der.
Some time ago, 1t is said, President Roose-
welt offered Mr.. Bonaparte a place in the
ca binet, but he declined the offer. When
Mr. Morton announced to Mr.. Roosevelt
that he intended resigning Mr.. Roosevelt
again urged Mr.. Bonaparte to accept a
cabinet office. Last Friday Mr. Bonaparte
was Mr.. Roosevelt's guest at luncheon
along with Consul General Wynne, and 1t
is understood that then the President finally
won Mr.. Bona parties consent to become Mr..
Morton S successor.
So far as is known Mr.. Bonaparte was
appointed by the President without con-
sultatfon or conference with any of the re-
publican representatives from Maryland
and without the knowledge of any man
now prominent in party affairs.
Mr.. Bonsparte Notified.
When Mr.. Bonaparte was informed last
night that the President had announced his
forthcoming appointment as Secretary of
the Navy he was presiding over the annual
meeting of the Civil Service Reform Com
mission of Maryland. The news of his ap-
pointment spread among those present and
as soon as the meeting adjourned they
crowded about him to congratulate him.
Mr.. Bonaparte smiled in his characteristic
way when asked about his new office and
said:
Yes, l have heard indirectly that the
president made the announcement this
evening. OF course, l have known for sew
eral days that | would be named In fact,
l think it was just ten days ago that | was
IN conference with the President Oh yes,
L shall accept the position"
When asked if he had considered what
his plans would be and what methods he
would use in the conduct of his office. Mr..
Bonaparte answered:

alities. l shall be guided In what | do by
what | think is. right. AS to the details of

Topeka, Kan, Jan. "A bill max

Senator Dumont Smith from Edwards

of which there is little doubt, the way
will be opened for an increase in the
supply Of white paper which ought to
have an appreciate effect on present
prices. Opportunity will also be afforded
for the establishment of more paper mills
in the Pacific coast states, which will re-
suit ins. cheapening the freight rates to
consumers in that section. It will bring
the so-called wood pulp and paper trusts
to terms quicker than anything else that
could be done by congress.
The law which forbids the export Of
wood or wood products from Alaska was
enacted some years ago in order to pre-
vent the destruction Of the forests Of
that territory. In addition to the white
spruce forests there are also large
bodies Of pine and other timbers
In the territory which the authorities
sought to have preserved for the use of
it's inhabitants.

Special to The Journal.
Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 2.-On Jan. II the
since the scattered provinces Of British

the Dominion Of Canada, will meet at
Ottawa, and parliament will be opened
by a new governor general in the per-
son of Earl Grey.
will make more serious gap in the
house of commons than that Of John
Charlton, the apostle of reciprocity. Mr..
Charlton represented the constituency
of North Norfolk, Ont, continuously
for over quarter of century. Owing
decline the nomination this year, much
ito the regret of his constituents. His
friends offered to relieve him of all the
arduous work Of the campaign, but MT.
3 Charlton was too conscientious poll
,tician to accept the nomination on such
terms; and younger man now sits in
his place:
Mr.. Charlton was not a brilliant
speaker, but his speeches were always
terse, pithy and to the point, and re-
vealed a grasp Of public questions
gpesS b7 70ss re abdp sms to Born
an American, it is fitting that he should
have devoted many years of his life to
advocating such a measure Of reciproc.
ity between Canada and the United
States as he believed was in the best
interests Of the two countries.
Foster Gains Seat at Last.
Another figure long familiar to Cana,
dian public life will be missed from the
house Sir Richard Cartwright, the
minister of trade and commerce, has
retired from the more active side of
the Canadian parliament, and been ap.
pointed to seat in the senate, tho
he still retains his portfolio in the Do
Iminion government. On the other
hand, his old antagonist, George E. Eos
ter, minister Of finance in the last con
servative government, who was de-
feated in the general election Of 1896
and again in 1900, has now been elected
to represent the constituency Of North
Toronto.
Mr.. Foster is one of tho ablest men
In Canadian politics and a very eff
Elective speaker, and his presence in
the house Of commons will lend much
needed strength to the opposition. He
may be relied on to oppose strenuously
any proposition for reciprocity will
the United States, while his enthusi
astic support will be given to any move
ment in the direction of closer trade
relations with Great Britain.
The defeat Of Nh. Borden, leader Of
the opposition, in the recent elections
puts the conservatives in the odd po
sition Of going into parliament with
out any recognized leader. Efforts ar
being made to find safe seat for Mr.
Borden, but 1t is not likely that he cal
be prevailed on to abandon his lucra
tive law practice in Halifax for tn

doubtful honor Of leading a weak and
discredited opposition. Failing Of Mr..
Borden, the choice Of a leader will
propably rest among Mr.. Foster, Mr..
.Osler Of Toronto, Mr.. Clarke of To-
ronto and Mr.. Monk Of Montreal.
Autonomy for the Northwest.
It does. not seem probable that the
session will be either a long or very
important one. There has been talk
Of a revision of the tariff, but the gov
eminent has decided that nothing will
be done in this direction until after
the tariff commission has had an oppor-
tunity Of investigating the whole ques-
0n apa axer {ha a T% 1f of repre
sentative men in all the interests Chief
ter of finance, Mr.. Fielding, who will
be one of the chief members of the
tariff commission, is in Europe, and is
not expected back until February, or
perhaps later, it is evident that moth
ing, in the direction Of tariff revision
will be done at this session.
The one subject of really great i'm
portance is, that Of granting autonomy
to the Canadian northwest. The fact
that western Canada returned an almost
solid delegation of government sup
porters makes it all the more certain
that the question OF autonomy Will be
finally disposed Of this year by the
federal parliament. The northwest may
be eitEer constituted as one vast prov
ince, with legislative and other powers
similar to those of the provinces Of
Manitoba and British Columbia; or it
may be divided into two. ..'. ~
| Minor Legislation.
Among minor questions that will prob
ably be considered by parliament are
the administration Of the Yukon, which
is generally held responsible for the
overwhelming defeat of the govern
ment candidate in the recent Dominion
election; further amendments to thu
militia act in the direction of improv
ing the efficiency and mobility Of thu
| Canadian militia; the organization o.
a naval reserve as the nucleus of wha
some day may become Canadian navy
and possibly something in the direc
ton of protection, direct or indirect
for the cotton and wooden industrie
Of Canada, the latter Of which especial
ly is in anything but a. fourishing con
dition. It is highly. improbable tina
anything more will be seen or heart
of the obnoxious alien labor bill Of tn
last session.
