The letter was dated yesterday, but the fact that such a letter had been written or that Spooner contemplated resigning did not become known in the Senate until late today. The news created great surprise, and the Wisconsin Senator ct once found himself the subject of many anxious Inquiries. To all these he replied that his mind was fully made vj>. He said that he has found that to continue in his present position would demand a sacrifice on his part that he could not justify himself In making. In reply to questions he said he would resume the practice of law, but de clined to say whether he would be located In \u25a0Wisconsin. He did say. how ever, that he would continue to be a citizen of that State as long as he lived. It was reported authoritatively to night that Senator Spooner's largest and most important retainer would be from E. H. Harrim'an. Senator Spooner refused to discuss this proposition, but some of his friends declared that the had been completed and that Spooner would join the Harriman legal forces as chief counsel. There has been a story that Spooner would be placed on the bench of the United States Supreme Court. This is not true. Senator Spooner said tonight that there was no appointive office within the gift of the Government that he would resign his seat In the Senate to accept. ' On being Informed of Senator Spoon «r's resignation. President Roosevelt made the following statement: •"I cannot sufficiently express my re gret at Senator Spooner's resignation. We lose one of the ablest, most ef ficient, most fearless and most upright public servants that the nation has had." MILWAUKEE.

Governor Davidson would not discuss the probable successor, other than to say he presumed one of the "Wisconsin Congressmen, such as Cooper .and Esch, who were 'candidates for the Sen atorship at the time Senator La Follctte was elected to succeed Senator Quarlcs, would again enter the field. Governor Davidson said he would not be a can didate. Lieutenant W. D. Conner, of whom mention hats been made at various times as a possible successor to Senator Spooner when his term expired, cx prossed surprise at the news of the resignation, but was not prepared at the time to make a statement.
