in week it will be on the calendar
for passage,
The Whaley bill is simply a plain
anti trust measure, directed against
all trusts and exempting neither
insurance trusts nor any oGher un
lawful combinations. It is intended
not only to remedy defects in the
present law and remove exemptions
therefrom, but to provide an ade
quate means by which trusts may be
proceeded against IN the courts. 1t
has the approval of the Attorney
General ana Of the lawyers of the
Senate, who say that it is just what
is needed to strengthen the present
law. Senator Whaley of St Clair is
the author of the bill
When the measure was called up
for passage in ths Senate this morn, |
ing there was no discussion. Senator |
WhaIey briefly explained the purpor. /
OF the bill, and as every senator
seemed to understand it the vote
was taken Immediately. Twenty
seven senators voted for the bill.
Senator Rollins alone voting against
it. The bill carried an emergency
clause, which was also passed.

Washington, D. c., April The
persistent report that has prevailed
for months that Secretary of War
Russell A, Alger is to be thrown

istration seems at last to have re-.
solved itself into definite shape.
The story was quietly circulated
hsre last night among q chosen few
in Administration circles, that Gen
Ayers days are numbered as the
head of the War Department. and
that directly after his return from
his Cuban junket such pressure will
be brought to bear upon him as will
cause him to place his resignation in
the hands of the President.
Furthermore, Gen. Russell Hast.
ings, under whom President aicKin-
ley served during the war, is said
with rositiveness to be slated IS
A'ger : successor.
1t is no secret, ana, in fact, it has
been printed so often that il has he
come notorious fact, that President
Mckinley has wanted to put Alger
to one side for months.
