Washington, D. c., Mar. 1.-The
resignation of Richard A. Ballinger Of
Seattle as secretary of the interior
was accepted by President Taft today,
and Walter l.. Fisher Of Chicago was
appointed as his successor.
1t appears In correspondence be-
tween Ballinger and the president,
which was given out in full by the
White House, that the secretary's res
ignation has been in the presidents
hands since January 10; that 1t was
held In suspense at the urgent re.
quest Of the president, and the latter
at last accepted 1t only at the urgent
request Of Ballinger.

tary's retirement, President Taft takes
occasion to declare with marked en-

The real significance Of these &C.
tivities, which have been confined ap'
parently to the last 4S hours or less,
is thought to relate very directly to
conditions in Mexico and to the grow
ing belief that the situation there 1s
by no means as satisfactory as the
Mexican government would have It be-
lieved to be. There are persistent
reports that the physical condition OF
President Diaz has lately become sucn
a. to alarm his adherents and that
momentous developments are to be
prepared for.
One report current here today was
that the Pearson Syndicate, heavily
interested in enterprises In northern
Mexico, had appealed to the British
government for adequate protection OF
themselves and other foreign inter-
ests in preparation for chaotic condi'
tions which would almost certainly
follow any serious loss Of prestige, to
say nothing of the collapse, of the
Diaz government. It was said that
the British ambassador had taken up
the question with the state depart
ment here with the suggestion that
unless the United States ook imme'
date steps to exhibit its disposition
and ability to protect foreign interests
in Mexico, European governments,
more particularly Great Britain and
Germany, would be compelled to do
so. OF course, no direct confirmation
of this report was obtainable, but the
sudden burst of martial activity gave
it cilor.

Walter LOWE Fisher, Ballinger's
successor, who will assume Office as
secretary of the interior within few
days, Is republican, and it was said
at the White House today that Sen
ator Cullom, senior senator from H.
linois, was consulted in regard to his
appointment. His appointment gives
two places in the cabinet to Chicago
men, Secretary MacVeagh of the
treasury being also a resident Of that
city.
Fisher has been notably active in
the movement for the conservation of

dent of the National. Conservation as

The retirement of Ballinger and the
appointment of his successor bring to
a close the most sensational incident
thus far of the Taft administration,

battles in recent political history. 1t

STEEL LOOTLOOK ENCOURAGING
Judge Gary Says he Sees No Reason
for Feeling Blue.
Dinners January 10 and II Will Be
Social in Character and for
Discussion.

New York, JAN 4.-Although Judge E. II.
Gary. chairman Of the United States Steel
Corporation. refused to-day to say any
thing regarding the resignation of w. E.
Corey from the presidency OF the corpora
tion he did talk on the business outlook
in the iron and steel trade.
I'm contributions to the annual review
at the end of the year 1909" said Judge
Gary. II spoke with a decided note Of
warning. That was unusual at that mo-
ment. Most Of the other prophets gave no
warning of any serious development of
future danger. What I said was not
positively bearish. but still it did show
that 1 had in mind certain unfavorable
conditions which have in fact shown
themselves this year. Now it is the an
niversary Of that little prophecy Of mine.
And just now I do not feel blue in the
least
When questioned as to more recent de-
velopments inside the Steel Corporation,
in the matter Of bookings and current
earnings, Judge Gary said that while De-
cember bookings did not come up to those
for November they nevertheless made a
creditable showing. When asked for a
rough estimate Of the quarters earnings
he said that they would probably not
equal $30.0O0.0O0. The last report was
around So, ,00O. 900.
In regard to the Steel dinners to be
held in New York on January 10 and II,
Judge Gary said that the price issue will
not be particularly discussed. The dinners
will be largely social in character, pro-
viding a meeting place for steel men from
all over the country and an opportunity
to discuss matters Of manufacturing in
terest.
1t was announced at the Office of Presi-
dent Corey that no statement would be
given out relative to his resignation.
