New York Aug. 28. Political ad-
vices from this place tell of a threat-
ened rupture between President Roose-
velt and the United States Senators
Mr Piatt and Mr Depew of this place
If the break occur It will probably not
be as serious ao the famous one In
which Mr Piatt figured once before
when lie and President Garfield were
at odds but after all may be grave
enough to attract wide attention The
rumored frettou is over patronage ot
course as it was in the former case
Senators Piatt and Deitew have recom-
mended Mr. Robert 0 Morris for ap-
pointment as United States district at-
torney for the southern district of New
York to succeed Henry L. Burnett.
Mr. Morris is known to 1 a clean able
and prominent young Ibepublfafu. and
a good law)er. He waa formerly preal
dent ot the HepubHonn county Commit-
tee a fill has frlontls anion the ballon
nl aa well as the state politicians'. Tht
two senators recommended llu fur
the place and announced that Ufty had
no se-contt choice. Thoy wantd Mr
ptopria appointed. Then thty fn foul
f President Roosevelt's wan. He
had picked James IC Sheffield fW the
place. The trouble ha leen brewing
for soimt time. Mr. Sheffield am the
president are stftilfJlng pat on Oie dls-
trt atiorneyahlp. The case rests
theru for the present. Senators Piatt
and Deiww return) to withdraw their
recominandhUon of Mr Morris and the
