 s'What has led you to resigna" asked a re- porter of Mr. Litchman this afternoon. ssI desired to be free to act as a citizen in this campaign. my letter to Chairman Quay simply uttered my own individual convictions. No one was responsible for them but myself At the same time could not retain my official position in the Knights while interested politically, because it is against the principles of the order fer any of it's members to engage in politics on the strength of their connection. To clear my the fair name of the Knights I have conclud- ed to resign"

Great Damage to Property i'm Little
 Rock, Ark.-SiK Lives Lost.
 LITTLE ROCK, Aug. 31.-The Gazette's Hot Springs special says: Ruin and wreck meet the vision everywhere and nothing like it has been known to compare with the results of last nights storm. It was @ waterspout and the valley was swept with mighty tidal wave. The loss to property is fearful, while the sacrifice of human life is appalling. The storm struck the town about II o'clock from . northwesterly direction. It was aeeompan' jed by cool wind not strong enough to do damage. Rain fell in torrents till o'clock o'clock without intermission or cessation.
 At the close of the storm great and ominous sound, mingled with shouts of peo- pie and cries of distress, went up from the valley, and such citizens as were in the vicin- ity of the reek and ravines went out to render assistance. Several large hotels were flooded to depth of four feet. Many buildings were totally wrecked. Up to this hour six persons are known to be missing, five oi whom have been found dead in wrecked buildings. The damage to property is esti mated at $100, 600.
