AUSTRIAN FORTS FIRE SALUTE.

Dewey's Arrival at Trieste Is Am
nounced by Booming Guns.
The arriyal of the United States cruis-
or Olympia at Trieste. with Admiral
Dewey on board, was greeted by the regu-
lation salute OF twenty-one guns from the
forts and the Austrian warship Pelican,
lying in the harbor. Salutes were also
fired as the American minister, Addison
G. Harris, and party and other official
callers, including foreign consuls and gem
erals, left the ship, and the American col
0s were displayed from the Hotel de la
Vile and the American consulate.
Admiral Dewey was dressed in a white
duck uniform and had the bronzed look

showing made Mt the conference this year
was little less than marvellous. The or
ganization was given birth at n confer
ence Of young Methodists held in Cleve-
land In 1880. Before the Cleveland ses-
sion numerous societies existed in the
Methodist Church North, and il was at
this conference that majority of them
united and started the big organization.
The Methodist Church South also entered
the new movement with enthusiasm, and
st Memphis In 1890 orgapized the first
branch. More than 25,00O local Chapters
have been organized and the aggregate
membership now approaches the 2,OOO,-
600 mark.
At night English's Opera House was
added to the number OF meeting places,
and at three big demonstrations the topic
of intellectual Life was discussed by a
number of well-known speakers.
While speeches and song occupied the
three days sessions, so far as the mass of
the delegates Is concerned, business OF an
i'rportnnt character received attention Mt
the hands Of the board OF control.

such an excuse. President Lincoln had
refused to accept Secretary Chase's resig-
nation from the cabinet, even after he
knew that Chase was scheming to be
presidential candidate against him.
President Mckinley said he could not
ask Mr.. Alger to leave the cabinet be-
cause he had announced his candidacy
for United States Senator from Michi-
gan. The members of the cabinet were
more open to the argument Of the men
who wanted Alger out of the way of the
success of the administration. They
agreed that the Secretary of War must
be sacrificed, and they expressed their
views TO the President.
AT this stage in the developments, At
torney General Griggs was sent as a mes
senger to VicePresident Hobart, to ask
the VicePresident to advise Alger to re-
sign. Mr.. Hobart agreed to undertake
the delicate mission of saying to Gen.
Alger what the President and other men,
bers of the cabinet would not say to him.
lie telegraphed Secretary Alger, inviting
him to spend n few days with him at his
Long Branch cottage. When the Secre-
tary arrived and the two men had an op.
portunity TO talk freely, Mr.. Hobart ad-
vised Alger to resign, saying that the
country was against him and that he
might rs well recognize that he must be
sacrificed.
Gen. Alger asked if the Nice-President
spoke only for himself or at the sugges-
tion of others. Mr.. Hobart had to tell
him the whole story, that the President
wanted his resignation but did not wish
to ask for it,; that Attorney General
Griggs had been the messenger of the
President and the cabinet to him, and
that he CHobarb was merely the agent
of the administration in advising Alger
to retire.
Gen. Alger remarked that he would
hand the President his resignation as
soon as he returned to Washington. He
said he had supposed that he and the
President were on terms Of friendship
justifying frankness regarding this situa-
ton, but all he desired was to know the
Presidents pleasure. He returned to
Washington and handed his resignation
to President Mckinley.

Gen. Russell A. Alger Wednesday
morning called upon President Mckinley
and handed 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 II
he wished to go at once, and the reply
of the Secretary that he would remain
until the assistant secretary returned, IL
his successor should not be chosen at
once.
The story of the resignation Is closely
guarded in administration circles, but 1t
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

ROBERT q. lnoERsoLL DEAD.
Noted Lawyer and Agnostic Orator
succumbs to Apoplexy.

succumbs to Apoplexy.
Robert Green Ingersoll, famous lawyer
and lecturer, died Friday afternoon of
Spoplexy at his home, Dobbs Ferry, N. Y.
Robert G. Ingersoll was born in Dres-
Den, N. Y, Aug. II, 1888. His father
was a Congregationalist clergyman of
such liberal views that he was prosecuted
for them, and in his early life Robert q.
Ingersoll imbibed an intense| hatred Of
Calvinism, which grew with his growth,
and finally made him an aggressive oppo-
nent of all generally received forms of re-
ligion.
By the removal of his family to the
West Mr.. Ingersolrs boyhood was spent
partly in Wisconsin and partly in Illinois.
He studied law and in partnership with
his brother began its practice in Shaw
neetown. In 1857 he went to live at
Peoria, ILL.,, and there laid the foundation
of lucrative practice. In 1862 he be-
came captain of the Eleventh Illinois cav
airy, and after the war was over he be-
gan to be heard as an orator. In 1868
he became colonel Of the Eleventh Illinois
cavalry. In 1866 he was appointed At
torney General for Illinois. He was an
intimate friend OF President Lincoln and
President Garfield, and a profound ad-
mirer of Roscoe Conkling.
In 1876 Mr.. Ingersoll proposed the
name of James G. Blaine in the national
Republican convention in speech so
eloquent that his own fame, hitherto
somewhat restricted, extended to all parts
of the country. In 1877 he refused the
post Of minister to Germany. As law
yer Mr.. Ingersoll had been connected
with the most famous modern cases. He
defended the ''star route" case and was
associated with others of national impor-
lance.
Col. Ingersoll was perhaps the ablest
exponent of free thought the world has
known. Although he was the inveterate
enemy of the Christian religion, such men
as Henry Ward Beecher and Bishop Pot
! ter Were among his personal friends. At
one time Col. Ingersoll was on the Su-
preme bendh of Illinois. During the last
two years he had made New York his

ALASKAN DISPUTE HOPELESS.
Indefinite Postponement of High
Joint Com I'm ission Likely.

A Washington dispatch asserts that
the administration has practically aban-
doned hope Of Q 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 ques-
ton discussed at length.
The best the authorities hope for now
Is that there will be no clash in the re-
naming few weeks of the mining season.
The situation Is grave, with the Ameri-
can miners on one side In a state Of irri-
tation and the Canadian constabulary on
the other in a very aggressive mood.
Should the clash come it will not be
through the fault of this Government.
Everything has been done to prevent ac-
tion which will cause bloodshed.
