(By Telegraph to Virginian- Pnot)
New York, April 14.-The seventh

him in good stead when he was pitted
against some hard propositions in the
final rounds of the live bird champion
ship.
Seven men were tied for first place
with "a straight kills each. when the
shoot was adjourned last night. When
1t was resumed this morning the
weather conditions were most favorable

PORTFOLIO.

PORTFOLIO.
(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot)
Washington, April 14.-Secretary AL
ger, who returned to-day from Cuba
and Porto Rico, tonight put an effec-
tive quietus on the persistent reports
that he contemplated retirement from
the Cabinet by positive and unequiv-
ocal statement that the reports were
absolutely without foundation. and that
unless some unforeseen and unlocked
for contingency arises, he proposes to
remain Secretary of War throughout
this administration. Secretary Alger
had his attention called to recent ru-
mors that he would resign after the in
Vestigation into the conduct of the war
and incident matters cease and that
his successor had already been determ-
med upon. He said all statements of
that character were false: that he has
not entertained any such intention and
that they were instituted with the evil
dent purpose of attempting TO force him
to leave the Cabinet. He said he pur-
posed to pay no attention to these at
tacks wha tever lie authorized the AS
ISOLATED Press to make an absolute de-
NAL of the reports of his contemplated
resignation and to announce once for
all, IN the strongest terms possible, that
he would remain at the head of the
War Department throughout his regu-
lar term of office. OF course. he added
If there should be IL great disaster in
his private business affairs or he should
be stricken in health or some such
wholly unexpected and sudden event
should occur ii might actuate him to
resume private life, as a. matter OF
course. but he had not had any idea
OF resigning and his determination to
remain despite reports to the con-
trary, was fixed and unalterable.

DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
TRIAL OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA
LYNCHERS.
(By Telegraph to virgfnla-Pllot.>

(By Telegraph to Virginla-Pilot.>
Charleston S. c., April 13.-When the
government rested its case In the Lake
City lynching trial here this morning
counsel for the defense suggested that
the names of Clark, Kelly and L. Rod
gers be dropped from the Indictment,
as they had not been connected with
the murder by the evidence. District
Attorney Lathrop accepted, thus lcav-
ing eight men at the bar The defence
announced that it would seek to show
Baker was killed by a masked mob
that rode into Lake City. and further,
to establish alibis for the defendants.
j. A. Green swore Epps was at his
house on the night of the lynchlng Till
near midnight. Admitting this. he
might still have been with the lynch
ers. j. D. Goodwin. IL brother-in-law OF
Mcknight. swore he was at the house
of the latter until midnight on Fcbru-
airy 81. Clerk of Court Grayson, of
Williamsburg and other witnesses were
put up to show that NEWMAN, the man
who turned States evidence. was in
King street the day before the lynching.
NEWMAN testified he was in Lake City
all of that day. Seventeen witnesses
were examined for the defence. The
most material of them admitted being
closely related to one or another of the
defendants. The theory of the defence
regarding the masked mob that came to
Lake City and killed Baker has not yet
been substantiated by material tcsti-
mony.
