A FOREST RESERVE SCHEME.

A scheme is on foot which ii
carried into execution will do more
to hinder the development Of south
western Colorado than any other
outrage that has been perpetrated
on the ranchmen for years. 1t is
an effort to secure an order con
verting about 1000 square miles OF
valuable grazing and timber land
into a government reserve. If the
scheme is materiaIized it means to
withdraw this immense area from
any and all uses except a public
grazing ground for cattle.
Ranchmen will be prohibited
from settling thereon, sheepmen
can not cross the line with their
herds and the farmer in the vicinity
who cuts fence post or a stick OF
fire wood from the reserve makes
himself liable to arrest and fine.
This proposition is wholly in the
cattle growers interest and means
the total exclusion Of every thing
from the reserve except cattle. 1t
will curtail the already limited tins
Der supply as we'll as the supply OF
hay. feed, grain and all farm
products.
The wool growing interests OF
the state are nearly equal to that
of cattle and we trust the people OF
the section most directly effected
will take the matter we'll in hand
and thwart the scheme.

 Captain Jas Lockett, a regular army of- hcer who was born in Georgia, was today commissioned colonel of what will be known as the Eleventh United States vol unteer cavalry, part of which will be re- cruited in the Philippines. It has been de- termined to place a large force of cavalry at the command of General Otis, as troops of this character can be used with great effect upon the Filipinos.

He will have about 5000 cavalry in all By the time the troops which are being withdrawn from Cuba and Porto Rico reach the Philippines about 5000 men will be in the field.

Little Girl Severely Bruised By PoliCe-
 mans Club.
PASSENGERS BADLY FRIGHTENED
Situation Practically Unchanged in New York and Brooklyn, With Cars on Some of the Lines Running
 on Schedule Time.

Cleveland. O., July a.-Dynamite was used by the street railway strikers last night and this evening, causing considera- ble property damage and badly frightening people in the neighborhood of the explosion. Aside from this, the situation Is unchanged. The authorities say they will not permit such disorder to continue and battalion of naval reserves has been ordred to hold It. self in readiness for service.
 Because they had been asked to do re- pairing and line work by the Big Consoli- dated Street Railway company, the linemen, polemen and electricians of the Cuyahoga Telephone company struck today. Henry A. Everett is president of both companies.
 An attempt was made to blow up street car with dynamite at 9:3O this evening.
 The car was an Euclide avenue, returning to the Lakeview barns, when terrific ex- plosion occurred under the wheels at Anan- dale. The half dozen passengers on board were badly frightened. but none of them were injured. About the same time, on Pearl street, on the South Side, three non- union men were pursued by a howling mob until rescued by the police.
 In the confusion a number of women who were in the crowd were thrown down and little girl was struck by policeman's club and severely bruised.
 Tonight there was rioting on Wilson ave- nue and on Pearl street. A mob of 5,C00 collected on Wilson avenue, between .,ayne avenue and Superior street, and threw stones at every car that came along. A squad of twenty policemen tried to keep order and partly succeeded, but the dis order continued and the cars stopped run ming at Il p. m. They were compelled to charge the mob repeatedly, using their heavy rioting clubs. and many broken heads are the result.

 He adds: q am told on the very best authority that General Alger made very few appointments of officers during the war, and that the commissions were issued almost entirely upon the orders of the president"
 The governor alleges that the more recent attacks upon Alger in the east were caused by his frank declaration of opposition to trusts, and he adds: There is a decided odor of trusts around the present admin istration, with Mark Hanna as the ac- knowledged King maker "
 In conclusion, the governor calls upon Michigan people and newspapers to protest against the injustice done the states fore most representative in public life.
 It is conjectured here that Brigadier- Gen. eral Henry M. Duffield gave some of the foregoing information, but the general de- clines to be interviewed.

FORMING OF A
 SILVER PARTY Discussed By a Number of the Worlds Leading Bi-
 metalliStS

Chicago, July N.-While the members of the national committee were enjoying a view of the drainage canal today, the sil- yer leaders were in conference at the Au- ditorium Annex. Those present were John P. Altgeld, George Fred Williams, James P. Tarvin, president of the League of Bi- metallic clubs of the Ohio Valley; General A. J. Warner, president of the American Bimetallic union: c. A. Shively, of Indi- ana, and Morton F'rewen, the English bi- metallist. Those who participated in the conference said it had no political signifi- canoe whatever.
 It is a fact, however, that prior and fol- lowing a luncheon there were meetings where questions seriously affecting the fu- ture relations of the democratic party and the silver people were under consideration. It Is said that plan to organize the sil- yer forces of the country into distinct party formed the principal theme of dis cussion. It is not suggested as an imme- diate necessity, but as a contingency which future events might make not only expedient, but necessary.

He Says the President Did Not Have the

Detroit, Mich, July Ex-Governor Pingree today handed to the Associated Press a prepared, signed interview, giving what the governor asserts to be Facts which are absolutely reliable bearing upon the re- lations between General Alger and Presi- dent Mckinley with which the public is not familiar"
 At the outset the governor says: T have no hesitation in saying that the course pur- sued by the president in this matter is lit- tie less than cowardly. It is, to say the least, very unmanly."
 Governor Pingree said his information did whose knowledge of the facts cannot be disputed"
 Proceeding, he says that repeatedly since the eastern newspapers began their at tack upon Secretary Alger the secretary in- formed the president that if these press comments embarrassed the administration in the slightest degree he would resign at once, but the president as often protested empha tically that he had the utmost con- fidence in Secretary Alger and his conduct of the war department, and that the coun- try could not afford to lose his services.
 The governor says that at the time of his "alleged alliance with General Alger was announced, and before his disavowal of in- terviews criticising the president had reached Washington, General Alger told the president that upon the presidents slightest intimation he would resign, but the president refused to entertain the idea a moment

IN GREATER NEW YORK
The Situation Remains Practically Un-
 changed

New York, July 21.-In the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn today the strike situation, generally speaking. remained unchanged. On Manhattan island, cars on al the lines of the Metropolitan system were run on practically the usual schedule.
 At night the cars on Second, Sixth and Eighth avenues were under police protec- tion, although the claim is made by the company that there is no longer any ne- cessty even for this. Policemen still guard the dcpots of the several lines and this pre- caution will be taken until Saturday or Sunday. The events of greatest interest during the day were the arrest of President Rossiter, of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, on a warrant issued by Magis- trate Branner charging him with criminal libel, Albert L. Johnson, former president of the Nassau railroad. being the complain ant and the notification of the different dis trict attorneys within the limits of the Greater New York that the ten hour law whs enforceable and asking them to com municate with Secretary John P Donnelly, of the building trade section of the Central Trade union and submit complaints to a grand jury or magistrate.
 Arrest of President Rossiter
 The arrest of President Rossiter will not, it is thought, have any marked effect on the strike. Ex-President Johnson objects to statements made by President Rossiter to Brooklyn reporters in a recent interview associating him with the strikers charged with blowing up thu Fifth avenue elevated structure with dynamite. The letters writ to of ba district attorneys of the four counties in cluded within the city regarding the en- forcement of the ten-hour law it is thought may result in a transference of the street car trouble of Greater New fork to the courts. After requesting the C-fer- ent district attorneys to bring the subject of the alleged enforcement of the ten-hour law to the grand jury or the magistrates having jurisdiction, Mayor Van Wyck wrote to Secretary Donelly informing him that violations of the labor laws should be brought to the attention of the district at- torney in the county where the offense is committed, and notifying him of the n- structions sent to those officials.
 Convention of Labor Unions
 Two hundred representatives of various organizations attended the convention of labor unions called by General Master Workman Parsons at the Grand Central Palace in New York tonight to discuss the possibilities of organizing monster parade of 100000 men to march to the city hall and demand that the mayor withdraw the police from the Metropolitan Street railway and Brooklyn Transit company. MT. Parsons bitterly attacked the street railway and I municipal officials and announced that labor organizations would be started in every election department in Greater New York for the purpose of electing independent men to judicial positions in the November elec- |. sfion.

OH, 2 : GR," HIS LAST WORDS

New York. July A-colonel Robert G. Ingersoll died at his home, Walston-on. Hudson, near Dobbs' Ferry, today. His death was sudden and unexpected and re- suited from the heart disease from which he suffered since 1S96 In that year during the republican national convention, he was taken ill and had to return home. He never fully recovered from the attack of heart disease and was under the care of physicians constantly.
 For the last three days MT. Ingersoll has not been feeling well. Last night he was in better health and spent portion of the evening playing billiards with Walston H. Brown, his son-in-law and c. P. Farrell, his brother-in-law and private secretary. when he retired than he had been for sev- eral days. This morning he arose at the usual hour and joined the family at break- fast. He then said he had spent a bad night, but felt better. He had been suffer- ing from abdominal pains and tightness about the chest. He did not think his con- dition at all dangerous. After breakfast he telephoned to Dr. Smith, his physician who is at Belle Haven, and told him of his ex- perience during the night. Dr. Smith told him, he said, to continue the use of nitro- gycerine and that he would see him during the day. Colonel Ingersoll spent the morn ing swinging in a hammock and sitting on the veranda with the members of his fam fly. He said he was better and had no pain.

Said He Was Better

At 12:30 he started to go upstairs. On reaching the head of the stairs Colonel In- gersoll turned into his wife's room. Mrs. Ingersoll was there. and together they dis cussed what they would have for luncheon, and Colonel Ingersol said he had better not eat much, owing to the trouble with his stomach. He seemed in good spirits then. After talking for few minutes Colonel In- gersoll crossed the room and sat down In a rocking chair. He leaned his head upon his hand, which rested on the back of his chair. Mrs Ingersoll asked him how he was feel ing, and he replied: "Oh, better!'
 These were his last words. second after they were uttered he was dead The only sign noticed by Mrs. Ingersol was that the whites of his eyes suddenly showed. There was not even a sigh or groan as death came. Doctors were hastily called, but their verdict was that death had come in- stantly.
 No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral, but it will probably take place on Monday at the house, and the inter- ment will be in Sleepy Hollow cemetery at Tarrytown. Those present in the house at the time of his death were his daughter, Miss Maud Ingersoll; his daughter, Mrs W. H. Brown, MT. Brown, Mrs. D. w. Parker, mother of Mrs Ingersoll, and Mrs. c. F. Farrell and daughter. Mrs. Ingersoll was the only person in the room with him when he died. Death came to him as he had re- gently expressed a desire that 1t shoud-an easy death.

Request of Hobart

As to the "alleged alliance" being any reason for asking for General Alger's res igmation, Governor Pingree says: Long before my announcement that would support General Alger for the senate Sec retary of State Hay, on June 20 last re- quested Vice President Hobart to intima te to General Alger that his resignation would be acceptable to the president and would relieve him from the embarrassing attacks of the press upon the conduct of the war. MT Hobart very properly de- clined to be party to sucn an unmanly, not to say cowardly proceeding, and ex- pressed his opinion dn torms decidedly wig orous.
 After that General Alger, entirely ignor- ant of this miserable conspiracy, several times offered to end the attacks by submit ting his resignation, but still the president did not have the courage to express himself to his secretary. General Alger finally did hand his resignation to the president to take effect January ?. The president dared not face the general in a manly way and ask him to retire and give his reasons for making the request. He finally accom- plished by indirection what he dared not do in an open and frank manner himself"
 Governor Pingree states that MT. Hobart was finally prevailed upon by Attorney General Griggs to convey to the secretary that his resignation was desired, land gave my alleged alliance with the secretary as a pretext." ~ l.
 Called It Algers Sacrifice
 Commenting upon the whole matter, the governor says that General Alger's sacri- lice" was compelled by demands of New York p3iticians, backed by the -1nscrupu- lous and heartless press He predicts that 1t will be learned "that the president him.
