Secretary Hoke Smith win Soon Retire
 from the Interior Department.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 34.--The news that Secretary Hoke Smith had re- signed and that his resignation had been accepted by the president crea- ted 8 considera ble stir in political cir cles here yesterday, although the probability of Mir. Smiths retirement had been, in Q measure, anticipated ever since his paper, the Atlanta Jour- nal, declared that it would support Bryan and Sewall. Mir. Smith still de- clined to discuss the subject yesterday, but it is known that the personal re- lations between the president and Mir. Smith have in no wise been disturbed. Mir. Smiths resignation. his friends say, grew out of his differences with his chief on the question of party policy and his desire not to embarrass the president at such time. Beyond the question of his conception of his party loyalty in acquiescing in the will of the majority, MT. Smith, during his campaign for the gold standard in Georgia against eX-Spcaker Crisp, had given Q personal pledge that he would, if defeated, support the nomi- nee of the convention. As an honor able man, his friends say, he felt it his duty to redeem that pledge. He in. formed the president of his position and his intentions. and to avoid embar- rassments placed his resignation at his disposal. It can be stated with great positiveness that the step which Secretary Smith felt himself compelled to take has not in any way affected the warm regard the president and Mir. Smith entertained for each ntLer
