~ TO SUCCEED GAGE. Gov,. Shaw, of lowa, Accepts Tender - of Secretaryship of the - Treasury. . - Washington, Dec. 26.—1 t was announced authoritatively Wednesday evening that Gov. Leslie M. Shaw, of lowa, would be appointed secretary of the treasury to succeed Secretary Lyman J. Gage. There will be ne change in the office of secretary of agriculture; Secretary Wilson, also of Tlowa, continuing to retain that portfolio. The date of transfer of the treasury department will depend on the mutual convenience of the outgoing and incoming secretary, Mr. Gage having signified an entire willingness to remain at the head of his department until such time as it may 3 £ ) ; % - .

It is supposed, however, that Gov. Shaw will be inducted-into his new office. some time in January. It has been known_ for two or three days that Gov. Shaw was slated for appointment to succeed Secretary Gage, but it was not until WednesJay that the Towa executive signified that.-he would accept. : Gov.s Shaw is knewn both as a lawyer and a banker and, according to Senator Allison, one of the best authorities in the country, the former Towa governor is a deep student of finance. His experience of four years as state executive, it is believed, fully qualifies him to deal with the great mass of work in the treasury deparfment.
