Washington, Nov. 2i.-Secretary
shaw will remain as sec. etary OF the
treasury In President Roosevelt's cab
met until the conclusion OF the ap-
preaching session of congress. and,
perhaps, for several months longer.
1t has been understood, in tents
tive way, that Secretsrf Shaw ex.
pected to retire from the cabinet
about the first OF Februsry next, If,
indeed. he should not conclude to re-
linquish his Official duties before that
time. He, himself, was the authority
for this statement. IL was under
stood generally that he desired to
leave the cabinet with a view to great
er freedom in promoting his candi-
dacy for the republican presidential
nomination in 1908, although the sec
rotary himself never has announced
his intention 10 be candidate.
Consented to Remain.
President Roosevelt anC Secretary
Shaw had a conversation last Febru-
airy, in the course of which, the Sec
rotary consented TO remain at the head
of the treasury department for an
other year, by which time he would
have completed full four years term
in the Office. 1t was subsequent to
this conversation that Secretary Shaw
let it be understood that he expected
TO retire from official life next Feb
ruary.
President Roosevelt attention was
attracted to some cent publications
him his res nation TO take effect
next February, or perhaps earlier, and
Monday he had a conference with
the secretary about the matter. After
their interview, II was announced that,
az the urgent request of the president.
Secretary Shaw had consented TO con.
tinue as secretary of the treasury until
the close of the approaching session
of congress and perhaps some time af-
terward.
In Compile Harmony.
Secretary Shaw's decision TO con-
tinue as a member OF the cabinet de-
tracts materially from the importance
of some stories published recently that
the president and his secretary of the
treasury differed radically on finan-
cial matters. The president entertains
high regard for Mr. Shaw. both per.
sonally and officially.
At least two other changes in the
cabinet have been in contemplation,
but it can be said authoritively that
they will not occur soon. Attorney
General Moody, having formed law
partnership in Boston, expressed g
desire 10 retire from the cabinet last
July. The president persuaded him to
remain for another year, and hopes
10 induce him to remain in the cab
met until year from the 4th OF next
ninth congress. He has not received
yet a definate answer from Mr.. Moody
on that point. Secretary Hitchcock,
of the interior department. also has
indicated his wish TO leave the cabinet
before the conclusion OF President
Roosevelt's term of Office. But he
has informed the president that he
will remain with him through the pres
ent fiscal year and perhaps longer
No intimation is given of the iden-
tity OF the successors TO Mr.. Shaw,
Mr.. Moody and Mr.. Hitchcock. Indeed,
it is not known that the president yet
has considered the question involved
in these appointments.
