SHAW WILL STAY.
Secretary of Treasury Yields to the
Presidents Earnest Solicitations.

Washington. Nov. 21.-Secretary
Shaw will remain as secretary of the
treasury in President Roosevelt's cabi-
net until the conclusion of the ap-
preaching session of congress. and.
perhaps. for several months longer.
It has been understood in a tenta-
tive way that Secretary Shaw expected
to retire from the cabinet about the
first of February next or sooner, with
view to greater freedom in promot-
ing his candidacy for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1908, al
though the secretary himself never
has announced his intention to be a
candidate.
President Roosevelt's attention was
attracted to some recent publications
that Secretary Shaw had presented to
him his resignation. to take effect next
Thursday. or perhaps earlier, and he
had a conference with the secretary
about the matter. After their inter-
view. it was announced that, at the
urgent request of the president, -Secre-
tary Shaw had consented to continue
as secretary of the treasury until the
close of the approaching session of
congress-, and perhaps some time
afterward. Secretary ShaW's decision

they will not occur soon. Attorney
1 General Moody. having formed a law
partnership in Boston, expressed a de-
sire to retire from the cabinet last
July. The president persuaded him to

quintessence on selhshness for these in

people with whom the Lord has dealt

whose relation to us as their trustees
and guardians appeals most strongly on

At S o'clock the doors of the banquet

the tables, the banquet began.
Accustomed to entertaining on a
grand scale. it has been protested for
years by the entertainment committee
Of the commercial club that the high
water mark of banquets had been
reached. Each recurring year has seen
the mark put still higher. Last night it
was unanimously agreed the club had
seen nothing to equal the spIendor of
the spectacle, and had undertaken moth

The Guests Arrive.
All the club members were seated
before the chairman of the evening.
senator Warner and the guests OF
honor appeared. Their arrival at the
door Of the room was the signal for
the orchestra to strike up and for the
great audience to give vent to a lilstv

Senator Warner and President Rob

Kew Robert Talbot rector Of Trinity

done, the banquet began, and it lasted
until 1880.
At that time the black coffee had
been slipped and the smoke was going

point.
Secretary Hitchcock, of the interior
department, 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
perhaps longer.
No intimation is given Of the identi-

IS not known that the president yet
has considered the question involved
