Washington Speculation

About His Probable Courst--Cabinet

Talk and Political Prophecy.

From a Staff Correspondent .

Bu!falo, N. Y., Sept. 14.-The eyes or the country are focused on Theodore Roosevelt. Will he continue th e policy mapped out by his predeccessor and carried out thus tar into successful and satisfactory operation?

Washington thinks that he will, and this is the opinion a lso In Buffalo. It Is furth er believed here that he will retaln the McKinley cabinet or all or Its m embers w ho will consent to remain, thus giving the country at once a practical demonstration or his intention to be conservative.

Roosevelt Is hardly entitled to his reputation !or being a hair-trigger states­man which he has been compelled to contend against now tor so many months. Nobody ever thought or calling him over-Impulsive or rattl.,;d brained, until he went out west and raised his cowboy regiment at the opening of the Span­ish war. The flavor of that regiment has remained with him ever since.

Nothing could be more unfair, for his public record In no way justifies the popular Idea of the cartoonist regarding him. As police commissioner or New York, his record was all that his friends could have wished and he left that omce after having .In a quiet but deliberate and determined manner brought about many desired reforms. I t is truthfully said that New York never had a man In that omce who more ably, conscientiously and satisfactorily discharged his duties.

In Washington, as a member of the board or civil service commissioners, he made a highly favorable Jmpresslon. He Is the best civil service commis­sioner the country bas had, and the reforms which he put Into operation and the precedents which he established have characterized the policy or the com­mission ever since. He was a very emcient assistant secretary or the navy, and his gallant record as a soldier In Cuba ls a household story. He gave New York a high grade and thorough-going administration as governor and left that office tf\ aetiept vi e prellidenc}'.

There Is nothing in his public career that suggests the Impulsive or the Impetuous, and everything that suggests the sound and practical man or all'alrs, conservati ve, far-sighted and true to the best ideals or himself and bis coun­trymen. But even l! all the things that have been said about him were true, i~ would be safe to predict that the tremendous responsibility be Is now assum- -Ing would make him all that the country could desire.

It Is confidently believed that the dead president's policy will be continued by the man who now tills his place.

The question naturally arises, What Is to become of the influence until now exerted by Senator Hanna and the other famous Ohio republicans? But this question can with more propriety be discussed later on.

THE NEW PRESIDENT'S CABINET.

What Is Being Said of It in Washington - Likely to Be

Remodel~d. but Not for Some Time. a!'ZT""'~~':;:!,..Bwr~w. Boom 41S , Po.I

Washington, D. C., Sept. 14.-ln the natural order or events President Roosevelt Is likely eventually to surround himself with a new cabinet. PrP.re· dent favor s such a course. President Arthur accepted the resignations or Gar­field's cabinet and other presidents have done the same in previous yea rs. The IJractice Is based upon the reasonable aBSumptlon that the man who becomes responsible !or the admi nistration or the government would wlsh to select as bis advisors and helpers men whom he personally knows. Such a course does not necessarily signify lack or conftdence Jn the cabinet of his predecessor.

In the present instance, however, it Is not expected that the new president wlll make a clean sweep and start to build a cabinet from the ground. The position In which President Roosevelt finds himself is not strictly analagou• to that or Arthur or or any previous successor to the presidential omce. 'l'be cabinet' officers who will hand In their resignations are nearly all men who have served through one administration and part or another and have become Identified with one or the most successful periods of government the country bas ever known. They have been friends and counselors or one of the best loved and most respected or American presidents. To brush them aside and spurn the wisdom acquired by experien ce at an especially trying period of tran­sition would be an a ct more radical than Roosevelt's friends here expect.

CONSERVATISM OF ROOSEVELT

In !act, the prediction ls freely made that many will be '1rprlsed at the conservative lines upon which the Roosevel t administration will be run. One of his earl!est tasks .... 111 be to correct the popular notion or his characterlstlCll and to convince the country at large and 11articularly the financial world that bis government will not be conducted from the back ot a bucking broncho.

When the transition period Is passed and the country bas recovered from the shock and uneasiness which are Inevitable to a sudden termination or one regime and the beginning or a new one In new hands an,l projected on new lines, It ls reasonable to expect that certain of McKinley's cabinet will ftnd busi­ness and personal reasons for insisting on the acceptance of their reslgnation1 and gradually a new cabinet will be constructed.

LOl\"G lllA.Y PERHAPS RETIRE Already speculation has been Indulged In as to who will be chosen by the

exe<:utlve. Lodge has been talked or as secretary or state to succeed Hay. It Is freely predtcted that Long will insist on giving up bis porttollo as secretarr or· the navy and stories have been revived or friction which existed between Long and Roosevelt when the latter was assistant secretary or the navy. Thi• Is a change which Is not Impossible wlthln the not dlsta1;1.t future, and In thia connection lt Is more than' likely that one Crownlnshleld and others will be confronted with a reorganization which may mean sea duty ror them.

OTHER CA.BINET SPECl!LATIO!ll

Secretary Gage has been so prostrated by the tragic happenings of the last eight days that his health Is Impaired and his friends predict that he will be unwilling to remain long as part of the play when Hamlet Is left out. Root Is an old friend and municipal co-worker of Roosevelt and he Is about the onl7 one who Is generally slated to remain . Hitchcock, secretary of the lnlerlor, has not been Jong enough In his oftl.ce to make him an Important part. of th• goTI!rnment system and he wlll easily be 11pared. In his department Secretarr ot Agricluture Wilson baa given a most -satlafactory administration. He i. one or the three cabinet members who have held from the beginning of Mc­Kinley's first term. Gage and Long are the other two.

In the state department Sherman was succeeded by Day, who was succeeded b:r Ba:r. A1pr was succeeded In the war department by Root, Attorney Oesl­enl QrllP ~ Knox and Poatmaater General Gary by Smlth. BlilB preceded mf 3 I.. 911Lith hu Otten talked Of leaving oftl.cial lire &nd returp.bic ..
