DAVE GETS HOkE'S JOB.

Cleveland Calls M,ssouris Ex-Goyer-
nor Into HIS CABINET.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 24-Ex-
Governor David r. Francis of Mis-.
souri,, will succeed Hoke Smith as
Secretary of the Interior. This
news came tonight from Gray Gables
and with it comes the announcement
that Mr.. Francis has accepted the
position and will assume its duties
when Mr.. Smith retires next Satur-
day.
Secretary Smith has long been de-
termined to leave the Cabinet. It is
no secret that he and the other
members of the Presidents official
family have disagreed as to questions
Of party policy. Secretary Smith
announced his intention to support
the nominees of the Chicago couven-
tion and this,it is believed is rsspoa.
sible for his resignation.
Hoke Smith was the most popular
member of the Cabinet. In leaving
it he carries with him not only the
respect but the admiration and good
will of Mr.. Cleveland and his coad
tutors. Mr.. Smiths independence
of thought long ago gained him Mr..
Cleveland's confidence and friends
of the administration say tonight
that the President parts with the
Georgia man regretfully. They are
close friends and nothing but g
sense that duted pointed different
ways for each would have made the
resignation acceptable.
It is believed here that Governor
Francis will accept.
Ex Governor Francis is one of th'
best known among Western pollti
clans. He has always been a grea
admirer of President Cieveland
administration. Mr.. Francis hal
practically dictated all the appoint
ments made in the Eastern part O
the state,
MIR. Francis has always been ad
vocate of sound money. He has dis
claimed being a gold monometallis
and has steadily declined to act wit

Madison, Fla.

Madison, Fla, Aug 23,-George
Page and Will Morgan, young men
who live near here, fought last night
one of the most remarkable dnels on
record. For six months Page and
Morgan have been rivals for the af-
fections of pretty Young lady. The
girl distributed her !nvors ilnpartl.
ally between the young men, and
this served to increase the bitterness
of their rivalry. Last night Page
and Morgan attended dance, at
which the young lady WAS present.
She was in a more coquettish mood
than usual, and her conduct soon
| drove the rivals 20 desperation
! Finally Page invited Morgan to ac.
company him for walk Morgan
consented, and as soon as they were
outside Page proposed that as each
was armed they take each other by
the left hand and shoot out the
quarrel, the survivor TO take the girl.
Morgan agreed and then with left
hands clasped they drew their pis-
tolls and began firing. The pistol
shots attracted the attention OF the
merry makers and they rushed out
to find both men On the ground
weltering in blood. Morgan was
dead and Page was dying Each
man bad fired FIVE shots. aud each of
the shots had taken effect The
young lady for whom the duel
was fought viewed the bodies with
seeming composufe, and heard the
dying Page relate the story OF the
tragedy. 1t now transp!res that the
girl WAS affianced to another while
. receiving the attentions OF Page aud
Morgan.

New York. Aug. 20-Chairmau
Hanna threw mighty scare into
the Republican leaders yesterday.
Although he wore a smiling face and
openly said everything was going
well, he brought the news for the
Eastern members of the Executive
Committee that the outlook for Nc
kinley is far from satisfactory.
Mr.. Hanna will not for one mom-
ent concede defeat in any of the
States that go TO make up the battle
ground, but he told every friend
with whom he talked privately that
the ticket could only be elected by
the most tremendous exertions, con-
tinued every day from now until
November 3rd.
The great battle ground, as the
Republicans see it, is compact. 1t
includes the States of Michigan, Iii.
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis
consin, Nebraska and Kentucky.
The roseate reports about Illinois
being solid for Mckinley by $4,000
are now conceded by the Republi-
cans to have put out for the benefit
of the marines. Unless the situa.
tion changes between now and Oct.
they confess no man will be able to
tell with confidence in his prediction
how Illinois will vote.
Mr. Hanna talked plainly to his
confdants. One of them later said
that in Michigan Republican leaders
aud newspapers have bolted McKin-
ley Ia favor of free silver. The Re
pablicans have no State organization
: worthy of the name. SO useless is
it that Chairman Hanna is about tc
, direct his energies to creating some
: sort of Republican machine in Mich
igan.
, In Indiana, too, the Republican,
; are all at sea State Chairman Gowdy
refuses to make any prediction as te
| how the State will go.
