HOKE SMITH,.
All Signs Indicate That He win Return to At
lanta Early in September-As to
His Successor

Washington, Aug. 22.-There are best
of reasons for believing that Secretary
Hoke Smith has resigned the secretary
ship of the interior, and his resignation
will take effect within two weeks, al
though the secretary declines to affirm or
deny the statement. Stories of Secretary
Smiths resignation have been current in
Washington ever since his paper the
Atlanta Journal, came out for Bryan and
Sewall.
The secretary has declined and still
declines to admit that his resignation
has been rendered to the president and
accepted, for the reason that he is not
alone concerned in the matter, as the
wishes of the president necessarily rule
in the matter of publication. 1t is
known, however, that Mr. Smith has de-
clined to extend the consideration of
cases in his department, over which he
has jurisdiction, beyond the end of Au-
gust. The private papers of the secre-
tary and his library have been shipped
by express to Atlanta, and his law office
in that city is being made ready for oc-
cupancy. The house which the secretary
has leased in this city during his in
cumbency will be given up at the exp1ra-
tion of the lease early in September, at
which time it is quite certain that Mr..
Smith will have retired from the cabinet,
but this action may not take effect until
after the meeting of the Sound money"
convention at Indianapolis, which occurs
ron September 2.
1t is believed at the department that
the resignation takes effect August 81,
and that one of the two assistant secre-
taries Of the interior will be appointed
to succeed Mr.. Smith. The first assist
ant secretary is Gen. William Fl. Simms
of Mississippi, a native of Georgia, who
has especial charge of all Indian matters
and public parks reservations. General
Simms is absent from the city, and has
been so for some time. The position of
acting secretary in the absence of the
secretary has generally been filled by
the second assistant secretary, John M.
Reynolds of Pennsylvania. His duties
have especially pertained to pension mat
ters, which form one of the most lmpor-
tant features in the administration OF
the deDartment

BREAKS OUT >AF FRESH.
The Rate War Between Southern Steamship
Lines-SIashing Cut Their Railroad
Allies Are Hand-Ted

Baltimore, Aug. 22.-The rate war be-
tween the Bay line and the York River
line broke out afresh today when the lat
ter announced that it would meet the cut
in passenger rates put into effect by the
Bay line July IT, and would go under the
latter's cut in freight rates on Norfolk
business. The Merchants and Miners
Transportation company has taken a
hand in the fight, and announced that,
beginning next Monday. 1t would meet
the cut of the York River line. The ac-
ton of the York River line Is i'm retalia-
ton for the reduction by the Old Bay line
in passenger rates via its James river
route from Baltimore to Richmond from
81. 80 to 81, and the freight rates from %
cents to 10 cents per 100 pounds on first
class shipments, with similar reduction
on all other classes and commodities.
The action of the York River line would
seem to indicate that hopes of compro-
missing the differences have been aban-
doned, and that now 1t must be a fight
to the finish.
The railroad companies which are back
of the steamship companies In their fight
are temporarily hand-tied. United States
Judge Simonton, before whom the Sea-
board Air Line VS.. the Southern railroad
case was recently argued has not yet
disposed of the injunction suit, and the
rate slashing will therefore be confined
to the points reached by the boats.
Beginning Monday morning the York
River line and the Merchants and Min
ers' Transportation company will put in
to effect passenger rate between Balti-
more and Newport News and Norfolk of
81 and $1.50 for the round trip. Freight
rates will be reduced to 5 cents per 100
pounds on the three frst-classes and 3
cents per 100 pounds on the remaining
classes
The Bay line, 1t is expected, will meet
these reductions promptly, and possibly
cut under them, they having been the
