CAMP ALGER A FAILURE.
Removed to a More Healthful Loca-
tiOn Near Manassas. Va.

Washington. Aug. 3-Camp Alger.
Va, is to be abandoned by the war de-
partment, and about 10000 men there
are to be removed to a more healthful
locality near Manassas, Va. This de-
termination was reached by Secretary
Alger yesterday as a result of recon-
mendatiOns made to him by Surgeon
General Sternberg, Of the army, who
believes in frequent changes of camp
Ing grounds of large bodies Of men
and because of the rapid spread Of and
constantly increasing mortality from
typhoid fever. Manassas Is about 20
miles south from Washington. is near
a mountainous country. and the town
proper is in the line Of direct railroad
communication with the capital city
The troops will be scattered over a
wide area, and as far as practicable
will be kept in brigades.
The start from Camp AlEer is TO be
made as soon as possible and the trip
to Manassas win be in light marching
order, giving the troops some practi-
cal experience in army movements.
The understanding now is that the new
camp Is to be but a temporary one, but
Just how long the troops are to remain
there Is not stated. Some of the Camp
Alger regiments viii be selected for
Porto Rico, but the expectation is all
will first go to Manassas.
The following regiments and organi-
cations are now at Camp Alger in
command of Major General w. NJ

SAMUEL BLOCK.


August starts with rather brighter ont
look in that the large proportion of coal that
rs being rushed to the West may partly re-
lieye the strain at tide and, if any effort is
made by dealers to purchase even small
stocks there is apt to be an advance in the
market. This would act against those who
were waiting for further decline, cause
them to purchase and thus add further
strength, While it is, of course, impossible
to predict what the selling interests may do
it seems improbable that they will, after the
struggle for six months, permit anything to
occur which will nullify their labors and
prevent their realizing enough in the coming
halt-yesr to reimburse the admittedly heavy
losses which they have suffered,

out Of order on the ground that it would take
all rights out Of the hands of Council as a
body.
Mr.. Harkins subsequently moved that the
report be accepted as read and this motion
was also declared out of order by the chair,
because the matter was referred at the last
meeting for a report at the next regular
meeting Of Council, and not at a special
meeting.
Mr.. Lally appealed from the decision aud
Mr. Bell moved that the appeal be sustained,
which was done.
Mr.. Bell then asked if Mr.. Harkins
motion was not in order to which President
Mcclure replied that he was not prepared to
give a decision at that time.
Mr.. Lally said 81 move we adjourn. The
chair has been beaten and the chair wont put
up with what he should according to parlia-
meutary laws"
Mr.. Mcclure replied II believe the action
Of Council is illegal and | want the secretary
to make a note Of the fact that the matter
was referred to the next meeting Of Council
If such actions were allowed it would be
possible for members at any time when they
found members of the opposition absent, to
call meeting and do things 10 suit them
selves"
Mr. Lally insisted upon his motion to ad-
journ, but Mr.. James raised the point that
the motion had been destroyed by debate
following it. He then made motion that
the matter lay over until the next regular
meeting of Council and the water committee
secure the opinion of the Borough Solicitor
Mr.. Lally moved to adjourn, but his
motion was declared out of order because it
was made while the chair was stating Mr.
James motion.
The motion Of Mr.. James was then put
and lost, after which motion to adjourn
made by Mr.. Neiswenter was put and carried.
