Representatives or the Chicago platform Democrats of New Tork Issued an address last night calling the attention of the committee to Tammany's hostile attitude to the platform of 1894. Secretary War Alger yesterday tendered his resignation to take effect "at the pleasure of the President." Although It had been generally expected that the resignation would come before the end of the year. It had not been looked for so soon, and the announcement that It had been handed to the President caused surprise at Washington. The President's formal acceptance in writing will be made public within a day or two, and in the meantime none of those concerned will discuss the matter.

11.159. RESIGNS. Secretary Alger Fi- nally Decides To Retire AND NOTIFIES PRESIDENT. Will Quit the Cabinet On August 1 AND RETURN TO -MICHIGAN. DECLINES AT PRESENT 10 TALK OT THE MATTER.

ALL OTHERS ARE SECRETIVE. Owing To His Differences With, the President Els Step Was Not Unexpected. SPECULATION AS TO SUCCESSOR. Washington, July 19. Secretary Alger to-day tendered to the President' his resignation of the war portfolio.

The resignation will become effective August I. though It was tendered "at the pleasure of the President-Gossip has begun already as to his successor, but Is entirely speculative, for, notwithstanding the reports that Mr. Alger would not long continue at the head of the War Department, his actual resignation came suddenly and unexpectedly. That it would come by the end of the year was generally believed, 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 announcement as premature, the announcement that It was actually In hand coming to them In the nature of a surprise. Formal acceptance of the resignation bad not been made by the President up to a late hour to-night, 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 Secretary Alger, neither iof whom would talk on the subject Nor is the letter of resignation obtainable at this time. For the present nothing will be made known officially concerning the severance of the official relations between the President and his War Minister, but later on the official correspondence, Closing the latter's career as chief of the War Department doubtless will be given to the press. Had Long Been Expected. The belief had prevailed in Washington for some time that Secretary Alger would resign from the Cabinet but the date generally set for.lt was toward the close of the year, after he bad submitted his annual report, in which he Intended to sum up what bad been accomplished during his brief but 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 month ago that he had concluded to enter' into competition for the vacancy in the United States Senate to be caused by the expiration of the term of Senator McMillan, a strong supporter of the Administration, and that he had enlisted in his active support to whom bad. beej SECRETARY OF WAR ALGER. attributed free criticisms of the poltcy that was supposed to be cherished by the President toward the Filipinos. There have been many explanations and denials of. the facts in that case, but In the end the Impression was conveyed that the result of the Michigan visit of Secretary had been to change the relations between the President and himself to such a degree as to make a restoration of their former at at us impossible, and to render the connection of the two as part of the same official family undesirable.

At one time since then there was ground for the belief that a rupture might be avoided, buf this belief ceased to be held when the news spread that Vice President Hobart and Secretary Alger were In conference at Normanburst 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. MaJ. Hopkins, and perhaps some other persons or person who felt a deep Interest in the future of the Secretary. His Call On the President.

There has been no disclosure of what passed by the seaside, but it is significant that the return of the Secretary to Washington was followed by prompt action. He arrived In Washington last night too late to make any official calls. Almost before the executive departments were opened for business this morning he called at the White House and. visiting the President in his office, announced that he had concluded to resign his What passed on that point himself and the President is only a matter of surmise, for neither has anything to say on this point Some routine business pertaining to the War Department was disposed of between the President and the Secretary, and then Mr. Alger went over to his office and spent some time with Gen.

Wilson, chief of engineers, and MaJ. Hopkins, looking Into the merits of a controversy which had arisen over the construction of a drawbridge over a navigable stream in Michigan. MaJ. Hopkins had Just returned from a personal Inspection of the locality, and had prepared a neport on the subject Several timea they were interrupted by Adjt. Gen.

Corbln. who. had some matters of pressing current business requiring the personal action, of the Secretary. This attended to. Secretary Alger wrote out his formal letter of resignation and personally carried it over to the White House.

His call on this occasion was brief, and when he returned to the War Department he closed the door of his office to most of the many callers who were In waiting, and bad a long conference with Adjt Gen. Corbln. To the newspaper men who sought to secure some expression from him. the Secretary was courteous but On the one side Gen. Corbln and on the other Mr.

Victor Mason, his private secretary, by his authority, as they said, made the announcement that Secretary -Alger had submitted his resignation to the Presi- effect tn Pleasure of the President The Secretary Noncommunlcative, At his residence in the evening the Secretary was equally as noncommunlcative, and positively declined to assign any reason for the action be had taken. He had called during the afternoon upon Secretary Hay at the State Department and with him at home were MaJ. Hopkins and Mr. Mason, but beyond many newspaper men. few of whom secured access to himself, the Secretary saw no one.

His plans for the future have already been defined. Mr. Melklejohn, the assistant Secretary of War, Is at present supposed to be In Wisconsin, whither he went two weeks ago to make a personal Inspection of the Fox river lm- luuvcuicuia, a. scneme which has given the engineering bureau endleu and which now requires some positive recommendation at the hands of the Secretary to Congress at the next session; He has been notified of what has happened, and la expected to return to Washington to assume charge of the War Department until such tlm President shall name a permanent Sec retary, rrooaoiy that will be by the end of the present month, and by the 1st of August Secretary Alger will be at liberty to lay down his taair. w- is much wearied by the weight of responsibility he has borne for nearly iww yew sua naii.

LOUISVILLE, THURSDAY STOKE Will Try To Shut Out Factional Quarrels TALKING OF NEW RULES. ONE 07 THOSE PROPOSED WOULD DEPOSE ALTGELD. REPORT IN DEVLIN'S CASE Will Censure Devlin and Recommend Abolition of the Committee Press Bureau. SILVER DEMOCRATS' ADDRESS.

Chicago, July 19. Acting Chairman William J. Stone, of Missouri, will, cad to order the Democratic National Committee at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, in the Sherman House. The Democrats gathered here expect to be busy with questions of political moment during the whole of the day. William Jennings Bryan will probably sit as a committeeman, arrangements having been made to furnish blm a proxy.

John P. Altgeld holds the proxy of William H. White, of Washington. His presence In the committee may; cause trouble, for it is believed that Thomas Gahan, member of the committee from Illinois, may question Mr. Altgeld'a right to represent a Democratic com mitteeman.

Apparently, Altgeld la desirous of avoiding trouble. He said to-day that he would not come to sit in the committee if any of the members resented it and accordingly telegraphed Mr. White, suggesting that some other proxy be named. "If I do not hear from Mr. White." said the ex-Governor tonight, -or If he Insists that I represent him.

I shall do so. But I have no desire to bring local affairs Into the committee." The discord between the Harrison and Altgeld factions of the local Democratic party was the salient feature of to-day's talk around the hotels. If Acting Chairman Stone's wishes are carried out and apparently most of the committeemen are with him. the factional differences local to Chicaao and New Tork will not be brought be fore the committee in any form. Talk of Kew Bulea.

It to probable that a c-r rule wJF adopted to-morrow nrovidinvi. whenever a vacancy occurs in -tlonal committee the State committee shall elect a member of the national committee to fill such vacancr. An other rule which is under consideration gives the national committee the right to judge of the qualifications of n. own members. Still another rule is be.

Ing talked of, which would force ex-Gov. Altgeld out of his Routt Inn member of the "Auxiliary Committee." which was originally composed of Mr. Altgeld. Senators Jones, Teller and Allen and Wm. J.

Stone. This rule will provide that all committees, auxiliary and otherwise, of the national committee shall be made up only of members of the big committee. As Mr. Altgeld is not a member of the national committee the adoption, of this rule would prevent his serving on any auxiliary committee. According to the plan of action given out to-day.

there will be two subsidiary committees named the Finance Committee, which wUl take the place of the Committee on Ways and Means, and the Executive Committee, which, in addition to Its other duties, will take charge of the press bureau. Will Censure Devlin, Mr, Woodson and Mr. Johnson, who were, members of the committee selected to Inquire Into the protest made by Thomas Gahan against P. J. Devlin, press agent of the national committee, have their report ready to submit to-morrw.

The report is understood to censi -e Mr. Devlin for the part he took an the Harriaon-Altgeld campaign last spring, and to recommend the abolishment of the press bureau. It ta Intimated that the resignations of Senators Teller and Allen and ex-Gov. Stone, as members of the Auxiliary or Ways and Means Committee, will be handed ln to-morrow. Senator Jones' absence ln Europe will leave Mr.

Altgeld the sole remaining member of this committee, and an attempt may be made to force him out and reorganise the committee, with only Democrats as members, leaving out the Populists and Sliver Republicans. Among the prominent Democrats here to-day were George Fred Williams, of Massachusetts; Oliver H. p. Belmont, of New York; Congressman J. A.

Norton, of Ohio; Wlliam J. Stone and Senator Francis M. Cockreli, of Missouri; Col. L. Victor Baughman, of Maryland, proxy for Arthur P.

Gorman; Clark Howell, of Georgia; William Goebel, Democratic candidate for Governor of Kentucky: Henry D. Clayton, of Alabama; William J. Otey, of Virginia; William R. Burke, proxy for Committeeman Dwyer, of California; John F. Shafroth, of Colorado; Col.

John Martin, of St Louis; Frank Campbell, of New Tork, and J. G. Johnson, of Kansas. NEW YOBX STXVEB MEN Issue' An Address To Members of the National Committee. Chicago, July 19.

Representatives of the Chicago platform Democrats of the State of New Tork to-night Issued an address to the members of the Democratic National Committee and to the Democratic voters of the United States as follows: We. acting as a committee, created and authorised by the Chicago platform Democracy of the State of New York, desire to make public the following well established facts concerning the situation ln the State, of New York, believing that everything affecting the political situation In that great State Is of national rather than merely local Importance. We assert without fear of successful contradiction two propositions: First An overwhelming majority of the voters In the Democratic party ln the State of New York are enthusiastically In favor of the principles laid down in the Chicago platform of 1HM, and demand without incanon ins Domination 01 mat man wno in iua record and la blm personal MORNING. JULY 20. stand for and lunti principles.

attHZil the small group Siv Hed UP th machln. fi York are absolutely opposed oprn. iU" 'or. and to the nomination ncerely holds those Principles, which we believe dominate the democratic organisation In the nation. And we further declare that the electoral machinery In the State of Nw York ta auch that to attempt to oust the men now In control of the Tammany organisation by work within that body would be fruitless.

ln support of the tlrat proposition laid hv only to point to two recent Illuminating- Instances In New York politics, Urst. the marked contrast between the attendance, the enthuaiaam and the hlKh spirit of devotion shown at the dinner of the Chicago platform Democracy, known as "The Dollar Dinner, and the purely perfunctory tone of the -dinner held on Jefrerron's birthday, by th so-called regular or Tammany organisation, and, second, the magnificent pop-uiovUon srtven within the hosttl walls of Tammany Hall to the one speaker who, hr the last three has dared to cast aslila the gag Imposed by Tammany rulers and proclaim the gospel of the Chicago platform and put forward the nam of William Jennings Bryan. In support of the second proposition we point to this record: After the election of lfSS the first opportunity which the Democratic organisation In New York had to put itself on record before the people was the nomination by the State Committee ln 1897 of Judge Alton B. Parker for Chief Judge Of the Court of Appeals. A committee appeared before the State Committee asking the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform.

It waa refused, the representatives of the New York city organisation voting ap Inst reaffirmation. Second The next opportunity for Tammany Hall to prove its loyalty to Democratic principles came when the organisation ln Greater New York was called upon to nominate a candidate for Mayor and to formulate a declaration of principles upon which that candidate should stand. Again reaflirmatlon of the Chicago platform was asked and refused and a man was selected as candidate for Mayor whose loyalty ln 189 was of thst perfunctory kind which confined itself tJ the casting of a secret ballot and avoiding pulilio expression of opinion. Third In 1W the Democrats of the State of New York had to put a State ticket in nomination. The man who controls the so-called Democratic organisation of the city of New York, who is himself that organization.

Mr. Richard roller, had said to a member of this commit-tea that he would ae that that convention should reaffirm the Chicago platform. lp to a few days immediately preceding the convention he and the men whom he dominated posed, as they still pose, as friends of that Democracy which finds its expression in the Chicago platform. When the convention assembled tbey not only refused to reaffirm, the principles laid down in 189s. but they refused to permit any man to gain the floor of the convention if they had reason even to suspect that he Intended to mention the Chicago platform or the name of the man who ran for the presidency upon it These are facts of public record.

'We put them before you now, believing that ycr sre already cognisant of them. All 'that we have done Is to put them in concrete form and re-emphasise them. Wo issue this address In order that the tkrt may bs put before the Democrats of tiio nation that the Tammany organisa-tksj la indifferent where it Is not hostile to those national issues for which the Democratic party stands; and we- aak the oo-overatlon of all Democrats, in or out uf official station, in the work of giving to the Democratic voters of tho State of New York an opportunity to express themselves and make their convictions effective in the nation. JAMES R. BROWN, Chairman.

DR. GEORGE W. THOMPSON, WILLIS ABBOTT. KEN'S ULTIMATUM. T'ffey Will Demand, the Retention of -vf Airent-Devlin July 19.

The Tribune tomorrow will, say: "Plans have been arranged by the uncompromising silver Democrats which may lead to the formation of a new National Committee. After several conferences. In which John P. Altgeld. George Fred Williams and, several other leading blmetallists were the principal participants, a programme for to-day's proceedings was promulgated.

It calls for respective meetings at noon of the three bimetallist organisations having organised committees, all of whom are now ln Chicago, and of the Illinois and the New York Chicago platform Democrats. Thereafter a Joint conference will be held, probably at the Unity building, to confirm whatever action may be taken by-the separate bodies. "Then a committee will apply to the National Committee for a hearing. Tbey expect to be admitted and given an opportunity to express their wishes. No action will be taken by the National Committee until the visitors have retired.

"George Fred Williams will move" that thepro position of the blmetallists to co-operate with the National Committee on Organisation and Campaign Work be accepted. If the motion is adopted everything will then go along smoothly and ln the most harmonious manner. If it is rejected, they will be prepared to act Independently. It Is said that their plans contemplate, ln the event they are turned down by the National Committee, the organisation at once of a national committee of their own. It will be formed before they quit Chicago.

Then an address will be issued to the Democrats of the country Informing them that this new National Committee is the one that stands for the Chicago platform, and the only one that should be recognised by the simon pure free, silver advocates of the land. "A movement will be started at once for the organization of the Chicago platform Democracy ln every Statt." William Prentiss, one of John P. Alt-geld's most Intimate friends, called cn Acting Chairman Stone, of the National Committee, to-night and delivered to him the ultimatum of. the allied bimetallic forces. Mr.

Prentiss came direct from a Joint conference of the Executive Committee of the Ohio Valley Bimetallic League and committees representing the Chicago Platform Democracy of Illinois, the Chicago Platform Democracy of New York and the National Bimetallic Union. He told Mr. Stone that If the National Committee at its meeting to-morrow removed P. J. Devlin from hla position as press agent of that committee- the act would be construed by the bimetal-, lists as hostile to the Chicago platform.

Neither Mr. Prentiss nor Mr. Stone would give the result of the conference in Mr. Stone's room, but the Altgeld man declared that P. J.

Devlin would not be removed and that Thomas Gahan and Carter Harrison would not triumph. WILL JONES BESIGN A Wild Texas Bumor That Ex-Qov. Hogg May Succeed Him. Austin.

James Hogg, of Texas, to the position of chairman of the committee to succeed Senator James K. Jones. This letter says further that the resignation of Chairman Jones is In the hands of one of the Western members of the committee. The proposed change is said to have been urged by Bryan, and the place Is to be given Hock as a reward for his services in bursting the Van Wyck boom at the Tammany celebration. Advices were received here to-night that James G.

Dudley, the Texas mem ber of the committee, offers to resign I to give Hogg a place, and that the latter's appointment will be made, 1890. GATHERED For Battle Are Clay Coun. ty Factions. ABOUT TWO MILES APART. ONE OF THE WOUNDED DIES, MAZING EOUB KILLED.

The Phil- pots have left their camps, quit work and are assembled on Little Goose creek. There are many of them and tbey are all heavily armed. The Philpots claim they have been Imposed upon and have all along tried In every way to maintain peace, but tbey are mad now over what tbey claim are recent outrages, and are ready for any trouble that may come up. More killing Is expected by all who are acquainted with the situation.

THE VICTIMS BUBIED. Meantime Both Sides Are In Arms and Only Two Miles Apart. London. Ky- July 19. Special.

Tbe Phtlpot-Morris feud had its origin in the Pigeon Roost battle eight years ago. and many men have fallen at the bands of the desperate opponents since that date. The armed forces of each aid seem to sparring for position, and a slaughter may take place at any time. The most optimistic agree that the outlook Is grave, and another battle would not surprise the most bopefuL Gov. Bradley has been advised by his trusted friends that there is a sad state of affairs existing here, and that more killing is likely to occur at any time.

The Governor has admitted that there seemed to be no remedy for Clay coun- VlawlessnessT and that he felt him self powerless to cope with the feudists under the existing laws. Monday's battle was not unexpected. It was an -open secret that- each 1 side wu Mit-vlna: arms for the other, and had been for some time. The Griffin faction went about ln squads heavily, The PhilDots carried weapons at all times, as was evidenced by the fact that they were well supplied-with Winchesters and Colts the morning of the battle. Ed Fisher, who fell mortally wounded and died yesterday, was buried In the Philnot family burying ground to day.

The Rev. Mr. Garland conducted the funeral services, a jiost ql relatives numbering several hundred were present Robert Phllpot is probably fatally wounded, but was reported as doing-well this morning. Aaron Morris, Hugh and Harve Griffin, were taken ln the same wagon to the cemetery near Manchester and buried. An armed guard followed the bodies to tlte cemetery.

Both sides are In arms In large numbers and are about two miles apart The last man who had ever killed a Phllpot died when Aaron Morris fell and It is said to be the boast of that strong faction that no man lives who ever killed one of their number. NO FUBTHEB ACTION Will Taken By Gov. Bradley At the Present Time. Frankfort. Ky, July 19.r-tSpecial.

The Legislature will not be called in extra session by Gov. Bradley to deal with the situation In Clay county. The chief executive reached this determination to-night after conferring with Circuit Judge Thomas Z. Morrow, of tbe Pulaski district; State Inspector Lester and others In his confidence, believing that the session would result In nothing that he desired. No other steps ln the matter are likely to be taken Just at this time, as Information has been received that all of tbe parties to the latest feudal trouble who were not killed or mortally wounded have been placed under arrest by the county authorities.

Governor realises that all tbe troops In the service could not prevent the Clay mountaineers from picking one another off In the remote- rations of the county, or even ln the town of Manchester, and that It Is unnecessary to Send them there except to protect the courts. The session In Ciay does not begin until some time next month, and no orders will likely be Issued to the troops before that time. The Governor expects but little from this session of court, but feels that he has done everything possible permitted by the present laws of the State to restore order -in Clay. A well-known mountain official, who was called on by the Governor for an opinion as to what was the best measure to be resorted to for tbe restoration of order In Clay county, responded that be thought the whole thins; could be settled by Introducing a better grade of whisky Into Manchester to take the place of moonshine liquor, distilleries for which are on almost every farm.
