"r H B" BLISS HAS BBSIGNBB Secretary of the Interior Handed ' in His Resignation Last Week. NOT OFFICIALLY GIVEN OUT The Reasons for His Retirement Not ' Yet Made Public—It Will Have No Bern-lug Upon the Appointment of ‘V'ho Is 11] Mr. Choute—Mr. Bliss, at His Home in New York, Will Make No Statenieut. Washington, Dec. 14.—Secretary of the Interior Cornelius N. Bliss resigned his portfolio last week before he left Washington for New York. It is not clear whether the resignation. has been accepted by the President or whether action is suspended pending the Presi- dent’s return from his Southern trip, when he will be able to choose a suc- cessor to Mr. Bliss. Secretary Bliss was President McKinley, and has been. a member of the Cabinet since McKin- ley’s inauguration on March 4, 1897. No one attributes Secretary Bliss’s retirement from the Cabinet to any dif- ferences with the President or the other Cabinet officers, and it is believed to ibe due merely to personal reasons. No announcement of the resignation has yet been made officially. Senator Thomas C. Platt, when. in- formed that Secretary Bliss had decidi- ed to resign, said that it was all news to him and that he had no idea of the cause or who his successor would be. The Senator added, in reply to a. ques— tion, that, so far as he knew, Mr. Bliss’ retirement would have no bearing upon the question of Mr. Choate’s appoint- ment as Ambassador to England. Senator‘Platt said he knew of no pos- sible rmson why Secretary Bliss should resign except possibly on the plea of ill health, At the Interior Department it was stated yesterday that nothing whatever was known of the matter there' There is the highest authority for the statement, however, that the Secre- tary has already handed in his resig- nation. Secretary Bliss often stated in the early days of the Administration, when reports were published of his intention to resign, that he would serve out his term, that he found the work of his bureau not nearly so hard as it had been repmted, and that having thor- oughly systematized it he found his duties quite congenial. The news of his resignation, there- fore, comes as a great surprise in Washington. ' New York Dec. 14. -—Mr. Bliss was ill at his home in this city yesterday. In response to a message asking about his reported resignation, he sent this reply: “I have nothing to say. I have not been in Washington for several days, and cannot be responsible for any news that comes from there.” BEIER TAX ’I‘O STAND. No Possibility for u Repeal of the One Dollar Clause. IWashington, Dec. 14.—Members of Congress and officials declare that no matter how the revenue tax act may be amended, there is no possibility of a repeal of the clause which levies an in- creased tax of $1 per barrel on beer. The recent meeting in New York of representatives of the brewery indus- try, to induce Congress to repeal the section, will have little or no effect. For years the framers of revenue legisla- tion have been anxious to increase the tax on. beer, but both parties were frank to confess their fear of the politi- cal enmity of brewers and the voters rwhich saloons control. The war, how- ever, made it necessary to increase the revenue, and the desired opportunity, to add to the tax on beer was presented and embraced by Congress. The report of Secretary Gage made it plain that the beer tax would not be repealed. There will be a deficit of $112, 000, 000 at the end of the fiscal vear, and Mr Gage, while admitting that the present law includes some vexatious taxes gives absolutely no hope that any source of revenue at present can be abanwdoned Meat for Cubans. Chicago, Dec. 14.—~—Chica.go packeis will spend a large amount of monev erecting immense cold storage plants in Santiago, Havana and P01to Rico for the reception and storage of fresh meat. Within a fortnight cold storage experts will be sent to West Indian cities to look over the ground, prepare plans and specifications for the erection of the proposed plants. Those interested in the matter are P. D. Armour, G. F. Swift, Nelson Morris and Thomas J. Lipton. Mr. Swift al- ready has a small cold storage plant at Santiago, which he built during the war and which was constructed from ma- terial sent from Chicago. A modern structure, which will accommodate 200- refrigerator cars of meat, will be built at Havana. This will be Mr. Swift’s general supply house. Battleship is Badly Injured. New York, Dec. 14.—Constructor Bowles said last night that the keel of the Massachusetts had been found damaged in seventeen places between frames 16 and 78. This means that the bottom of the battleship scraped the ledge for more 200 feet, or about two-thirds l-ts The divers, after mak- ing a. careful examination, had made this report to the construction depart- ment. The extent of the injury could not be learned, but it probably is sprung plates. The Investigating Committee ap- pointed by Admiral Bunce has the re- port of the divers, but none of the members will talk. The board is not ‘ taking any testimony, but will merely ; the Adelphi Academy, submit a preliminary report on the re- sult of the examination of the ship’s bottom. On this report will depend the appointment of a. Board of Inquiry by Secretary Long. Suicide in Broklyn. Brooklyn, Dec. 14.—Henry Walke, 2. Well known business man of Norfolk, Va, was found dead in an areaway or at Lafayette 3 avenue and St. James place, at about : 8 o’clock yesterday morning. ”- There were two bullet wounds in his temple. and a .38 calibre revoIVer with two cartridges exploded” was clutched firm- ly In his right hand. appointed by 1‘ ms: ransmmucr on YALE. Dr. Dwigh—t’s Refusal to Withdraw His Resignation—A $10,000 am. New Haven, Dec. 14. —A special meet- ing of the Yale CorporatIOn was held yesterday to act on President Dwight’ s resignation. At the end of the meeting a member of the corporation said that the president would not withdraw his resignation, and would retire at the end of the present college year. Compli- mentary resolutions were passed. There is no candidate'who can be singled out as a sure successor to Presi— dent Dwight. Prof. George Trumbull Ladd, head of the Department of Phil— osophy, has been mentioned. Prof Ladd came. to Yale fifteen years ago. from a pulpit in Minneapolis. There is a. Yale tradition that only a. Congrega- PRESIDENT ’l‘. DWIGHT. ‘tional clergyman can be elected Yale‘s president. In this respect Prof. Ladd would make a typical head for the uni— versity. He is a deep theological stu- dent, but it is certain that the business men who are members of the Yale Cor- poration would prefer a younger man of the business type. Prof. George Bur- ton Adams, of the History Department; Prof. Henry W. Farnham, of the De- partment of Sociology, and Prof. Ed- ward S. Dana, of the Department of Natural Science are the leading candi- dates in the eyes of the younger alumni. Of these Prof. Dana has the advantage in his ancestry. He is the son of the late venerable James D. Dana. Another candidate who has been singled out by a great many of the Judge of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. JUDGE TAFT. President Dwight, in speaking of his resignation, says: plans for the immediate future. Of beyond that I do not know what I shall do except to take a rest. Yes, I shall remain here in New Haven to make my home here as a quiet citizen, and I hope to die here.” When asked if he would give any thought to reconsidering his resignation, as the corporation has re- quested, he replied: “I shall certainly give the kind request' the consideration that courtesy and gratefulness dictates, but I ‘think that I must abide by the expression I made in my letter." John W. Hendrie, of South Beach, Conn, has made an additional gift of $10,000 to the new Yale Law School building fund. Our Rule in Porto Rico. San Juan de Porto Rico, Dec. 14.+The insular Cabinet has decided to secure an efficient American superintendent for the Porto Rican schools. Gen. John Eaton, a well-known educator and formerly United States Commissioner of Education, has been selected and sent for. Lieut. Davidson has been appointed Chief of the San Juan police and Superintendent of Street Cleaning. Gen. Guy V. Henry, in command of the Department of Porto Rico, has in— structed the post commanders to pre- vent: the landing of the French cable on Porto Rico soil. - ject of the poor inland mail service, In- spector Robinson will take steps to re- organize it. U. S. Washington, Dec. 14.—~The complica- tions in the California Senatorial con- test lead Californians in Washington to believe that there is a. possibility of the Legislature electing Ulysses S. Grant, better known as “Buck” Grant, to the Senate, to succeed Senator White. Young Grant, as every one knows, is a. son of the ex-President, and has been prominent in the Republican party in California. for two years He openly began his contest for Senator in 1896, during the Presidential campaign. Grant for Senator. Snow Shove-lens Killed. Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 14.—Nine men were killed and three injured at Win- speare Bridge, near Corfu, on the New York Central Railroad, yesterday. They were all Po 9, with the exception of John Warne , their foreman, who is among the killed. The men were engaged in shovelling snow. They stepped from one track to avoid an approaching train right in the same direction, and were literally ground to pieces.

A Deumnd Likely to Be Made, How- ever, for Equal Privileges with France, Germany and Russia in China—To Be Backed by Force. Washington, Dec, 14.—The interview with Senator Davis, published in Lon- don, in which 'the Senator is quoted as strongly favoring an alliance between the United States, Great Britain and Japan, to protect their common inter- ests in the Orient, has excited consid- erable interest; here. In a general way it is known to represent Senator Davis’ views. The subject of an alliance with Great Britain and Japan has for some time been receiving serious thought. not only among Senators, but in the State Department. , ' The suggested alliance does not necessarily include a treaty between those countries, but simply joint action for a common object. Germany, Russia and,France, jointly or separately—'shall be accorded the United States, and to insure this it is recognized ‘co-operation with Great Britain and Japan will be necessary. This co-operation is expected to" take the form of joint or simultaneous de- mand from the three governments for equal privileges in China. with Fall other nations, the demand! to be enforced, if necessary. The President is not ready to go into this question now, but it has been. dis- cussed sufliciently to indicate his gen- eral views, and the reference to our in.- terests in China in his message is re— garded as significant. Secretary Hay is represented as being in. favor of such an alliance. The acquisition of the Philippines is expected to result in a broader trade interest for this country in: the Orient. Senators say that this will not neces- sarily depend upon the retention of the entire Philip-pine group by this coun- try. The ratification of the peace treaty, it is held, will establish the in.- fluence of the United" States in that quarter of the globe, and there will be no serious opposition on the part of so- called expansionists to any disposition , of the islands which will insure the lib- , erty of the people and a good govern.— ment. A canvass of the. Senate indicates that the treaty will surely be ratified. Getting Ready for Genius. Washington, Dec. 14.—The House Census Committee at its meeting yes- terday decided to create a separate bu- reau for the purpose of taking the cen- sus, and directed Chairman Hopkins to draw a substitute for the Senate bill. ‘ The Senate bill provides that the Cen- sus Oflice shall be included in the “hp- paitment of the Interior. fi-‘ 1... _ . __. the committee regarding several pro- visions of the bill.- Some of the points on which inquiry will be made relate to the number'of persons to be em- ployed and their salaries, the work of expert statisticians, and how the cen- sus can best be taken, whether by counties, townships or Congress dis- tricts, or whether this shall be left to the Superintendents of Census. Noth- ing was said as to whether the bureau should be placed under the civil serv- . ice. I Cuban Tariff Schedule Ready. Washington, Dec. 14.—Major—Ge-n. Brooke, the future Military Governor of Cuba, and Robert P. Porter, the Pies- ident’s Special CommissiOner to the island, had a long conference with the President yes:terd‘.ay They discussed the details of Mr. Por- -ter’s observations in Cuba in connec- tion with his investigation of the cus- toms situation in. the island. ( The tariff schedule, as prepared by Mr. Porter and forwarded some time ago to the Treasury Department, sub— ject to amendment, was examined thoroughly at the conference, and Gen. Brooke made himself thoroughly fa— miliar with the regulations which are to be carried out at the several 'ports. It is expected that the Cuban. tariff will be published by the Treasury De- partment to-day. Gas Tank Explodes. New York, Dec. 14.—VVith a crash that could be heard for more- than a mile the largest gas tank in the world collapsed from the tremendous hy- draulic pressure yesterday at 5.45 p. In.

It had been finished about, ten days and collapsed while being tested to see if it was perfect. Firebugs CrenIated. San Francisco, Dec. 14.—There is much disquietude among the inhabi— tants of Hankow since the recent fire, in which three thousand people lost their lives. Several smaller fires have occurred since, all believed to be‘ the work of lncendlaries. The Shanghai Daily Press says five Chinese were caught in the act of ignit- ,ing as many dwellings. They were thrown into the flames and burned alive. A Railroad Concession. Mexico City, Dec. 14.—A concession for an important railway in the State of Vera Cruz, to be called “Ferro Carril Vera Cruzano,” has passed into the hands of Philadelphia. capitalists.
