Report Now lla- It That Neither ~of
Them Has Left the Cabinet Nor Con-
templatcs Such Action—Other
' Important Political News.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—The announce-
ment of the resignation of Secretary
Noble, of the interior department, created
little excitement or surprise, as it is a mat-
ter of old report. Naturally, however, it
has occasioned a renewal of gossip as to
the future career of the cabinet Officer,
who is said. to be about to retire. Assistant
Secretary Chandler, of the interior depart-
. ' - . merit,” says that
the report of the
resignation of See-
I'etary’ Noble is ab.
nolutely, untrue.
Addedfto this do-
nial comes a teler
gram from Cape
May, which says
_» . _‘ ‘ that Private Seo-
-' ' retary Halford not
Secretary Noble has resigned, but an-
nounces that so far as the president
knows he has no intention of so doing.
Mr. Wanamaker Still ln'the Cabinet.
Another rumor about Washington was
that the president , had received the resig-
nation Of Postmaster General Wanamaker
from the cabinet. 11; was also said that
the act was not voluntary on the part of
the statesman from Philadelphia. The re-
cent visits of Mr. Wanamaker were said
to have had to do with this result.
It is now denied absolutely, on author-
ity of Postmaster General Wanamaker,
that he has resigned or thought of doing
so. He said the report probably arose
from the rumors of Secretary Noble’s res-
ignation. ‘
Everybody Denies It.
The positive announcement printed
that Mr. Noble’s resignation was in the
hands of the president created a flurry
among the political gossips and set
tongues wagging as to the probable truth
or falsity of the report. Mr. Noble is at
Richfield Springs, and his house in this
city is closed, while there is no person at
the White House to give any definite in-
formation on the subject.
Aprominent Republican who read the
announcement in a morning paper hur-
ried to the interior department and had a
conversation with Acting Secretary Chand-
ler about the report, and Mr. Chandler
gave him to understand that from what
he knew of the secretary’s desires the re-
port was groundless. Mr. Darvson, the
chief clerk of the interior department, was
asked concerning the story, and replied in
positive terms that it was without foun-
dation, and characterized it as “the same
old story.”
Three Possible Sensations
NEW YORK, Aug. l.-—The Mail and Ex-
press’ Washington correspondent tele-
graphs the following to his paper: Before
the snow' covers the ground President.
Harrison may, from all appearances, have
three new cabinet officers. Secretary
Proctor will resign to go to the senate in
place of Senator Edmunds. Secretary
Noble will leave the interior department
to go on the new, appellate court bench,
and rumor has it that the third change
will be that of Attorney General Miller,
who resigns from-the cabinet for the same
reason. Resignations are now in the air.
May Fill Mr. Noble’s Place.
There have been a lot of significant
hints around lately in regard to Land
Commissioner Carter getting a better
place than that he holds. Mr. Carter is
from Montana, and has of late been quite
”prominent. He was secretary of the con-'
gressional Committee, and his friends say
he is likely’to be appointed in. Mr. Noble’s
place. . 1 5 . ‘ '
The transfer of Attorney General Miller
to-‘the..new*=‘court has been current gossip
for weeks, but as yet no one can say posi-
tively that he has resigned his place in the
cabinet or that he is likely todos'O shortly,
but they all say he is booked for dii'e of. the
judgeships. ' " ?
The latest name mentioned for secretary
’ of the interior is that of, ex-Senator Spoon-
er, of Wisconsin. He has been a. strong
friend of the president and was his cham-
pion in the senate. ' ~ ; '
Porter Will Also Go, Perhaps.
Another surprise in the way of resigna-
tions is hinted at in oflicial circles, and it
is that Robert P. Porter, the superintend-
ent of the census, is going to resign his
place this fall. The important work of the
Census is nearly done, and by September
all the great work of the eleventh census
will be completed and Mr. Porter will be
able to accept another place which has
been Offered him outside the government.
This step Mr. Porter is contemplatingis
taken of his own free will and because the
place he anticipates accepting is congenial
ith his tastes. .
Mr. Quay .to Remain in the Senate.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1,—In an inter-
view with a Times reporter Mr. Quay em-
phatically denies that his withdrawal
from the Republican National committee
is to be followed by his resignation from
the senate. ‘ '
General B. Frank Reeder, of'Easton, has
already been spoken of as Senator Quay’s
successor in the committee. Shortly after
the senator’s arrival General Reeder
entered the Continental, having left Spring
Lake, where he is spending the summer
with his family.
General Reeder said that the talk of his
being a successor to Senator Quay in the
national committee was a complete sur-
prise to him, and that he had known noth-
ing of it. His meeting with Senator Quay,
he said, was simply a coincidence. _
Be Won't Run for Governor.
BOSTON, Aug. 1. —- The Journal an-
nounces that it is authorized by Lieuten-
ant Governor Hailes to say for him posi-
tively and finally that in no event will he
ermit himself to be either actively or
assively a candidate for governor. Mr.
ailes has twice before announced this
determination, but as there seemed to be
a feeling among the Republicans that he
would accept if nominated, he has issued
the above ultimatum.
Mr. Payne Win Not Succeed Dudley.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. "1.-Chairman Henry
C. Payne, who has been chosen by the
newspapers to succeed Mr. Dudley as

Inoculated Chinch Bugs Kill Their Fel-
lows by Mill-ions.
MADISON, Wis. Aug. l.—-Experiments
have been made in Dane county with the
inoculated chinch bugs from Kansas. Re-
ports have been received from the opera-
tions on the farm'Of Frank Zink, in Got-
tage Grove. A box of dead bugs was
brought to the city, which were picked up
near a single stalk of spring wheat on Mr.
Zink’s farm. .
. The inoculated bugs were placed in the
field on July 8, and the insects are dying
by the million, but so late that, although
the experiment has proven be a. great suc-
cess, the wheat was so far gone before the
inoculated bugs were put in that little of
it can be saved. «
The infected bugs were brought from
Kansas, and the belief is held by those in-
terested in the experiment that it is a sure
success if it could be tried early in the
season. The box of bugs was scooped up
at the base of a wheat stalk, and although
it is but a small sized capsule box it con-
tains hundreds of the dead insects.
This Dead Man Is Alive.
PORTLAND, On, Aug. 1.——B.‘ D. Whel:
don, alias E. S. Strong, is under arrest
here as a fugitive from justice from Ala:
bama. About a year ago, whilefliving in
Birmingham, Ala, Wheldon had his life
insured for $0,000. A few days afterward
his clothes were found on the river bank,
to give the im ression he had been
drowned. His wi e claimed the insurance,
but the company refused to pay it on the
ground that Wheldon was not dead. Suit
was brought to recover the money, and the
case is still pending in the Alabama courts.
Before leaving Birmingham Wheldon,
it is said, forged the name of his father-in-
law, George B. McMann, to two notes for
$400 each, and detectives have been on his
track ever since. He was arrested here
last Saturday and will be taken back to
Birmingham.
No Penalty for Prize Fights in Iowa.
BOONE, Ia., Aug. 1.—Since the Terpin-
Pitts fight here Monday the authOrities
have been looking up the matter of penalties
for aiding and abetting the fight, the prin-
cipals having fled the same morning. The
astounding discovery has been made that
there is no provision in the Iowa statutes
punishing even the principals in a prize
fight, if no disturbance or riot occurs;
also, that the severest penalty that can be
inflicted is ,a fine of $100 for fighting, and
even this can only be assessed if the men

A Fight Ahead Which May Equal the
Famous Stewart Will Case—The
Southern Pacific’s Fate in
the Balance.
NEW YORK,_Aug. 1.——A brief dispatch
from San Francisco indicates that another
will contest rivaling in magnitude the.
famous Stewart case is likely to engage
public attention before long. ‘ It says that
RuSs‘ell Wilson, attorney. for Timothy
Hopkins, the adopted son of the late Mrs.
Mark Hopkins-Searles, who is now in—
Japan, states that unless Mr. Hopkins
was fairly treated by Mrs. Searies’ will he
would certainly-make a contest.
And Timothy Is Disinherited.
The terms of the;;will have just been
made public, and Timothy is completely
disinherited. Mrs. Searles’ will has been
filed for prObate at the Essex registry in
Salem, Mass. It is a brief document, but
its succinctness is nevertheless effective,
and the vast wealth that was once the
property of Mark Hopkins is now entirely
transferred to his widow’s secon d husband,
to the utter exclusion of Mrs. Searles’.
adopted-son, Timothy Hopkins. The doc-
ument expressly states that the failure to
provide for Timothy is intentional, and .
not occasioned by accident or mistake.
An Immense Fortune.
When Mark Hopkins, Mrs. Searles’ first
husband, died, in 1878, he left an estate
inventoried at $21,700,000. All of this he
bequeathed to his widow, except $4,000,000,
and when she married Mr. Searles she was
worth fully $17,000,000.
By fortunate and wise investments her
her death, and the $30,000,000 that Mr.
Searies becomes possessor of has yeta pros-
pective value of nearly double that
amount.
Mrs. Scarles’ death and the entire trans-
fer of her property to her husband may
control the destiny of the Southern Pacific
railroad. "
She Controlled the Southern Pacific.
It is well known that she had such large
holdings in the stocks and bonds of that
road as to easily give her the balance of
power, and she was said to have been act-
ing steadily with 001115 P. Huntington in
his control of the road’s management.
Whether the transfer of the estate will
enable Mr. Huntington to continue in
control of Mrs. Searles’ blocks of stock re-
mains to be seen. It is not impossible that
now Senator Leland Stanford may succeed
Mr. Huntington in the possession of the
controlling interest.
