Massillon, June "a. AN attempt to
wreck the Pennsylvania passenger
train, due here at $40, was made Thurs
day night, one mile east of North Law
renee. There railway ties we're placed
upon the east track by some miscreant
but luckily they were struck by a
freight train Which was running few
minutes in advance of the passenger
train, One car of the freight was de-
rallied. The Pennsylvania company's
detectives are working on the case but
no arrests have yet been made.
The city council has decided to con-
tract with the Light, Heat and Power
company for all night lighting. Under
previous contracts the lights were ex-
tinguished at 2:30 o'clock, leaving the
city in total darkness, when lights
were most needed. Many citizens are
objecting to the council allowing the
Light, Heat and Power company to
light the parks free OF charge, claiming
the council is obligating the city un-
necessarily. They also favor giving
our new light company trial.

ting to the men last nigbtan amended
resolution instead of submitting to
them the original proposition of the
railway company, is causing delay in
the settlements OF the strike. The di-
rectors of the Big Consolidated met
Saturday morning and considered the
amended proposition which was signed
last night by the men. The directors
unanimously decided to stand by the
company's own proposition. The diff.
ferences are slight but the company
feels that it cannot recede from the po-
sition it has already taken. This stand
of course, means that there must be
further. negotiations before peace
finally comes. The stand is said to
have been taken in pursuance to ca
blegram from Senator Hanna not to

PREVARICATED.
Affairs in Such State That the
Officials Are Beginning
to Lie.

Special to the News-Democrat.
Chicago, June 24.-Secretary Alger
last night discussed the Philippine situ-
alton and stated that on his return to
Washington he would recommend to
the president an increase Of the army
under General Otis's command. Asked
whether there was any intention on the
part of the administration to send Gen.
Miles to Manila, he said:
"Not that know of. The matter
has never been discussed that I know
of. Gen Otis is doing good work. But
there Is no doubt he needs more men.
We intend to give them to him. /
cannot say how many. After I return
to Washington and the president gets
back there, will make recommends
tions to him. l am not prepared to say
there will be call for volunteers.
Gen. Otis's fighting force has been re-
duced by reason of the fact that large
number of men have been stationed at
at different points to hold them. But
L do not apprehend any new regiments
will be sent before October /, or in
time to arrive there when the rainy
season.
A FALSE STATEMENT.
1t will be observed that Alger delib.
erately prevaricated and lodged the
truth when he said the reason that
'Otis's troops are reduced in number is
because OF garrison duty. He knows
that not half the army that is in the
Philippines is fit for duty, owing to
wounds and sickness, and that those
who are on duty are not in fit condition
to serve The rosy view he takes of
the situation Is not borne out by the
facts. The American army, that had
no business being drawn into a fight
with the insurgents at all, Is in pitia-
BILE plight-and all because of criminal
work at Washington.
