SoBbE mas RESIGNED.


render the Interior Portfolio.
New York Herald special.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-The next
important retirement from President
Harrison's political family will be that
of Secretary Noble. Four months ago
Mr.. Noble placed his resignation as
Secretary of the Interior in the Presi-
dents hands.
The reason assigned for his with
drawal from public life was the condi-
ton of his health. Mr.. Noble is troub-
led with an affection of the heart not
unlike that from which the late Score
tary Window died. 1t was, in fact, the
death of that gentleman which empha-
sized to Mr.. Mobiles mind the necessity
Of more quiet and tranquil existence
than is permitted to the possessor of the
interior portfolio, and his resignation
was not long in following.
PocKETED THE RESIGNATION.
President Harrison, however, was not
apparently alarmed by his Secretary's
physical condition and he pocketed the
resignation without acting upon it.
Secretary Noble has been absent from
Washington for the better part Of the
last few months, and it is not improb-
able that the rest may prove beneficial
In that event he will remain in the cab
met until next winter, when, it is be-
lievod, he will be appointed by Presi-
dent Harrison to one of the new United
States circuit judgeships created by the
lat Congress.
WHY SHOULD NOBLE GET ANGRY?
In view Of tho fact that Mr.. Noble re-
signed his portfolio four months ago it
is not little singular that he should
have so repeatedly denied any intention
of leaving the cabinet. Not only has
he denied IL, but he is reported on sew
eral occasions to have grown angry
when questioned about ii.
There is, however, no doubt of the
correctness of the statement. II is Off
cial.
CAPE MAY POINT, N. j., July 81
The reported resignation from the cabi-
net % Secretary Noble was absolutely
and emphstically denied this morning
by Private Secretary Halford on behalf
Of the President. Secretary Halford
said, their is not word of truth in it /;
Secretary Noble has not resigned from
the cabinet and so far as the President
knows has no intention Of doing so.
Secretary Proctor left Cape May this
morning for Washington. j. Sloat Fas-
sett Of Elmira, N. Y, who has been
designated BY the President as the sue
cessor of Collector Erlardt of New
York city, arrived here this morning
and ut once called upon the President.

TREAT FACTORY REyrED.

WIN Put IL in Operation.
The DciGuais DtI,orrut, (Georgetown)
says The Treat factory at the station,
now owned by the Farmers Bank and by
Clallin \ Company, of New York, has
been rented TO q perfectly responsible
party from Brooklyn, and in n short time
the silence that has so long roigned over it
will be broNen BY the busy hum of indus
try.
Our people are to be congratulated upon
the success of the efforts TO start this in
dustry again, this time upon II firm basis
The wages to be paid 10 the large number
Of hands that will be employed will put in
circulation in the community a great deal
of money that We are badly iii need of and
oil of us will be directly or indirectly BEN
Gifted thereby.
1t is the intention of MFR. Whitney to pay
his workmon cash for all they do, and the
order system, that is so unjust to the en-
ployes will not be used. II Is said too,
thar he does not intend TO carry on store
in connection with his business, but the
employees will be at liberty to purchase the
goods with cash wherever they please.
The establishment of this business upon
a firm basis will give the town boom
that will attract plants of other kinds, and
we may confidently expect Georgetown to
receive. an impetus that will greatly in
crease its size and wealth.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-The Chronicle
correspondence writes that the COM
manders of the different cruisers in the
liehring Sea have divided the sea in four
districts which are patrolled and scaling
vessels warned away. 1t is believed that
once having received the necessary legal
warning sealing vessels will leave the sea
but as about one-haf Of the feet has
avoided being served with notice it is
feared that some reckless captain will
trade in the seal islands and then clear
out. On July 18th, United States steamer
Rush picked W boat containing six men
lost their ship in fog three DAYS before
and were nearly dead from hunger and
exposure when found.

Ex-sEN4roR spooNERs OPINION
He Thinks President Harrison Will be
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Issues

CHICAGO, July 3l.-Ex-Senator John G.
Spooner Of Wisconsin is of the opinion
that President Harrison will be renomi-
mated
"The fact that there is great deal of
talk about Blaine" said he does not alter
my firm belief that Mr.. Harrison will be
the nominee. | am informed from a
source that believe to be reliable that the
sentiment Of majority OF the national
committee is in favor of MIR. Blaine, but
that cuts no figure. The nomination is
not made by the national committee, and
believe that the delegates of the people
will again want to wear the TippGcanoe
colors."
Aside from tho tariff issue he believes
the Federal Elections bill should be given
u place in the platform second only TO the
tariff question.
1T is not n party matter" he said.
THE detection Of u few members of the
Republican party when the Federal Elec-
tions bill came up in the Senate, after it
passed the House, did not settle that ques-
ton, and | am confident that the people
will find its solution during the next cam
paign.'

WASHINGTON, July 31.--Acting Sec
rotary Wharton asserts positively that
the department Of state is without any
information respecting the alleged sus-
pension of the Russian edict against the
Jews at the instance of this government.
Nothing has been heard from DIR. Craw-
ford, the United States consul gencral
at St. Petersburg for a long time past,
which is convincing proof to the depart
ment that no action Of such importance
as the suspension of the edict has been
ordered.

the Northwest.


DULUTH, MINI, July 3l.--Ieports from
the west continue to bring most favorable
adyices as to the hard wheat crop. The
Observation-Disclosures Company says
All our correspondents send lis most en-
couraging reports. At Lisbon, n. d..
where they had drought last year, there
is plenty of moisture, the wheat is filling
out well and The largest crop in years is
promised. From all parts of tile Red
River Valley we hear the same story, as
well as from the region between the Red
River Valley and DEVILS Lakes.
Spencer, Moore " Company says; We
have the best Of reports from all over the
northwest. We hear Of the promise of
nothing but enormous crops. The grain
is late. and harvesting will mot be general
throughout North Dakota until the 18th
or 10th Of next month. The only things
that need be feared are too much rain and
an early frost. Think Minnesota and
Dakota will have 10000, 00O to lis, 100000
bushels.
Nearly every other report received here
Is OF q similar nature, whether from eleva-
tor companies agents of grain firms,
farmers or crop experts.

Deutsehc Bank Loses 100000 Through
n Dishonest Clerk

BERLIN. July 3l.--By conspiracy, for
geries and tampering with the banks
books. clerk named Frank and broker
named Schweiger, have swindled the
Deutsche Bank out of at least sos, 600 pos
sibly great deal more, and escaped. The
police went after them at once, and
Schweiger was arrested last evening, but
Frank is believed TO be en- route to the
United States.
The discovery of the forgeries was due
to Schweiger, the broker, who, foreseeing
that detection was inevitable, disclosed the
state of affairs. The bank authorities are
uncertain Of the full extent of the liabili-
ties. They suspect other entanglements
besides those already discovered.
II is stated that the bank has already
paid liabilities amounting to S3,00O.00O III
cash. The directors and administrative
council, it is reported, have decided to
forego their royalties and current years

declined per cent, and bank stocks in
general are affected. The directors are
roundly abused and charged with neglect
