In 0fHcia1 Circles.
Washington. April H.-The story that
Secretary Bliss win resign shortly after
the President returns is on the rounds
again. The story has been going In .lif-
ferent forms since Mr.. Bliss entered the
cabinet, arising from the fact that the
New York man was strenuously urged
to take the place and did IT under pro-
test and with the intimation that when
the administration got the work well IN
hand he might lay down the reins.
In official circles 1t Is not believed that
Mr.. Bliss has any idea Of resigning IN the
near future.
The latest story gives the place 70 Mai.
Hanson Of Georgia. The confidence OF
President Mckinley in Maj. Hanson Is
not doubted, but there is not the least
prospect Of the Georgia man going into
the cabinet The purpose of the President
Is said to be that Mai. Hanson shall take
charge Of a reorganization OF the repub-
lican party OF the state. This could NOT
be done when Col Buck was IN command
in Georgia. Col. Buck is said 10 have
surrendered control OF party affairs IN
the future.

London, April 27.-srhe Evening News
this afternoon publishes a dispatch from
Athens dated $40 o'clock, saying the peo-
pie there are frightfully incensed at the
retreat OF the troops. The dispatch further
states that the bitterness against King
George and his government is intensified
by the news that the Greek army in
Epirus has been ordered to suspend opera
tions, pending reconsideration of the sit
uation by the ministers.
Continuing, the dispatch says: Indeed
It looks probable that tomorrow will see
the end of the whole business. There is
reason to believe the government is con-
tempating the withdrawal of the Greek
troops from Crete, and an appeal to the
powers to settle the troubles. This change
upon the part of the government is due
to Edhem Pasha having intimated his in
tention of marching upon Athens"

not stop the car. The water where the

the car was not submerged. In the fall

And right here comes up thought
which was frequently i'm mind during
the campaign last fall. THE desire OF
the aristocratic east to maintain con
troi OF the commerce OF the country,
and its desire to keep the west in a
provincial condition and tributary to
the east, has been demonstrated. 1t
is just probable that the east has real
lied the possibility of this coast at
some time building up such relations
with the Orient that eventually it
would take away from the east the
supremacy of foreign trade and make
our Pacific seaboard the commercial
center of America. With this in
mind, they may have reasoned that
as silver was the commercial money
OF China, Japan and India, and that
out OF our mountains we could wrest
the supply to build up this commerce
with, the supremacy of the west
might be defeated by numbering sill
yer rs measure of values. And it
is plain what gigantic implement in
our own hills, with silver rehabilitat-
ed, we would have, without going to
the cast for it, in bringing about this.

also.haYe slumbered in the eastern
heddle that even if the west did
build up this commerce on her coast.
If silver could be kept down. the east
would have the gold, and at the
worst we would have to come to her
for the yellow measure by which the
business was governed.
and that she would not lose all hold.
but would still have her fingers in
