Tbe appointment of Attorney General Knox a United filati henator to aucceed the late llatthern Stanley Quay of Pennsylvania, and the retirement of Secretary Cortelyou of the new department of commerce and Mm, in order to accept the chairman ship of the national republican committee, will create two vacancies in the cabinet of President Roosevelt. The only remaining members of President MeKin Icy'a cabinft at the time of bis death in 1901 are Secretary of fitate Hay, Secretary of the Interior Hitobco:k and .Secrrtary of Agriculture Wilaon, fy?c reizr'm fihaw, Taft and ibly and Postinaater Gen eral Payne are appointees of President Roosevelt. It w ri'ixjrifA that the attorney generalship will be filled by Secretary Moody, which will leave a va cancy in the navy portfolio. Tbe name of Con gressman Victor IL Metealf is connected with the annointment of a successor to Secretary Cortelyou. Mr. Metealf has represented the Third district of California in the house of representative since March 4, 19. He resides at Oakland, and is a law yer by profession. He k a native of New York state, born at L'tica in 18-j3, being now 50 years of age. He attended Yale college for two years and graduate from the Yale law school in 1870". He removed to California about 25 years ago. Mr. Metealf is on the ways and means committee of the house and is the most influential member of the California delegation next to Senator Perkins. He is a close personal friend of Secretary Moody, J here is little doubt that Mr. Metealf baa been offered a place in the cabinet. The only Californian who ever held a place in the cabinet was Joseph McKenna, now an associate just ice of the auprettie court, who was attorney general for a few month at the beginning of President Me Kinley'a administration. Mayor George IL Williams Speaking generally, -r- Fairbanks k of opinion that a atatesmaa from Indiana who i!l be pru dential uhm in 1993 would probably djvarage a vice presidential lyia this year if approached on the ubjert.
