SECRETARY SMITH.
Question as to Whether He is to Go
Out of the Cabinet Yet Unsoived.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-One of the
most interesting unsolved problems in
Washington to-day is the question
whether Hoke Smith of Georgia has re-
signed or is about to resign as Secre-
tary of the Interior. There is a prevail.
ing impression that the Presidents ac-
ton to-day in selecting West Virginia
man at the request of Mr. Wilson for
Union Pacific Railroad director, an Of
flee under the control of the Interior
Department, was intended as a direct
snub to Secretary Smith, and was
meant to be so regarded by him, espe-
cially as there does not appear to have
been any pretense made by the Presi-
dent of asking the advice of the Secre-
tary of the Interior on the matter
Mr.. Cleveland's known views against
the free coinage of silver were entirely
in accord with those expressed by his
Secretary of the Interior in his recent
joint discussion with ex-Speaker Crisp
in Georgia. But the fact that Mr.
Smiths newspaper, the Atlanta Jour
nal," has since come out in favor of
Bryan and Sewall and free silver, and
the further fact that Mr.. Smith himself
is advertised to open the campaign in
favor of Bryan and free silver at Au-
gusta, have naturally revived the ru-
mors that Mr.. Smiths resignation will
either be requested or enforced within
few days.
Secretary Smith, being asked this
evening whether it was true that he
proposed to go to Gray Gables for con-
sultation with President Cleveland prior.
to entering on the Georgia campaign,
declined to make any statement for

COLORADO REPUBLICANS.
McKinIeyites Gain a Victory Before
the State Committee.

DENVER, July 29.-The Republican
State Central Committee, by vote of
4S to ~, to-day adopted a resolution in
dorsing the st. Louis platform and the
Nominees, Mckinley and Hobart, and
urging the State Convention to select
Presidential Electors pledged to vote
for the candidates of the Republican
party This result, however, was not
obtained until after three hours had
been consumed in the most bitter de-
bate, replete with personal abuse and
displays of passion.
Irving HoWbert Chairman, retired
from the chair when this vote was an
nounced, he having previously indicated
a desire to resign from the Office, and
j. W. L. Hodges was elected to succeed
him The new Chairman announced as
a rule to be observed that all members
of the State Committee who did not
intend to vote for Mckinley and Ho-
bart would not be recognized, and he
asked them to leave the noom, adding
that should they decline to do this he
would neither recognize them nor per-
nit their votes to be recorded.
This was a firebrand which caused
an instantaneous explosion, and per-
sonal violence seemed imminent. A
woman member calmed the angry men
by securing the floor, and begged the
committee to listen to her. Then she
asked the Chairman to give the boilers
time to repent. This sally excited the
men considerably, and after a protest
had been made by many of Hodges sup
porters he withdrew the ruling.
A motion to delegate the power of the
7 tesp 10 of
with full executive power, was pre-
scented, but under protest it was amend
ed to the extent that the committee re-
port its action to the whole committee.
A recess was taken until s o'clock
The adoption of the resolution shows
that Senator Wolcott's friends are in
the majority, and will have their way.
Mr.. Wilson, one of the St Louis bolt
ers, is leading the minority, and boldly
asserted in the committee his intention
to support Bryan and Sewall. I'VE will

ton meets" was his defiance.
After another exciting time tonight
the committee accepted the report of
the subcommittee, which sets the time
and place for holding the State Conven-
tion, September Both at Colorado
