sented In the house a resolution for

cracies, his astounding capacity for
proerastination. his lncapacity for de-
cision and the peculiar moods OF sus-
picIon and aversion to which he Is
constantly subject"
Andrew also informed President

the breaking point two weeks ago,
when Andrew went to the Chicago
convention. When he returned II be
came known that either Mr. Mac
Veagh would leave the cabinet or Mr.
Andrew would leave the treasury.
Senators Crane, Lodge and Smooi
