G AND MCKINLEY

Secretary of War Alger had
hardly reached Washington on
Lis return from Cuba before he
FASTENED to assure the reporters
and correspondents that never
since he entered the Cabinet
had he considered for ore mo-
ment resigning his portfolio.
This assurance, however, was
entirely unnecessary. The'public
have never entertained the sligt-
est idea that Alger ever contem-
plated resigning. Apart from the
we'll known fact that no one kroWs
a good thing better than AIger
when he has hold Of it, were lie 10
resign an opportunity might be
afforded for turning light on the
War Department that w2uld illu
inmate.
Notwithstanding the systematic
efforts to shield Alger, of the
War Investigating Commission
and the beef court, little things
crept out before both bodies which
tend to show that Alger would do
we'll to remain on guard and keep
in position to prevent any future
iuiquity from going too deep.
To the New York Herald's
Washington correspondent Alger
said further:
"What the purpose Of the con-
slant reports that | will leave the
Cabinet is / do not know. If their
object is to tire out the President
and myself, the persons respon-
sible for them are very much mis-
taken-they don't know their
man."
Alger would have covered the
situation more completely if in
closing the declaration he had used
the word ssmen" instead OF
"man." Mckinley is responsible
for Alger. TIE same consldera-
ton of self protection that keeps
Alger from resigning will prevent
the President from unloading him.
Moreover, the President is ham,
pered further by the consideration
that a split with Alger would
doubtless cause him to seek re-
venge by taking the public into
his confidence.
Oh, no, Alger will not 1esigr
his portfolio and the Presiden'
will not force it from him. Tbs
two are yoked together by tht
bondage of fear of exposure, anc
the country must suffer the dis.

upon it until the people rise in IN,

THE MICROBES OF CANCER.

DR.. Pra, in Paris has, it is au-
thoritively stated, discovered the
microbe of cancer, a little organ
ism that has heretofore eluded
the psychologists, although they
had faithfully searched for it The
value of the new discovery must
be very great, although the dis
covery of the microbe of any dis
ease is a very different task from
the stoppage of that microbe from
preying upon the human race.

The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads
should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital i'm
portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can
not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong
treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr.. H. E. Thompson, of Milledgeville,G Ga, writes: GA
bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck,
which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I
was treated for a long while, but the physicians were I'M
able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I
began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used,
but without effect. Some one recommended S. s. s., and
I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles.
Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently,
and have never had a sign of the disease to return" Swift

hotel. Ten minutes later the flames were
roaring through the interior of the hotel
and all escape by means of stairways and
elevators was cut Off There was the wild
est scene of excitement within and without
the building. Hundreds of guests and en-
ployes were in the hotel when the fire
broke out, and for many of them escape
with safety was impossible.
Probably from ten to fifteen lives were
lost within half hour. and thirty or for

RAAD MEETS IN SECRET.
Considers Correspondence Between
England and Transvaal.

Pretoria, Aug. 31.-President Kruger
today announced to the volksraad that
he had received a telegram from the
governor Of Mozambique, saying the
detained ammunition would be for
warded Immediately.
The entire correspondence between
the imperial and Transvaal govern
ments was read in open session, and
President Kruger asked the raad to
meet secretly tonight, for the purpose
of considering reply.
President Kruger also claimed that
in the convention in 1851 the suzerainty
OF Great Britain was distinctly stated.
But, he added, there was no mention
of it in the convention of 1884 He de-
MED the government had excluded the
British from political rights.
A member of the executive council
explained that when the Transvaal re-
ply to the joint commission dispatch
was ready, the state attorney inter-
viewed the British diplomatic agent,
Mr. Cunningham Green, in consequence
of which the last reply framed held
that Mr.. Chamberlains dispatch was
no reply TO theirs. Mr.. Green then
cabled to Great Britain certain sugges-
tons, to which Great Britain replied
that if the Transvaal made similar pro-
posals they would be considered on
their merits. This was the reply con-
tanning the alternative proposals of
