Washington, July 2G-The name Of
the successor to General Alger as sec
rotary of war may be announced today.
The president has made his selection,
and 1t Is understood that Elihu Root,

ton Of the appointment Of successor
to Secretary Alger was the subject Of
conference last night at the White
House between the president and Sem
ator Thomas c. Plat, of New York,
who came over on late train. The con-
ference lasted about an hour. and
afterward Mr.. Plat said that the
president has about decided upon the
person to whom he will tender the po-
sition and that an announcement of
his name will be made very soon, prob
ably today.
The senator was on-communicative
as to who the appointee probably will
be, saying that he did not feel at liber-
ty to talk Of what passed at the con-
ference. The senator spoke to the
president of the fitness of General
Francis v. Greene for the war port

for the position, but It is understood
that General Greene is not the presi-
dents choice. A good understanding.

Persistent Rumors Circulated to
That Effect.
THE NEGOTIATIONS ARE PROCEEDING
High Official Of Iowa Central Says HIS
Road is Attempting to Bring About
AbrogatIon of Trackage Com

From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The question of the Iowa Central
abandoning its service into Ottumwa
is one which has of late occasioned no
little speculation. Rumors and counter
rumors regarding the matter have been
floating around promiscuously, A few
days since, prominent officials of the
road at Des Moines assured a gentleman
of this city that it was not the intsn-
ton of the Central to leave Ottumwa.
From an equally reliable source of in
formation today comes the word that
in all probability we will come to Il
full realization OF the report, although
The officials in this city have not had
the slightest inkling of such thing,
except in the form of rumors. 1t is
known that a new time card is to go
into effect on the Central next Sunday,
but as far as knowing anything further
than that, definitely, it is not known
beyond the general Offices of the
road.
A prominent official, in the service of
the iowa Central at Marshalltown, said
over the telephone today, that he knew
that the matter was up for considera-
ton before the executive officers. He
said he knew that that body was nego-
tiating with the Milwaukee people in
regard to the abrogation of the con-
tract, now existing between the Iowa
Central and the Milwaukee railroad
company. He said the train service, in
regard to trains Nos. and 2, north and
south bound, would probably be hand
led by the way of Oskaloosa, Abba and
Moulton. He said, as to the facts in
the case, he new nothing, but gave the
likely would be done. This gentleman
also said that the local passenger traf-
fic into Ottumwa, over the Central
since the Discrimination of the Wabash
service, would not pay expenses, and
hence there might be something in the
rumor that the Central people intended
pulling off their trains.
