CARLISLE MAY RESIGN.
Rumor Tint lie VIII he Appointed

tN deiluE tON skal.J
It is reported here that Secretary Car
Isle may retire from the Cabinet before
the expiration Of his term. The report is
based on the belief that Justice Field is
soon to retire from the Supreme Brench,
and that Mr.. Carlisle will be appointed 10
succeed him. Justice Field Is In that
state of health that his friends fear Tor

personally fond Of Carlisle.
Feeling as he does toward Carlisle II
is believed I'm certain quarters that he
will resign IN order to make a place on the
bench for the Secretary of the Treasury.
The fear that Secretary Carlisle would
not be confirmed by the Senate If appoint
