According to authorized dispatches
from Washington the peace commission

prediction OF the outcome is possible or
where It Is possible to speculate on the

ALGER WON'T TALK
A. out the Interview With Miles.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Secretary
Alger positively declines to discuss the
statement given to the press by Gen.
Miles yesterday. There seems to be a
purpose in the war department not to
engage in any controversy with Miles,
although his action in preparing a
formal statement for publication may
bring matters to head.
Alger will leave the city today for
two weeks, during which time he will
visit his home in Michigan and will al
so inspect the camps throughout the
country. While he is absent Miles will
return and will doubtless have an in
terview with the president. At this
conference the controversy may be sat.
isfsctorily settled.
There is considerable speculation
among the army officers as to the out
come of the issue. Some officers suggest
that if Gen. Miles persists in criticizine
the war department the president may
relieve him of his command.

dience to an order sent by Gen. Cor bin

said Shafter is to come here simply for
the purpose of consultation. 1t was
suggested tnat the order coming at
this time was significant and pr obabl y
had some bearing on the Miles contro-
versy, but this is denied at the war de-
parttnent. Shafter is not expected to
reach the department before tomorrow
morning.

TO KILL THE CZHR
This Doesn't Look Like Universal
peace.

LONDON, Sept. S.-A report is pub
lished here of most daring plot to as
sa.sinate the czar Of Russia at Moscow
last week. The nihilists had
planned to fill with gas a
house on the route of the czar's process
sion. One Of their number was to
strike lightin the house as the car
and czarina passed, and it vas hoped
that the flying debris from the burst
ing house would kill them. The
nihilist chosen to ignite the gas must
die also in the explosion.
The lot fell to Alexander Kolonotf.
In his excitement Kolonoff touched of
the gas at the wrong time. The house
was blown to pieces and staff officer
and his wife, instead of the czar, were
killed About thirty persons were ser
iously hurt. KolonOff's mangled body
was found in the ruins.

DELAYS
Make Troops Weak

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The First
Illinois volunteers arrived at Long Is
landii City at o'clock this morn
ing on their way to Weehswken, to
take passage west. The men were
in bad shape, and totally unlike the
soldiers who so ioyfully broke camp
Yesterday morning to go to their homes.
The delays attending their depar-
ture from Montauk, and serious
blunders which caused unneces-
sary Suffering, were the causes Of the
condition of the men. The men
marched out of camp yesterday morn
ing at 6 O'Clock, the sick being carried
in wagons. 1t took 22 hours to go a
hundred and sixteen miles by train.

Bomb Explosion.

For some time past some one has
been worrying the police by exploding
bombs or dynamite crackers in the
ALLEYS and back doors of the business
houses in the middle of town.
The first one to be exploded today
was in the rear of the American Kit
chen. about 7:30 this morning. The
next was about two o'clock. 1t SO hap
pened that two men were in the alley
which runs between the AstOr house
saloon and DIR. Albers's drug store and
a reporter of the HERALD was just en-
tering the alley on his wheel: and in
consequence the place where the ex-
plosions took place could be loeat-
ed.
About the same time that the place
WAS located one of the Cinnamon who
own the place came up to Officer Ross,
who was making an investigation, ana
told him that some one from up stairs
over Pew's shoe store had thrown a
giant firecracker over in the clubhouse
| behind the restaurant and the explo-
| sion had broken the glass out OF one OF
I the windows.
| The crackers contain dyna
mite or some similar power1u
jexplosive. and the report
from one of them is very similar tc
4 that of siXshoOter.
Officer Ross thinks that he knows
! who the culprit is and will use ever!
Seffort to catch the guilty parties, ane
3if successful will punish them to the
full extent of the law.

The meeting was confined exclusively
to delegates, except y few famous mem
bers of the order who were given as a

The, meeting was opened by address
es OF welcome, Governor Bushnell
making an address on behalf OF the
state and Mayor Tafel on behalf of the
city General Goblin, commander IN
chief, responded. The old veterans
were in happy humor and received
the fe licitous words of the speakers
with rounds of applause. General Co
bin was presented gavel made OF
piece of wood from the door of Grants

The first part of the session was de
voted to reports On the condition OF
the ord err, showing that it is prosper
Gus, and still growing in many parts OF
the country. Many important ques-
tions are up for discussion and the Old
veteran showed his fighting qualities
or many subjects. There is great
deal of lobbying on the questions o.
comm al ader in chief and the next meet

Sickless in the field has made the elec
ton of commander uncertain, and th'
apparen ,tly sure thing of the honor 60

Bv The Destruction of a New York
pier.


Pier.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Yesterday al
tiernoon during heavy wind preced-
ing rhunders torn, the great iron
superstructure of the Wilson line pier
at the foot of West 18th street blew
down
The pier presents scene of desola-
tion this morning. The great iron
beams and rafters are twisted and bent
by the steam like SO much wire. The
work OF many weeks was practically
wiped out in fifteen minutes.
The list of dead and injured is not so
large as feared at first. In the extreme
confusion the loss of life was said to be
heavy. Though search of the debris
was continued throughout the night 1t
onlv brought out the fact that two men
were instantly killed and fourteen ser
iously injured. Some of the latter Will
i die. A number of men were reported
!, missing early in the evening, but wert
subsequently found to be safe.
Two hundred men were at work on
the pier shed when the storm suddenly
came Up, and forty of them were blown
or jumped into the river and were res
cued. Others fled to the street, but 1t
I men went down with the wreck.
| The dead are Samuel Patterson sn(
John Leonard. OF the injured Georg'
Lilly will surely die and several other
are probably fatally hurt.
