Tho New Secretary Of War.

another undesirable character to the
Mckinley Cabinet. Aiger has mill

there is nothing to be said against
it. But the records show that Gene.
Custer and Sheriden recommended
the dismissal of Colonel AIger for
absence without leave-practically
desertion. Five days later Colonel
Alser was discharged.
That ended the military career of
Alger. The rank of general was
afterward picked up somehow or
other, but the war record Of Alger
ended with his discharge for absence
