condition of the secretary's health,
which is now impaired as the result of
years of devotion to the public service
and the arduous labors of lifetime,
added to age, the venerable secretary
now being within few days of rs
years.
The secretary's resignation was ten
dered in a simple note rendering to the
president the portfolio intruSted to
him upon the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and asking that it take
effect Immediately.
The secretary was seen by press
representative before he went to the
cabinet meeting, but he declined to
make any statement beyond saying
that he was carrying with him his res
ignation, and that he might have some
thing to say later in the day.
While no definite announcement can
be made at this time as to who will
succeed Mr.. Sherman, it is under
stood that the next secretary of
state will be Mr.. William r..
Day, at present first assistant
secretary of state. Mr.. Day has been
urged to take the Office by the presi-
dent, and it is said he will accept,
though personally more inclined to re-
turn to Canton to the practice of law
Mr.. Day has had entire charge of Gu
ban affairs almost since the beginning
of the present administration.
The session of the cabinet at which
Mr.. Sherman's resignation was ten
dered, was called early for the purpose
of reviewing message the president
was about to transmit to congress rec
ommend:ng that congress, in the exer-
else of the powers vested in it by the
constitution, formally declare war
against the kingdom of Spain.

They all went wide of the mark and
the Foote returned to the Cincinnati,
