PINGREE'S CUDGEL.
II Is welded in Behalf of Mr. Alger
and Against President Mckinley.

Detroit, Mich, July 22.-Gov Pin
gree issues an authorized interview on
Gen. Ayers retirement. He utters
a terrific roast on President Mckinley,
whose actions he calls cowardly, and
says: eff it is any evidence of states
manship and diplomacy, | never want
to be called statesman.
Pingree states that Mckinley alone
was largely responsible for many of
the errors of the war charged up to
Alger. The governor instanced one
case where he was present with Al
ger and number of other war de-
partment officials and saw the presi-
dent curtly overrule one of Alger's
recommendations for the sale of army
horses and issue new orders of his
own.
In closing Pingree said: There is
II decided odor of trusts around the
present administration, with Mark
Hanna as the acknowledged kingmali-
er. and |. as one. can not stand by and
see a Michigan man abused simply be-
cause he has had the manliness to cor
rectly represent the true sentiment of
the republican party by expressing his
hostility to trusts"

A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.
He was Almost 60 Years Of Age ana
In that Time Had Acquired Worlds
Fame as an Orator and Opponent Of
Religious Dogmas.

New York, July 22.-lsobert &. In
gerson died at his home near DobbS
Ferry. Friday. His death was sudden
and unexpected and resulted from the
heart disease from which he suffered
since 1896. In that year, during the
republican national convention, he was
taken i'll and had to return home. He
never fully recovered from the attack
and was constantly under the care or
physicians. For three days Mr.. IN
gersoll had not been feeling well.
Thursday night he was in better health
and spent a portion of the evening
PLAYING billiards with Walston II.
Brown, his son-in-law, and {. j. FAR
rell. his brother-in-law and private Sec
retary. He seemed to be in better
health and spirits when he retired
than he had been for several days.
Friday morning he rose at the usual
hour and joined the family at break
fast. He then said he had spent
bad night but felt better.
Col. Ingersoll spent the morning
swinging in a hammock and sitting on
the veranda with the members of his
family. He said he was better and
had no pain. At 1880 he started to
go up stairs. On reaching the head
of the stairs Col. Ingersoll turned into
his wife's room. Mrs. lngersoll was

Washington. July 22.-The war de-
partment has issued a statement quot
ing dispatches from Gen. Otis in an
swer to the press correspondents
''round robin The text OF the state
ment follows:
'Gen. Otis in dispatch under date
of July 20 says that the press corre-
spondents demanded permission to
cable that official reports sent misrep-
resented conditions. This was denied.
They then demanded the privilege to
send without reservation facts found
by them and their opinion. This was
granted if public interests were not
imperriIed. The answer was not
satisfactory, and they therefore sent
by mail to Hong Kong. Otis says he
is not conscious of sending misrepre-
scntations. but thinks that his dis
patches at times have been too con-
servative. The press affair appeared
TO be threat. When the correspon-
dents were asked to be informed
wherein Gen Otis dispatches were mis-
leading they offered nothing tangible
except that his conclusions were un-
warranted. When told that they were
disregarding military authority, it
was apparent that they courted mar
tyrdom, which it was unwise to give
them.
"In a later dispatch Gen. Otis says
that the charges made by the press
correspondents are untrue. He adds
that the most harmonious relations
exist between the army and the navy.

they would have for luncheon, ard
Col. Ingersoll said he had better not
eat much. He seemed in good spirits
then. After talking for few min
utes Mr.. Ingersoll crossed the room
and sat down in a rocking chair. He
leaned his head upon his hand, which
rested on the back of the chair Mrs.

ing and he replied "Oh, better"
These were his last words \ sec
ond after they were uttered he was
dead. The only sign noticed by Mrs.
IngersolI was that the whites of his
eyes suddenly showed. There was not
even Il sigh or a groan as death came.
Doctors were hastily called, but their
verdict was that death had come in
stautly.
Death came to him as he had recent
" expressed a desire it should, lie
often in old times said he wished to
die slowly. with a full consciousness,
so he might tell those about him how
it felt. Recently he experienced II
change and desired to die painlessly

Cleveland. July 22.-A dynamite
bomb was thrown upon the roof of the
car barn at Lake View Friday morn
ing. No one was injured, but a large
hole two feet square was torn in the
roof. A Wade park car. which stood
under the roof where the bomb en-
tered. was completely wrecked. It's
entire roof was torn off and the car
otherwise demolished. Several hum
dred men were in the barn asleep at
the time. The eplosion came without
4 moments warning. \ scene of pam
dcmonium reigned. The force of the
explosion was such as to cause the
ground to trcmble. Many windows
We're broken and for a few moments
it seemed as though the barn would
cave in. The identity of the perpetra-
tors of the outrage is not known.
The two divisions of the Naval Re
serves were officially called out for
strike duty last night by an order
from Mayor Farley. which was issued
i'm the afternoon. Nearly 100 men re-
spondcd to the call. 1t is reported that
the Reserves will be assigned to the
protection of car barns and the power
houses. This would take the police
away from the property of the com
pany and allow them to be of service
n places where they are more needed.
Early last evening an attempt was
made to blow up a Euclid avenue car

Policemen.
The Street Railway Hens Strike Ex-
tends 10 Manhattan borough and
the Result IN that a Number
Of People Have Broken
Heads and Limbs.

New York, July 2O.-New York troll
leymen yesterday joined the Brooklyn
trolleymen in their big strike. The
center of the operations in New York
City was on Second avenue; the excite
ment in Brooklyn centered in the
vicinity of Thirty-siXth street and
Fifth avenue. where early in the morn
ing dynamite was used in an attempt
to blow down the elevated railway
structure. The rioting that took
place in New York in the afternoon
and last night was of serious nature,
much fiercer than any that has yet
taken place in brooklyn. Scores Of
people were injured in the Second ave-
nue. district.
Last night that great thoroughfare
was crowded with ieering, bowling
mob, almost its entire length. The
great tenements gave forth thclr
workingmen residents, who backed mp
the strikers in many fierce struggle
with the police and with the men were
many women and still greater num-
Der of children. They stoned every
car that passed over the tracks, they
hurled rocks and chunks of iron and
vegetables of a variety OF nature from
the roofs of the houses and from the
windows: they barricaded the streets
with paving stones: tore up the street
manhole irons: choked up the slot
with wire and spikes and blocked the
thoroughfare. They had many
hand-to-hand conflict with the 600 pa
trolmen that had been placed along
the line. The exact number injured
is not known. Several policemen were
removed TO hospitals with broken
bones and torn scalps.
On the other lines throughout New
York the strike was not at any time
prominent during the day. Last night,
however, the motormen on the Eighth
avenue line to the number of 100 or
more organized and declared a strike.
They thereupon set about to persuade
their fellow worllment to leave their
cars and with sufficient success to
have cars running on only an hourly
schedule by midnight.
In Brooklyn the strikers made some
gains rs far as the diminishing OF
trolley car traffic was concerned. Few
er cars were running on the lines, but
the dynamite outrage in the early
morning hours was undoubtedly a
severe setback to the strikers. Inc
