TO LEAVE CABINET.
Secretary Gage Follows Postmaster
"y General Smith in Resigning.
' Chnnjro Will Orcur Uoforo Spring Got.
Crnno, of JUrtMimeliimotU, Mnjr Ho Called
to Accept Trwisurr Portfolio Secre
tary liny Will Cotitluuo In Cabinet.
Washington, Dec. 21. It is Secre
tary Gage's intention to relinquish
tho treasury portfolio as soon as
President llooscvclt can find a suita
ble successor and he has so informed
the president. Mr. Gage would llko
to he relieved before spring. The pres
ident has done all he could to dlssuado
Secretary Gage from retiring and will
SECRETARY GAGE,
probably continue to use his efforts
in that direction. Secretary Gnge'a
determination to retire was made
known to the president some littlo
time ago, just how long is not known.
In view of the repeated publications
of late to the general effect that Sec
retary Hay is about to retire from the
cabinet, a statement is given with
full authority touching this subject,
substantially to the effect that Sec
retary Haj' does not comtcmplatc re
tirement from the cabinet. Also it
is slated with equal positivencss and
authority that President Itoosevelt
has in the strongest terms expressed
to Secretary Hay his eurnest desiro
that he shall remain in the cabinet
of which he forms one of the princi
pal props.
Will Ho Succeed Socrotnry GnRo?
Washington, Dec. 21. There is a
well defined impression among politi
cians here that the successor of Sec
retary Gage will be Gov. Winthrop
Murray Crane, of Massachusetts.
THEY TURN DOWN SCHLEY.
Judge Advocate Lenity mid Solicitor Ilanna
Declare tho Cimn Should Not Again
Ito Opened.
Washington, Dec. 21. Judge Advo
cate Lcmly and Solicitor Ilanna have
submitted to Secretary Long their re
port upon the bill of objections filed
by Admiral Schley to the findings of
the Schley court of inquiry. In sub
stance this report is an argument sup
plementary to the argument made by
tho writers before the court of in
quiry. The principal points arc an in
sistence upon their, contention that
the first report is the unanimous re
port of tho court of inquiry; that
the court was justified in rejecting
Admiral Schley's evidence by tho
number of witnesses who took issue
with him and there is no sufficient
reason for the re-opening of the case
as requested by Admiral Schley.
In the event that Secretary Long
approves the recommendation of
Capt. Lcmly and Mr. Ilanna, it is
Btated"'upon reliable authority that
the suggestion will be made to tho
president by Admiral Schley's coun
sel that he appoint a board of thrco
eminent lawyers, one to be selected
by himself and one each to be select
ed by Admiral Schley and Admiral
Sampson, this board to weight the
evidence and report to the president.
Snmpaon'H Protest Fllnri,
Washington, Dec. 21. The objec
tion of Rear Admiral Sampson to that
portion of Admiral Dewey's report
of the Schley court of inquiry which
says Schley was in command ,nt tho
battle off Santiago nnd entitled to
die credit for the victory, was filed
with Secretary Long Friday.

Kansas City, Dec. 21. Judge Tedcn,
of the St. Clair county court, was or

to Keep Ont Ynnkeo ttinl"
' noun Men.
American enterprise in the Philip
pines is meeting with opposition at
some places whero tho natives have
stopped fighting, but are evidently
not ready for Yankee business meth
ods. One of these places is Sun Fer
nando, capital of La Union province,
In the Island of Luzon, states tho
New York Sun.
The city has a population of about
13,000 and is 171 miles north of Ma
nila, with which it is connected by
wagon road. The province is fertile,
raising much ilee, corn, t-obheco and
sugar cane.
Gold is found in the sands of tho
rivers of the province, but U is
coarse. San Fernando has r good
harbor on the western coast of Lu
zon, i
Naturally, some of tho Americans
in the Philippines have been attract
ed to this fertile part of Luzon,
which is peaceful now, but their re
ception, in a business way, has not
been a hearty one, according to a
correspondent of the Manila Free
dom. He soys:
"The effect of American justice nnd
discipline is very noticeable in this
province and in adjoining districts.
Everybody is at peace with their
neighbors, and Americans pass
through here often without arms.
"The natives are thoroughly con
vinced that bamboo cannons ivith tin
cans and chunks of barbed wire are
no check to American soldiers, but
they are stubbornly opposing Ameri
can occupation nnd enterprise by re
fusing to lease or. sell vacant land or
lots for building purposes.
"I know-of five American cltir.cns
who have been trying for more than
a month, two of them for two
months, for a location upon which
to erect business buildings. Tho
prcsidente is the chief monopolist
and succeeds very well in discourag
ing Americans from locating here.
"This place has a fine harbor tho
best there is on the western coast,
with possibly one exception. It has
fine natural drainage, is the gateway
to the gold deposits of JJenguet and
Lepanto provinces. San Fernando is
the shipping point for the famous
Niguillan tobacco district.
"If the civil commission will look
up the titles to terra flrma about
here, it will perform a benefit which
will be appreciated by all well-disposed
persons residing here. Oh, for
about 75,000 Tagalogs from tho vi
cinity of Manila to settle here and
tench these dogs-in-thc-manger Ilo
canos what civility and progress are.
"With that number of energetic
Tagalogs planted in this province
witli its natural advantages, it would
become the garden spot of the arch
ipelago." IIIh l'olnt of Vnntnfce.
"You said you were a guest ,at the
dinner party where this army officer
is said to hove exhibited marked in
dications of intoxication.?"
"Yes, judge."
"Did. you see anything that would
lead you to believe that he was
drunk?"
"Yes, judge. His legs looked very
unsteady. They seemed to waver at
times, and knock together."
"Were you in a position to form nn
accurate opinion regarding these sus
picious indications?"
"Yes, judge. I was under the table
at the time." Cleveland Plain Dealer,

A BLACKSMITH'S STORY.
Goodlnnd, Kan., Dec. 23. N. E.
Albertson, a local blacksmith, had al
most decided to give up his shop alto
gether on account of Kheumatism
whlcji hod crippled him so thnt at
times he could not use his hammer.
His shoulders and arms wero so
sore that he couldn't sleep at night.
Ho had suffered for years, but was
getting gradually worse till at last
ho had about made up his mind to
give up. "But just then he heard of
eomo wonderful cures of Kheumatism
by Dooo s Kidney Pills and thought
ho would try for a cure once more.
They cured him completely and he
has not a trace of Kheuniutism left.
The shop will not be given up nnd
Mr. Albertson may be seen there nny
day hard at work as if nothing ever
ailed him.
