PRESIDENT ACTS IN CRANE’S CASE

Accepts His Resignation As Minister to China.

Washington, Oct. 15. —All doubt as to what action President Taft would take with respect to the resignation of Charles R. Crane, minister designate to China, was dispelled by the receipt of a dispatch from the executive, ad dressed to Secretary Frank W.

The telegram was dated Prescott, Ariz., and was as follows: “Convey to Mr. Crane following communication: ‘I concur in the letter under date of Oct. 12 which the secretary of state has addressed to you, and I greatly regret that the circumstances found to exist by him make it necessary for me to accept your resignation.’" The letter of Knox referred to by the president notified Crane that his resignation would be accepted. Crane “Greatly Relieved." Following the receipt of the president’s message, through Secretary Carpenter, Crane issued this statement: “I am greatly relieved by the president’s decision There has been no minute since I learned the attitude of the department of state when I have not contemplated the possibility of a continuance of my official relations with the deepest repugnance. “Nevertheless, I have felt that my obligation to the president was to permit him to decide the issue. I have appreciated fully what would be involved in a decision by him that I should continue.

<‘l have realized also the impossibility of his securing complete information at this time. He has chosen to base his decision upon the ‘circumstances found’ by the secretary of state. “1 accepted the Chinese mission at his request and solely because of assurances that I could be and would be permitted to be of service to the country in contructive work of the greatest Importance to it and of the greatest interest to me. It has been made perfectly clear that conditions here were not and are not such as to make this possible. Did Not See Story. “To demonstrate this has involved a personal humiliation such-as no selfrespecting man who is drafted into the public service should be called on to endure, but I am grateful indeed that I have had the test of official confidence" and support here rather than in China, and now rather than at some real crisis involving the honor of the interest of the nation. > “I think I should state at this time that until I arrived here last Sunday I had never seen the newspaper article which is made the excuse for my recall, nor had I heard that such an article had been published, and at my Interview with the secretary of state it was not shown to me "1 accepted the description of its character and consequences then given to me and assumed full responsibility for my connection with it, purely incidental as that connection was.” Taft Scored by a Minister. Dayton, 0., Oct. 15. At a session of the Ohio synod of the United Presbyterian church Rev. J. A.

CLEVELAND HAD EYE ON JOHNSON

Former President Looked Upon Minnesotan as Leader. WAS FAITHFUL TO HIS PARTY One of the Last Letters of One Time Occupant of White Houee Contradicts Document Produced by Broughton Brandenburg Because It Indicates That Executive Elected by the Democrats Believed There Were Triumphs In Store For Democrats. Utica, N. Y.. Oct. 15.—E. Prentiss Bailey, veteran editor of the Utica Observer and a close friend of Grover Cleveland, prints the text of a letter he received from the former president. Bailey believes the letter is the last of any length or Importance that Cleveland wrote. It Is dated Princeton, March 14, 1908. Its contents are Interesting in the light of the controversy over the so-called Cleveland letter produced by Broughton Brandenburg, which was subsequently alleged to have been a forgery. The letter Erandenburg gave to the public was dated March 8 and made It appear that Cleveland, becoming hopeless of his party, eulogized W. H. Taft. Bailey’s letter indicates that Cleveland was contemplating with satisfaction the possible nomination of John A. Johnson for the presidency by the Democrats. The letter in part follows: “I often recall past political contests and those who were prominent as leaders in winning Democratic victories. It does not seem to me that the successors of these old leaders naturally give rise to great confidence or hope. Still I cannot rid myself of the idea that our party which has withstood so many clashes with our opponents Is not doomed at this time to sink into a condition of useless and lasting decadence. “I have lately corne to the conclusion that our best hope rests upon the nomination of Johnson of Minnesota. The prospects to my mind appear as bright with him as our* leader as with any other, and whether we meet with success or not, I believe with a leader we shall take a long step in the way of return to our old creed and the old policies and the old plans of organization which have heretofore led us to victory.”
