Mr.. KlPLING'S CONDITION.
Much Improves TO-DAY Over Yesterday = Mr..
Doubleday Unusually Rsiceni

New York, March 11.-Al the inform
alton regarding the condition OF Rud-
yard Kipling that Mr.. Doubleday, his
friend, would communicate TO the re-
porters today was that the sick man
felt better today than he did yesterday
Mr.. Doubleday would give no direct re-
ply to questions as to how the night
was passed by Mr.. Kipling, nor would
he either confirm or deny the state
ment that the fact of little Josephines
death had been made known TO her
father.
Mr.. Doubleday's reticence and an
appearance OF anxiety that was observ-
ed in his demeanor has aroused the
fear that Mr.. Kiplings progress to-
ward convalescence is not altogether
satisfactory.

WILL STICK IT OUT.
Nothing But an Unforeseen
Disaster Will Cause AL
ger to Resign.

Washington, April 14.-Secretary AL
ger tonight put an effective quietus on
the persistent reports that he contemp-
lated retiring from the cabinet by a
positive and unequivocal statement
that the reports were absolutely with
out foundation, and that unless sorle
unforeseen and unlocked for contin-
gency arises, he proposes TO remain
secretary of war throughout this ad-
ministration Secretary AlSer had his
attention called to recent rumors that
he would resign after the investigation
into the conduct of the war and Incl
dent matters and that his successor
already had been determined upon.
He said all statements of this char
acter were false; that he has not en-
tertained any such intentions and that
they were instigated with the evident
purpose of attempting to force him TO
leave the cabinet. He said ne purposed
to pay no attention whatever to these
attacks.
He authorized the Associated Press
to make an absolute denial of the re-
ports and to announce once for all IN
the strongest terms possible that he
would remain in his present office
throughout his regular term. OF course,
he added, if there should be a great
disaster in his private business affairs
or he should be stricken in health or
some such wholly unexpected ami sud
den event occur, it might actuate him
to resume his private life, as a matter
of course, but he had no idea of re-
signing, and his determination to re-
main despite reports to tne contrary,
was fixed and unalterable.

GENERAL CHANGE.
Plan to Reorganize
Presiding Elders's
Districts.
A.B.F. KINNEY TALKS
Would Make Worcester a
Center of Church Gov
eminent.

A. B. F. Kinney returned last night
from Boston, where he attended yes
terday the annual sessions of the New
England Methodist Episcopal confer
ence in the fremont Methodist Church.
Mr.. Kinney's purpose in attending
the meeting was to advocate the reor-
ganization of the presiding elders dis
tricts. 1t was stated to a Spy man
last night by Mr.. Kinney that there
was great need of reorganlzing the cell
ference, particularly in reference TO
the local district.
LAS it now stands" said Mr.. Kinney,
whenever the presiding elder is want
ed in Worcester, we have to send 20
Boston for him, whereas he ought TO
have his headquarters here. In the dls-
tricts as now arranged, Springfield
covers a large territory, but under the
proposed scheme, Worcester would cut
into both Springfield and Boston,
doubling it's size. The Boston district
would be narrowed down considerably
but that would be equitable inasmuch
as the richer churches are there"
The proposed reorganization would
make the conference less Weildy and
more centralized than at present.

DEBATE IN THE REIcHsTAe.

Berlin, April 14.-During the course
of his remarks in the Reichstag, the
minister of foreign affairs said, regard
ing the Samoan incident: Our atti-
tude may be summed up in a simple
sentence. adherence to the legal status
created by the act, so long as the act
is not modified by the unanimous de-
cision Of the powers.
"This principle of necessary unanim-
ity which is set up and defended by us
was accepted by America and then also
by Great Britain.
Another leading point of view for
us was to hold aloof from the disputes
of the native chiefs. We were confront
ed by several candidates for the throne
of Samoa, but we have not tGken sides.
But the provisional government of Ma
taafa having been recognized by the
three consuls, it must have appeared to
our consul as the legal status quo I'M
til new government was installed by
the unanimous resolution of the three
governments.
Respecting the recent conflicts we
have only mutilated and defective tele-
grams from our consul and more or
less trustworthy reports from foreign
telegraphic agencies, so that it is not
yet possible for us to pass final judg-
ment on the affair. Nothing, however,
is known to us concerning the report"

housekeepers at the Y. w. C. A.
Miss Alice NJ. Tibbetts, chairman of
the committee for drafting a constitu-
ton, stated the object of the meeting.
Not only was the purpose of the pro-
posed society to pay a benefit fund in
case of sickness, but also to pay a
death benefit. Unless enough charter
members Joined to ensure success, she
thought such sociey had better not be
formed
Mrs Taft favored the movement as
the next step in Y. w. c. A. work.
The relief society would be no char
ity, but pure business enterprise.
Miss Giddings moved that measures
be taken to form the society of the kind
outlined, and the motion was car
ried.

had been drawn up by the committee

Two classes of benefits were sug-
gested, one to consist of 40 cents a
month dues, with corresponding ben
eft in case of sickness of IS a week and
a second of 25 cents a month, to draw

No one, however, would be entitled to

combine the two classes or belong to
each twice over; that is to say, a girl
by paying so cents month could draw

could pay so cents a month and draw
