INTERRUPTED CALvE.-In the third
act of Carmen" in Buffalo, on Tuesday
night, Calve was interrupted while
singing by q scream. In Miss Elizabeth
Gates's box sat Miss Maria Love, per-
haps the best known woman in Buffalo,
the leader in many charities and die
tator in social circles. Calve was sing
ing ardently when sharp scream took
the attention of the audience from the
singer to the Gates box.
1t was Miss Love who screamed. She
spraDg up excitedly, started to climb on
her chair, and then fell back into the
recesses of the box. Calve turned with
a startled look and peered into the box.
The other players forgot themselves,
and some left the stage. Half OF the
audience stood up. Manager Max
Hirsh ran to the door of the box, and
as he opened it mouse scurried across
his foot into hole in the wall.

ENcAMPMEKT OF PYTHlANS.
Eighteenth Gathering of the Uniform Rank
of the Order at cfeve-

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Aug. %. The
eighteenth encampment Uniform Rank,
Knights of Pythias, opened informally to-
night and the formal dedication will take
place Monday afternoon. Major-General
Carnahan, who is at the head of the Uni
form Rank, inspected the encampment,
which consists of 1000 tents, and formally
accepted it. He Immediately went into
camp with some of his staff officers al
ready on the ground.
The first arrival in camp was the Second
Ohio Regiment, consisting of 600 men,
who reached the grounds headed by a
band at Pm. A few minutes later a
company from Virginia appeared on the
tented field. These are the only States
represented at present, for most of the
uniformed Knights will not reach here
until Sunday and Monday.
Supreme Chancellor Walter B. Richie is
also in the city. His labors will begin
early in the week, when he will call to or
der the Supre me Lodge of the World. Mr..
Richie said that the order now consists of
very nearly 500,0 600 and is constantly grow
ing, and prided himself on the fact that in
times OF trouble the military branch OF the
order can offer $4,000 men drilled in the
United States tactics.
The Supreme Lodge will consider next
week early the refusal on the part OF the
three German lodges in Richmond, Louis
vile and Chicago to discard the German
ritual. Chancellor Richie said that if the
lodges insisted on using it they will be
disbanded.

SECRETARY SMITH TO RETIRE.
Political Reasons Cause Him. to Be
Anxious to Leave cIeVeionds
Cabinet

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 22.-There
is the best reason for believing that the
Secretary of the Interior, Hoke Smith, has
resigned and that his resignation will take
effect within two weeks. Stories of Secre-
tary Smiths resignation have been cur
rent in Washington ever since his paper,
the Atlanta Journal, came out for Bryan
and SewalI, but the Secretary declined
and still declines to admit that his resig-
nation has been rendered to the President
and accepted.
The reason of his refusal to talk is that
he is not alone concerned in the matter.
The wishes of the President necessarily
rule in the matter OF publication. 1t is
known, however, that Smith has declined
to extend consideration of cases in his de-
partment over which he has jurisdiction
beyond the end of August.
Moreover. the private papers of the Sec
retary and his private library have been
shipped by express to Atlanta, and his law
offices in that city are being made ready
for occupancy. The house which the
Secretary leased in this city during his in
cumbency will be given up at its expira-
ton early in September, at which time L.
is quite certain 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 Septem Der 2.

FOURTEEN SB4MEN PERISH.
The Italian Ship Cianrpe sinks the
Schooner MotGette.


Schooner Mouette.
LONDON, Eng, Aug The Italian ship
francesca Ciampe, Captain Maresca, three
days out from Swansea, on her way to
San Francisco, arrived at Falmouth TODAY
showing the effects of hard treatment.
Her bow plates were badly bent and some
of her frames broken.
She reported that on Tuesday, while off
the Sciily Islands, she collided with the
French schooner Mouette from Iceland
for Fon brieux. The schooner was almost
cut in halves and sank in a Jew minutes.
Everything possible was done by those
on the Ciampe to save the crew OF the
sinking vessel Ten of the crew were
picked up and were landed here this mora
ing, but fourteen of the crew went down
in the ill-fated vessel.
The damage TO the Ciampe is not seri.
Gus, and she can soon be repaired. There
is considerable dispute concerning the
cause of the disaster. Both sides accuse
the other of neglect and of being respon-
sible. The condition of the bow OF the
Ciampe, and the fact that the French
schooner sank so quickly show that the
Italian ship must have run her down.
