Grass Widow Sues Her Divorced
Husband for Breach of Promise.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 20. = Mrs.
Blanche Davis today brought suit against
her former husband, R. H. Davis, for
$4,000, because he did not keep his prom
ise to remarry her after he was divorced
from her Davis is a wealthy liquor
dealer and secured a divorce from his
wife In the fall of 1897.
Mrs. Davis alleges that shortly after
the divorce was granted to Davis he be-
gan calling upon her and protesting that
he still loved her. She says he courted
her as earnestly and fervently the sec
ond time as he did the first, and that
she yielded to his entreaties and agreed
to a second time become his wife.
She says that when the wedding day
arrived he postponed 1t, in the meantime
giving her money for her support and
wooing her still. Finally, she declared,
he ceased his visits and refused to keep
his promise to remarry her.

pose Of talking over business matters in

RIOTING AT CLEVELAND.
Two Disturbances, Due to Street Car
Strikes, Occurred.

AAASS1 OCCuEESO
CLEVELAND, July 20.-Two small
riots occurred today. A crowd of 300
attacked car where the track had been
obstructed. The conductor, with a re-
volver, held the mob at bay while the
motorman removed the obstruction. and
the car proceeded. Another car was
stoned at the same place later.
Another mob attacked car near the
Petrie street bridge. The windows were
smashed, but nobody was hurt

are boarded at the barns, and are put

required. The officials of the company
have ceased to make statements for pub

that the men cannot return to work nm

body will go back to work until all are

Senator HaWIey's Defense of the
War Secretary-Text of Mr.. AL
gers Resignation.
WASHINGTON, July 2O-No definite
information was obtainable tonight as
to the presidents selection for success
sor to Gen. Russell A Alger as secre-
tary of war This may be due to the
fact that tender of the office is un-
der consideration by the gentleman cho-
sen. There is a desire on the part of the
president that Gen. Alger's successor
shall be a lawyer of attachments and
high standing in his profession, because
of colonial and other questions involving
legal constructions constantly arising in
the war department, now that the army
is administering affairs in the Islands re-
linquished by Spain. 1t is thought ad-
visable from a political point of view
that the new man should come from New
York, which has been without representa-
ton in the cabinet since Secretary Bliss
resigned. The gentleman whose name
has been under most prominent consid-
Grafton as meeting these accomplish
ments and geographical position is Elihu
Root, but whether he has been heard
from on the subject could not be learned
definitely, though there is apparently
good ground for the belief that he has
been.
The talk that Attorney General Griggs
would be shifted from the department of
justice to the war department was put
down very effectually tonight by the at
torneY general himself, when he returned
TO the city this evening, who, when
inquired Of on the subject, made 1t plain
that his wishes were that he should not
be considered in this connection. The
attorney general has no thought of be-
coming Gen. Alger's successor, and it is
almost certain that he would decline the
war portfolio should the president tender
1t to him, which he (Griggs) considers
improbable, if not altogether out of the
question.
Mr.. Griggs reached Washington at $50
this evening, from the East, and after
dining at the Metropolitan club went
to his office. In answer to questions he
said he had not returned to the city In
response to a message from the presi-
dent, whom he had not heard from since
his departure several days ago. He had
no indmation as to Gen. Alger's success
sor, but. as to himself, he would remain
at the head of the department Of JUS
tice.
Secretary AIger will probably leave
Washington early next week, severing
his connection with the war department
on Monday, when he expects to turn over
his office to Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john, who will reach here from the East
on Saturday, and act as acting secretary
of war until a permanent appointment is
made.
Secretary Alger will spend his remain
ing days in office in closing up a number
of matters with which he is especially
familiar, including engineering projects.
He remained silent today as to his resig-
nation and the causes which led to its
tender and it is understood that, if he
will take the public into his confidence at
ell, it will not be until after a new sec
retary of war is appointed. He was in
the best of health and feeling better at
the relief from the strain which he has
been under.

SOLDIERS COMMENDED.
President Thanks Them for Doing
Voluntary Duty in Philippines.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The war de-
partment today made public a telegram
from the president to Gen. Otis, thanking
the men in the Philippines for their patri~
otism in remaining In service after the
ratification of the treaty of peace The
message, which was forwarded through
the war department, is dated July 1, and
is as follows:
Executive Mansion, July 1, 1S99.-Otis,
Manila: The president desires to express
IN the most public manner his apprecia-
ton of the lofty patriotism shown by the
volunteers and regulars of the Eighth
army corps, in performing willing service
through severe campaigns and battles
against the insurgents in Luzon, when,
under the terms of their enlistment they
would have been entitled to their dts
charge upon the ratification Of the treaty
of peace with Spain. This action on their
part was noble and heroic. 1t will stand
forth as an example of self-sacrifice and
public appreciation which have ever char
acterized the American soldiers.
In recognition thereof, I shall recon-
mend to congress that a special medal of
honor be given to the officers and soldiers
of the Eighth army corps, who performed
this great duty voluntarily and enthu-
siastically for their country.
