CARE NAY July 31.-The reported resignation
from tho Cabinot Of Secretary Noble was abso-
lutely and emphatically denied this morning
by Private Secretary Hhlford on behalf OF the
President. Secretary Haliord said: There Is
no truth in 1t. Secretary Noble has not re-
signed from the Cabinet. and as far as the
President knows. has no intention OF doing So"

WASHINGTON. July MISUNDERSTANDING the
denials that come from Cape MAY and from de-
partment officials in Washington that Secre-
tary Noble has rendered his resignation to the
President. there is tho very best authority for
saying that the Secretary has notified the
Pre- ident that lie desires to retire from the
Cabinet. Tho resignation was not mado In tho
usual formal way. to DO acted upon ut
once. but tho President has been asked
by Con. Noble to retire him. and Mr..
Harrison has promised to do so IS
soon as he can look about him and
find the proper person to place at the head Of
the Interior Department. There is no doubt
OF the accuracy Of this statement 1t IL be-
cause the President finds the utmost difficulty
in making the recast OF his Cabinet made neo-
essary by Secretary Mobiles withdrawal that
he wishes the impression to 20 abroad that
there has been no resignation. He does not
wish tn be burlened at this time with the task
of listening to the appeals Of the politicians in
behalf OF various candidates. The President
| has worry enough upon his mind. and II 1t be-
came known that there was vacancy In the
Cabinet the remainder OF his vacation at Care
May would be made weary one. Hence the
denial Is sent out.

authority Of a man who knows Just what he Is
