SHAW WILL REMAIN.
Secretary Of Treasury VIII Postpone
His RESIGNATION.

Secretary OF Treasury Will Postpone
His Resignation.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Secretary
Shaw will remain as secretary Of the
treasury in President Roosevels's cabi-
net until the conclusion Of the ap-
preaching session of congress and per-
haps.for several months longer.
It has been understood, in tenta-
tive way, that Secretary Shaw expect
ed to retire from the cabinet about the
first Of next February, or sooner, with
a view to greater freedom in promot-
inghis candidacy. for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1908. al.
though the secretary himself has never
announced his intention to be candi-
date.
President Roosevelt,s attention was
attracted to some recent publications
that Secretary Shaw had presented to
him his resignation to take effect next
February, or perhaps earlier, and day
or two ago he had conference with
the secretary about the matter. Since
the interview it has been announced
that at the urgent request Of the presi-
dent Secretary SHAW has consented to
continue as secretary Of the treasury
until the close Of the approaching ses-
sion Of congress and perhaps for some
time afterward.
At least two other changes in the
cabinet have been in contemplation,
but it can be said authoritatively that
they will not OCCUR soon. Attorney
General Moody having formed q law
partnership in Boston, expressed de-
sire to retire from the cabinet last
July. The president persuaded him
to remain for another year and hopes
to induce him to remain IN the cabinet
until q year from the fourth Of next
March. He has not yet received q
definite answer from Mr.. Moody SEQ
Rotary Hitchcock, Of the interior de-
partment, also has indicated his wish
to leave the cabinet before the conclu-
sion Of President Roosevelt's term Of
Office. But he has informed the presi-
dent that he will remain with him
through the present fiscal year and per-
haps longer.
