GARY OUT OF THE CABINET.
The Postmaster General Suddenly Resigns
on Account OF Poor Health-Charles
Emory Smith His Successor.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The presi-
dent yesterday sent this nomination to
the senate: Charles Emory Smith, Of
Pennsylvania to be postmaster general,
vice James A. Gary, resigned. 1t is
stated at the white house that Post
master General Gary's resignation had
absolutely nothing whatever to do
with our present foreign compiled
tions. 1t was owing entirely, it was
stated, to the condition of Mr.. Gary's
health. He has suffered great deal
of late from general breaking down
of the system, which had continued to
progress until finally Mr. Gary reluc-
family reached the conclusion that he
was unable longer to carry the bur-
den of his Office.
Charles Emory Smith was born in Mansfield
Conn, in 1872 His father was manufacturer.
He received his early education in the Albany
academy and Union college at Schenectady
during which time he developed taste fol
newspaper work and was frequent contrib
utor to the Albany Evening Transcript. Dur
ing the late war he served in the union army
on the stan of Gen. Rathbone but before the
wars close he returned to Albany academy as
member OF the faculty In 1865 he became
editor of the Albany Express and began
a career of newspaper work which has brought
him prominence and Importance In the po-
litical world. He subsequently became private
secretary to Gov. Reuben r. Fenton, but con-
tinued his connection with newspaper work
being elected president Of the State Press as
sociation in 1874 He served for six consecu'
tive years Us a delegate to the republican state
convention In 1880 Mr.. Smith went to PhilG-
delphia as editor of the Philadelphia Press and
his work there brought the paper into promi-
hence and prosperity. His career has been one
of rapid rise. and in 1899 he was appointed
United States minister to Russia where he
served his government faithfully.

lery arm of the service to 10, 457 men

ing two non-commissioned officers,
