His Resignation Causes Much Astonish- ment at the National Capital. WASHINGTON, Aprll9.—Senator George '1‘. Edmunds has resigned his position as lfuited States senator, to take elfectpon .".‘"ov. 1, and has so notified by letter the governor of Vermont and Vice President Morton. The resignation of Senator Edmunds is nine, he says, to ill health, necessitating the passing of the winter months in the south. He has asevere throat trouble, which is aggravated by the uncertain and often damp winter climate of Washington. W’His wife and daughter are also invalids, and lived in the south generally during the cold season. It is the general opinion in Washington that Secretary Proctor will be a candidate for the vacant senator-ship. It is not thought likely by his friends home, how- ever, that he will resign his place in the cabinet to make the canvass. The resignation has caused much sur- prise here, because the senator took the pains to deny the rumor when it was pub lished some weeks ago. Yet those close to the Vermont senator knew that he was thinking of this step when be rented his ouse. - Our Second Patent Century.
