Wash ington, D. C. Nov. 11. Tho volunteer Cabinet-makers, will be busy from now until the fourth of March arranfrin a new Cabinet for Mr. Taft. but until Mr. Taft makes up his own mind predictions are obviously nothing more than guess work. But in speculators on the next Cabinet there are some things which can be stated as facts. For Instance. George B. Cortelyou will not be Secre tary of the Treasury after the Ath of March; Charles J. Bonaparte will not be Attorney General under the Taft ad ministration: Victor H. Metcalf will not be Secretary of the Navy beyond that time. Retain Garfield. After Mr. Roosevelt retires from the White House it is equally certain that James R. Garfield will be retained in the Cabinet in his present position as Secre tary of the Interior, while George von L. Meyer will be promoted from the Postoffice to the Treasury Department, where he will succeed Cortelyou. Three other members of the Cabinet. Secretary Root, Secretary .Wright and Secretary Straus, may be retained by Mr. Taft if they desire to prolong their official careers. There is some question as to whether Secretary Root will care to serve in the next Cabinet, and there is gossip to the effect that Mr. Root is anxious to succeed Senator Piatt, who will retire on March 4. Secretary Wright was placed at the head of the War Department when Sec retary Taft resigned, and largely be cause of his intimate knowledge of tha conditions in the Philippines. Under the next administration there will be no lack of knowledge of the Philippine con dition, because Mr. Taft himself Is bet ter posted than any man in the country, not excepting Secretary Wright. and there will not be so much need of a Philippine expert in the Cabinet as there Is at the present time. It Is true that Mr. Taft is a great admirer of Secretary Wright, but he also realizes that Mr. Wright Is a Democrat, and there Is a serious question whether he would care to carry a Democrat . in his Cabinet throughout the four years of his admin istration. If Secretary Wright !s re appointed it is probable that he will hold the office only a short time, and then tender his resignation so that the place may be given to a staunch Republican. Wilson Breaks Record. Nobody seems to know whether Sec retary Straus would like to remain In the Cabinet or not; he has not publicly ex pressed himself, and, therefore, there is doubt about his future. He is easily the most competent man who has ever been at the head of this new Depart ment and has done more to make it successful than either of his predeces sors. If he cares to remain it seems to be understood he can do so. The remaining member of the Cabinet Is James Wilson, of Iowa, who, on the 4th of next March, will have served con tinuously for 12 years at the head of the Agricultural Department. He has broken all records by his long service and is' the only Cabinet officer to serve through three administrations. Secretary Wilson is proud of his record but would like to make it even stronger, and It is his personal ambition to be re appointed by Taft, even though It would be with the understanding that he would resign in the early part of the adminis tration. That would leave him with a full 12-year record, and with the further record of having been appointed Secre tary of Agriculture by four Presidents, or rather by three Presidents, for he was given his first appointment by President McKinley. who also gave him his second commission. Out of regard for Secretary Wilson, Mr. Taft may grant him this favor, but It Is most improbable that Wilson will remain long In the Cabinet after the 4th of next March. WANTED WORK; STRUCK Unemployed Given Jobs, Walk Out Because Holiday Is Denied Them. LONDON, Nov.' 14. (Special.) One of the queerest strikes on record occurred at Preston last Saturday. A body of 140 unemployed, for whom work had been found by the Preston Guardians, went on strike because they had been deprived of their Saturday half-holiday. They left work at noon instead of at 4 o'clock, marching out in procession, headed by a man playing a tin whistle. The Guard ians, In consequence, stopped the pay for Saturday afternoon. The Guardians point ed out to a deputation, which waited on them that, were they to pay the men for work not done they would be surcharged. They offered to arrange for the men to begin work half an hour earlier every morning, and thus make up for Saturday afternoon. The strikers afterward de cided to return to work and strike again if the half-holiday Is not given to them. TAKE OFF 100 TRAINS English Railroad Combine Disre gards Ail Complaints of Public. LONDON, Nov. 14. (Special.) As a re sult of the recent railway combine, over 100 trains on the North British Railway Company's lines have been withdrawn from service, the whole of the system being affected. The most important with drawals are two corridor expresses from Edinburgh to Dundee and Aberdeen and vice versa, and also the curtailment of the Edinburgh and Glasgow, service. A number of Sunday trains are to be with drawn likewise. It is customary at the beginning of the Winter season to reduca traffic, but the reductions are exception ally numerous, and are -made in the inter, est of economy. The public complaints are disregarded. .
