by Charles BOnaparte.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Seven cabinet
changes and one appointment to the SUI
preme court bench were sent to the senate
today by President Roosevelt, but they
were not confirmed Immediately, in ac-
cordance with general customs concerning
such important nominations. 1t is said
there is no opposition to the appointees for
the cabinet and to the nomination Of the
attorney general, William II. Moody, to
be associate justice of the supreme court,
despite the fact that it was determined TO
refer these to committees. The reason ad-
vanced for the delay is that no message
Of any character had been received from
the president. and therefore, it would not
be proper to transact business.
The first cabinet shift will take place
about the first Of the year, when Mr.. Moody
will take his place on the supreme court
bench. Mr.. Bonaparte will then go to the
Department of Justice, Mr. straus will en-
ter the cabinet as secretary of commerce
and labor, and Mr.. Metcalf will become
secretary of the navy. Mr.. Shaw will re-
tire March 4, and Mr.. Cortelyou will take
the treasury portfolio and will be succeeded
as postmaster general by George Won L.
Meyer, the present ambassador to st. Pet
ersburg Mr. Garfield will succeed Secre-
tary Hitchcock as head of the Interior
department at the same time.
