DOESN'T LIKE ALGER.
From the Baltimore American, Rep

From the Baltimore American, Rep
Russell A. Alger has demonstrate
e an absolute incapacity to handle
the great affairs Of state. Whatever
he may be in business and society,
he is a pronounced failure as apub-
lie official. He entered the cabinet
of the late President Mckinley I'M
der the most favorable auspices, and
was given opportunity to enroll his
name with the greatest of America 5
many competent department ex-
ecutives. Subjected to this test, he
failed so totally and ANONYMOUSLY
that the unanimous protest of an
indignant people forced him to re-
sign and commit the management
of our army to competent hands.
All the scandals of the army in the
Spanish war-embalmed beef, faul-
ty transportation, fever camps, COM
missions bestowed by a rule OF
political and social favoritism,
Shafter, and all the other multitud-
inous and odorous national repro
aches of that warfare piled up
against the record Of Russell \.
Alger as secretary ofwar The peo-
pie know him for what he is-an
incompetent in dealing with great
affairs OF national administration.
and, therefore. unfit to sit with
to send him to Washington after
the people have driven him in dis
grace from the capital would be for
the state to offer an insult to the
nation.

 Dear Sir-lt has been my purpose to issue a proclamation relieving the citizens of the drouth.stricken regions from the payment of penalties incl dent to their failure to pay their taxes, but 1 have found some trouble in this matter, growing out of the fact that it is difficalt to say whether or not I have the power to remit these penal ties, except in individual cases that is, I doubt having the power to make general remission for your county. Will you, therefore, kindly send me a list of the taxpayers in your county who you think are worthy and deserv- ing to have their penalties remitted on account of the prevalence of the recent drouth? It is my purpose to limit this clemency to such taxpayers as have been rendered unable to pay their the drouth, and to withhold it from such as might De able to pay thelr taxes, but who yet refrain from do- ing so in the hope that they might share the clemency extended the de. serving, and 1 want to make a dlstinc- tion between the two classes.

"kINkS" THAT MAY JUSTIFY FEDERAL lNTERF FERENCE

Lingle is not so confident. but is making a strong canvass. Feely has some following in Cook county, but the majority of the delegates from Chicago are expected to be against him. Luther Dearborn, of Chicago, has four delegations outside of Cook county. but no great strength at home.
 There is a multitude of candidates for clerk of the appellate court with present chances between John II. Mt. Sterling.
 It was settled Monday morning that Willard F. Dunlap, of Jackson vile. will be the nominee for state treasurer. Mir. Dunlap's friends say that he will make no fight for the nomination. but will accept it if of fered, As he has a strong personal fol- lowing all over the state, and will un- questionably bring strength to the ticket, his nomination is practically certain.
 Later in the day, when more dele gates had arrived, symptoms of a fight in the committee on resolutions began to appear. Quite number of the late arrivals declared themselves as opposed to emitting all reference to tho Kansas City platform, and they arc determined that it shall not be done until they have been voted down in the committee meeting. No effort will be made in behalf of silver.

VICTIMS OF VOLCANOES.
Various Theories as to the Dfrec. Cause of Death in Volcanic
 EruptiOns.

An interesting question that arises in the medical mind, on reading the stories of the St. Pierre disaster, is as to the exact cause of death. The newspaper accounts suggest direct burning or overwhelming with the vol. canic du4. This material is commonly called ashes, but it is not correctly de scribed by that word; it is usually rocky matter finely divided by eXplo- sive action, says the Philadelphia Medi- cal Journal.
 A considerable proportion of the deaths might be due to suffeeation by noxious gases. Among such would be carbon dioXide, commonly called car bonic acid ,and sulphurous acid. The former is not actively poisonous, and would not be the cause of death unless present in considerable proportions, but the latter gas is highly irrespir- able, and even small proportion will render air so irritating that suffoca- tion must ensue. We have but meager reports from those who have been near enough to great volcanic eruptions to appreciate the actual conditions. One of the most famous eruptions in his tory, that of Mount Nesuvius. in A. D. 70 has been described by the younger Pliny from notes left by his uncle, who lost his life in an effort to res cue a friend. The narrator states that the death of the elder Pliny was due to fumes of sulphur. Even making all lowance for the imperfect identifica tion of chemical substances at that early period, we may safely assume that by such an expression sulphur ous acid was indicated. since this gas was undoubtedly familiar; indeed, it is mentioned in the Odyssey as a disin fectant. The Roman writer further adds that the body was untouched by fire.
 In some of the recent reports from Martinique specific mention is made of Ithe same suffocating influences. The steamship Roddam escaped through a shower of hot fragments and lost some of her crew by the inhalation of sul lphurous gases.
 It may be well to note that when disasters by fire occur in closed spaces suffocation by carbon monoXide and smoke is likely to occur. In this way persons in the gallery of theater may be killed without direct injury by fire or by falling timbers. Ii is prob able that instances of this kind have given rise to the notion of death by Swallowing fire" widespread popu. lar belief.

SUCCESS SEEMS ASSURED.
Gov. Tafts Mission to Rome in Re- Intion to the Acquisition of
 the Friar Lands

Rome, June 17.-The complete sue cess of negotiations between Judge Taft, governor of the Philippines, and the vatican on the subject of friar lands in those islands, appears as sured, four out of the five cardinals, composing the subcommittee of car dinals favoring the governors pro posals. Cardinal Steinhuber, Jesuit, opposes them.
 After the completion of the nego- tiations, an acute conflict is expected between the vatican officials and the Filipino religious orders regarding the disposition of the money which the United States will pay for the lands. The vatican considers that the money ought to be given to the propaganda, or society of cardinals having the care and oversight of for eign missions.

Battle With Robbers.

Lemuel White, a bartender at a Texarkana saloon, had thrilling ex perence with highwaymen while en- route home a few mornings ago. There were two of the robbers, and they presented their pistols at Whites head and called on him to throw up his hands. He drew his gun and fierce battle ensued. When his right hand was shattered by a bullet, he transferred his pistol to his left, but that member was likewise disabled. and the pistol fell to the ground. He turned and ran, followed by more shots from the robbers. White thinks he wounded one of the men badly. It is known that young man about town was mysteriously shot and will die. Suspicion points to him as one of the robbers.

DEMOCRATS OF ILLINOIS
of 8 Large Attendance at the State Convention
 at Springfield.
SOME APPROXIMATION FORECASTS.
It Is Predicted Thnt the Convention Will Not Take Any Action Indi- eating n Preference for United States Scnator-Symptoms of Fight On tue Resolutions.

Springfield, H.. June 11.-Many of the delegates and party leaders have arrived, to take part in the demo- cratic state convention Tuesday, and every indication points toward the largest state convention held here in recent years. Many men are here who have not attended a convention of their party in from eight to ten years. There is q disposition to steer wide of censationalism. It is prac tiCally certain that there will be nothing in the platform fayoring either W. I. Bryan or free silver. Among the men opposed to declara- tions on these points are some men who have been in the past enthusias- tic partisans of the man from Lin coin.
 The convention will declare hotly against government by injunction" and it is expected that the platform will contain a ringing provision to that effect. Samuel Alschular has been slated for the chairmanship of the committee on resolutions. II, has decla ed that he does not care for an indorsement for United States senator, and the present feeling of the delegates is that no action will be taken in this direction in favor of anybody. There is considerable in decision. however, on this point and the sentiment may change decidedly.
 The principal fight, at present, is for clerk of the supreme court and the nomination seems to be between J. L. Pickering, of Springfield; James Lingle. of the Twenty-fifth congress sional district; Congressman I. J. Feely. of Chicago, and Luther Dear born, of Chicago. Pickering believes that he has already won, and does

 Tt is held by the governor and ad, jutant general that appointive offices of the Arkansas state guard shall be apportioned as near as possibly among the great body of the people at large. Therefore. they shall be, if practica- ble, so chosen that each section of the state may have its due and proper rep resentation, where the military office is oppointive, and commissions are to issue in either the staff or line of the military establishment of the state.
 Recommendation for official ap pointments of officers of the guard nuts conform to the ruling of the ex ecutive."
