WASHINGTON, June Si. A sweeping chance In the cabinet of President Kooae velt waa announced officially at the White House totlajr. The announcement came In the form of a brief typewritten statement Issued br Secretary Loeb, aa follows: "The following cabinet appointments are announced: William H. Moody of Massa chusetts, attorney general; Paul Morton of Illinois, secretary of the navy; Victor H. MetcaU of California, secretary of com mere and labor." The resignation at Secretary Cortelyou and Attorney General Knox have been ao- cepted to take affect July L For two weeka or more It has beeu known that these changes were Impending. When Secretary Cortelyou was designated by President Roosevelt to be hia campaign manager It was certain that be would retire from tb cabinet uoon hla assumption of duties aa chairman of the republican na tional committee. Just before he left for Chicago last Wednesday be placed In the hands of the president his letter of resig nation from the Department of Commerce and Labor. It was understood between the president and him that the resignation was to be accepted to take effect at the present of the fiscal yea, June 'UK Inclusive. The taking effect it his resignation at that time would afford 'him an opportunity to con plete some work In the department which he had Initiated and which It waa Important he should carry to a conclusion. One week ago today Attorney General Knox formally announced that be would retire from the Department of Justice probably at the end of the fiscal year. It waa understood at the sams time that Sec retary Moody would succeed Mr. Knox as attorney general. The statement was made, however, that, while the transfer of Sec retary Moody to the Department of Justice was very probable, it was dependent, in a measure, on the president's success In se curing such a successor for him In the Navy department as he desired. Mr. Morton Am Old Frteadl In -pursuit of hla purpose to secure the services ' of a thoroughly able and con genial man. President Roosevelt tendered the appointment of secretary of the navy to Paul Mortou. first. vice president of the Atchison, Topeka at Santa Fe railroad. Mr, " Morton la a personal friend of the president of -many years, standing.' He la a son of the lata J, Sterling' Morton of Nebraska, secretary of agriculture in Prealdent Cleve land's last administration.' Mr. Morton has had experience In Washington, having been here with ai. father., - Since Precedent Roosevelt ha been In the ' Whit House he has made more than one effort to Induce Mr. Morton to accept a position in his administration. Feeling that his life work In the railroad business. In which he has achieved success, might be Impeded by his aooeptano of an official position In the government, ha uniformly has declined all suoh proffers. In eonee , quenoe with this feeling, he declined tho proffer of the portfolio of the navy. He was requested by the president to con sider his disinclination. He took dinner at the White House and the whole subject ' waa considered, after which Mr. Morton had consulted with his personal and busi ness friends and associates. At the con olualoa. of the conference Mr. Morton told ' the president he would accept the. poel'Jon In the cabinet. Then It was that the other changes, one of which, at least, was con tingent upon Mr. Morton's action, was de cided upon definitely, It- la expeoted that further changes will take place In the cabinet next winter. Postmaster General Payne will retire from the cabinet after the campaign. He will be succeeded by National Chairman Cortelyou. Secretary Moody will continue as a member of the cabinet only until the end of the present administration, on Marob 4 next, when he mill ttrir tA Miter ti nan the nractlce of law In Boston, It la quit likely that other changes will take place In the event of Mr. Roosevelt being elected president; but no authority exists at this time upon which to base a forecast of them.

CHICAGO, June 24. A special to tha Dally News from Che Foo says: Another demonstration took place off Port Arthur yesterday. Firing began from the forts about 10 a. m. and continued until 1 p. m. The program was about tha same a on the previous day. The destroyers an4 torpedo boats pursued the same tactic and an auxiliary cruiser lay off the Island until the firing had ceased, when It pro ceuUed eastward at full speed. On the some evening firing began heavily from the bluff with much activity of tha searchlights, Indicating the apprach of tor- pedo craft. A ltUe later the sound of more distant firing was heard, evidently from the land side of Fort Arthur, continuing until 1:30 this morning, with a brief re newal at B o'clock a. m. During that period there was an almost uninterrupted thunder as of field guns and volley firing, p"unctuated with crashes as of siege guns. It Is probable that what took place waa a general shore action, with a naval dem onstration. It seems as though the Japa nese intend to wear out the defenders by continued night activity before making a, final simultaneous soa and land attack. General Battle Expected. BERLIN, June 26. Gutieral Gaedke, cor respondent of the Tageblatta In the far east, telegraphing from the Russian head quarters, says that on June 23 the Japanese occupied Kal'Chau and that a decisive bat tle of the united armlua of General Oku and General Kuroki with the Russian mala army Is expectod shortly. Cavalry la Ineffective. GENERAL KUROKI'H HEADQUAR TERS IN THE FIELD, Via Fusan, June 23. (Delayed In Transmission. ) A Russian cavalry division, commanded by General RennenkampfT, opposes the Japanese right flank. The country is mountainous and almost Impossible for cavalry operations, although It is Ideal for infantry movements, ' hence the cavalry forays upon which tha Russians have greatly depended to harass the Japanese have proved Ineffective. Konropatkla Is Retiring. , ST. PETERSBURG, Juns 24.-6:47 P. m. Today' news from the theater of war Indicates that General Kouropatkln Will not give battle to the combined armies of Gen erals Oku and Kuroki near Kin Chou. Doubt is now cast upon the Impression prevail ing for several days that the bulk of tha Llao Yang army had been advanced south ward, though It may that General Kou ropatkln -Is concentrating his forces In tho neighborhood of Hal Chang. The only thing that can be stated with certainty Is that the Information received by the war office shows that General Kouropatkln has no In tention of ' seriously contesting the Japa nese advance on Kin Chou, which would seem to carry with it ths decision to prac tically abandon tha entire peninsula to the enemy,' and aa a necessary cousequenoe tho withdrawal of tha Russian troops from New Chwang. According to the latent reports General Oku's outposts ara four miles north of Senuchen and the Russian outposts are elaht mile north of tha same claca and gradually falling back along tha line of . tbe railroad. It Is likely that the Japanese will reach Kin Chou la a couple of days. General Kurokl's three columns seem to have sun- ' pended their advanoe, pending General Oku's arrival at Kin Chou. They are oc cupying tha three roads loading from 81 u. Ten to Kal Chpu T Tche Kalo and Hal rhAne. wtiAmiA thv par mnv, fur . r. simultaneously. Japanese Position ta Doubt. Tha exact position of the Japanese on ths Ta Tche Klao road Is not known, but one column at Vandlapudxa, forty miles from Hal Chang, and another Is at Cbapanlln, twenty-live miles from Kin Chou. Mill tary critics approve of General Kouropat kln's decision not to tight at Kin Chou, which, they point out. Is a particularly un favorable position, exposed to a flank front Kuroki on one side and to a possible land- I r. a ' XJ-w f V. a n nn Ik. h in,,. Japanese forces engaged in this movement are estimated at 160, MX) man and an en or moua numbor of guns. Apparently two f divisions have left Port Arthur, which) ' would account for tha practical suspension of the siege operations, but whloh may also be due to the reported loss of tha slag ;. train on board Japanese transports. Although much interest la manifested la ' the foreign reports of the loss of thes guns and In tha report from tho earns source of tbe drowning of Commander-in-Chief Oyama and his staff, ths admlrUty; has no confirmation of thes rumor.
