PASTORIA. B?*r? the /) KM You Haw MtifS BougM "*7" Washington Letter. (From our R^uUr orr-np jhd?>iii ) Washington, D. C., Oct' 28.? One result of hariog a trainer^ literary man for President will he a new sort of Hernial message to Congress?ens with ne statistical and departmental padding, and I whlr?Kl w ill nrkoant ?"l" I. ? ?? |/? vovui VIIIJ tllO T 1C n n of the President, and be prepared entirely by bim. At tbe last meeting ot tbe Cabinet, which waw the tirst with a fnil-attendance, since Mr. Roosevelt became Presi dent, the President informed the members that the cuwtem of hav ing each of them write that portion of the the President's annual message to Congress dealing with the details of affairs in their respective departments would be ' abandoned; that the message warn Id be entirely prepared by himself and would not duplicate any of the details in the annual report* of the members of tbe Cabinet, which Congress would have any way, but would be exclusively devote 1 to such topics as he con sidered it necessary to call the at tention of Cengrese to. This will be quite a sharp cutting of red tape, hut from the point of view ef those who rend tbe message it will certainly be an improvement, and it will not lessen public information in any way, as the annual reports of the members of the Cabinet can be obtained* by all who wish to rend them The theory that women have no head for finance gets jarred quite frequently theoe daj's. Mies Lilliam Norton, ef Texas, ha* ! just been appointed Superintendent of the system of finance in ! the Post Office Department, u position of great responsibility and carrying a salary of $2,250?tbe largest drawn by a woman under that department. Miss Norton hns been a clerk in the division since 1886, and has often acted temporarily as its head. Her t^ppointment is enly temporary ? the , politicians wouldn't allow such n juicy plum to a woman permanently - but it is an boner to her and ' a testimonial to tbo business abili4 ty of woman in general. Whether right or wrong is im material at this state of the game, 1 hut thousands believe that Rear 1 Admiral Orowninshield, Chief ef the Bureau of Navigation of the j N?w Department, was more re [ sponsible than any other one man I for what most people believe to ^ hav e been a systematic attempt tc * lewer Rear Admiral Sehlev in r public esteem. Consequently there is great rejoicing over the official announcement that Crowninshield is to l?e assigned to duty elsewhere. Why Rear Admiral Sampson was not called as a witness before the Schley Court of Inquiry wn* niMun vm v pmui oy me remarks * of Mr. Kayner, id reply to a question asked by J odor? Advocate I Lemly as to when Mr. Kayner, i wished Sampson summoned. Mr. t Kayner said: '-Nnw you and I ' ( both knew that Admiral Sampson is not in a condition to he called into court. 1 do not want to he > put in the position of ahundoning my proposition, and I do not w?nt I to he put in the position of calling Admiral Sampson into * contro' versy where his presence ih not necessary, and when he is not in any condition to he brought into court, even if his presence wnh necessary." Quite a sensation was made in Washington by the resignation of i Admiral Dewey as President of > the Metropolitan Club. It is said i that the resignation was Admiral Dewey's answer to charges mads i by seme ef the members?government officials?that the court had favored Schley in its rulings, but Admiral Dewey declines to discuss the matter for publication.
