GATHERING FAST. ~
Troops Are Arriving at Chicka-
manga Park in Large Num-
berS.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 25.-Arrivals
Of troops at Chickamauga National park,
both of those originally destined there
and those which have been diverted from
their gulf destination, are expected to be
heavy for the next day or two. The
number of soldiers originally ordered to
Chickamauga have not arrived, by one
half. 1t is quite probable that nearly
$4,000 troops of the regular service will
be encamped at Chickamauga by
Wednesday or Thursday.
1t is estimated that the passage of the
army reorganization bill, providing for an
increase i'll the standing army of 6S,0OO,
will result in at least 10000 troops being
concentrated here. The Chickamauga
battlefield is an ideal point for drilling
purposes, according to the generally-ex-
pressed opinion of army officers here and
1t is quite probable that this point will
be the rendezvous for nearly the entire
augmented forces of the regular army.

st. Wlnifred was killed in Cheshire, and
the spot where she fell became a per-

priest paid the local authorities $50 for
the exclusive use of the waters for the
purpose OF curing the faithful of various
ailments. Plgrimages were made from

SHERMAN RESIGNS.
Venerable Secretary Of State Re-
tires from Active Political
and Official Life

Washington, .. c., April 25.--Another
resignation from the cabinet occurred to-
day, when the venerable secretary OF
state, John Sherman, handed his resigna-
ton to the President.
The resignation is to take effect at as
early date as may be convenient to the
President. With it MI. Sherman retires
from public life after 4 service of over
forty years, embracing the House of Rep
resentatives, the United States Senate,
the secretaryship Of the treasury and the
secretaryship Of state.
The reason for the resignation is the
condition of the secretarys health, which
is now impaired as the result of years
Of devotion to the public service and the
arduous labors of a lifetime, added to age,
the venerable secretary now being within
a few days of 70 years Of age.
The secretary's resignation was offered
in Il simple note rendering to the Presi-
dent the portfolio entrusted to him upon
the Inauguration Of President Mckinley,
and asking that it take effect from the
close of today.
The secretary was seen by an AssO-
ciated press representative before he
went to the cabinet meeting, but he de-
clined to make any statement beyond say

NO BOMBARDMENT.
The Blockading Fleet at Havana
Passes an UneVentful Day
Without Incident.

Matanzas, Cuba, via Key West, Fla,
April 25-7:45 a. m.-The DauntIess dis
patch boat of the Associated press
steamed from off Havana to the blockad-
ing squadron off Matanzas yesterday, be-
ing the first dispatch boat to visit the
United States vessels cruising off this
part of the coast
The Dauntless left the squadron at Ha-
vana, just aftc~ the flagship New York
sailed, presumably for Key West. She
followed the flagship for an hour and then
gave up the chase, as the destination of
the New York was apparently clear. She
was alongside the Indiana for awhile.
The Wilmington, Detroit and several 9TH
er vessels were further in-shore. The
Iowa, following the orders of Rear Ad-
miral Sampson, was far enough off Ha-
vana to escape any fire from the shore
batteries.
There has been no incident worth noting
since the capture of the Spanish Catalina
and two schooners in the early morning.
The Nashville and the Castine are
doubtless still off Cienfuegos.
On her way from Havana to Matanzas
the Dauntless passed the topedo-boat
WinsloW going to report to the flagship.

HarbOr.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 25.-The newest
and most unique place for Chicago pa
triotism to break forth is three miles out
in Lake Michigan, at the intermediate
crib, the lake end of the new northwest
supply tunnel. The workmen have raised
Old Glory in a way worthy OF the loca-
ton, which is one of the city's most ad-
vanced outposts. Each contributing his
mite, they purchased an immense flag,
and it today proudly floats from a 40
foot pole above the top of the crib
When the big flag was hoisted Supt
Fred. J. McIsaacs delivered an ora ton
to his sixty men, and then unfurled the
banner which will remain there until the
war is over.

ing to the representative that he was
carrying with him his resignation, and
that he might have something to say
later in the day.
While no definite announcement can be
made at this time rs to who will succeed
Mr.. Sherman, it is altogether probable
that the next secretary of state will be
William K. Day, at present first assist
ant secretary of state. Mr.. Day has been
urged by the President to take the office,
but is personally more inclined to return
to Canton to the practice of law, though
it is believed here that he will yield to
the Presidents wishes in the matter.
Mr.. Day is out of the city and is
thought to be in Canton, o., arranging
his personal affairs. He has had entire
charge OF the Cuban affairs almost since
the beginning Of the present administra-
ton.
Day will Accept.
Canton, O., April 25.-Judge Day, ac-
COmpanied by his son Luther, reached
Canton via the Pennsylvania road at
1925 this morning. He looked as if in
good health. As he stepped from the
train the Associated press correspondent
Informed him of the resignation of Sec
rotary Sherman. When asked if he would
accept the vacant place he replied simply:
Il will take The matter under considera-
ton"
While Judge Day declined to talk for
publication the Associated press CORE
SpOndent believes it can be announced as
a fact that under existing circumstances
Judge Day will accept the secretaryship
if the President dominates him and the
Senate takes favorable action.
1t is known here that Judge Day made
a great business sacrifice when he accept
ed the place of assistant secretary Of
state. He has not felt that he could af-
ford to accept a cabinet portfolio, but I'M
der present circumstances, however, it is
not believed he feels he ought to decline.
Canton, O.. April 25.-Judge Day ar
rived from Washington at 1926 Oh the

the position of secretary of state, if
named by the President and confirmed
