C., July 18.? as. Senator Tillman passed through res Washington today on his way to l,0 the meeting of the democratic 3ni' committee at Chicago. He said he did not know what nt] was the purpose of the meeting or so. what subjects would come up for ar consideration. I , en South Carolina, he said, was still lor Bryan and would send m. that sort of a delegation to the o tly next democratic national convene rill tion. On the subject of tho general >ld 'political situation as respects the rt? democratic party he said that he to was fully aware that a determined ;ai- clTort was being made by "some gold bugs and traitors, assisted by r|). republicans, and probably with ter mark Henna's money," to drop frco silver from tho democratic or^ platform. Whdfi the convention ^be meets, he said, there would pro bably be a very determined tight made to accomplish this; but he was confident that it could not succeed. He said he thought the democratic convention would be safely under the control of Bryan people and that the platform of '90 would be readopted with such additions as more recent develop, uients required. ftr Speaking of the Philippine situ jn ation, he said that it looked tc him as if the administration had re. entirely underestimated the dimive culties of the campaigh and that after the big sacrifice of life and jn-1 ? money we were about in the same . ' position we were at the outbreak eir * ~ of hostilities. led i ? 3nt DROWNED IN BIG SALUDA, in Young Kahn Sheal}' Loses His the!

Secre? tary Alger today tendered to the ; President his resignation of the war portfolio. The resignation 1 will boeotne effective on August tirst, though it was tendered 4'at the pleasure of the President." 1 Gossip has begun already as to his successor, hut it 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. So little was it expected at this time, that some of the cabinet officers, when the I nntt'o <1 U1 ! * uvno mai nctiiiiic [inuiu: were inclined to regard the announcement as premature. Formal acceptance of the renignation had not be* n made by the president 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 Secretary Alger, neither of whom would talk on the subject, nor was the letter of resignation obtainable at this time. For the present nothing will lie made known officially concerning the severance of the official relations between the President and his War Minister, but later on, the correspondence closing the latter's career as chief of the War Department doubtless will be given to the press.
