Secretary-of- War Alger, in an inter-
view. defended the administration OF his
department He places the blame for
the horrible coSiition Of camps on the
shoulders Of The officers in charge Of
those camps
Secretary Alger says that neither he,
the surgeon-general the quarteFmaster-
general. nor the commissary-gene
should be held responsible. and that it is
an outrage to blame them. He declares
they have filed every requisitiOn that
has been made, and every necessity or
luxury that has been asked for.
The Secretary hopes that Congress will
investigate all the charges made. He
would order an investigation himself
but fears the people would say that il
was made by interested persons.
Secretary Alger was seen at his home
on X street. He is recovering from his
illness. lie was indignant al the charges
made against him. saying: I'VE have an
army OF 250 600 in the field, scattered from
Manila to Porto Rico. and yet the
press OF the country appears TO think
that the Secretary Of War should locate
every camp and dig every sink for the
men. 1t is ridiculous. IL is true that

There has not been a request made that

But the Secretary Of War could not

INVESTIGATION.

| The Washington correspondents pre-
dict that the coming session OF Congress
| will be a warm and an interesting one.
According to their forecasts pretty much
| the entire session is likely TO be taken
| UP with inquiries regarding the conduct
f! OF the war. Not only. we are told, will
the alleged mismanagement. negligence.
| partments be ventilated, but light will
| be let In upon the dark shadow OF
political and personal influence and
political and personal enmity, which, It
is asserted, exercised control and in
nuence that can neither be justified nor
defended"
And, according to one exceedingly we'll
posted correspondent, there is one par
ticular branch OF this latter division Of
the subject which is already especially
to the fore in the talk about the congress
sional programme. This is the treatment
melted out 10 southern officers and south
ern troops. Vague and unsatisfactory
explanations says this correspondent,
have emanated from official quarters in
response to circumstances because no op-
portunity for duty in the field was
given to troops of the Southern States.
The condemnation of this is very severe
and is really more pronounced among
northern than among southern men. De-
finite and explicit reason for this will be
asked on the floor Of Congress.
No doubt the coming session of Con-
gress is going TO be lively along the
lines Of elimination and recrimination
and attempts at investigation. But the
Republican party is responsible for the
conduct of the war, and may be depend
ed upon to make every possible effort
to shut out light and prevent tho truths
coming out. II will be the policy
Of ne Republicans to cover up
their tracks. If the people would
see started Investigation that will in
vestigate and would get at the bottom
facts, let them in the November
elections return Democratic House.

Atlanta held a large meeting Of its cit-
zens the other night in favor OF lower
taxes, and the priasae Of municipal
ownership of public utilities, such as
water-works, gas and electic-light plants,
street-car lines, &c. The meeting resolved
in part as follows:
Whereas. the city Of Atlanta is bur
dened with a high rate of taxation, and
whereas. the example Of the city of Glas-
gov, Scotland, and others, proves that
true economy in the management of a
city consists not in cutting down the sala-
ries of the rank and file Of it's employees.
but in the creation Of an income from
the municipal ownership Of the public
utilities. such as the water-works. cleo
tric-lighting plants, gas-wOrks, street-car
lines, etc, for owing to the income flow
ing into the public treasury from these
sources, Glasgow has, during the past
year. been able TO exempt its citizens

Concerning the War.

War with Spain is an actual fact.
While there have been no engagements
between the opposing forces, one or two
of the greatest naval battles in the his
tory of the world are in prospect. In
the preliminaries, the United States has
secured distinct advantage. A number
OF rich prizes have been taken by Uncle
Sans ships, and not single plank of
American shipping has yet been harmed
by the Spanish.
1t will not be surprising if the first en-
gagement of Importance occurs IN Asiatic
waters, where Commodore Dewey's
squadron is cruising and awaiting orders
TO attack the Spanish fleet and land
forces on the PHILIPPINES. Our fleet there
is much stronger than is SPANS, and the
result of battle cannot be in doubt.
1t is thought the Spanish tlotilla is
about to leave for American waters, and
it is probable, in that event, that the
strength of the navies of the two countries
will be tried i'm Cuban waters, the flying
squadron uniting with Admiral Samp
sons fleet to give the visitors from across
the ocean warm welcome.
The Oregon and Marietta have rounded
Cape Horn, and are now in Atlantic
waters, and it is possible they may have
to fight before reaching home.
The bill authorizing the increase of
the regular army to 6l,0O0 men is now
law, and the fighting strength of the
regulars is being more than doubled to
reach that figure. The presidents call
for l25,000 volunteers is meeting with
hearty response, and ten times that
number can be speedily placed under
arms if necessary. Michigan's quota of
the volunteers called for is four regi-
ments of infantry.
Monday, both houses passed, on recon-
mendation of the president, formal
declaration of war against Spain, with
out dissenting vote.
England and France have each de-
clared strict neutrality, and other
European nations will doubtless follow
their example.
Altogether, the prospect is that there
will be plenty of fighting, with all the
odds in favor of the triumph of the
United States.
Spain must leave the western hemi-
sphere.

A BOSTON LANDMARK.
Demolition of the Home of the Tea
 Party Conspiracy.

|, Boston, Oct. 29.-The old Bradlee house, corner of Fremont and Hollis streets, is being torn down to make way for modern business structure. This house is one Of the historic land- marks in Boston. In it's wide old kitchen the leaders of the Boston tea party disguised themselves as Indians on the evening of December Is. 1772. before going to the wharf where the ters of Boston harbor.
 Built in 1771, the Bradlee house is still strong enough to stand another hundred years, and doubtless would have been left where is stands were it not for the city's growth around it. The land comprised in its site and the yard at its Hollis street side has rissn so much in value that building pro- ductive of proportionate revenue must be put up to meet the increase in taxes. The. land, which cost only few hun dred dollars when the house was new, is now worth about $100.000. In the yard of the old house today, piled around with old lumber, is the original well. just as it was in revolutionary days. with the same coping and the old pump that has done service the best part Of century. The water from this well is still good and sweet. The house narrowly escaped destruction during the siege Of Boston by the can non balls aimed by Americans on Dor chester Heights at the Hollis street church, which was filled with British soldiers.
