TO FiGHr QrARLES N SENATE
Nomination Can't 60 In Intil after Gov.
Ia Toilette Is seated.

WASHINGTON. Feb 20 President Roose-
welt has determined TO withdraw the nomi-
nation Of Senator Joseph v Quarles to be
United States Judge for the district of
Wisconsin. This will be pleasing news
TO the La Toilette wing Of the party in that
State. whose members are highly indig
nant at the President for making the APP
pointment before their leader could have
a hand in the matter.
The President. however, is not taking
back the appointment for the purpose of
modifying the la Toilette followers in
fact he intends TO rename Mr. Quarles for
the same Office after March 4. This course
was necessary through the discovery that
before that date Mr.. Quarles is ineligible
by reason Of the constitutional prohibition
against the appointment Of a Senator or
Representative during the time for which
he was elected to any Federal office the
emouments OF which shall have been in
creased during such time.
1t happens that the salary Of District
Judges was increased from 5000 TO $500
a year by the act of 1903. Senator Quarles
voted for the increase He will therefore
be Ineligible for appointment until after his
term as Senator expires on March I, and he
70 informed the President Yesterday MIR
Roosevelt Immediately assured Mr. Quarles
that he would send his name to the extra
session, which meets March I.
1t is probable, however. that AZ Gov. La
Toilette will take his seat as Senator the
same day, the fight between the La Toilette
and Stalwart wing OF the party in Wisconsin
will be Immediately transferred 10 Wash
ington and through the invocation Of
Senatorial courtesy which pc rrnits Senator
from the State to which the appolntee is
credited TO pass upon the matter, Mr..
Quarles's nomination may he held up in
definitely.
In that event the nomination may be
cancelled and some other person named
for the judgeship before the end Of the extra
session owing TO the fact that there is an
indisposition to permit Judge to hold office
without being confirmed by the Senate
unless such course Is unavoidable
Whether, il Senator Quarles's name we're
withdrawn, any one could be found who
would be acceptable TO both Senator
Spooner and Senator Ia Toilette is prob
lemAtical Mr. Spooner will, Of course.

advisable TO store a large amount of coal
away in anticipation Of labor troubles.

markets

corning the report, which said 1t was In
favor Of Russia. Many persons here be-
leyed that the commission had completely
approved of Admiral Rojestvensky's action
in firing upon the British trawers after he
he'd concluded that they we're hostile
vessels.
Educated opinion recognizes now that
the courteous language Of the report does
not conceal the fact that a majority Of the
commissioners definitely disagreed with the
contentious on which Admiral Rojestvensky
rested his defence
1t is expected that the newspapers, rely
ing upon the reports recognition Of his
humanitarian feelings, will assert that
Admiral Rojestvensky has been exonerated,
but there is a widespread sentiment among
the professional classes that the report is
a blot on the reputation of the Russian Navy.
