In Compile Harmony.

Secretary Shaws decision to con-
tinue as a member of the cabinet de-
tracts materially from the importance
of some stories published recently that
the president and his secretary of the
treasury differed radically on finan-
cial matters. The president entertains
high regard for Mr.. Shaw, both per-
sonally and officially.
At least two other changes in the
cabinet have been in contemplation,
but ii can be said authoritively that
they will not occur soon. Attorney
General Moody, having formed a law
partnership in Boston, expressed a
desire to retire from the cabinet last
July. The president persuaded him to
remain for another year, and hopes
10 induce him to remain in the cab
met until year from the 4th OF next
March, or until the close OF the fifty
ninth congress. He has not received
yet defnate answer from Mr.. Moody
on that point Secretary Hitchcock,
of the interior department, also has
indicated his wish TO leave the cabinet
before the conclusion of President
Roosevelt's term OF Office. But he
has informed the president that he
will remain with him through the pres
ent fiscal year and perhaps longer.
No intimation is given of the iden-
tity OF the successors to Mr.. Shaw,
Mr.. Moody and Mr.. Hitchcock. Indeed,
it is not known that the president yet
has considered the question involved

Leaves Presidents officIaI Family
After Coming Session Of Congress.
HE WANTS PRESIDENTIAL CHAIR
Understood He Resigns With Wow OF
Promoting His Candidacy-Two
Other Changes In Cabinet Likely
In Near Future.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-Secretary
Shaw will remain as secretary of the
treasury in President Rooseyelts cab
met until the conclusion of the APP
preaching session of congress, and,
perhaps. for several months longer.
1t has been understood, in tenta-
tive way. that Secretary Shaw ex-
pected to retire from the cabinet
about the first of February next, if,
indeed, he should not conclude to re-
linquish his official duties before that
time. He himself, was the authority
for this statement. 1t was under
stood generally that he desired to
leave the cabinet with a view to great
er freedom in promoting his candi-
dacy for the republican presidential
nomination in 1908, although the Sec
rotary himself never has announced
his intention to be a candidate.
Consented to Remain.
President Roosevelt anC Secretary
Shaw had a conversation last Febru-
airy, in the course of which, the Sec
rotary consented to remain at the head
of the treasury department for an
other year, by which time he would
have completed full four years term
in the Office. 1t was subsequent to
this conversation that Secretary Shaw
let it be understood that he expected
to retire from official life next Feb
ruary.
President Roosevelts 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
Monday he had a conference with
the secretary about the matter. After
their interview, it was announced that,
a. the urgent request of the president,
Secretary Shaw had consented to con.
tinue as secretary of the treasury until
the close of the approaching session
of congress and perhaps some time af-
terward.

Isle of Pines coIonists saueIched.

Washington.--In reply to letter
from Charles Raynard, secretary OF
the American Club of the Isle of Pines,
asking information in regard to the
necessary form of procedure to estab-
lish a territorial form of government
for the island, Secretary of State
Root wrote:
There is no procedure by which you
and your associates can lawfully es-
tablish territorial government
in that island The island is
lawfully subject to the control and gov
ernment of the republic of Cuba, and
you and your associates are bound to
render obedience to the laws of that
country so long as you remain in the
island. You are not likely to have any
greater power in the future. The
treaty now pending before the Senate,
if approved by that body. will relin-
quish all claim of the United States to
the Isle of Pines

Favor President RooseveIt's Railroad
Policy.

Denyer.-The following strong reso-

adopted at the meeting of the Colorado

ton Tuesday evening"
Resolved, That the executive com
mittee of the Colorado Cattle and
Horse Growers Association call the
attention of our senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress to the fact that
the members of our organization are
heartily in favor of the Legislation de-
manded by President Roosevelt; that

government has no business to tax
them for grazing privileges in forest
reserves and they were not slow tell
ing A. F. Potter, forest inspector,
about it. They will formulate strong
resolutions and send them to Clifford
Pinchot, head of the Forestry Bureau,
and it is expected that the meeting at
Glenwood Springs December 1st will
appeal to President Roosevelt against
the extortion, as 1t was termed.
Numerous resolutions were passed
at the meeting. Among those was one
asking that the state take whatever
means necessary to retain Prof. w. /.

whose work was heartily praised. 1t
was also suggested that he be made
director of the experiment station.
A resolution was passed asking the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals to desist opposition TO the
attempt to have Congress extend the
time limit for keeping cattle in cars
from twenty-eight to thirty-six hours.
The cattlemen say that there is more
cruelty loading and unloading cattle
than in keeping them confined a few
hours extra.
1t was decided to ask that the ma
tional investigation of loco weed and
its effect upon cattle be continued.
The date of the annual convention of
the association was placed for January
29th, in Denver, farmers week.

CONGRESS IN SESSION.
Quiet Opening of Fifty-ninth Congress
at WASHINGTON.

Washington.-The assembling Mon
day of the members of the Fiftyninth
Congress for their session was marked
by no unusual incidents, but it at
tracted to the capitol crowds of spec
tators who took a lively interest in the
proceedings.
In the Senate the proceedings were
brief. but most of the SPECTATORS
seemed to find quite as much to inter
est them in observing the senators who
remained on the floor after adjourn
ment as they could have experienced
had the session continued longer.
The house was in session for more
than three hours, and while the pro-
ceedings followed the program that
has marked the opening of Congress
for many years, there was enough in
terest to hold an exceptionally large
audience during the entire time
One noticeable feature was the alb
sence of flowers, which heretofore
have been common to both chambers.
The preliminary steps to organiza-
ton were taken by the house. Joseph
G. Cannon of Illinois was reelected
speaker; the members of the house
took the oath of Office; the officers and
floor employees of the body We're re-
elected.

The striking telegraphers threaten in
case reprisals are made against them
to destroy the government lines.
Military disturbances are occurring
In the government of Lomzha. At
Zembroff the army reserve men have
mutinied, demanding to be returned
home. Troops were sent from LON
zha to quel the riot, but they declare
they will not shoot their comrades if
ordered to do so. Serious distur-
Dances have taken place among the
troops garrisoning the fortress of Os-
sowiec.
ST. observation-disclosures from Niko-
laieff, Ekaterinoslav and Odessa ar
rived Sunday, bringing Overwhelming
evidence of the conniyance and even
the participation of the military and
the police in anti-Jewish excesses. The
members OF the unions are greatly in
censed at this, and speeches have been
made at their meetings calling on the
proletariat to erect barricades.
Reports have reached several of the
embassies of military outbreaks in the
Baltic provinces, particularly at Reval,
where the reservists are said to be in
open mutiny. Confirmation of these re-
ports cannot be obtained. Prince Et-
gene Troubetskoy NJ. Guchkoff,
Dmitri Shipoff and other leaders of the
recent zemstvo congress held at Mos
COW, have arrived here.
No additional details of the con
fiagration said to have started at Mos
COW have been received. Rumors of
plots to overthrow Count Witte are
prevalent.
This morning newsboys were openly
hawking fysheets in the streets con-
tanning an account of an alleged re-
volt at Tsarskoe-Selo and crying out
"The Emperof's palace guard has
mutinied."
The air is also filed with stories OF
the alleged revolution at the palace
Friday. in which Grand Duke Boris is
said to have attempted the life of the
Emperor. These stories likewise are
untrue. but they prove that revolu-
tion in the palace is considered posi-
bic at any time.
Count Witte continues to refuse to
deal with the telegraphers, declaring
that for the government to yield would
be equivalent to its abdication at their
order.

Hunters of Men.

Milwaukee. Wis.-The hunting sea
son Just closed in Wisconsin and
northern Michigan shows record of
seventy-eight killed and wounded by
the use of firearms. Since the opening
of the deer hunting season four men
have been killed and sixteen wounded
in accidents for which deer hunters
were responsible. The remainder of
the accidents came from the careless
use or guns by hunters.
Taking the killed and wounded for
the deer season alone, it is much
smaller than in former years, probably
owing to che publication of former
casualties.
