SENATOR SEWELL SINKING rly Chan Ensue, | | levelops End May I Phy- ans sny CAMDEN, N. J, Dec. 6.—The physi- clans attending United itates Senator Sewell gave out the infomation tonight that thelr patient is much reaker. Unless | there Iy some improvement nown very soon | they belleve the senator cnnot last long. | | has spoken a changes have taken place. The state was in débt actually far heyond the limits pre scribed by law when he came into the of- fice. The war with Spain and the neces- sary work of equipping four regiments of volunteers entailed upon the state a great expense with no funds trom which the bills could be paid. Governor Shaw co-operated with others In securing the means to equip the soldier boys and the state maintained its place honorably. In the four years the state debt has been wiped out and the treas- ury s now full to overflowing. Governor Shaw in bls message ir. expested to cover this ground fully and fairly. It is, there- fore, a matter of considerable importance to him and to the state that he should bave time to prepare his message well It will not be possible for Governor Shaw Po take his new place until about the mid- dle of January, but he will be ready then to take up his new duties. Beyond delive ing his biennial meesage the retiring gov ernor has no special duties to perform at the close of his term. He takes na p whatever in the inaugural ceremonies. Sntegunrding Wilson, It was sald today by confidential of Governor Shaw that he disti a condition of his acceptance of the treasury portfolio that it was to be with Secretary Wilson remaining in the cabinet. He thorized Senator Allison, who made the in formal tender to him on behalf of the pres- ident, to state to th president that un- less Shaw could enter the cabinet without endangering the position of Wilson he would not accept. So far it is possible for Shaw and the lowa delegation to do #o, the Interests of James Wilson have been guarded. The fact that the position has been tendered to Shaw with this condition attached indicates that President Roosevelt has no fear of any consequences from plac- ing two cabinet positions in lowa. Gov- ernor Shaw would not anything that would cause a sacrifice of Wilson, and by taking tbis position he has distinctly strengthened himself with the lowa people. On the other hand, it is known certainly that Wilson contemplates an early retire- ment from the cabinet because of the em- barrassment of two cabinet officials from one state. Among the teachers that arrived in the ity today there was a general expression of pleasure over the news of the selection of Governor Shaw for a cabinet place.

This iufor mation 18 backed up by the undeniable fact that Mr. Coburn would be the natural selec tlon of President Roosevelt for the head of the agricultural work in event of Mr Wilson's retirement, which seems imminent #ince Governor Shaw of lowa has been se lected for (ho treasury portfolio. Mr. Coburn, whose remarkable work as secretary of the Kansas State Board of Agricultore has made him kuown through out the world as an authority on agricul tural matters, fs not only specially adapted to the work of the federal dopartment now headed by Mr. Wilson, but belongs to the state that was first of all to put forth the name of Theodore Roosevelt for the vice presidential nomination at Philadelpuia and immediately after the convention to start a boom for Roosevelt for president in 1904 Furthermore, Mr. Coburn's peculiar fitness for the position had made him a likely candidate for secretary of the Agricultural department at the time President Mc Kinley made up his cabinet, it having been necessary for the late president, in order to appoint Mr. Wilson to turn down the recommendations from the live stock and farming interests of the southwest, s probably 5 al interests Reason POFiing the Report. The appointment of Mr. Coburn to a cabinet position must necessarily depend upon the retirement of Mr. Wilson, a con- tingency that fs now considered altogother probable, according to Washington advices In support of this proposition it s argued, first, that the president would not have ten- dered the position of socretary of (he treasury to an lowa man unless he con- templated the retiement of Mr. Wilson, who hails from the Hawkeve state, Since Governor Shaw has decided to mccopt the treasury portfolio, Mr. Wilson's friends have come to the unwilling conclusion that his resignation will be tendered to the president as soon as the new treasury nom ination is sent to the senate. Taken in connection with the reorganization of the cabinet, which work s undoubtedly under way, ihe report that Mr. Coburn is slated for the Agricultural departme has more than the color of autheatici « uly When Presldent McKinley was looking about for a man for wec retary of agriculture the friends of Mr. Coburn enthusiastically urged his name for the place. He wag en dorsed with practical upanimity by the stockmen and farmers of the trans nissouri region. Among these endorsements was a personal letter from every republican sen- ator and repr ntative in the Kansas le, islature, resolutions adopted unanimously, regardiess of politics, by the Kansas Im proved Stock Breeders' assoclation, the Kansas State Swine Breeders’' assoclation the Oklahoma Stockmen's association, the Kunsas City Live Stock exchange, the Kan. sas State Editorial association and the Kan- sar State Board of Agriculture.
