THE PASSING
AWAY OF HOKE.
The Interior Department Will
Know Him No More.

Washington, Aug. 22,-Foi
some time rnmors have appear,
ed in print on the probability
of the early resignation Of Sec
rotary Hoke Smith. There is
now no doubt but that be has
resigned and that his resigna-
ton has been accepted. For
some days past the shipments
have been made to Atlanta of
his books aud papers, and it is
learned that he has declined to
set any departmental arguments
to be heard by him for a date
later than this month. 1t can
safely be assumed that a sue
cessor will be in charge of navy
afaira in a short time.
Since the nomination of
Bryan and Sewall became
known that Secretary Smith ii
was the only member Of the
cabinet who announced The pur-
pose to support that ticket aud
that this action on his part,
while not in any way affecting
his personal relation between
himself and the other members
of the cabinet seemed so MA
teriaI to him that he felt con
strained to tender his resig.
nation.
The secretary declines to dis
cuss the subject in any way.
Ever since The runners of the
probable resignation Of Sec
rotary Smith, there has been
more Of less gossip concerning
his probable successor and at
the i Inferior department the
second assistant secretary of
the department has been men
toned frequently for the place.
Mr.. y. Reynolds has made an
excellent executive officer. He
has bad charge OF the difficult
work Of review of pension de-
cision of the pension bureau
and he has given general sat
isfaction. He is a native Of
Pennsylvania.
The new cabinet officer will
have only a little more than six
months to serve and it is re
garded as probable that Mr..
Cleveland would prefer to fill
the vacancy from the depart.
ment rather than fill the place
by appointment of some one
who would be new to the work
which involves acquaintance
with a great variety Of matters
affecting the public welfare.

THE CRUISER

ONOOAL1 ~.
Philadelphia, Aug. 22-Amid
the shrill blasts ofwhisdes from
the river craft and hearty
cheers Of the spectators on
shore. the cruiser Brooklyn,
sister ship of the magnificent
New York, passed down the
Delaware river this morning
on her way to Boston where
she will be given her trial trip
early next week. If everything
is favorable a preliminary run
will be made over the Official
course on Monday and the
official trial under these con-
ditions VIII take place on We'd
nesday.
The Brooklyn is guaranteed
to make 20 knots and for each
over this speed the gov
eminent will pay the builders
a bonus of $4,000.

REPUBLICAN, D|IssENsIoN.

While Mckinley enthusiasts
are offering to lay long odds
on the success OF their man,
Republican dissenaions con
linue to grow apace.
The leaders in New York,
like the bosses in Missouri, ale
at outs, and the hope of Repnb-
lican harmony and good will
seems to be as remote in one
State as in the other.
Boss Plat is determined to
rule the State Convention,
which meets next Tuesday. He
has the majority Of the dele
gates, but Miller is apparently
determined 10 have a share IL
the honors which the conven-
ton is to award, or to knife the
ticket which is nominated.
According to tue latest dis
patches, he means to have a
second convention, thus caus
ing a division in the ranks
which would be pretty certain
to result in the casting of New
York's electoral vote for Bryan.
Hanna is booked to sweep
on The convention, and,
through the promise Of Federal
patronage to the Millerites, to
prevent a bolt. Even then the
followers of Miller will make a
desperate effort to defeat the
State ticket, and in return The
Plat me will endeavor to de-
feat national ticket. Taking
this division in New York with
the determination of The Re
publicans in the West to vots
for Bryan, the Republican out
look is as gloomy as the Demo
cratic outlook is bright.
The only hope ofRepnblican-
ism lies in Hanua's bags of
gold, and gold never yet con
trolIed the masses of the Unit
ed States when they were
watching. That they are awake
this year is proved by the in
tense discussion of the currency

 Who did not in some measure spare, Some infant shield, for some would care Thou sparest none and all are slain! The passions are thy minions' slaves. And when infiamed as demons dire, They dance around a heilish fire Of lurid flame. above their graves! A waltz of ghouis, where incarnate
 The drunken passions frenZied meet Here lust, pale envy and deceit, Base treachery joins hands with hate! When rythmic whirl of dance is OCT, Mid shadows dim and feverish dream The soul takes wing In ftful gleam Of fires that burn forevermore!

He Was state Attorney of Connecti-
cut for Nearly Twenty Years.
New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 8.-Tilton E.
Doolittle, state attorney for New Ha-
ven county, rendered his resignation to
Judge Ralph Wheeler of the superior
court yesterday afternoon just as the
daye business closed. The resignation
took effect at once. In accepting it
Judge Wheeler said that he did SO
with reluctance, and that Mr.. Doolit-
ties withdrawal from office would oc-
casion great loss to the administra-
tion of justice. The judge then an
nounced that he would appoint tenn
porarily to the office William N. Will
liams of Derby. Mr.. Doolittle held the
Office of state attorney for nearly
twenty years, succeeding Orville II.
Platt, when that gentleman resigned
to go to the United States senate. Mr..
Doolittle has no definite plans, but it
is believed that he will travel for some
time to coi.1o. It is ssia in certain le-
gal circles that Mr.. Doolittle's retire
ment may end the famous Lee Written
cases, which have been in the courts
for two or three years in one form or
another. 1t is argued that new man
in the office could not conduct the
cases as Mr.. Doolittle could.

ESTATE Valueu at fOO,OOO.
New York, Jan. 9.-The will of
Patrick Mullen, the famous gun maker
and experimenter, who died a short
time ago at his home in Flatbush, has
been filed for probate. The value OF
the estate disposed of by will is fixed
at $4,000. Mr.. Mullen, was, during
the later years of his life, somewhat
eccentric and nearly all of his time was
spent in the perfecting of a gun, which
he had patented and brought to high
state of perfection. He carried on his
experiments in secret, zealousiy guard
ing the fruits of his work. Under the
will William Vincent Farrell, nephew
of the deceased, is to have the in
come of $4,000 for life. Should he die
without issue the income of $4,000 is
to go to the Home for Aged of the Lit
tie Sisters of the Poor of New York.
The residuary estate is bequeathed to
Timothy d. Sullivan, lord mayor of
Dublin, to be used for teaching the
Irish language.

opinion that most of the gold now be-
