ALGER DOWN AND OCT The Secretary of War Hands in His Res ignation. THE SAME WiLL BE ACCEPTED. Ill Beslg nation TTtU Beome KIT ec tire Attguwt Ht-TBcr U atncn Gossip Re garding Bli Successor, bnt It U Mainly Speculative The Document Antici pated for Some Time,' WASHINGTON, July 20. Secretary Alger yesterday tendered to the pres ident his resignation of the war portfolio- The resignation will become ef fective August 1, though it was tend ered "at the pleasure of the presi dent." Gossip has begun as to his successor, but it is entirely speculative, for not withstanding the reports that Mr Alger would not long continue at the head of the War department, his ac tual resignation came suddenly and unexpectedly. That it would come by the end of the year was generally be lieved, but so little was it expected at this time that some of the cabinet officers, when the news first became public, were inclined to regard the an nouncement as premature, the an nouncement that it was actually in hand coming to them in the nature of a surprise. Formal acceptance of his resigna tion had not been made by the pres ident up to a late hour tonight, but will be in a letter to be written within the next day or two. No official statement as to the cause of the resignation was procurable either from the president or from Sec retary Alger, neither of whom would talk on the subject, nor was the letter of resignation obtainable at this time. For the present nothing will be made public concerning the severance of the relations of the president and his war minister, but later on the official cor respondence, closing the hitter's ca reer as chief of the War department. doulitles will be given to the press. The belief had prevailed in Washing ton for some time that Secretary Alger would resign from the cabinet, but the date generally set for it was toward the end of the year, after he had sub mitted his annual report, In which be had intended to sum up what had been accomplished during his brief eventful direction of the War department. Its tender then had been regarded as almost a foregone conclusion, in view of Mr. Alger's announcement about a mouth ago, that he had con cluded to enter into competition for the vacancy in the I'nited States sen ate, to be caused by the expiration of the term of Senator McMillin, a strong supporter of the administra tion, and that he had enlisted in his active support Governor l'ingree, to whom hail been attributed free criti cisms of the policy that was supposed to he cherished by the president to ward the Filipinos. There have been many explanations and denials of the facts in that case, but in the end the impression was con veyed that the result of the Michigan visit of the secretary had been to change the relations between the pres ident and himself to such a decree as to make the restoration of their form er status impossible and to rentier the connection of the two as part of the same official family impossible. At no time since then has there been ground for the belief that a rup ture might be avoided, but this belief ceased to be held when th news spread that Vice President Hobart and Secretary Alger were in conference at Nornianhurst. It was largely at least as a result of this conference that Secretary Alger decided to leave the cabinet at this time. At this conference there were present, besides Secretary Alger, his military aide and close personal and political friend and adviser. Major Hopkins, and perhaps some other per sons, or person, who also felt a deep interest in the future of the secretary. There has been no disclosure of what passed by the seaside, but it Is significant that the return of the sec retary to Washington was followed by prompt action. He arrived in Wash ington last night, too late to make any official calls. Almost before the ex ecutive" departments were opened lor business this morning he called at the White House and, lsltlng the presi dent in his office, announced that he had concluded to resign his office. What passed on that point between himself and the president is only a matter of surmise, for neither have anything to say on the point. Somt rou tine business pertaining to the War de partment was disposed of, and then Mr. Alger went over to his office and soent some time with Major Wilson. chief of engineers, and Major Hopkins, looking into the merits of the contro versy which had arisen over the con struction of a drawbridge over a nav itrrihle "stream in Michigan. Major Hopkins had just returned from a per sonal inspection of the locality and had prepared a report on the subject. Several times they were interrupted by Adjutant General Oorbin, who had some matters of pressing current bus iness requiring the personal action of th secretary to bring to his attention. This attended to. Secretary Alger then wrote out bis formal letter of resig nation and personally carried it over to the White House. His call on this occasion was brief, and when he re turned to the War department he closed the door of -lis office to most of th. rnv callers wli'n were in vnlt'nz and had a long conference with Ad jutant General Corbln.

The interstate commerce commission in an opinion by Commissioner Prouty to day announced its decision in the care of the Grain Shippers' association of northwest Iowa against the Illinois Central Railroad company and others. The commission finds that the trans portation of grain eastward from Kan sas City and from Sioux City and other points In the territory adjacent to Sioux City is subject to competition between the carriers, but while re duced rates have resulted from the competition at Kansas City, the com netitlon In northwest Iowa has been ' more effectively restrained by an agreement formerly in effect ad since such agreement was canceled by con tinuance of rates with substantial re duction. The rate on corn to Chicago from most points in western cities is 17 cents per 100 pounds. An examination of the rates and rate conditions for a period of years indicates to the satis faction of the commission that a rato of 15 cents on corn from Kansas City to Chicago should be applied at all Missouri river points, but it conclude that the evidence is not sufficient to enable a definite conclusion. It does not appear, they say, however, that the rates on grain from Sioux City and other points in a limited section of northwest Iowa are too high. The commission decides that the 19- cent rate on corn from Sioux City ana other points in adjacert territory should be reduced, that the 17-cent rate on corn now in effect from most points in western Iowa should be ex tended to Sioux City and points in Iowa east of the Sioux City & St. Paul, now part of the Chicago, St. Paul & Omaha, and that a corresponding re duction should be made from other points in southwestern Iowa. The com mission further held that no opinion is expressed as to what is the proper relation of rates on wheat and corn from Sioux City and adjacent terri tory, the difference of 4 cents which now prevails from most shipping polnt in that section should not be exceeded. The complaints also demanded repa ration, but this was denied upon the ground that there Is no proof that the rates were unreasonable at the t'.me they were presented. Incidentally, the commission in pass ing upon the case decided that the capitalization of a railroad to prove consideration in a case involving the readjustment of rates, should be ac companied by a history of the capital account, the value of the stocy and various securities and th3 actual tost and value of the property itself. They hold that to make the capital account of railroads the measure of legitimate earnings would place, as a reRiilt, the corporation which has been honestly managed from the outset under enor mous disadvantages. NEBRASKA IS ALL RIGHT. The Outlook for Coming; CroM Highly Kni'onrnirlnr. MINNEAPOLIS. July 19. Frank H. I'eavey. who left Minneapolis a week aw by special train, on an inspection trip through Nebraska and Kansas, intended to cover an examination of tiie crops and his elevator properties in those states and in Kansas City, returned today. He said: "Our trip covered the Fnlon Pacific line in Ne braska and Kansas. We went west to No: th Platte. Neb., and from Manhat tan and Salina in Kansas to Kansas City. I found wheat better than I ex pected to in Nebraska, and in Kansas about 50 per cent of last year's yield on the Union Pacific system, which makes a better showing than on lines further south, however. With no ac cident to corn Kareas will break all her records as a coin-producing state. "In Nebraska the corn looks better than in Kansas, if that is possible. The farmers are improving their lands and buildings substantially and also their dwellings." Mr. Peavey said that the prospect was so encouraging that he should build a nw line of elevators In Ne braska, and would probably add to his system in Kansas. As to northwest prospects, Mr. Pea vey said: "Our private reports suggest a splendid wheat harvest for the northwest. It looks to me as if good fortune is again to shine upon us." Hutdnesi In Venezuela Depressed. WASHINGTON. July 19. Frank B. Loomis, the American minister to Ven ezuela, was at the state department today, having recently arrived in the United States from his post. Mr. loo mls says that business in Venezuela is considerably depressed owing to the low prices of coffee. The people of the country, he says, are very hopeful that the result of the boundary line arbitration will confirm Venezuela's right to the territory, which proves to be fabulously rich in gold, silver, cop per and other minerals. Mr. Loomis says that the project for a huge canal system to connect the waters of the Orinoco, Amazon and Platte is being discussed, but that the vast, sum ne cessary to construct it, estimated at from $100,000,000 to $300,000,000, stag gers the projectors. Young Rstptiflts Call on McKlnley. WASHINGTON, July 19 About 300 delegates to the Baptist Young Peo ple's union which has Just finished its annual meeting at Richmond. Va.. were received by the president in the east parlor today. They were present ed by President John Chapman of Chi cago. (ieorpe Victor Lindan, who iB sup posed to bo bettor posted on "doer-ole-fry" than any other man in town, furnished amusement for a large num ber of by-standors at Fourth and Main streets last evening. Ho had been down to the river giving Ilenry Miller's St. Bernard pup a bath and was on the return when tho animal playfully jumped aboat his feot and got the chain with which London was leading it tangled about hia legs, throwing him to tho pavement and then proceeded to have fun with him. Tho dut-t was fly ing about tho two objects eo thick that it was impossible to determino which was the under do? for a while, and some who witnessod the performance thought it was an Italian and bear doing tho danco. Although the pup is but a few months old it was able to hoid Mr. Lindon down for quito a while. It is safe to 6ay that in the futuro ho will not take such good care of the dog that will feel hilarious to the extent that it will want to wrestle with him. Subscribe for The News. MAYOR SIGNS BONDS. Has a Tedious Ten Hours Job on His Hands. . State Auditor Notifies the City Officials That the Documents Cannot He Reg istered Without the Mayor's Signa turesOld Presbyterian Choir Booy a Ftcnlo. From Wednesday's Daily. Mayor Richey had the hardest and most tedious job on his hands yester day which he has been called upon to perform since becoming mayor of the city of i'lattsmoutb. it will be re membered that the mayor and city clerk recently delivered the bonds is sued by the city, aggregating the Bum of $103,000, to the state auditor's office in order to have them legally regis tered. These bonds were signed by Clerk Kerr's lithographed signature, and were not returned until yesterday, when the city officials were informed that the clerk's signature was not suf ficient and that the documents could not be registered unless the mayor's sign manual was placed on each one of the coupons. Being anxious to get the matter off his hands, the mayor immediately sent word to the auditor that he would sign the bonds at once. and requested that official to register the same. This task required the mayor to write his name 4,000 times, and it kept him hard at work for ten long hours He completed the job, however, and immediately made arrangements for having the bonds forwarded to tho fis cal agency ol the city at New York. Tho express company's rate for transporting the bonds was $206.75, while the charge for sending them through the mails was only f 1 3S. It was decided to send them by mail and take a little more risk rather than pay the exorbitant rate asked by the ox press company. The package was sent out yesterday afternoon, and Mayor Richey is natur ally glad that ho has the matter off his hands. Some Jolly Picnickers. From Wednesday's Daily. The members of ihe old Presbyter ian choir went out to Patterson's park yesterday afternoon in one of Jones' carryalls for a little pleasure excur sion.

They returned to town about 10 o'clock, but enjoyed a ride around town before going home. The party consisted of Mrs. C. S. Johnson, Misses Antonia Kessler, Tillio Vallery, Edith Patterson and Messrs. B. A. McElwain, Henry Weidmann, narry Oroves, Wayno Twitchell and Wallace Carter. tiot Into a Kent of Wasps. A good little joke is told today on Halsey Duke, who lives up in tho Sec ond ward. Halsey and his little sister were playing hide-and-go-seek out in the yard last evening, and when it camo his turn to hide ho requested his sister to close her eyes and when ho had concealed himself in a comfortable place ho would signal her by letting forth a loud yell. He immediately proceeded to climb up one of the tall trees in tho yard, and had no more than seated himself on one of the branches when he discovered, to his dismay, that he had gotten into a nest of wapps, and from the noise Halsey mado for a few minutes it was evident that the insscts lost no time in mak ing it warm for bim. The lad's cries were heard all over" the neighborhood. and when he was finally rescued from his perilous position, it was found that his face and hands were quite severely stung by the angry wasps. It is safe to say that Halsey will not hide in any more trees for some time to come. A S40 HICTCLE UIVEN AWAY DAILY.

Eczema which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local appli cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced through the skin ; the only way to reach the disease, therefore, is through! the blood. Mr. Phil T. Jon a, of Mizersrille, Ind., writes: "I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was bo raw and sore that it gave me constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and began to spread and grow worse. For the past Are or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have been treated by some of the best physicians amf have taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little faith left I began to take S. 8. 8., and it apparently made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing 8. S.

Swift's Specific S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD is superior to other blood remedies because it eures diseases whieh they oan not reach.
