He Gives the t'reidait His Orders J THE SPEAKERSHIP Piatt's Candidate-An Extra Session of Congress How Civil Service Works. I From our Kegular Correspondent.) Washington, May H, Secretary Alger, who bus just returned to Washington, is lacking in many of the characteristics that go to make an ideal Secretary of War, but he attempts to make up for all of them with gall, of which he has about as much as any man who ever held a cabinet portfolio. And this latest is a little beyond nil his previous ex ploits iu the gall line. He has actually gone so far us to dictate to Mr. Mc Kinley, if the public talk of his hench men can be believed. According to the Algerites, Alger is not satisfied with the white-washing given him by the War Commission and the alleged vindication given him by the report of the Military Court of Inquiry, which Mr. McKinlcy has just approved and ordered published, but demands that Gen. Miles shall .be deposed from the command of fhe army. In addition to having demanded this of Mr. McKinlcy, Alger is said to have told him that if he did not issno the order transferring Miles from Commander of the army to one of the military divisions, he would, as Secretary of War, issue it himself, thus forcing 'residential action one way or the other. It !s not sur prising that Mr. McKinlcy should have concluded lo go to the Virginia Hot Springs and try to clear out his system by a few hot baths. Hut it is Algerism he will have lo clean out to accomplish anything. l'latt's edict, has gone forth that New York shall have but one candidate for the speakership, and that Payne, Ray and. possibly other members of the dele gation, who have cither positively or partially announced themselves as candi dates, will be forced out of the way to give Sherman the unanimous support of the delegation. This, and rumors that Sherman had made a deal with Hnnnn caused quite a marked boom In Sherman stock, and Sherman is now Iu favor in s)orting circles. Treasury officials have refused lo al low an item headed "Traveling expenses" in the person accounts of Roger C. Si ner. Special Indian Agent ''tempor arily" in charge ot the Indian ware house in Chicago, bceauso--tho aforesaid traveling expenses were incurred by Spooner in going between his homo In Wisconsin and his office in Chicago, and are not considered to have been nec essary to the proper performance of his public duties. Spooner is a brother of Senator Spooner and holds Ids position by a trick. The position of Superinten dent of the Indian warehouse is sup posed to be under Civil Service I!ules; also to be vacant. Nearly a year ago. Senator Spooner carried an order lo Sec retary Bliss, from Mr. McKinlcy, Idl ing him to provide a good place for his brother. It was done by appointing him as special Indian agent and pulling him iu temporary charge of the warehouse in Chicago, where he has been ever since, filling a position that is in fhe classified service, without ever having even taken an examination. It has been decided by the republican lenders that an extra session of Congress shall be called, probably early In the fall, but iu order to give themselves ail op portunity to change their minds, should it Im deemed advisable later to do so. they will not say more than that an extra session is probable. A short time ago they were figuring on a walk-over for McKinlcy next year, but now they are frightened. One or them said: "Mr. McKinlcy will, of course, lie a candidate for re-nomination, but it is by no means certain that he will win. The scandals under his admin istration have made it difficult for his friends to defend it. Alger, Shaffer, Eagan and others, who have figured prominently in the administration, have not added to Mr. McKinley's reputation or improved his chances for re-nomination. Conservative observers believe that Algerism and Enganism will prove to be a heavier load than Mr. McKinlcy can carry, aud that even it he should be nominated again, he would be defeated. THE WEATHER. The forecast of the weather bureau for Raleigh and vicinity says: Conditions favorable for a thunderstorm this even ing; Tuesday fair, cooler. A moderate barometric depression ex ists in the upper Ohioi valley, which caused local thunderstorms in the east ern section of the country, with heavy rains at some stations in North Carolina yesterday afternoon. Raleigh reported 1.26 inches, Wilmington 1.40, and New born 3i00 inches. The weather is generally fair over Florida and Texas, but unsettled else where. It is slightly cooler In the Lake region and northwest. CHILDREN'S MUSICALE. Tomorrow (Tuesday) evening the chil dren will giro a mnsicalc at the home of Mrs. T. II. Brlggs.

SUPREME COURT Dicky Bird mi the Coming Decisions The main topic of conversation today is what will the Supreme court decide tomorrow? The court will probably ad journ then and many important decisions are expected. Indeed never in the his tory of the State did so many important political matters rest upon the verdict of that tribunal as at the present time. A prominent Republican politician said. this morning: "1 lielievo I can fell how fhe Supreme court will decide these cases. Here is the way lie says that they will be decided: 1. The suit for keeper of the capllol ill favor of Cherry. I teniocral . 'J. The public priming case In favor of Ilanies. H. The Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad suit in favor of Patrick hold ing until September next. 4. The Asheville clerk of tin ui't ea-e ill favor of the Republican. !". The Agricultural Hoard suit iu favor of the Democrats. This is the way a prominent Republi can says that they will be decided but it rcuiauis to be seen how much he knows about it. He also said that if I lie Republican clerk won iu the Asheville case then Dr. Abbott would certainly win. STEAMSHIP ASHORE. FIRE ISLAND. .May S.

MA.Ml.A. May S. The demoralizing of tlie Filipino army has culminated iu an open revolt ot General Mascardo against General Luna, second to Aguiu aldo iu command. Aguinnto has ordered a court martini to try Mascardo. Gen eral Lima .sent orders to Gen. Mascardo at Ilacolar to hurry reinforcements to him just before the battle at Santo Toinas. Cen. Mascardo flatly refused lo obey the order and sent word to Gen. Luna that he would only take orders from Gen. Aguinaldo. General Luna iinniediati iy selected fifteen hundred of his best troops and started for Bacalor enforce his order. Gen. Mascardo igain refused to obey the orders given lien. Luna, lioth armies formed in hie of battle, but: before opening Gen, una gave Gen. Mascardo one more bancc. Col. Arguilles was sent to (Jen. .Mascardo under a ting of truce. Gen. Masiiinlo still persisted in his refusal ill consented to leave the question to Jen. Aguinaldo. This livened hoslili ics. Ceil. Luna appealed to Aguinaldo who immediately ordered a court martial o try .Mascardo. MANILA, May S.-The insurgent forces have been divided into one body miller Con. Mascardo, going west of San Fernando, and the other In command of (Jen. Luna moving north. Both of these loaders lay claim to fhe supreme i-uiiuand ot the lilipmo army. Gen. Luna will probably fall back to lYrl.io ami thence move toward San Isi- lor. (Jen. MacArthur will probably retain San Fernando as a base of operations sending toit detachments as be deems I'.irv. VACCINATION Olio Point. Which Will be Tested Several person have refused to be vac illated and the vaccinators have report -d them to the mayor and warrants will be issued for them tomorrow morning. A rumor was current In the city to ay that the compulsory vaccination or- linance would be tested, hence City At- torney Walter Watson lias been looking no authorities. He is confident that 111.' irdinance is correct and can. stand the st. There seems to be no question as ' the constitutionality and there, has poured no disposition to test this point. However, it is said that Mr. .1. ('. L. Harris will bring up a test case on one point, namely that fhe mayor has no ight lo appoint any one as a vaccinator xeept a regular licensed physician. Tic laim is that t ovaccinale some person would be dangerous ami that fhe vac- iuafor should be able to make a liagnosis of Ihe patient, when necessary before he attempts vaccination. How le test ease will be made eauiuit b" arued ut this time. SOUTHERN STUDENT CONF10B- KXCB AND SUMMER CONFER ENCE FOR Y'OUXC, MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION WOR KERS.

Miss lleth was norn several years after the war at the old colonial lleth homestead, which sat upon the banks of (be James, near Richmond, and was purchased by her great grandfa ther in the last century. She is a typical daughter of the south, of the best blood. refined through generations ot culture. strengthened by generations of religious raitn and discipline, as delicate In taste andse ntiuient as she is strong iu heart and brain, Willi a personality sweet and winning. The charming sponsor from North Car olina will be Miss Holt ot Burlington and Miss Adelaide Snow, one ot Ra leigh's loveliest and most attractive young women, will be maid of honor.

New York, May C Carrier pigeons were used instead of wine at tho launching of the Helen C. Juillard, th second floating hospital ship constructed under the auspices of St. John's Guild. The launching took place at Poillon's shipyard, Brooklyn. The original float ing hospital came from Twenty-fourth street loaded with guests. Rear Admiral Philip not only furnished the carrier pigeons, but sent a tug or two to bring the original hospital, and then came iu person with Mrs. Philip in another navy yard boat with Commander J. D. Kelly, of his staff, and a number of ladies and officers from the yard. The navy-yard band played on floating hospital No. 1. The birds were released, by Miss Cath erine O.
