Regarding American Politics.

London Times Offers Some Suggestions
Regarding American Politics.
London, Aug. 26.-Discussing the
rumor that Secretary of War Alger will
take refuge in the senate to escape re-
sponsibility for his blunders in the war
office and that Senator Mcmillan will
become ambassador in London, the
Times expresses the opinion that if
America becomes q oolonizing power,
she will be compelled to abandon this
fuctuating style Of administration in
favor of trained civil and military ad-
ministrators, not likely toremoval with
each presidential change, and not too
dependent upon politics for their selec-
tion and promotion. 1t will be equally
impoi tant to cultivate permanence in
diplomatic representation abroad.

been received here confirming the re-
ported loss OF the stern. wheeler
Stickeen Chief. A letter received
