MR.. HOKE SMITH OUT
Little Doubt But That Secretary
Of the Interior Will Retire
From the Cabinet.

Mr.. BRYAN's ITINERARY

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 22.----
There are probably the best of reasons
for believing that Secretary of the In.
terror Hoke Smith has resigned, and
that his resignation will take effec'
within two weeks. Stories Of Secretary
Smiths resignation have been current
in Washington ever since his paper,
the Atlanta. Ga., Journal, came out
for Bryan and Sewall. The secretary
has declined, and still declines, to ad-
NIT that his resignation has been ten
dered to the president and accept
Ell by him. 1t is known,
however, that Mr.. Smith has declined
to extend further consideration Of cases
In his department, over which he has
jurisdiction, beyond the end Of August.
The private papers OF the secretary and
his library have been shipped by ex-
press to Atlanta, and his law offices in
that city have been made ready for oc-
cupancy. The house which the secre-
tary leased IN this city during his in
cumbency will be given up at its expi-
ration, early in September, at which
time 1t is quite certain that MIR. 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 oc-
ours September End.

CALL ON MCKINLEY.


CANTON, Ohio, august %. - The
most notable political demonstration
of the campaign occurred in this city
to-day at noon when 1.200 voters from
Newcastle, Elwood rnd other points in
Lawrence county, Penna., arrived on
two special trains and marched up to
The Mckinley residence to call on the
republican candidate for president.
TIE visitors were addressed by Major
Mckinley, who made one of the most
earnest speeches that has fallen from
bis lips. The first part of the spec b
was devoted to the tariff. He said
that no one is satisfied with the pres
ent conditions; everyone wanted a
change. He then made the point that
TO elect Bryan would be to put the
free-trade wing of the democratic
party in power and so give to the
country, not only free silver, but free
trade. The continued absence Of the
principle Of reciprocity from our laws
caused q continuation of the present
unhappy condition.
