Against Review.

Washington, Dec. Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte formally submitted to
the supreme court of the United States
his petition for a writ ofscertiorari to
the circuit court of appeals for the
seventh circuit ordering up for review
the Judgment of that court reversing
the ruling of Judge Lands in the re-
bate case against the Standard OH

fined $2s,000,000.
Attorney John S. Miller made re-
quest for three weeks time in which
to file a reply brief, but the request
was opposed by the attorney general,
who said that the government would
consent to only. two weeks time. The
court, however, granted the request,
fixing Dec. 21 as the time by 'Whlch
the brief must be submitted.
The effect of granting Mr.. Millers
petition will be to postpone until after

New York, Dec. 1.-The New York

it explains it believed to be correct
synopsis of the Interview given by the
German emperor TO DR.. William Bay
ard Hale, and subsequently suppressed
has sent cablegram ITO Chancello.
Won Buelow apologizing for the publi-
cation.
The World states that the synopsis
was submitted to DR.. Hale, prior to its
publication and that ten words from
him would have made publication inn
possible DR.. Hale having contentad
himself with the excision of several
statements, the World printed the cor
rected copy in the belief that DR.. Hale
in personally correcting the proof, had
affirmed the truth of every statement
he left untouched"
After reading the Worlds explana
ton last night, DR.. Hale made public
a statement in which he said that prior
to its publication, he had warned a
representative of the World that the
pretended synopsis was fake from

Mr.. Metcalf's resignation. He has
been i'll for year and during the
last two months he has scarcely been
able to sit at his desk. Just before
election he had to cancel an engage
ment to speak in West Virginia.
Since that time he has been able to
be at the department parts of only
two days
Mr.. Metcalf left Washington in the
middle of last April. going to his
home in California, with a hope that
he could regain his health. He re-
manned there until September. H.
believed himself improved when he
came back to Washington.
Since the beginning Of his chiefs
i'll health, Mr.. Newberry has been
head of the department in all but
name. President Roosevelt has looked
to him for advice lin the few mat
ters of naval administration he did
not feel he could manage by himself.
Mr.. Metcalf has not been here to be
consulted, and. besides, his views and
those of the president have not been
of the same kind. His has been a
policy of reticence with regard to the
defects mentioned by critics of the
ships of the navy, while that of
President Roosevelt and Assistant
Secretary Newberry has been one of
openness and discussion.
Mr.. Newberry is an enthusiast on
naval matters, and is a close friend of
the president. 1t is generally agreed
he is better business man and ad-
ministrator than his predecessor, and
is in closer touch with the personnel
of the navy. He has long been am
bilious to be placed at the head of the
navy department, and the knowledge
of this fact possessed by Mr.. Metcalf
did not tend to foster cordial rela-
tions between them. The friends of
the new secretary are hopeful he will
make such good record that he will
be asked to remain by President Elect
Taft after March 4 next

Not Affected.

Not Affected.
Washington, Dec. All fourth class
postmasters in the states east of the
Mississippi river and north of the Ohio
river, were today placed in the classi-
fed service, by an executive order of
the president. Hereafter all appointees
must undergo the civil service exam
ination. Postmasters who are holding
office will not need to take the ex-
animation. This applies to Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Mich
igan.
The order, tho promulgated today,
was signed yesterday. Over $4,000
by the order. Illinois has 1,505; Wis
consin zoos, and Michigan 1924. An
other executive order of the president,
signed at the same time, authorizes the
postoffice department to fill vacancies
in fourth class postnlasterships without
the civil service examination, until the
civil service commission shall certify
to the department that it is able to
hold examinations and make certifica-
ton to such positions. This is neces-
sary, because time is required before
any position can be filled by examina-
ton and certification from the COM
mission Tt was stated at the depart-
ment that the presidents order was the
beginning of a policy to eventually In
clude all postoffices where the salary
is less than $1,000. in the classified
service.

question as to how President Castro
of Venezuela shall be treated upon his
arrival at Bordeaux. After the 1gnom-

minister was expelled from Caracas the
government feels that it would be JUS
tilted in refusing to allow the president
Of Venezuela to land, but as Castro is
reported to be i'll, humanitarian con-
siderations prevent the government
from taking such a course. 1t is prob
able that if Castro desires to be treat
ed at bordeaux he will be allowed to
remain there; if at Berlin, he will be
given a passport across France; but
in no case will he be permitted to come
to Paris.
