News Notes.


News Notes.
GREAT FALLS, Aug. 7.-[Special. The
Great Falls postoffice has been suffering
from a dearth of two-cent stamps for seve-
raj days past, and the citizens have howled
considerably in consequence. Early in
July Postmaster Taylor ordered 10000
from Washington. but the order must have
miscarred, for none have been received up
to date. Several days ago the limited sup
ply on hand was exhausted, and soon none
could be procured in the city, patrons of
Uncle Sans mail being compelled to use
huge stamped envelopes and four-cent
stamps. Postmaster Taylor temporarily
relieved the situation by sending to Helena
and other points and obtaining all they
could spare, but again the grim spectre of
postage stamp poverty is staring the citi-
zens in the face. Business men are seri-
ously Inconvenience by the failure of the
stamp crop.
Work has been recommended Oh the

are engaged laying rails. Barkerites conf

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE two factions of tho
democratic party in Chicago united to-
night after long and bitter fight which
has allowed the republicans to win two i'm

with Ex-Mayor Carter H. Harrison, who
claimed to have been sufferer from the
arbitrary control of party machinery by Es-

adopted at the meeting of representatives
of both factions tonight is a decided nov

A Pittsburx Failure.

PrrTsBuRa, Aug. 7.-Business and finan-

MOBILES RESIGNATION.
Gossip Revived by Recent Letter From
the Woods.

Gossip Revived by Recent Letter From
the Woods.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA letter has been
received at the interior department from
Secretary Noble. 1t says nothing about
when the secretary will return, and makes
no reference to the secretary's intentions.
1t is nevertheless considered rather signifi-
cant, because instructions are contained
that certain official papers shall be for
warded to the secretary in the woods.
When Gen. Noble left here he directed with
some emphasis that no official papers should
be sent to him. He left his address with
one man in the interior department
and placed upon him an injunction
not to make known the address except
in matter of grave Importance. The an
nouncement was made IN the papers that
the secretary had gone to Riehiield Springs.
The fact is. he went beyond Kichtield
Springs and into the Wilderness, leaving but
one person in the interior department ac
tually i'll possession of the means of reach
ing him him. Gen; an1 Noble's To- ..h expression IS g
self in the woods.'' He did it pretty
effeotually, but now letter has been
received from him in which he calls for GER
tain official papers. This prompts the i'm
preston at the interior department that he
is coming back to do some mole work. 1t
is also interpreted as meaning that Gen.
Noble has found the complete relaxation
advantageous to his health. While plead
ing utter ignorance of the story of resigna-
tion and aft ming, for publication, disbe-
lief in it, some of Gen. Mobiles subordinates
talk quite differently among themselves,
and with those to whom they feel they can
express their real opinions. One high
official has said:
"While the secretary may have had some
idea of taking such step while ago, l do
not believe that he is now of that mind.
believe he means to come back and go to
work again."
The news that Gen. Noble had offered his
resignation was brought to Washington
from Cape May. 1t arrived here simulta-
neously with the meeting of the executive
committee of the republican national com
mittee. 1t was a subject of discussion
public. But that is only part of the ba-
sis for the statement. The president, in
conversation with several different per-
sons upon important matters pending
before the interior department., has
discussed them in such a way as to
leave the impression that a change in the
head of the department WAS among the near
possibilities. There is hardly anybody in
Washington who does not think there is
something" in the report of Gen. Mobiles
resignation. There are many who think the
resignation was offered and refused by the
president, with the understanding that Gen.
Noble was to try the effect of good long
rest before thinking of any such step. And
tance of the resignation is only question
of a few weeks, and that the president is
even now considering the question of sue.
