It is true. they have steered from an extra session next March to revise the tariff. hut he seems to want to have his own way in the making of appointments.

The fact that be promised to carry out the policies ot. McKinley was taken advantage of by scores or politicians to obtain the appointment or men whom they claimed Mr. McKinley had promised to appoint. It is said that President Roosevelt believed In many cases he was being buncoed but he cows not prove it because Mr. McKinley WIWI dead.

He is not bound by that promise after next March. and his friends say one of the first evidences of his freedom In this. respect will be seen in his appoint. ments. The Diplomatic Upheaval.

That he has some plants is seen from a recent Inspired announcement from the state department that the president expected all cabinet officers ambassadors and ministers to hand in their resignations before March 4. In the ca of the cabinet it was a family affair the president has already received their formal resignations and has urged them all to stay and awlst in launching the next administration. But in the case of the diplomats the president expects every one of them to resign that he may have a tree hand In choosing the men who shall represent this government abroad. lie could not wait until March 4 to announce that he would send Mr. W.
