It is to take effect.early in November. The reason for Mr, White's action is that he desires the seclusion of pri- vate life. His recent domestic afflictions, the suicide of his son and divorce of daughter have weighed on him considerably. and friends say his health is rot of the best. The Ambassndor was emphatic in denying & report last winter that he was to resign, but it js thought now that he did not desire! to give up his office while public attention was focussed on him to such an embarrassing degree. The Ambassador, who has won distinction in his long career as Minister to Germany, will in future devote himself to literature, Wa WEALTHY MAN CONVERT TO DOWIE. (Special to The Bvening World.)
