SEVEN CABINET CHANGES.
Unusually Important Nominations Sent
to the Senate by the President.

Washington, Dec. 3.--Scven cabinet
changes and ono appointment to the
supreme court bench wore sent to the
Senate to-day by President Roosevelt
but they were not confirmed immed-
lately in accordance with general Gus
toms concerning such important nom
nations. 1t Is said that there is no
opposition to the appointees for the
cabinet and to the nomination of Attor-
ney-General William II. Moody to be
associate justice OF the supreme court
despite the fact that It was determined
to refer these nominations to commit
tees for report Heretofore. the COM
mittees have been pollcd on the floor
of the Senate in executive session on
cabinet appointments and out OF court
esy to the President Immediately con-
nrmed. The reason advanced for the
change in the programme Is that no
message OF any character had been re-
ceived from the President and there
fore it would not be proper to trans
act business. The important nominal
lions follow;
To be secretary of the treasury,
George b. Cortelyou: to be attorney
general. Chas. J. Bonaparte: TO be post
master general, George Won L. Meyer;
to be secretary of the navy. Victor ii.

RESOLUTIONS OF INQUIRY
Senators Pcnrose ana Foraker Want the
President and Secretary of War to
Explain Discharge Of Colored
SoIdicrs-Bourkc Cochran
Asks Lenvc Of Absence.

Washington. Dec. s--The 10th Congress
began its last session at noon to-day. 1t
took the Senate 10 minutes to arrange Its
prelminares and the House of Repre-,
sentatives an hour. The Senate received
from President Roosevelt a long list Of
appointments for It's confirmation, and
decided that as the nominations had been
received before the body had been or
gsnized formally. to make no confrma-
tons until the Presidents annual mes
sage had been received and the session
started.
Senator Penrose OF Pennsylvania and
Foraker of Ohio came forward with reso-
lutions OF inquiry regarding the discharge
of the negro troops of the 18th infantry.
One was addressed to the President and
the other to the secretary of war. After
the ripple of surprise had passed and
Vice President Fairbanks had suggested
that II was unusual to transact business
until the Presidents message had been
| received, the resolutions went over by
unanimous consent. Senator Dupont CT
Delaware took tho oath OF ONCE.
The opening Of the two houses was
". r.ss.l an mated throng which
crowded the galleries.
Not in years has n larger number OF
members elect Of the lower house pre-
scented themselves at the speakers
desk to take the oath of office. DEATH
has been unusually active among the
membership during the interval be
tween the close of the last session arc
the beginning OF the present and Chap
lain Couden feelngly called the atten'
ton of the body to the work Of thu
grim reaper"
Speaker Cannon appointed Repressn
tative James r. Mann Of Illinois AS {
member OF the board of regents of thu
Smithsonian institute vice Robert r
HIT of Illinois, deceased.
The galleries of the House wer
crowded at an early hour. The absenc
Of flowers on the desks OF the member
was much commented on but the or
der Of the speaker prohibiting tn
floral display was generally commend
ed. A similar rule was made in tn
Senate two years ago.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. daughte
OF the PreSlQent, occupied seat III th'
executive gallery accompanied by Mis-
Hagner, the social secretary to Mrs
Roosevelt.
The routine work OF the House in
cident to opening day, was quickly dis
patched, the roll call showing nearl
three hundred members present.
Representative Bourke Cochran o
New York. who recently married MIS-
Idc, was the subject OF hearty laughte
when his personal request that he b
permitted to absent himself for an IN
definite period on account Of business
was laid before the House by tn
| speaker.
After the appointing of the usua
committee to walt upon the Presiden
the House adjourned out OF respect
the memory OF deceased members.
, No bills were introduced In the Sen
, ate to-day. In tho House there wer
IS public measures and $50 Of a privat
character.

LICENSE AND PUNCTUATION.

Nermonts Legislature upon resuming
take up among other things the modinca-
ton of the license law, and 1t is expected
that a number of radical changes will We
made, including the exacting Of license
fees from wholesale dealers Of other
States doing business in Vermont, so that
our statute shall not discriminate against
our own citizens.
Judging from the experience of vari-
Gus other New England States, one of
the problems Vermonts saloons will re
obliged to face in connection with legis-
lation regarding the sale Of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage. will be the sprlnk-
ling Of punctuation marks in the right
place so that they shall not defeat the
plain intent of he law. 1t will be recall
ed that semi-colon created endless
confusion and litigation In connection
with the license law of Massachusetts,
and now a simple but insurmountable
comma Is playing the mischief with New
Hampshires liquor statute.
The section OF the New Hampshire con-
cerned is that dealing with the time
when the people of towns and cities
shall vote on the question of granting Ii
censes for the sale of intoxcants. The
purpose and intent of the law have never
been disputed The plan was that, after
November 1906, the towns OF the State
should vote every two years on the ques-
ton, while the cities should vote every
OF the measure doubtless was that the cit
les would generally vote for license an
that 1t would be we'll to have the mat
ter settled for long period, while the
towns would be more DESTROYS of Shifting
| occa sionally How great mistake wa.
made in the general plan Is shown by tn,
the cities this fan.
The sentence In which the present com
ma complication arises recites tho frs
action to be taken after the passage o
the act, and continues: AT which spc
cial meeting and at each biennial electio,
thereafter in November in the towns an,
| in the cities at the biennial election II
1906 and every fourth year thereafter tn
sense OF the voters shall be taken"
II comma had been inserted after tn
words towns in that sentence, the pres
ent situate would not have arisen, bu
section does not explicitly state what tn
law Is, and that while 1t is general
conceded that the intention of the Leg
lature was to have towns vote every tw
years and cities every four, such an In
tent cannot be shown in the ambiguou
sentence quoted.
The temperance people of New Hamr
shire insist that, under the section as
present punctuated, the towns can vol
on license only once In every four year
and, therefore, the matter will undouo
eddy be brought before the court for II
terpretation. The general conditions b.
, ing almost exactly similar to those pr,
ceding the semicolon decision In Massl

Considerable comment has been oc-
casioned by the fact that the new
Supreme Court of Vermont will be made
up of only four judges and that conse-
some important case. The important point
Is made that in effect in the case of the
former supreme bench. which contained
seven members, appeals were heard by an
even number of judges owing TO the dis
qualification of the Judge who originally
tried the case in the court below. Now
there will be no disqualification and at
least three judges must agree in order
to overturn verdict In the superior
court.
