DYNAMITE BOMB USED.
Strikers Hurl Explosive Onto Roof of
Street Railway Barn,

A dynamite bomb was thrown upon the
roof of the Big Consolidated Street Rail-
way Companys barn at Cleveland early
Friday morning. A jagged hole two feet
square was torn in the roof. A car, which
stood directly beneath the hole. was
wrecked. The widest excitement pre-
vailed among the men in the barn. Tn,
explosion was heard for blocks and hun
dreds of people were attracted to the
scel.e. Many of the windows in the big
barn We're shattered by the explosion
The shock was such as to cause the
ground to tremble and it seemed for n
few moments as though the barn itself
would fall.
An immense amount of minor damage
was done by mobs under the cover of
night. Hardly street traversed by Big
Consolidated lines escaped Lawless

Make Overtures.

Aguinaldo and Some of His Leaders
Make Overtures.
A Washington special on Tuesday says:
Important cablegrams have been receiv-
ed at the State Department from the
Philippine commission and at the War
Department from Gen. Otis concerning a
new move in the direction of peace
These dispatches have been in the hands
of the President for several days, but he
has declined to make them public because
the ultra optimistic views heretofore re.
ceived from the same source have not
been borne out by subsequent events.
The latest dispatches, however, are
more encouraging than the previous ones,
but the President wishes to have some
positive results before making them pub
lie. All that can be learned definitely
about them is that direct overtures for
peace have been made to Gen. Otis by
Aguinaldo and some Of his principal lead
ers. 1t was said by cabinet official that
if the promises are fulfilled the volunteers
now being enlisted will not be needed.

united and started the big organization.
The Methodist Church South also entered
the new movement with enthusiasm, and
at Memphis in 1880 organized the first

MIR. ALGER RESIGNS.
THE SECRETARY Of WAR QUITS
M'kINLEY'S CABINET.
Vice President Hobart the One to Con-
vey the Request of the President
His Retirement Is Asked to Put an
End to Friction.
Washington special:

Gen. Russell A Alger wednesday
morning called upon President Mckinley
hnd hansfed him his resignation as Secre-
tary OF War, to take effect at the pleas
ure of the President. There was no COM
ment except that the President asked if
he wished to go at once, and the reply
of the Secretary that he would remain
until the assistant secretary retr ,ed, if
his successor should Lot be ch. "a at
once.
The story of tse resignation is closely
guarded in administration circles, but it
is said that the President indirectly re-
quested the resignation, and as soon as
the Secretary was informed that the
President wished him to retire he return
ed from Long Branch to Washington and
placed his resignation in the hands Of
Mr.. Mckinley.
The politicians have for some weeks
been anxious to get Alger out of the cab
met. The Pingree alliance was the ex-
cuse. They feared it, and they feared
the hostility of Senators Mcmillan and
Burrows if Alger remained in the cab
met. They urged the President to get
rid of Alger but Mckinley said he could
not ask for Mr.. Alger's resignation with

ALASKAN DISPUTE HOPELESS.
Indefinite Postponement of High
Joint Commission Likely.


A Washington dispatch asserts that
the administration has practically aban-
doned hope of a settlement of the Alas
kan boundary question, and the indica-
tions are that the meeting of the joint
high commission will be indefinitely post
poned. Definite action on this point,
however, will not be taken until after the
arrival of Senator Fairbanks. A confer.
ence will then be held by Senator Fair
banks, Secretary Hay, John Foster and
John A. kasson, and the boundary cues
tion discussed at length.
The best the authorities hope for now
is that there will be 10 clash in the re-
naming few weeks of the mining season.
The situation is grave, with the Ameri-
can miners on one side in state Of irri-
tation and the Canadian constabulary on
the other in very aggressive mood.
Should the clash come it will not be
through the fault of this Government
Everything has been done to prevent ac-
ton which will cause bloodshed
