TIIE.MORXIXG OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER, 3, 1900. MOODY iD SHAW WILL SOOfl RESIGN Meyer Will Take One of Vacant Places in President's Cabinet. MOODY NOT TO BE JUDGE Massachusetts Already Has Holmes on Supreme Pencil Hoyt, of. Pennsylvania Talked of for Attorney-General. WASHINGTON,- Oct. 2. (Special.) Two retirements from the President's Cabinet are slated for the coming Winter. They are thoso of Attorney-General Moody, whose resignation will become effective about December 1, and Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who, according to pres ent Intentions, will retire In February. For one of the vacancies to be created the President will nominate George Von L. Meyer, American Ambassador to Russia, but for tho other he Is not yet rearly to announce a successor. Mr. Roosevelt has sought to prevail on Mr. Moody to remain In the Cabinet, but the latter, because of business arrange ments, has found It Impossible to do so. He would also like to have Secretary Bonaparte take Mr. Moody's place 'when the latter retires, but the former prefers the position at the head of the Navy De partment, with whose workings he has become thoroughly familiar. Some suggestions have been made that Secretary Metcalf, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, take one of the, positions to be made vacant In the pro posed shifting of Cabinet officers, but he also has expressed a preference to re main where he is. Moody Not for Supreme Court. The President also Is considering the selection of a successor to Justice Brown, of the Supreme Court. Regarding both of these matters. It Is possible to give tonight some Inside Information. Secre tary Taft Is not going on the Supreme bench; nor Is Justice Brown's successor likely to be Mr. Moody. The President would like to appoint his Attorney-General to the high judicial va cancy and probably is flaterred only by geographical considerations. Not that the President himself has any prejudice against the presence of Justices from the same state on the Supreme bench, but he realizes he would have a hard fight on his hands were he to name a man from Massachusetts while Justice Holmes, also from that state, hoUls his seat. Hoyt May Get Judgeship. A conference between the President and Senator Knox this evening is be lieved to have dealt with the Supreme Court vacancy, and has created a rumor that Solicitor-General Hoyt, of Pennsyl vania, i.s likely to be slated to fill It. In making It known that he would like to reward his Attorney-General, the Presi dent practically admits that his. former choice that of bis Secretary of War to succeed Justice Brown is no longer under consideration. Before a selection is made, however. Mr. Taft is to be consulted. No appointment will be made until Congress meets In Decembtr. so that from its meet ing next week until perhaps the first of next year, the Supreme bench will be short one member. Moves on Checkerboard, - The situation confronting the President Is a good deal like a checkerboard. A shifting of men all round, although only two new personalities are to be added to the council boad. Is in prospect. If Mr. Bonaparte be transferred from his present position, then there Is the likelihood of Mr. Meyers being maile Secretary of the Navy according to the original pro gramme. But if no change be made in the navy portfolio, Mr. Meyer may succeed Mr. Shaw as head of the Treasury De partment. The President will go outside his present circle of advisers in deciding upon a Secretary of the Treasury, ac cording to present plans, and two or three persons aside from Mr. Meyer are under consideration. No hint worthy of cred ence as to who they are, however, has been given. Meat Inspection Begins. CHICAGO, Oct. 2. Three hundred In spectors entered upon their duties atthe Chicago packing-houses yesterday, under the new Federal law. Judging from the first day's experience, the inspection wil' be thorough and systematic. "If there is anything wrong now, it is up to the Government, '-' said one packer, with apparent relief. That Is the position of all the packers. From statements made by Secretary James Wilson, of the Agricultural De partment, the Government Is willing to assume the responsibility. AV1II Soon Award Chinese Contract. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. Chairman The odore P. Shontz, of the Panama Canal Commission, returned to Washington to day and said he hoped to make the award of the contract for Chinese labor era on the proposals recently submitted to tho commission in a few days. Root Will Speak on His Trip.. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. Secretary Root will not make any public statement con cerning his recent- extended South Amer ican trip until, next month, when he will deliver an address in St. Louis before an organization Interested In commerce. Murray Mado Brigadier-General. WASHINGTON. Oct. 2. Colonel Arthur Murray, acting chief of artillery, was ad vanced to the rank of brigadier-general today and became chief of artillery, suc ceeding Brigadier-General S. M. Mills, who retired a short time ago. Portland AYoman in Civil Service. WASHINGTON. Oct. 2. Mary B. Bell. of Portland, has been appointed a clerk in the Agricultural Department. DEMOCRATS TELL ISSUES (Continued From Page 1.) Democratic conferees by consenting to the 'broad court review. "In this way the present law the very best that the people could get from the Republican Congress was passed. "If the Republican Senate had done half Its duty there would have been a railroad bill passed Into law long be fore 1887." Rap at Secretary Shaw. Attention next is called to the ex travagant appropriation of the 59th Congress and In connection therewith reference Is made to the creation of deficiencies In violation of the law. Under the head of "departmental scandals," Secretary Shaw Is charged with "neglecting the duties of his of fice, traveling about the country mak ing speeches for the standpatters and carrying on a campaign for the Presi dential nomination in 1908. but still drawing a salary which he does not earn and setting a bad example for his subordinates." The Controller of the Currency is declared to be Inefficient by reason of the failure of the Walsh, Enterprise and other banks. It is declared "that the little rogues are prosecuted, but the big ones are allowed to escape. With relation to their attitude toward organized labor, the book as serts that the Democrats were the first to give It recognition. Its position is surrfmariaed as follows: Roosevelt and Labor. "It is safe to say there has not been a statute enacted by Congress for the relief of the workingmen of the United States or organized labor that the Democrats have not given their hearty support." Taking up President Roosevelt s po sition on the question, it is declared that "he is hostile to the labor element. He has expressed It in his book, in his official utterances and by his acts." It is stated he regards representa tives of labor unions as members of the "rogues" gallery," "sleek, oily fel lows," "bulls of Bashan," "lazy, self1 ish, brutal, violent, murderous," "a mob." Returning to the subject of the tariff, the book asserts that President Roosevelt at various times in his career has been a free trader, a tariff reformer and a standpatter, and that he "may lead a movement for tariff revision in 1908." and then it has this to ay: 'Mr. Roosevelt has written nothing dis tinctly and unequivocally stating his posi tion since he withdrew from the free- trade club, but it has been given out at Oyster Bay fhls Summer that he Is fully in accord with the views of Speaker Can. non and Mr Sherman, which have been summarized in the language of gamblers and beggars "Stand pat and pass tha hat." ' Motive Behind Big Stick. . . Under the caption, "'The Motive Behind the "Big Stick'," it is charged that Presi dent Roosevelt favors big corporations m Porto Rico and the Philippines, and that he would make conditions advantageous for them; that he wants a big military and naval force to Include subsidized mer chant marine, and that he .has perverted the Monroe Doctrine In the Interest of the asphalt trust in Venezuela. It is said that not unless he found the necessity to win Democratic support for his policy of Imperialism did he ever say a word in praise of any Democratic statesman or Democratic achievement. Qoutations fol low from some of the President's books referring in alleged uncomplimentary terms to Jefferson, Madison, Benton and others. " " "These libelous and scandalous say ings," It Is declared, "reflect the true spirit of Theodore Roosevelt. What he now says Is said only to win approval for the 'big-stick' policy, by Insinuating that such a policy was really Inaugurated by Jefferson and Monroe, and not by 'the big American corporations," which he IS serving and which he seeks to enthrone In the Philippines, Porto Rico. Cuba and Santo Domingo. i.ven when lie tells the truth, he does so in order to disguise an evil purpose, or to justify by precedent the wicked policy. Surely no one who values sincerity, will be influenced by the utterances of Mr. Roosevelt." Many Sins of Roosevelt. - The charge then is made .that "the President favors certain railroads and ac cepts gifts from them violated the inter state commerce law demands and re ceives money in favored banks without interest diverts funds appropriated for one purpose to another allows public money to pay for a literary bureau to boom his policy. "Mr. Roosevelt has shown greater re gard for the interests of corporations, and less regard for the law than any other Executive the country has ever had." Maintaining that the principles of the Democratic party definitely and always have opposed monopoly, it is stated that the Democrats were the first to introduce anti-trust bills, whereas the first resolu tion to Investigate the trusts was not ac cepted by a Republican Senate. GALLS SULTAN TO PAY UP GUMMERE RESEXTS LEVITY OF MOROCCAN MINISTER. Demands Capture and Punishment of Guilty Chief and Indemnity -for Assault on Protege. TANGIER, Oct. 2. The energetic pro test of Mr. Gummere, the American Min ister, in the matter of assault by a sol dier on the son of Thaml Slaoul, a Mo roccan subject under the protection of the United States, was due to the Incorrect attitude of Mohammed el Torres, the For eign Minister, who treated the first com plaint of the American representative lightly, thus calling for Mr. Gummere's stern reproof. s Mr. Gummere demands not only the dispatch of a troop of cavalry to capture Kaid Reli, who connived at the escape of the soldier, but a large indemnity and the punishment of the guilty persons. No further reports of progress In the matter have yet been made. Socialists' Win One Fight. ' LONDON. Oct. 2. The labor movement In Great Britain is at present passing through an interesting phase, which is tending to decide the future dominance of one of two sections of the Labor party in the House of Commons, the Liberal section, led by John Burns, or the So cialist section, led by James Keir Hardle. The Federation of Miners at the meet ing held this week at Swansea took a ballot, although official figures are not yet available, it is understood to have de cided against Joining the Hardle section. On the other hand a conference of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Serv ants, sitting simultaneously at Cardiff, passed a resolution, after a long and bit ter debate, in favor of adhesion to the Hardle section. In spite of the fact that their leader, Richard Bell, M. - P., was Btrongly opposed to the railway men submitting themselves to Socialist dicta tion. Musician Ends His Life. L09 ANGELES. Oct. 2.

PALMA DEPARTS SHEDDING TEARS Fallen President Leaves Pal ace for Retirement at Matanzas. WHOLE FAMILY IN SORROW Accompanied by Faithful Friends, He Leaves Havana Cheers of ' Sympathetic Crowd Cause Emotions to Find Vent. HAVANA, Oct. 2.

Among those present at the pal ace to see the Palma family off were Sec retary of State O'Farrell, Secretary of Finance Font y Sterling, Secretary of Public Works Montalvo, Senator Dolz, President of the Senate; ex-Secretary of State Saldo, Private Secretary Bell and two government detectives, who accom panied the family to Matanzas. Besides these some of Mr. Raima's most inti mate friends bade him a hearty farewell in his private apartments at the palace. Sudnes at Departure. All members -of the family were affected over the circumstances of their sudden departure in a little more than four months after Senor Palma had been In augurated under such apparently happy auspices. It was evident that they were all glad that the closing scenes were about over. The family,, with the servants following, descended the marble stair case for the last time and walked to the carriages. No further farewells were said. The - ex-President entered a closed carriage, which was driven rapidly to the Caballerla wharf, followed by Senor Montalvo in an automobile. The party boarded the Department of Public Works tug Natalie, on which it was taken to Regla, the baggage and other effects hav ing already preceded it. There were not more than a score of persons outside the palace when the ex-Presldert left It, and there was very little cheering at the wharf where the family embarked, though several tugs, steamers and gov ernment launches gave a parting salute with their whistles. Fallen President Sheds Tears. On arriving at Regla, while passing from the tug to the train, the ex-President was greeted with hearty cheers and cries - of "Long live Tomas . Estrada Palma!" "Long live the honorable man!" The former . President acknowledged cordially this appreciation of his services, but he pressed on and quickly boarded the special train In waiting. This con sisted of two saloon cars and a locomo tive, and started for Matanzas almost immediately. As. It pulled out of the sta tion cheers for the ex-President were again raised. At this point Mr. Palma made no further endeavor to conceal his rent up emotions. He stood on the rear platform on the last car, waving his silk hat, with tears coursing down his face, calling "Adieu" to the crowd as the train moved slowly away. The former members of the Cabinet and their wives and a few others accompanied the Palma family to. Matanzas, where the latter will remain for a few days, later going to its home at Bayamo, province of Santiago. Relieved at Escaping Load. The Palma party consisted of Mr. Palma. Mrs. Palma, Jose Palma and his American wife and child, Tomas Estrada Palma Jr., the oldest daughter of Can dlta Palma, the two younger boys and one girl. Iirspite of his sge, the difficulties which he encountered in governing Cuba dur ing the last four yearsj and the special trials of the last month, Mr. Palma did not appear broken in health. Generally speaking, he appeared to be relieved at the fact that it was all over. Today was the first time the President has left the palace since the beginning of the disturbances, August 18, when he came over to Havana from his summer cottage near Cabanas fortress. t While the departure of Palma was the most Important event of the past 24 hours, he left the capltol so quietly that the public did not realize that he was gone until the news was given in the afternoon papers. Approves of Disarmament. On the way from Havana to Matanzas, Senor Palma's special train stopped at two stations, where the government vol unteer forces were preparing to disarm and disband. When Colonel Rego. In command of the battalion at Campo Florldo, informed Senor Palma -what he i was doing the ex-president expressed his gratification and said that disarmament was In accordance with patriotic duty. At Jaruco Colonel Lima told Senor Palma he had ordered his force to be mustered out, and- that this would be his last act as an officer. Continuing, the colonel declared that the people of Ma tanzas were particularly pleased that the ex-president was coming to their peace ful city to enjoy that rest and tranquility he so well deserved. He said also that the Cuban people were sure to re-elect Palma- to the presidency at the first op portunity. Sure of American Good Faith. Senor Palma said to Colonel Lima that lie had full confidence In the good faith of the United States and that he believed that the American Government intends to restore Cuban independence. He advised all to be patient and await the outcome, which he felt sure would be entirely ac ceptable. A great crowd awaited the train at Matanzas, which Is the moderate strong hold of the Island. The numbers at the station had been augmented by an ex cursion from Cardenas and people from the surrounding country. The provincial and municipal oincers welcomed the ex president, who was -escorted to the home of Manuel Florente. The Palmas will re main in Matanzas for some time, going later to the Palma plantation at Bayamo, Santiago province. MARINES TO GUARD PROVINCES s American Forces Sent to Centers of Rebel Outbreak. HAVANA, Oct. 2- The ittitude of the authorities of the United States regard- Workmen engaged In excavating for the North-Bank railroad near Underwood, Wash., recently un earthed a curiosity that is-now in the possession of Edward Under wood and has been the subject of much interest and comment by the few that have seen it. It was found by Emll Anderson who had charge of constructing a station on the new road, who says it was dis covered at a depth of over 25 feet and was embedded in 18 feet of gravel from the top of which had been removed several feet of rock. In appearance it resembles an animal, half dog and half sheep, with the features of the former and horns of the latter. The Image" has been carved out of the hard basalt rock found along the Columbia River at this point and is as hard, as Iron. In height it is about two feet, but originally was probably somewhat higher as It has evident ly been broken off at the bottom as can be seen by the picture. While Underwood, who is a pio neer of 1853 In this region, seems to think that it is the work of In dians who formerly camped In great numbers at the mouth of the White Salmon River, near where It was found, engineers who have ex amined it say that Its antiquity is so great that it may antedate them and that the fact that it is of stone ing the possibilities of the political sit uation seemed fairly expressed this afternoon when Colonel Waller, com manding the marines, remarked tb the Associated Press that an ounce of pre vention is worth a pound of cure. The remark, was called -forth by prepara tions at Campr Columbia to transport 460 marines from the encampment westward tonight for the purpose of having them in adjacent towns when the first Installment of General Guer ra's disbanded men reach these places tomorrow. While no disorder Is anticipated when the revolutionists reach their homes,-' the provisional government and the military authorities consider the actual military occupation of the Pinar del Rio district quite as essential as the occupation of other portions of the Island, and regard it as best to have arf American force there to Insure the preservation of order. This battalion of marines, which was to first occupy Pinar del Rio, was sent forward to night by special train. The orders came from Governor Taft 'at 6 o'clock, and half an hour later the battalion had boarded a train at Buena Vista, a station near Camp Columbia. One-thousand of Guerra's followers will go to Pinar del Rio in special trains, while 1800 others will start to march to their homes, taking with them their horses and extra mounts. It is the purpose eventually to restore all horses to their rightful owners. It Is believed tonight that all the revolu tionists in the vicinity of Havana will have been peacefully dispersed in three days. Generals Guerra and Del Castilla are actlely co-operating to this end. To gether with Guzman, the commander-in-chief of the rebels In Santa Clara prov ince, they called at the American Lega tion today and renewed their promises of assistance. They also thanked Mr. Taft for his courtesies and discussed the projected amnesty proclamation. Mr. Taft. said to his visitors that he would take up this subject later, not having time now to give It the necessary atten tion, and said that, when the matter did come up he would Investigate personally all cases which might require his atten tion In order that justice be done. The fact that General Guzman Is acting in sincere eo-operatlon is believed to pre clude trouble of any consequence In the work of disarming the rebels in Santa Clara province and no fears of disorder In other sections are entertained. Mr. Taft tonight Is busy in his tem porary quarters. Minister Morgan s villa at Marianao, going over the plans pre pared by the Cuban health officials for coping with yellow fever. These plans Include an Increase in the sanitary force and equipment and very much greater expenditures. Tomorrow Mr. Taft will occupy the office at the palace, but it Is uncertain when he will take up his res idence there. - - The -question of Cuban finances Is, for the moment, one of much seriousness, as there are obligations outstanding 'for the payment of at least half of the J13, 000,000 at present in the treasury. The Income of the government, however, amounts to nearly 2.000.000 a month, and loans are not considered necessary inso much as nearly all the Congressional apH propriations have been cancelled. The marines at Camp Columbus have been ordered to keep within the govern ment reserve, so there will be no mixing with the rebels and little with the gov ernment soldiers. Colonel F. H. Crowder. the judge-advocate; Captain Archibald W. Butt, the quartermaster, and Captain H. C. Cole, the commissary, arrived today and took charge of their respective departments. The confidence of the business ele ments In the provisional government Is apparently unbounded and they are all persistently hoping that the intervention will be permanent. Amador Will Visit America.
