Washington, August 24.-The resigna-
ton of Secretary Hoke Smith was the Cos
sip of the Interior Department to-day.
Many of his friends both within and out
SIDE the department called during the day
~ express regret at his coming departure.
n number have sent communications to
the Secretary expressing similar senti-
ments. Secretary Smith has no plans
looking to participation in the canvass of
the State under consideration and has so
far declined all invitations to speak His
intention is to resume law in earnest and
to rebuild the excellent practice he ell.
Joyed. He will practice alone. So far all
names mentioned in connection with the
cabinet portfolio form mere speculation.
Atlanta, August 1.-The resignation
of Secretary Hoke Smith will take effect
September 1. Whether his successor
will qualify on that date is not yet known.
Secretary Smith, according to his present
plans, will leave Washington on that day

will spend few days with his family,
who have been sojourning there part of

return to Atlanta and at once resume his
law practice.
Secretary Smith does not now contem-
plate active work in the political fight.
AS he explained to several of his friends.

as the strongest action that he could take
i'll the interest of the regular Democratic
nominees That he will later determine
to speak in the interests of the ticket is
possible.

A WRECK ON THE ROAD.

Pittsburg, August "a The through
Chicago mail train, No. II, on the Pitts
burg and Western railroad, which is due
in Allegheny at 1890 p M, was wrecked
in collision with a freight train at Val
encia station, twenty two miles from this
city, about noon. First reports were to
the effect that fifteen persons had been
killed, but this was not true. The latest
information is that no one was killed out
right, but that fifteen or twenty persons
were badly injured. A relief train with
the most seriously injured reached here
at o'clock this afternoon and the VIC
Tins were removed to Allegheny general

The Cruiser Brooklyn Will Earn for the
Cramps n Large Bonus.

Inc cruiser brooklyn VIII Earn Tor the
Cramps a Large. Bonus.
Boston, August 24-The United States
cruiser Brooklyn was given a prelimi
nary trial under force draught over the
official course between Cape Ann and
Cape Porpoise to-day. The average speed
for the round trip of SO knots was 2097
knots an hour, a very satisfactory per-
Torrance, al things considered. The con-
tract calls for a speed of 90 knots an hour
in run of four consecutive hours For
each quarter knot above this speed
premium of $50, 900 is allowed the build
ers. 1t is believed that on the official
trial on Wednesday speed of 81 2knots
will be recorded, in which event the ship
will earn for the Cramps the handsome
bonus of 100000. To-day's conditions
of wind and sea were absolutely perfect
for the trial. There was only slight
breeze blowing and the water was smooth
as glass For about two miles the aver
age was about % 1-2 knots. This great
speed was accomplished under circum-
stances that were eminently satisfactory
both to the representatives. Of the Cramps
and the naval officers on board.
