ALGER'S FIRST ANNUAL
Secretary of War Makes Many
Recommendations for I'M
proving the Service.
Would Increase the Artillery
Branch in Order to Man
New Fortifications.
Military Force Is Also Neces-
sary to Suppress LaWless-
ness in Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-In his first
annual report Secretary Alger makes
many recommendations for the better
ment of the administration of the war
department, based upon the conclusions
OF his subordinate officers. He asks
favorable consideration for the PROPOSE
ton to add two regiments to the artil-
lery branch, pointing to the valuable
Notifications now being erected, which,
he says, should not be manned by a
corporal's guard. He says Of Alaska
that as many as 100000 people will be
gathered there next year and military
force should be sent to the territory and
large emergency powers should be
granted to the president to repress law
lessness. Secretary Alger recommends
the revival of the grade of lieutenant
general, saying that all the great ma.
tions give their officers much higher
gank than Goes the United States.
He indorses the recommendation Of
the superintendent of the military
academy, that the number of students
at West Point be increased by allowing
each senator to nominate a cadet. AS
an alternative, he suggests that the
president be authorized to appoint 10
cadets at large each year.

GREAT BRITAIN WILLING.
Anxious for Closer Relations Between

Anxious for Closer Relations Between
Canada and the United states.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-There is
good reason to believe that the British
government will view with favor the
formation of a commission to clear up
vexatious questions between the United
States and Canada. This attitude will
be important in the consummation of
the commission plan, for the best ef-
forts of the United States and Canada
toward general settlementlwould come
to naught unless the imperial govern.
ment approved the efforts and stood
ready to give them official execution in
the form of treaty. At first the sharp
differences aroused by the recent Be-
ring sea meeting led to the belief that
Great Britain might stand in the way of
commission which would discuss,
among other questions, such imperial
subjects as the tariff. 1t appears, how
ever, that the British authorities are
sincerely anxious to close up the vari-
Gus irritating questions which have
long existed between Canada and the
United States, through the medium of
a commission or otherwise.

GEN. ORDWAY DEAD
sUCCuMBs TO EFFECTS OF A COLD
CONTRACTED IN PARIS.
Wayward Daughters Career Said
to Have Hastened the End.
His Military Record.

New YORK, Nov. 22.-General AL.
bert Ordway died at 7:l5 p. m. at the
Hoffman House in this city. When
death came the generals wife, his sis
ter, Miss Emma Ordway, DR.. Pease,
the attending physician, and Lieuten-
ant Very, close friend and business
associate, were at his bedside. General
Ordway and his wife returned from
Europe last Wednesday. They en-.
gagged rooms at the Hoffman House.
Next day the general was taken sick
and he continued to grow weaker and
weaker until he passed away.
The generals death was doubtless
fastened by the sad and recent events
in connection with his wayward daugh-
ter, Bettina Girard. The latter, a
complete wreck, was day or two ago
transferred to private sanitarium from
Bellevue hospital.
Owing to the pleading of his wife,
who had become reconciled to her
daughter, General Ordway consented
to the return of the prodigal and re-
union Of the family in Washington was
arranged.
General Ordway's death is attributed
by the attending physician to Jaundice
and pleurisy, which developed from a
cold contra cted in Paris.

wind was blowing and the fercely

and Swanston streets and Flanders
Lane, with the exception of two build

The burned section included many of the

The buildings were completely gutted,
as most of them contained soft goods,
and the flames progressed with rapid
ity which defied all checking, and in
the furious wind ashes and burning
debris were carried into the suburbs

1t is estimated that the loss will
reach 81, 900, 900 ($5, 600, ,OOo), while the

General Ordway Served With Credit and
GaIlantry in the Civil War.
Brevet Brigadier General Alfred Ord
way. who was born in 1S43, served with
credit and gallantry throughout the civil
war. An act of personal gallantry at
New Berne, n. c., was followed by his
appointment as adjutant of his regiment.
He remained in North Carolina until
June, 1868; later served in the Army of
the Potomac, then in Florida, and
through the campaign of 1S6i-65 in the
Army of the James. After the occupa-

yost marshal of Virginia, where, through
D. norton of the troublous reconstruction
times. he directed the delicate duty OF
his position with much skill and
tact. For gallantry at various times
and because of his ability he had been
successively promoted, until when slightly
over % years of age he was made brevet
brigadier general, being the youngest Off

After being mustered out General Ord

national guard for a number of years, he
brought that organization up to a high
standard.
