permanent Secretary would be named Im
mediately.
Speculation on to the appointee em
braced the name of every person whoso
name possibly could bo connected with
such a post, but the fact Is that no
body but the President knows who Is the
likeliest releillon and ho remained In his
study and woutJ Rive no inkling of his
probable choice.
President Wilson was In his ofllco from

but as a private cltlrcn I am free to urge both of these propositions and
to call public attention to tlicso remedies In the hope of securing such an ex

The ex-Secretary, In giving out his statement, said he had touched on
but two points of difference between himself and the President; that he
reserved the others for future discussion.

While It was said to bo unusual for the Governor to act contrary to the

Ion with Secretary Bryan.
The President has absolute confidence
In Mr, Limning, who linn been pet haps
tho President's chief adviser In the deli
cate situations growing out of the war's
problems.
Technically and professionally there
is no doubt entertained here of Mr.
Lansing's qualifications. Ills vlows as
to policy are generally In complete
harmony with those of tho President,
while as an authority on the legal and
more or less technical phases of the
problems Involved In the conduct of for
eign relations ho Is looked upon as a
most competent authority.
Though nominally a Democrat, Mr.
Lansing's appointment to the Cabinet
would be nonpotltlcal, and If he Is not
chosen It will undoubtedly be because
tne President desires to follow the usual
course and add political strength to hla
Administration by the choice of a Sec
retary of State.
Secretary of War Garrison and Secre
tary of the Interior Lane are named as
logical selections' for Mr. Bryan's place;
logically it Is they Who have taken the
lead among the President's advisers In
urging the courses which have been fol
lowed in the Issues with Germany. Mr.
Garrison In particular has been regarded
as the strongest forco In tho Cabinet In
contradistinction to Mr. Bryan.

WASHINGTON, June 9 President
Wilson's second Lusltanla note to Ber
lin, so stern und uncompromising of
tenor that Secretary of State William
Jennings Bryan, fearing It would precipi
tate war between the United States and
f5rmntiv. riMtlened rather than sign it,
is humming on Its momentous wny to
tho German Emperor.
Upon this note and Its reception by
Wllhclm II hang the fortunes-perhaps
the fates-of two nations.
So firm Is the note, In the opinion of
former Secretary Bryan, that Germany
will refuse to accede to Its demands
Such action, It Is believed, will forco
the United States to sever diplomatic
relations with the Empire.
The note covered eight and a third
pagos of elite type. The department
figured It will take about 12 hours to
reach Berlin, via London and Copen
hagen The first section Is expected to
reach Berlin about midnight nnd the
remainder by tomorrow It will take five
hours to decode tho note so that It will
not be In shape to send to the German
Foreign Office until tomorrow evening.
Secretary of the Navy JoBephus Dan
iels, Bryan's most Intimate friend in the
Cabinet, who shares tho peace views that
are in the heart of the retiring premier,
may follow his friend from the Presi
dent's official family. Tho belief that
he will do so erows hourly hero, dosplte
emphatic denial from the White House.
Acting Secretary of State Lansing an
nounced shortly nfter 2 o'clock this after
noon that tho rejoinder to the German
note, virtually refusing to arbitrate In
tho Lusltanla case, had been enciphered
nnd placed on the cahle3.
The note will bo published in United
States newspapers Friday morning.
At the Navy Department, It was de
clared tho Secretary had not resigned,
had not thought of resigning and did not
Intend to resign
"You can say," said Private Secretary
Howard Banks, "that there Is absolutely
no foundation for tho report."
"I haven't a thought of resigning,"
said Secretary Daniels "I think the note
I what tho President ought to send. Wo
aro all very sorry Mr. Bryan has resigned,
but ho had convictions Impossible to set
aside and he stood on theso convictions.
Facing the greatest crisis In the history
of tho United States, President Wilson
stood firm today on a policy of "no sur
render" of American rights.
No matter what the cost, he was pre
pared to emphasize the doctrine of pro
tection for Americans, wherever they
may go. Secretary of State Bryan's
resignation from the Cabinet had solldficd
tho Administration.
Official Washington was still dazed to
day over the Cabinet crisis. It had been
hoped to tho very last that some way
would bo found whereby Bryan could re
tain his post, thus emphasizing to tho
world that, whatever the Administration's
policy, It had the united support of all
factions In the nation. The hope was
vain. Bryan's position was found to be
irrcconclllablc, and the President finally
decided that he would have to allow the
Secretary to quit. It was) feared that his
retirement would have anunfavorable ef
fect on the German position, but the
President and the two nlen most in his
confidence at present. Secretaries Garri
son and Lane, argued that delay merely
would make the crisis more acute.
In allowing Bryan to atop down and
out the Administration was hopeful that
It would Impress Germany with the seri
ousness of tho United States' determina
tion to Insist that Its rights under inter
nalonal law be scrupulously observed.
Brian himself was said to be hopeful that
this would be the way the thing would
work out.
It admltedly will be several days be
fore the full effect of the resignation can
be determined.
and scope of the note to Germany. A
few hours later, however, tho suggestion
began to take forn. that the President
and his Secretary of State were entirely
unable to agree, and that this accounted
for the delay In transmitting the note to
Berlin.
WARM PRAISE FOR BRTAN.
Admiration and praise for the cour
ageous manner In which Mr. Bryan had
fought for and held to his convictions
were expressed by officials on every side,
Including those who had bcon most vig
orous In their opposition to his policies.
The strong personal attachment of tho
President and Mr. Bryan has long been
noticeable In their evcry-day conferences.
It became known last night that twice
before In tho two years and three months
of his term Mr. Bryan had offered to ro
8lgn to save the President from embar
rassment, nnd each tlmo the President
refused to accept tho resignation.
Throughout the constant newspaper bom
bardment of Mr. Bryan for his views on
peace, his advocacy of prohibition and his
speeches on tho Chautauqua, the Presi
dent has stood by the Secretary, resent
ing criticism of him.
In domestic affairs tho two men whn
wero at the helm of the Democratic party
In Its first ascendency Into power In 18
years co-operated most harmonlouslv.
Often Mr. Bryan yielded some of his own
views, as on tho currency bill, and used
his Influence to assist tho President's
program in Congress. It was not sur
prising, therefore, to officials and friends
of the President and Mr Bryan to learn
that tho latter continued undaunted in
Ills support or tne President politically,
although ho could not remain In tho Cab
inet and give him official help on a mat
ter of principle which affected his entire
philosophy of life
The Bryan resignation Is regarded as
much more sensational than that of the
white-plumed knight of the Republican
party. Mr. Blalno retired because of his
enort to wrest irom resident Harrison
tho Republican nomination for the Pres
idency. That was a mere political quar
rel, whllo tho differences between Presi
dent Wilson and Secrctorj Bryan aro
baicd on the belief, on Mr, Bryan's part
at least, that tho action decided on by
the President will lead to war Ith a
great European Power.
An lnterujtlng fact recalled toniciit wnn
that when Mr. Blaine rotlied from the
Harrison Cabinet ho was sueceorfo.i hv
General John W. Foster, of Indiana, who
la tho fathcr-ln-law of Robert Lansing,
the man believed to bo foremost In Presi
dent Wilson's mind In his consideration
of the selection of a new Secretary of
State.
WASHINGTON, June 9. Secretary
Bryan paid his formal farewell visit to
the White House at 12:20 today. He saw
no reason, however, he said, why he
might not make later calls In his per
sonal capacity.
The secretary walked over from tho
State Department and found the Presi
dent and Secretary Tumulty awaiting
him.
For nearly 10 minutes the President and
Mr. BryAn discussed various points at
Issue between them, In a friendly man
ner, when Mr. Bryan arose nnd said:
"Well, you're busy, Mr. President. I
won't detain you longer."
Tha President also stood up, and the
two men said to each other simultane
ously, ob If It had been relicareeu.
"Ood bless you."
Not another word was said. As Mr.
Bryan was leaving the White Houso the
French Ambassador M. Jusserand, ar
rived and they exchanged a brief parting
message for each other on the White
House portico. Tho only other foreign
diplomat who said goodby was the Ital
ian Ambassador, who called for that pur
pose. HANDSHAKE AFTER CAMERA CLICK
Mr. Bryan then walked with Secretary
Tumulty through the Executivo grounds
to the State Department. He plainly
showed ho had been deeply moved by his
parting with tho President, but he did
his best to smile and Joko with the news
papermen. At tho State Department Mr.
Bryun posed on the front steps with
Counselor Lansing for tho photographers.
One "movlo" man called out:
"Now just shake hands."
There was no response from Mr. Bryan.
The photographer repeated tho Instruc
tions. "Never mind, we wilt do tho posing,"
said Mr. Bryan quickly. The handshake
wa3 not given.
After the cameras had clicked, how
over, Mr. Bryan shook hands heartily
with his temporary successor and enter
ing his carriage drove directly to his
homo shortly after 1 o'clock.
