HOKE SMITHS RESIGNATION.
1t is Said to Have Been Accepted by
the President.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-There Is
the best reason for believing that the
Secretary of the Interior, Hoke Smith,
has resigned, and that his resignation
will take effect within two weeks. Sto-
ries of Secretary Smiths resignation
have been current in Washington ever
since his paper, the Atlanta Journal,
came out for Bryan and Sewall but the
Secretary declined and still declines to
admit that his resignation has been ten
dered to the President and accepted.
The reason of his refusal to talk is
that he is not alone concerned in the
matter. The wishes of the President
necessarily ruled in the matter of publ
cation. 1t is known, however that
Smith has declined to extend considera-
ton of cases in his department over
which he has jurisdiction beyond the
end of August.
Moreover, the private papers of the
Secretary and his private library have
been shipped by express to Atlanta, and
his law offices in that city are being
made ready for occupancy. The house
which the Secretary leased in this city
during his incumbency will be given up
at it's expiration early in September, at
which time it is quite certain Smith will
have retired from the Cabinet. but this
action may not take effect until after
the meeting of the sound money con-
vention at Indianapolis, which occurs
September ID
1t is said at the Department that the
resignation takes effect August I'D, and
one of the Assistant Secretaries of the
Interior will probably be appointed to
succeed MIR. Smith. The First Assis-
tant Secretary is General w. H. Sims
of Mississippi, a native of Georgia, who
has especial charge of all Indian mat
ters and public parks and reservations
General Sims is absent from the city
and has been some time. The position
of Acting Secretary during the absence
of the Secretary has generally been
filled by John NJ. Reynolds, Second AS
sistant Secretary. His duties have been
principally pension matters. General
Sims views on the money question are
understood to be tinged with free silver
1t is regarded as quite certain that the
new Cabinet officer, whoever he may be
will be in accord with the President on
the money question.

BERLIN, Aug. 22-The resignation
of General Bronsart Won Schellendorf
from the office of Minister of War con-
tinues to occupy the attention of the
press and the public and this has espec-
tally been the case since the Reich
sanZeiger," the official journal, pub
lished the announcement of the Minis
ter's retirement from Office supple
mented with the declaration that his
health was the main reason of his with
drawal Since then a storm of protests
has arisen on all sides, and instead of
pacifying the aSprehensions that the
country is on the brink .; grave minis
terial crisis, the statement of the organ
has intensified it,
Why, it is asked everywhere, did the
"Reichsanzeiger' issue such a state
ment and by whom was it's publication
authorized. Within the official circle
it is not known by anybody that the
publication of the declaration was as
sented to by Prince Hohenlohe, the I'm
perial Chancellor. or by any other men,
ber of the Ministry. If General Won
Hahnke, the Chief of the Military Cab
met, obtained the sanction of the En-
peror thus to make use of the official
gazette it is argued that the military
cabinet has obtained control of func-
tions which it should not have.
All of the criticisms are clearly fore
bodings of a fateful and stormy session
of the Reichstag, yet the newspapers
entirely overlook the fact that the chiefs
of the Federal States can interfere and
check the action of the Emperor if his
majesty shall be found to be attempt
ing any radical injury against the con-
stitution.
The resignation of General Won Schel-
lendorf and the officially reported inten-
tion of Prince Hohenlohe to retire does
not appear to comprise all of the Cabinet
changes that may possibly take place.
According to the Leipsic "Neueste
Nachrichten," Admiral Holman, Adj
miral Commander-in-Ch Chief of the I'M
perial Admiralty, will be the next Min
lister to offer his resignation, which will
he accepted without doubt.
Upcn the occasion of the bi-centennial
anniversary of the founding of the Ber-

the Emperor presented a number of gold
medals to artists who are exhibiting pic

Wings of the eagle aloft, aoo,

Wings of the storm bird swift and free
with wild winds sweeping across the sea
Often and often a voice in me sings
Oh, for the freedom, the freedom of wingsl
Oh, to winnow the air with wingsl
Oh, to float far above hurtfu things
Things that weary and wear aud fret
Deep in the azure to fly and forget.
To touch in a moment the mountains crest
Or haste to the valley for home and rest
To rock with the pine tree as wild birds may,
To follow the s. ilor summers day,
over and over a voice in me sings
Oh, for the freedom, the freedom of wings!
Softly re- ponsive a voice in me sings
Thou hast the freedom, the freedom of wingsl
Soon as the glass second can count
Into the heavens thy heart may mount;
Hope may dy to the topmost peak,
Lone its nest in the vale may SEEK
Outspeeding the sailor Faiths pinions may
Touch the ends of the earth in summers day.
Softly responsive voice in me sings
Thou hast the freedom, the freedom of wings
