Ea-Assistont Secretary of interior
Endorses President Roosevelt.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.l

Los Angeles, Cal. Dec. 9.-Webster Davis e1-
Assistant Secretary of the Interior, in renouno-
inc Democracy to-day, said: IT am great adj
nnirer of Theodore Roosevelt and his policies So
long as those policies remain in force 1 shall
lend my voice to their upholding and will be
identified with the Republican party.
I'm my opinion" continued Mr.. Davis, The
odore Roosevelt is the greatest President in
the history of the American Republic. because
he and his policies are clearer to the masses.
President Roosevelt has opened the doors of the
Republican party for my return. His position in
the late Japanese Russian war was the identical
attitude 1 urged President Mckinley to take In
the Boer war. am therefore back within the
Republican fold and not only indorse President
Roosevelt's attitude IN the settling of the war
but approve and admire his course on all the
other great Questions now before the American
public"
Davis goes to the City OF Mexico on sunday
thence to Michigan, which, he says, will be his
future home and where he expects actively to
engage in politics. He says Tammany was too
strong for him to accept a Congress nominal
ton from it.

BONAPARTE NOT ANNOYED
REPLIES TO CRITICISM.
Says Indignation Oper "OId FROM
sides" Is Unuorranted.
by Telegraph to The Tribuns.l


BALTIMORE Dec. 9.-Secretary Bonapartes OF
the Navy Department does not appear to be In
the least annoyed over the protests from New-
England and other parts of the country con-
corning his reference IN his annual report to
the disposition of the frigate Constitution-''old
Ironsides' Mr.. Bonaparte to-day said that
all Of his correspondents did not know the true
history OF the vessel, and that his idea In recon-
nending the breaking UP OF the vessel was
purely from a practical standpoint and to save
the expense of keeping the aged hulk, which is
keel deep in mud at the Charlestown Navy
Yard, Boston.
Mr.. Bonaparte said:
It was iE 1862, when the cadets in training for
the navy zere transferred from Annapolis to
Newport, r. l., because of the war and I. who
was then eleven years DID, with my parents,
visited the frigate Constitution, then at New
port 1 remember distinctly the commander of
the vessel pointing out TO US a pair Of umberS
which he said had been part of the famous Con-
Stltution. That was some years ago, and you
can figure about how much of the original hulk
is left.
The indignation of the New Englanders par
ucularly and others generally is unwarranted
in view of the statement of fact which I have
made and which be substantiated. The
memories that cling about the original frigate,
as suggested in my report, can be perpetuated
IN the building Of an arnored cruiser, with the
name and as much of the equipment and tim
bers possible as can be used Of the old Con-
stitution. The matter is in the hands of Con-
body. simply lock at the practical side Of the
case, and suggest that we build a cruiser TO
memor1aIze the original ship as was done IN the
reconstruction of the present Constitution

MAY ALTER MORGAN FIRM.
Wall Street Men Urge Reogqniaa-
ton of Banking House.

Certain interests In Wall Street ara bringing
heavy pressure on ]. Pierpont Morgan to induce
him to make reorganization of his firm. A
new lieutenant to Mr.. Morgan should be pro-
vided, they declare. and advance Edward II
stotesbury. of Philadelphia. member OF Drex-
81 & Co.. the firms Philadelphia connection. for
the place. Within the last few days well
known banker has had long talk with Mr.
Morgan on this subject.
Since Mr.. Bacon retired from ]. P Morgan &
Co. most of the work of that firm has fallen on
George w. Perkins and Charles Steele. The ar
guments made to Mr.. Morgan declared that Mr..
Perkins, because Of the insurance scandal, was
discredted, and if the firm was to escape q loss
of prestige he should be retired
Mr.. Steele, his logical successor, the argu-
ments continued, probably would not be able to
resume his work for long time. Mr.. steele
has been i'll from grip, it was said, but his
illness, according to one person who talked with
Mr.. Morgan on this subject, was serious His
absence left a large gap in the Morgan firms
working force. Sir Clinton Dawkins. a member
of the London firm, died recently, leaving still
another vacancy. Mr.. Stotesbury. the banker
argued, should be brought to the main office, for
he was man of wide experience and great re-
SourcefulnesS.
Mr. Perkins according TO certain men, is not
as high in Mr. Morgan's confidence as he was
formerly. They instanced his declared 1g1o-
rance of Mr. Morgan's plans In regard 10 the re-
organization of. the Cincinnati. Hamilton and
DAYTON on the evening OF the day DeIoTe MS
election as chairman OF the board OF that road-
His retirement from J. 2. Morgan q Co. &C
cording to those interests, Is likely TO cclncIoe
wifi, his retirement from the Weep presidency OF
fIe Nyew-Yors Life Insurance Company, WIllcn
is expected by next April.

DIFFER OVER SERVICE.
MAJ BE INVESTIGATION.
Sharo and Wymam at Odds about
Marine Hospitals.
[From sac Tribune pureau. ]

washington, Dec 9-There is reason TO fear
that an unfortunate difference OF opinion be-
tween the Secretary OF the Treasury and Sur
geon General Wyman will be ventilated when
the Appropriations Committees OF Congress
come to provide for the Marine Hospital Ser
vice In his annual report the Secretary voiced
some severe structures on this branch Of the
government service. and it is obvious that ne
regards II as at least an extravagant and I'M
profitable service as now administered The
Secretary suggested to Congress the advisa-
biIity of materially curtailing the service, even
to the extent of stopping work on certain hos
pitfalls now building, and Topping off a consider
able number of the officials on the rolls
The Secretary intinated in his report that ne
was of the opinion that Surgeon General Wy
man had used his influence with Congr SIS for
the agrandizement of the Marine Hospital Ser
vice to an extent which almost constituted IN
subordination TO the Secretary Of the Treasury
It is doubtless true, however, that many mem
bers Of Congress welcome the investment In
their respective States of the funds appro-
priated for the extension and maintenance OF the
service, and they intimate that the Secretary
attributed their generosity more to the per-
sona1 influence Of the surgeon general than
the facts warrant The Secretary asserts,
however that appropriations were made tor
the construction of marine hospitals at BuS-
faIo and Pttsburg WSaout his recontneR q .loI,
and he recommended that TINS work De Itom
abandoned He points out that II was never
