ALGER'S NEW PLANS.
They Contemplate His Early Retire
ment From the Cabinet.

Washington, June 21.-Three move
ments of Importance are scheduled to
follow the return of President McKin-
ley, if present plans do not miscarry-
First, the retirement of Secretary of
War Alger from the cabinet. This is
conditional upon his having effected
combination with Governor Pingree of
Michigan, which will give him a fight
ing chance to come to the United States
senate as successor to Senator McMil-
Ian.
Second, the appointment of General
Horace Porter, present ambassador to
France, to succeed Secretary Alger.
This change would give the state of
New York representation in the cabi-
net, which it has not had since Secre-
tary of the Interior Bliss resigned and
was succeeded by Ethan Allen Hitch
cock at the time ambassador to Rus
Sia.
Third, the appointment of Whitelaw
Reid to the post of ambassador to
France. Senator Platt, who has here
tofore opposed Mr.. Reid's appointment
to anything permanent. would not now
object, it is said, to having him sent
out of the country, thereby removing
him from the political stage in next
years campaign.
News was received at the war de-
partment today that Secretary A1ger,
who has been up in Michigan for two
weeks, planning a combination with
Pingree for an anti-McMillan campaign
will arrive in Washington Friday, which
is earlier than he intended to return.
1t is claimed that Secretary Alger
has been successful in reaching an
agreement with Governor Pingree,
which gives him standing in the sena-
toriaI race, and that he will upon his
return, shape his affairs for an early
retirement from the cabinet, which will
be quickly followed by the other two

MOB CHASES PREACHER.
Expounders of the Holiness Sect Have
Marrow Escape In Laporte.

New Carlisle, Ind, June 21--Revs. c.
Brown and J. z. Miller, Holiness Chris
tians, who have been holding meetings
under a large tent in the city of La
porte, west of here, were assailed by an
armed mob 500 strong last night during
their religious meeting. They succeeded
in escaping the mob and are now at the
home of Joseph Carr, near this city
While the large tent was crowded with
men, women and children the mob ap-
preached and cut the guy ropes, letting
the huge canvas and poles fall on the
speakers and audience, creating panic.
People were knocked down and trampled
on in their efforts to get from under the
fallen canvas, and many were severely
injured. The mob was after the preach
ers, but failed to get them.
Jacob Taylor of this place succeeded
in ge ting the preachers to a livery barn,
and although part of the mob appear
ed at the barn they were warned away
by the livery man, who assisted the
preachers in reaching this place. The
feeling against the Holyites began last
week, when Rev. Mr.. Miller, who was
preaching on the streets of the city, was
arrested for obstructing the streets. He
was warned to cease his work in the
city, but refused to do so, and the work
of the mob is the result.
Governor Mount has been notified
and it is probable that prompt action
will be taken. The Holyites have re-
tained Judge Andrew Anderson of South
Bend as counsel, and proceedings will
begin at once. The Holyites have a
church here and are a peaceful people.
