WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-(Special Tele-
gram )-Secretary Shaw has decided to go
abroad for few months on leaving the
cabinet next spring. He will be accom-
panied by Mrs. Shaw. their daughters hav-
ing already domicled themselves in Paris
for the winter. Secretary Shaw has not
had a real vacation since he accepted the
cabinet portfolio under Mckinley and, as
he says. Deserves several play days"
He will return to the states in ample time
to participate in the congressional cam
paign of 1906.
Secretary Shaw will remain as secretary
of the treasury in President Roosevelts
cabinet to the conclusion of the approach
ing session of congress and perhaps for sew
eral months longer. It has been understood
in tentative way that Secretary Shaw
expected to retire from the cabinet about
the FIRST Of February next or sooner, with
a view to greater freedom in promoting his
candidacy for the republican presidential
nomination in 1905 although the secretary
himself has not announced his intention to
be a candidate. President Roosevelt's at
tention was attracted to several recent pub
lications concerning Mr.. Shaw's resignation.
and today he had a conference with the
secretary about the matter.
After their interview It was announced
that. at the urgent request Of the president,
Secretary Shaw had consented to continue
as secretary of the treasury until the close
of the approaching session of congress and
perhaps some time afterward. 1t is prob
able that IL congress should adjourn prior
to the first of next July Secretary Shaw
gr, ho hp nj
the present fiscal year at least and he may
conclue to remain even longer. He will re-
main until the close Of the session of CON
gress in any event even if that should be be-
yond the end Of the fiscal year. Secretary
Shaw's decision to continue to the end of
the cabinet detracts materially from the
importance of some stories published re-
Gently that the president and his secretary
Of the treasury differed radically on finan-
cial matters The president entertains high
regard for Mr.. Shaw, both personally and
officially.
MiIIards Quit Boarding.
Senator Milard and his daughter, Miss
Milard, arrived in Washington yesterday
from Omaha and at once went to the Con-
necticut, which will be their home for the
winter. Senator Millard has grown tired
of hotel life and as the Connecticut has
delightful suites of apartments he thought
il would be a change to have his own
establishment where he might enjoy light
housekeeping. Barring an hour at the
capitol today the senator spent the rest
of the time today in unpacking.
Henry T. Oxnard and family have taken
the residence or General Nelson a Miles
for the winter.

sore over Richards Case.
Officers of the Interior department and
of the Department OF Justice are still very
much worked up over the extreme leniency
shown in the cast of Bartlett Richards
and w. G. Comstock, who pleaded guilty
TO violating the fencing law According
70 an item in the New York Sun. District
Attorney Baxter some time ago advised
the Department OF Justice TO nolle prose-
oui the case against Richards, but the
reply was a rebuke from the attorney
general.
subsequently the district attorney pro
posed "a compromise with the law breakers
but ne was instructed to go ahead anc
prosecute the case vigorously. Now the
department officers understand that tht
district attorney himself represented to the
Judge that there was no evidence or bac
faith and that it was on this representa-
tion that Judge Munger declared the de
tandants TO be without moral turpitude
sThe department people here insist ina
