RuMORs OF A CABINET ROW.
silver May Cause "A Split in the Pres
identiaI Family.

Washington July administration
circles were startled this afternoon by
the report OF threatened split in the
cabinet over the pending political COM
piications. A brief. but conspicuous para
graph appeared in an afternoon paper
here to the effect that Secretary Hoke
Smith has informed several intimate
friends in the south OF his purpose 10 sup
port Bryan and Sewal. and that II the
President and his cabinet bolt the Chi
cago ticket either for Mckinley or for
a sound money democratic ticket he
(smith) will retire from the cabinet with
out further ceremony.
When the Morning News correspondent
called upon Secretary Smith tonight, he
declined to discuss the subject further
than to say he had authorized no such
statement as reported. The rumored re-
tirement Of Secretary Smith from the
cabinet under the conditions named APP
pears to be purely matter of speculation
inspired by the position recently assumed
by the Atlanta Journal, OF which Sec
rotary Smith owns the controlling in
terest
The secretary's determination to support
the Bryan ticket, Notwithstanding his OBJ
lection TO the party platform, was outlin-
ed In these dispatches last week. Those
who have followed Secretary Smiths
course In the fight over the money ques-
ton are familiar with the position he as
sumed and the statements he made during
his joint debate with ex-Speaker Crisp in
the Georgia campaign. He then announce
ed that the struggle would be carried on
within the lines of the democratic party
and declared that he would abide by the
result.
The democratic national convention has
adopted a platform TO which he cannot
subscribe and nominated q candidate who
is not acceptable to him. The platform
and the nominee OF the republican party L.
even more Objectionable to him than the
action of the democratic party at Chica-
go. Under the circumstances he is con-
fronted with the alternative of voting for
the republican ticket or supporting Mr..
Bryan. In view of his utterances on the
stump in the Georgia campaign he cannot
bolt his party and go off with third party
movement. To nominate at this late day
sound money ticket and expect It to
produce practical results is not believed to
be feasible by those who still hope that
sound reasoning will prevail and induce
the majority of the voters to turn from
the free silver heresy.

lima, was given TO Messrs. Weller Of Iowa
and Dor.nblazer of Texas. For some rea-
son no official transcript of the proceed
ings was made. 1t was impossible on
this account to give the exact vote by
states for the several candidates for per-
manent chairman. Enough is known. how
ever. to warrant the statement that the
southern states generally supported Mr.
CampIOn and Senator Butler, while Mr..
Aliens vote came almost wholly from the
eastern and western delegates. whose
states are advocating the nomination of
Mr. Bryan. The middle of the road peo-
pie whose votes were divided between
Messrs. Campion and Butler. insist that
the vote in committee to-day does not
furnish a real test of the relative strength
of the Bryan and the anti-Bryan forces.
They say that a number of states, whose
delegates voted for Mr.. Alien have a
small representation I'm the convention.
while on the other hand some of the
largest delegations here are lighting Bry-
an. yet they had but one vote in com
mittee to cast either for Mr.. Camplon or
Mr. Butler.

RUINED BY A WOMAN AND RUM.
A Former Savannahian Probably
Fatally wounds His Mistress.

Atlanta. Ga, July 23.-Nellie Spencer,
a well-known woman of the half-world,
was shot and probably fatally wounded
by Isaac Kreigshaber in house on Col
Inns street tonight
After trying to kill the woman, with
whom he was infatuated. Kreigshaber
made desperate attempt to take his own
life, but was prevented.
When Kregshaber went to see the wo-
man tonight a quarrel occurred. He had
been drinking, and in a drunken passion
drew his pistol At sight of the weapon,
the woman threw her hands across her
bosom, the ball striking one of her fin
gers and glancing downward and piercing
the lung. But for glancing against her
finger. the bullet would have gone straight
through her heart.
When Kreigshaber was taken to the po-
lice station he tried to hang himself with
a towel, and then with his coat. When
deprived of his clothing he dashed his
head against the iron bars to knock his
brains out, and had to be placed in a
padded cell.
Kreigshaber is well connected socially
and In business. He is a salesman for
the Southern Agricultural Works and has
a pretty house in Inman Park. He is a
brother of Victor Kreigshaber, formerly
of Savannah, where he was connected
with the Central railroad for years
