HOSTILE TO M'KINLEY.
Repudiated Statement Made
by Secretary Alger.

DETROIT, June Ex-Governor Pin
gree made a statement, brought out by
Washington dispatches, which quoted
Secretary Alger as saying that "Gover-
nor Pingree is for President Mckinley
first. last and all the time"
Said the governor: eff General Al
ger said that, it is his opinion from his
point of view The question whether l
am for Mckinley lies with the presi-
dent, not with me. If General Alger
knows that President Mckinley is op-
posed to territorial expansion, and is
not an advocate of the murders and the
destruction being visited upon the lnno-
cent Fillpinos, he has right to say that
an for Mckinley.
"If General Alger is informed that
Mckinley is opposed to trusts and to
legislation whlcn fosters, creates and
encourages them, and in favor of legls-
lation to restrict and suppress them,
then [ am closer to the opinions
of Mckinley than has generally been
believed. Ii General AlSer is assured
that President Mckinney is not IN
touch and sympathy with the disrepu-
table political methods of Mark Hanna
and his friends, and deprecates such
leadership, then [ am for Mckinley.
1.-The question of whether L favor
Mckinley is of no consequence in this
senatorial matter, but L am for Mck1n-
fey in everything he does which l con-
slder right and against everything he
does which l consider wrong.

IA man who is disappointed in
political ambitions and who gets out
and hustles against other candidates
because they did not support him is
unworthy of place in any party. =
Beacon.
This little thrust is intended Tor
the Hon. J. Park Alexander, but it
applies with equal force to a lot of
local Republicans who have not
always been the embodiment of 10y
atty. Even the sanity Mark Hanna
would find himself outside the party
lines were certificate that he never
"got out and hustled against the
other candidates" required from
him. Call the roll of local Republi-
can office-holders or their heirs
apparent who never bolted the party
ticket for cause, and the Beacon
could not muster corporal's guard.
THE latest report by Gen. Otis
concerning the condition of Ameri-
can troops in the Philippines is any
thing but encouraging. He says:
"Our troops have worked to the
limit of endurance. Sickness among
the troops has increased lately, due
mostly to arduous service and eli
matte influences. Nothing alarm
ing. OF the u per cent of the COM
mand reported sick, nearly 6 per
cent are in the general hospital, of
whom per cent have typhoid and
II per cent malariaf fevers; % per
cent have intestinal trouble, the
remaining 55 per cent have various
ailments, IA per cent of which are
due to wounds and injuries. Man,
officers and men who served in Cuba
break down under recurrence of the
Cuban fever, and the regular regi-
ments lately received are made
quately officered."
This message is strangely out OF
tune with the series sent in severa'
months ago announcing that the
backbone of the rebellion" had
been broken.

DEVOTED WIFE SLAIN.
Tried to Prevent Her Husband From
Committing Suicide.

Kutztown. Pa. March 17--Mrs- Level
lyn Grim, of New Smithville. whc was
mortally wounded by her husband Wednes-
day night. died at noon yesterday after
making a statement generating her hus-
band from the terrible charge OF murder
According TO this statement. her husband
had frequently threatened to kill himself
Last night he came home intoxicated and
informed his wife that he intended to COM
nit suicide. She pleaded with him not TO
do so, but he got a revolver and ran up
Stairs. The wife followed and found him
standing before a looking glass with his
finger pressing the trigger
With a shrek the woman flung herself
upon him and made frantic efforts to get
possession of the revolver. Realizing that
she was struggling for the life of him she
had married but three years before. the
devoted wife at last grasped the weapon
Then followed a desperate struggle, with
the result that the charge was exploded

the revolver from her husbands grasp
The cartridge entered the abdomen OF

Frenzied by the belief that his attempt
| TO kill himself would possibly result IN
| the death of his wife, Grim hurriedly sum
moued Drs Edwin and E. L. HOttenstein
and then disappeared. Everything possible
was done to alleviate the woman's suffer-
| ing, but she grew rapidly worse and died
about noon.

SUGAR THE MONARCH
In STOCK TRADINGS
Absorbs the Attentions Of
Spectators.
Other Shares Shadowed Under Its
PyrOtechnic Fluctuations.
Bulls With Saccharine Tastes RaiJ-
ing the Pits i'm Wall Street.
Higher Prices Expected.

New York, March 17.-Sugar was again
the prominent feature in the stock market
this morning. Five seconds after business
began, the Sugar pit was filled with shout
ing traders and the scramble for dollars
was on. The gallery, as usual during ex-
cited markets, was well filled with spec
tators From this point of vantage it
looked as if 500 bowling dervishes had
taken possession of the place The noise
was deafening and the rushing terrific.
Messengers ran hither and thither and
hatless and breathless clerks ran in, fran
tically waving kilograms and orders
1t was almost impossible to keep track
of the quotations in Sugar, SO quickly
practically neglected.
Sugar opened at 100, gain of half
point over last nights but in flash it was
down to 15S and, five minutes later had
dropped another point. Then a rally took
place and by rapid gains the stock went to
164 II, in the next nine minutes. Violent
fluctuations up and down followed, the
sotck at one time reaching 165 1-2
AT II o'clock it had fallen again to
l62 IL. The transactions were on an i'm
! mense scale, but the stock showed a re-
markable stability at ihe high level The
shorts are completely demoralized and
made frantic endeavors to cover.
Some failures are looked for as a num-
ber of spectators are known to BE- pretty
hard hit The latest rumors in connection
with the boom are that some of the Stand
ard magnates have engineered the bull
movement and that they and their friends
have cleared barrels of money.
James Keene, who was supposed yester-
day TO be on the short side came out on
top. He is said to have won a great
amount of money through the squeezing OF
the shorts. Ii is predicted in some quar-
ters that Sugar will go to 200 before the
present boom stops.

NEW RELATIONS WITH JAPAN.
To BE Brought About by the Treaty
Which Goes Into Effect in July.

Extensive changes in the relations be-
tween the United States and Japan will be
brought about on July Il next, when the
new treaty between the two nations goes
into effect. II was negotiated several years
ago, but its actual operations was deferred
so as to give time for adjusting affairs TO
the changed conditions. Similar treaties
have been made by Japan with most of the
other first t-olass powers. Their essential
feature is to give Japan status as mod
ern nation. instead of imposing the re-
strictions which she was under, along with
China and other Eastern countries. before
her advance TO modern methods. The en-
tire extra-territorial system is swept away
by the new. treaties.
This gave to foreign powers including
the United States, right TO the civil and
criminal cases relating 10 their own citi-
zens in consular courts, instead of in the
Japanese courts. Hereafter these foreign
courts will be abolished and japanese
courts will try all cases alike.
Another feature is in opening up the en-
tire interior of Japan to the capital and en-
terprise of foreign merchants. At present
the restrictions on aliens are exceedingly
severe, except at Yokohama and a few
large places. the interior being practically
in the exclusive occupancy of the natives.
Now, however. foreign settlement and
trade are invited and the richness of the
interior promises large commercial returns.
The rates of duty between the two coun
tries will not be much changed, as this
branch of the new relation already has gone
into Operation.

Persistent buying is seen in the stocks as
