Qualities Gen. Algers Statements About His
Attitude to Mckinley.
Says President Can Have His Support
When He Conforms to Pin
gree's Views.

DETROIT, Mich, June 26.-Gov. Pingree
today made a statement brought out by
Washington dispatches which quoted Sec
rotary Alger as saying that Gov. Pingree
Is for President Mckinley first, last and all
the time
Said the governor: 'If Gen. Alger said
that it is his opinion from his point of view
The question whether / am for Mckinley
lies with the President, not with me.
If General Alger knows that President
Mckinley is opposed to territorial expan-
sion, and is not an advocate of the murders
and the destruction being visited upon the
innocent FdIipinos, he has a right to say
that am for Mckinley.
II General Alger is Informed that Nc
hlnIey is opposed to trusts and to legis-
lat1on which fosters, creates and encour-
ages them, and in favor of legislation to
restrict and suppress them, then l am clos
er to the opinions of Mckinley than has
generally been believed
II Gen. Alger is assured that President
Mckinley is not in touch and sympathy
with the disreputable political methods Of
Mark Hanna and his friends, and depre-
Gates such leadership then L am for Nc
Kinley.
THE question of whether 1 favor Nc
Kinley is of no consequence in the sena-
torial matter, but I am for Mckinley in
everything he does which 1 consider right
and against everything he does which
consider wrong"

tanned what appeared to be fresh blood

ell or knife. The pencil is a blue one with
a paper covering
Mr.. Paris reported that his brother John
had found the articles on the Baltimore
pike. not far from College Park. He was
on his way to Laurel at the time, on horse
back and he threw the coat in a clump of
bushes near the road and took the knife
and pencil, which he will turn over to the
police later.
John Paris, who found the articles. saws
the ground bore evidence of a scuffle there,
and he thinks the finding of the coat and
other articles may lead to the DEVELOPMENT
OF a crime.
Inspector Boardman will notify the
authorities of Prince Georges county of the
report. in order that they may recover the
coat and make an investigation.

Resolutions, Of Appreciation for Mr..
Geo. ". Beavers.
A committee representing the National
Association of Post Office Clerks called at
the residence of Mt. George w. Beavers in
Brooklyn yesterday and presented him
with a Handsomely framed set of resoIu-
lions testifyffig the appreciation of the or
ganization for the warm interest he has al
ways shown in the advancement of any
and all measures calculated to improve
and benefit the post office clerks through
out the country.
These resolutions were adopted at the
regular meeting of the organization at
Detroit, Mich, last September Similar
resolutions were adopted at this meeting
Smith and First Assistant Postmaster Gem
eral Perry s. Heath. They We're the result
of the work these officials did to obtain
from Congress leaves of absence for most
office clerks and largely increased appro-
priations for clerk hire.
After the presentation of the resolutions
to Mr.. Beavers the committee was
royalty entertained by Mrs. Beavers
and her handsome home was thrawn
open for the enjoyment of the guests.
Mr.. Beavers responded feelingly to the
speech of presentation delivered by
Mr.. BENZ. Parkhurst of Washington. d q
and paid a high compliment to the deserv
Ing clerks employed in post offices. He told
briefly of the work incident to the COR
gressional action and said without the as
sistance of the, Postmaster General and
his first assistant little would have been
accomplished. They were the ones who de-
served the credit. He had merely acted ac
cording to directions
