ALLOWED TO RESIGN.
Midshipman Cloud Leaves Academy TO
Care for Younger Brothers.

Secretary Bonaparte has accepted the res
ignation of Mldshipman Preston c. Cloud
third class, Naval Academy. In SO DONG
he made an exception to the rule or the oe-
partment requiring midshipmen to serve
cert,,, ,,eriod in the navy as a condition of
their instruction at the academy. Young
Cloud entered the academy from Alabama
in June 1904, having earned his appoint
ment by efficient service as an apprentice
seaman His resignation was entireiv voi-
untary. and was due to the fact that MS
guardian died recently. leaving to him the
care OF his two younger brothers. In order
that he might be able TO do that he was o.
fered a remunerative position IN civil life.
Under the belief that his duty to his broth
ers was greater than his duty to the navy,
under the circumstances, he asked the Navy
Department to relieve him from further at
tendance at the academy.
The officials at the Navy Department
finally concluded to make an exception II,

IA WHEY OF MINNESOTA
LIKELY TO BE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN

In the opinion of some representatives In
congress who are keeping in touch with
the House chairmanships, Representative
James A Tawney of Minnesota is at this
time the probable choice of Speaker Cannon
Cor chairman of the committee on appro-
priations. The selection has moi been def
nitely decided upon. it is thought but there
are indications that the prospective Speaker
Is very much inclined toward Mr. Tawney
Some of the reasons for that inclination
have been stated heretofore in The Star
Mr. Cannon Is said to be very desirous of
availing the republican party of the serv-
ices OF Representative McCleary of Mime
sofa on the ways and means committee
Mr.. McCleary is essentially tariff expert
and it is said that the question of his own
preference Of place may have to give way
to the broader consideration OF party ex-
igencies. Mr.. Tawney is on ways and
means and. of course, It would not do to
have two Minnesota men on that important
committee. the Speaker has been con-
sldeTing shifting Mr.. Tawney to appropria-
tions.
Nr. Tawney's Career
Mr.. Tawney is one of the younger mem
bers of the House, but well known and
well liked. He was born in 1855 at Gettys-
burg, Pa, and at the age OF fifteen entered
his fathers blacksmith shop as an appren-
tice He subsequently learned the trade of
machInist and in 1877 arrived in Winona
MINI, where he was employed as a bla ck-
smith and machinist. He studied law at
night for two years. then went into q law
office and was admitted to the bar He
afterward entered the University of Wis
colsin and in 1880 went to the Minnesota
state senate. He came to the national
House of Representatives iii the FIrty-
third Congress and has been reelected to
every Congress since.
FOR some years MIR. Tawney has been the
whip of the republican caucus and prom
inent in party councils He is OF an in
dependent nature and more than once has
cen classed with the insurgents when
there has been division in the republican
ranks. His friends say that his aggressive
independent nature appeals to Mr.. Cannon
who wants a 'scrapper' to hold the treas
ury doors against the oncomers in this
Congress.

ST. PETERSBURG, December l. 2:H
p.m.-The crisis continues. The telegraph
tie-up throughout Russia is practically
