SECRETARY OF INTERIOR TENDERS
RESIGNATION.
Said He Will Be Succeeded By
James R. Garfield, Now Com
missioner of Corporations-Ou Out.
going Secretary's Term Noted
for Warfare on Land Graft.

Washingtou, Nov. 6.-Tho reGiQna-
+;on Of Ethan Allen Hitchcock al SEQ
ratary of the interior, announced from
+be White House yesterday, will, when
Il becomes effective March 4, 1907.
close an unusual career in the interior
dnesltment. Mr.. Hitchcock will have
held Office longer hy at least two years
than any predecessor, and this in spite
If almost continuous efforts on the
mart of aiscreditable interests to force
him out of the department.
He had hardly entered upon the du-
ties of his present Office when it be-
came evident that he intended to wage
a relentless warfare against all sorts
Of grafters, high and low, and he made
many enemies whom his friends and
supporters have always declared were
q credit to him.
Both President Mckinley and Presi-
dent Roosevelt repeatedly declined to
listen to men, some of them occupying
high places in the national legislature,
who sought to force Mr.. Hitchcock
ont of the cabinet, and both are on
record many times in cordial support
of his vigorous and fearless manner
of administering the aaffirs of his de-
partment.
The statement from the White
House regarding Mr.. Hitchcock says:
"The secretary of the interior, Mr..
Hitchcock, has informed the president
that he would be unable to stay after
March 4. Mr.. Hitchcock has for soma
time felt that the very exhausting work
he has been engaged in for over eight
years in the interior department was
wearing on him 80 as to make 1t i'm
possible for him much longer to re-
main.
cat the presidents urgent request
he consented to- accept reappoint-
ment on March 4, 1906, at the time of
the presidents Inauguration. But he
then stated that he could not say he
could stay, and he feels now he must
insist on being relieved after March 4.
The president urged him to accept
the smbassadorship to France. but
Mr.. Hitchcock feels that he is entitled
to absolute rest, and was obliged to
refuse the Office"
James R. Garfield, of Ohio, at pres
ent commissioner of corporations. will
succeed Mr.. Hitchcock. Herbert
Knox Smith, now assistant commits
sioner of corporations, will be appoint
ed TO Mr.. Garfleld's place.
When Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Meyer
enter the cabinet President Roosevelt,
In his six years presidency. will have
had twenty men as members of bis
cabinet, and he will have made twenty
six changes in the distribution of port
folios. This, it is believed, breaks
the record.

MUTINY and RIOT
BY BRITISH SAILORS

Portsmouth, England, Nov. Ga
mutinous outbreak of 500 sailors last
night necessitated the Immediate mo-
bllization of the entire force in tho
naval barracks to prevent the affair
from developing into serious mutiny.
The men had Assem- bled in the gym
nasium, when the senior officer, q
man of small stature, wishing to ad-
minister reprimand for breach OF
discipline, ordered the front ranks to
kneel SO that he could see the men in
the rear. The order was resented,
and some of the sailors who refused to
agree were arrested.
Their comrades, aggrieved, ran
amuck, wrecked the canteen and start
cd to break out Of the barracks, with
the intention of wrecking the quar-
'ers OF the obnoxious officer, and we're
only prevented from 80 doing by the
a&ed bayonets of an overwhelming
force.

Oteak out Of the barracks were arrest

fight with e. b. Hartman for control
of the Illinois Central railroad. Har-
riman il victor. Fish's friends admit
that their leader has lost. Had Fish

friend, ]. T. Harahan, theresult. might
have been different. Harahan Il be-
lieved to have joined the Hartman

however, he aa1d that he was not q
Hartman man and the hopes Of the
Fish followers revived.
Saturday night Mr.. Fish arrived in
Chicago on his way to New Orleans.
Some time after midnight a mes
sage was handed to him announcing
that q directors meeting had been
called in New York for Wednesday to
elect executive officers for the railroad.
Fish HurTies to New York
The president Of the company, Mr..
Fish, had known of no such meeting.
The intention, the men say, was plain
~ to push through the Hartman pro-
gram in Fish's absence. The meeting
was called by three directors. One of
them wassJ. T. Harahan. Fish's first
move was to arrange for a special
train, on which he left for New York
last night. His second was to ask for
an interview with Harahan, now Sec
ond vice president OF the Illinois Gen.
trail and soon to be president by virtue
OF Harriman's command.
Those who saw yesterdays meeting
between Fish and Harahan say it was
without a touch Of the dramatic. Fish
came straight to the point. Was Har-
ahan to forget friendship of seven
teen years standing to join Hartman
in deposing his former chief
Just what was the nature Of Hara-
hans reply is not stated. It's tenor
was unfavorable, however.
Harahan says he cannot sec that
the outcome Of the fight depends on
his vote. Fish Is positive that it does,
as the directors stand as follows:
For Fish-Deneen, yelling, Out
ting, Beach and Fish.
For Harriman-Peabody, Auching
lose, Luttgen, Goelet, Hartman and
Harahan.
Doubtful-Astor, Vanderbilt.
Doubtful Directors
The Fish men say they have no
hope Of Cornelius Vanderbilt. They
point out that Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who
represent Hartman in the Illinois
Central deal, financed his interborough
interests in which his fortune is at
stake. They do not think he will dare,
even il he wished, enter the arena
against the firm which they say holds
the reins over his traction interests.
On Astor the Fish interests counted
and there has been talk to the effect
that Deneen, who. as governor OF ILL
nois, holds membership on the board,
might cast the deciding vote. The
Fish men agree that this Is impossible.
They count ON him, but even with
him they say Harahan will also be
needed. The governor may even be
absent from the state on election day,
however. it is said, to cast his vote at
the choice of the Central's president.
After his interview with ]. T. Hara-
han. President Fish said:
''Mr. Ha-ahan is q candidate for the
presidency of the Illinois Central ;"
