ALGER rs WEI COINED.
Ex-Secretary Of War II Warmly
Greeted Upon His Arrival :.
At Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 3.-Whatever
may have been the personal feelings Of
the late secretary of war, Gen. Russell
A. Alger, concerning recent incidents
of his official career, all sentiments save
those of genuine happiness were very
evidently banished Wednesday after
noon and evening by the magnificent
welcome rendered him by the people of
his own city and state. From four
O'Clock, when the welcoming committee
crowded into his private car upon its ar
rival at Toledo, until nine o'clock, when
the general ceased grasping out
stretched hands, the scene was a con-
slant and spontaneous ovation.
The special train which met Gen. AL
ger and party at Toledo consisted
OF six coaches. 1t carried 400 members
of the reception committee.
When the train arrived here the gen.
erals car was besieged by his old
friends. Gen. Alger was escorted
through the reception train and greet
ed by all. Headed by about 300 bicy-
clists, over 1000 marchers escorted Gen.
Alger from the Michigan Central sta
ton by circuitous course, leading past
the generals home to the reviewing
stand. Militia and veterans of the civil
war, including Fairbanks post, G. A. R.,
of which the general is member, a
company of Spanish war veterans and
scores of marchers in secret society uni
forms, filed past. Fairbanks post car
ried two great banners, stretching half
across the street, which declared,
'There is only one Alger."
When Gen. Alger appeared upon the
reviewing stand there was roar of ap-
plause from the dense crowd which
blockaded all traffic across the campus
martius. The eX-secretary reviewed
the parade and returned the salutations
of many marchers, especially these Of
veteran G. A. r. comrades.

a series of meetings for an exchange of
opinions. Drafts of plans for arbitra-

not rejected they were not approved.
