experience, dropped the hide he was
consuming and, stepping aside, execut-

and charged at him goat fashion. He
plunged his head into the side of the
big animal and rolled him over, and
banged him in the stomach. -,r-s.-
This seemed to put more fire into ths
big alligator; he recovered himself and
struggled upon his feet again, while
the smaller saurian drew off to the fur

The afligators faced each other for a
moment with a space of probably five
feet between them. Then, as if by the
signal Of referee, they rushed at each
other, and as they met in the middle
of the space their heads came together
with a bang. This seemed to stun the
smaller animal, and the big fellow, see
ing his opportunity, punched him in the
side, rolled him over and pounded him
furiously with his tail.
Without waiting for his opponent to
have a chance to recover the big al
ligator seized him by the neck, chewed
off his head swallowed it in three or
four bites, and then lay down on his
stomach and slowly swallowed the
body of the vanquished animal until
nothing but the end of the body pro-
truded from his jaws.

A QUIET SUNDAY.
President Mckinley Spent a Pleasant
Sunday at Patterson. N. r.

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. 4-Presi-
dent Mckinley spent very quiet day
here. He attended morning services
at the Church of the Redeemer, in
company with Mrs. Hobart. In antici-
patton of his attendance the church
was filled. The president shook hands
with the minister and a large number
of the members of the congregation.
owing to the intense heat of the after
noon, the president remained at the
nome of Vice President Hobart until
b O'Clock, when he went for a drive
with Vice President and Mrs. Hobart.
"A large number Of curious persons
had been hanging around all the after
noon to catch a glimpse Of the presi-
dent, and, when he emerged from the
house, he was greeted with a cheer.
AS the carriage containing the party
was driven through East Side park.
1T encountered an immense crowd as
sembled there to hear the concert Of
the Second Regiment band. The presi-
Dental party was Immediately recog-
nized, the band struck up the presi-
dents march, and the crowd made a
rush for the side of the drive. Park
rules were forgotten, and the crowd
trampled down grass and flower beds
in their anxiety to get a glimpse of
the executive. The carriage was forced
to such a slow pace that a number of
persons were enabled to grasp the
presidents hand.
Leaving the park, followed by cheers
from the people, the president was taxi
en- to the North Jersey club and shown
over the house and grounds. This
evening is being spent quietly at the
vice presidents residence.

No two bulldogs ever fought with
more savageness than that shown bv
these two alligators. First the longer
animal swooped down on the smaller

turned quickly, as though to run away

Two such furious blows might well

ALGER'S POINT OF VIEW
THE SECRETARY TELLS OF
CAMP WIKOFF

Conditions There as Nature Left

While There Has Been Much Dis
tress and sickness, There Has
Been No Complaint on the Part of
Those Who Fought.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Secretary
Alger, who returned last night from
New York, after an inspection tour of
Camp Wikoff, at Montauk Point, COM
mended the appearance of the camp
and stated the result of his visit. The
secretary said:
IT feel certain after a careful ex-
animation of Camp Wikoff and a thor
ough investigation Of it's conditions
that everything possible is being done
for the men, both sick and we'll, who
are detained there. The camp Is as
healthy a camp location as could be
found in the Eastern country. While
the health is as good as could be reas-
onablY expected in the circumstances
better than I expected to find them-a
gloom is cast over the camp by the
physical condition Of the men. Sick
ness, suffering and weakness mar what
otherwise would be an enjoyable situa-
ton. These, however, are not the re-
suit Of the situation of the camp, but
Of the terrible campaign through which
the troops have just passed.
1T is particularly noticeable" con-
tinued Secretary Alger, earnestly,
that the men who were actually en-
gagged in the Santiago campaign are
not complaining of their treatment.

about to say hundreds-and not
breath of complaint did 1 hear from
any of them. They suffered, they are
suffering yet, but they endured and are
enduring their trials like Spartans

If there were not. but as a body the
army OF Gen. Shafter is not only salts
fed with the situation, but immensely

FOURTEEN PEOPLE HURT.
Fire In a CeIIuIOid Plant Does Heavy
Damage.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Fire in the
Newark Celluloid works and neighbor-
ing buildings, Newark, N. j., did fully
100000 damage tonight. Most of the
surrounding buildings were three
stories high and were occupied by peo-
pie who worked in the factory. They
were rescued with difficulty and most
Of them lost all of their belongings. The
flames were confined to the block
bounded by Westcott, Dairy, Magazine
and East Ferry streets. The contents
of the celluloid works building are
believed to be totally ruined. The fire
started in the converting department
and spread rapidly. Fourteen persons
were injured and taken to hospitals,
some Of the persons being seriously
burned.

AGUINALDO AUTOCRATIC.
WOuId Allow n Railroad Repaired
Only Upon His Terms.

LONDON, Sept 5.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Times, telegraphing
Sunday, says:
Regular trains will begin to run on
the Manila Dagupan railroad tomor-
row. Gen. Aguinaldo refused to per-
NIT repairs to the line and a re-estab-
lishment Of train service, except upon
the significant condition that no foreign
troops were to be conveyed.
There are active movements among
the insurgents everywhere north Of
Manila. Vigan has recently been oc-
cupied, and q campaign has been di-
rected against Bamur, where the Span
iards were supposed to be concentrated.
The insurgents are in possession Of all
of Laguna bay, except single posi-
ton. This does not support the sto-
ries Of serious disaffection among the
insurgent leaders, although Aguinal-
dos unpopularity is undoubtedly in
creasing. His army doubtlessly num-
bers over 10000 men, well armed and
equipped"
