Ge.ting Ready for Dewey

New York. Aug. 4.-Chairnan Foster
of the Dewey reception committee said
yesterday that a letter had been re-
ceived from the president of the Penn
sylvania Railway Company promising
to comply with the wishes of the com
mittee in regard to the decoration of
the company's property.
The company promises to decorate
the end of its pier with design in
electric lights in the form of double
arch with the words Welcome to
Dewey" which will be seen all over
the harbor. The company will also
decorate with flags its other piers, and
the steampship companies have prom
ised to decorate their piers on the Jer-
sey side in similar manner. so that
there will be an appropriate display on
both sides of the river on the occasion
of the celebration.
1t was decided to have 5000 or 10000
children at Grants tomb on the second
day of the Dewey celebration. They
will be formed into a square and will
sing national songs in honor Of the adj
miral. This is substitute for the chill
dren's parade which was at first pro-
posed.

ALGER MAY RETIRE.
Indications Thnt He May Give Vi
the Senatorial Race

the Senatorial Race.
Detroit. Mich, Aug. 4.-Governor Pin
gree's speech at the Alger demonstra-
ton, his friends think, was i'll advised
and has resulted in opening still Wild
er breach between the retired secretary
and the administration.
Ever since General Alger announced
his candidacy for the senate there has
been a feeling that he would not remain
In the compaign and since his resigna- :
ton from the cabinet and his refusal
to renew his avowal to run this belief
has gained strength despite the assur-
ances of Governor Pingree. Since his
return to the city General Alger has
talked with a number of intimate
friends and has spoken of the senators
ial campaign. These friends have
caused the rumor to be sent abroad
that the general is seriously considering
the advisability of withdrawing from
the contest.
Alger himself will neither deny nor
affirm his candidacy. 1t is believed that
unless assured that his chances are
strong he will retire from the race. The
most confident of the Pingree people
admit that 1t is desperate fight. The
Mcmillan people are more than salts
ned with the situation. w. C. Mcmillan
is out of the city, but both the senator
and his son We're informed by wire last
night Of the exact nature of the recep.
tion and the unsuccessful effort of Gov
ernor Pingree to turn the welcoming
demonstration into an anti-administra-
tion and anti Mcmillan affair. The
speech of the governor has tickled the
Mcmillan contingent and this morning
one of the senator's associates received
kilograms from both the senator and
his son to the effect that they We're more
than satisfied with the demonstration.
Pingree's speech Is what gives them
particular pleasure.
1.-THE line said close friend and
business associate of Mcmillan, "s
clearly drawn. Governor Pingree has
thrown the glove into the arena andNthe
tournament has opened. 1t is the ad-
ministration against the ants. and AL
ger has allied himself with the antis.
We haven't any doubt that whatever
beneficial effects .Alger received from
the reception Will be more than coun-
teracted by the vltuperative speech of
Pingree and his doleful failure in turn
ing the movement against the admins
tration.
Senator Mcmillan is in the race to
stay. but can tell you right here that
we don't expect that Alger will remain
In the fight. He must see the weak
ness of his position and will probably
avoid the fatigue and expense of a
campaign which will result in defeat.
"Pingree's speech has made the adj
ministration hostile to Alger's candi-
dacy. / don't think that it was ever in
favor of him when choice between
Mcmillan and Alger was before it. but
now 1t is and of necessity must be unal-
terably opposed to his election

expressly forbidden.
In order TO maintain the dignity of

charged that Gen. Brooke has been ex-
spent $4,000 in repairing the palace he
occupies. formerly that of the Spanish
military governor. 1t is also said he
has expended $4,000 for the purchase
OF harness. Gen. Corbin said yesterday
that these expenditures were authorized
by Gen. Alger. Gen. Brooke and the
