ANOTHER TO RUN THE WEATHER. Though Ills Kme Is Not Yet Announced, IIo la Said to be n Mnn of Twenty Years' Importance as a Meteorologist, nml Not a College Graduate. WASHINGTON, July 3. Profossor Mark W. Harrington, chlof of tlie weather buroau, hits boon rollovcd from duty, owing to h dlsngrcomont with Secretary Morton. A coll was inndo on Juno 19 for Professor Harrington's resignation. Ho declined to resign, and was romoved by the president. James F. Cook, chlof clerk of tho wcathor buroau, Is acting head of the bureau until a successor to Professor Harrington, is appointed. The rolotions between Sosrotnry Morton and Professor Harrington, who was appointed from Michigan, aro known to have beon strained for many months, and correspondence be tweon them hns been carrlod on only in tho most formal language Soon after tho change of administration Socrotary Morton instituted an Investiga tion of the business affairs of the bureau. The results did not lmplleato Professor Harrington in any way, but it tended to lncroaso tho strained relations between tho socrotary and himself. For somo time Professor Harrington has had practically nothing to do with tho routine manage ment of tho office. Tho greatest secrecy Is preserved by all the officials regardlngthe removal. "That is a mattor," said Secretary Morton, "that belongs properly to tho Whlto House. Profossor Harrington's commission bears the nomo of tho president of tho United States, and not of tho socrotary of agri culture, nnd If thoro is anything to bo stutcd in regard to this position it must coino from tho Whlto Houso. Until somo official announcement Is made from the Whlto House I havo no communication to mako." At tho Whlto Houso no positive Inform ation could be obtained. Mr. Prudcn, tho acting prlvato socrotary, said that he had no authority to mako any statamont whnt ovor. Profossor Harrington hlmsolf said to day: "On the 19th of Juno tho president asked for my resignation bocauso of per sonal Intorosts. I declined to glvo it on tho score of publlo Interests, and my romoval followed promptly, taking offect July 1. Tho personal interests involved woro dis cussed by mo in my lotter to tho prosldent, and I feel that I havo not recolvod just or considorato treatment with regard to thorn, "Among the publlo Interests which I had steadily In view woro tho preservation of tho scientific corps and tho protection of the bureau from tho spoilsman. When a scientific bureau descends to tho four-year office holding piano It at onco loses pres tige and ceases to bo a desirable- post for compotont mon." Professor Harrington was appointed from Michigan because of his long ac quaintance with meteorological matters, having boon for many yoars tho editor of a journul dovoted to that selenco. Ho was a mombor of tho faculty of Ann Arbor uni versity. It Is learned that Profossor Harrington's successor has boon chosen, and tho ap pointment Is very likely to be announced this afternoon. His name has not so far been divulged, but It is known that a local forecastor who has beon In tho servlco for many years has been selected. Concerning tho appointment Secretary Morton said: 'The solo consideration In making tho appolntmont will bo to lmprovo tho effici ency of the forecasting work of tho weather bureau. If tho woather bureau cannot mako forecasts that aro to bo cred ited, thon it is not worth perpetuating, nnd therefore it is quite likely that tho coming chief of tho buroau will bo taken up from tho ranks of local forecasters and observers. In all probability ho will bo a mun of about twenty years experience with executlvo ability, unimpoachablo as to industry, fidelity and sobriety. Ho has a high reputation as a metorologlst, und Is not agruduatoof any of tho treat cotloges, Ho has nover been recommended for tho placo by a single human being, nnd nover know ho was to bo called until actually notified. I havo overy confidence that ho will bo ono of the best officers we havo had hero for a long timo." Garfield's Son for Gtnte Senator. Warren, O., July 3. James R.
