II KINLEI SUBMITS
 DANGER IN IT
Does Not Look With Favor on
 AIgar-Pingree Alliance
WILL HURT ADMINISTRATION
And it is Not So Sure But That the Mich igan Governor Has Presidential Aspirations Although AL
 ger Denies It.

Washington, June 29-(Special.) l.)-The president is beginning to see in the Alger- PingFee alliance an element of danger to his own administration. The essential in- tesest in the Pingree anti-administration outburst, so far as the secretary of war and the president are concerned, reaches the question of whether Governor Pingree is a candidate for the presidency.
 It Is reported here to those who have the means of getting inside news from Michi- gan that Pingree wants the republican dele gation for himself in the 19OO convention, and that he will make a serious bid for the presidential nomination in 1904 Secretary Alger and Pingree have recently become allies for the sake of defeating Senator MeMillan. If it be true, reported here from Michigan, that Pingree will use this senatorial fight as means of getting the next delegation for himself, Secretary Al ger will be placed in the attitude of work ing against the interests of his chief. Pin gree in Michigan is worth more than all other of Algers friends and if Pinsree is to help Alger then he (Pingree) will certain ly demand that Alger help him.
 Secretary Alger has authorized the de- nial that Governor Pingree has presidential dSpiidIlOuSp anu lIldI IL HdS never eHleIGd his head to seek the delegation from Mich igan in his behalf. But this statement does not satisfy the presidents friends, who say that with PingTee as a partner in politics Secretary Alger must be forced to retire, or the former must declare himself in favor of Mckinley for another term.
 It is well known here that the secretary of war does not want to give up his port folio in the cabinet, and has so informed the president. He cannot denounce Cover nor Pingree for his anti-administration ut terances for that would lose him the form CTS support in his race against McMillan. Without doing this he will be practically endorsing them, considering the close ties that now bind them The secretary of war is in a very uncomfortable position in rela- ton to his chief, but whether the latter will add to his discomforture to such an extent that Secretary Alger will be forced to retire is doubtful. The president cannot stand great deal before forcing matters to open hostility. The enemies of Secretary Alger are taking advantage of the situa> tion to do him all the harm they can, and if possible to bring about a rupture between the secretary and the president

A ' ,s mortem examination Of the body was held yesterday afternoon by the physicians to develop the cause of death and it was found that cancer had stopped the func- tions of the liver. The deceased had been i'll for two years, and was unable to ob- tain relief on account of failure to diag- nose exactly the disease.
 A drummer, giving his name as Charles Smithfield and later c. " Hedon, was in Florence on Monday, and after tanking up on mean whisky started to Tuseumbia in a ''drummers wagon belonging to the Florence Livery and Transfer company.
 In the wagon the drummer had a large box of erockery packed in straw About half way between Florence and Sheffield he threw cigar end in the straw, setting fire to the box and the wagon, and dam aging both considerably. Later he got into several fights in Tuscumbia, and after be- ing landed in jail cut to pieces the mat tresses in his cell, smashed the furniture and attempted to set fire to the calaboose. He was finally released after sobering up some, but his fun cost him $29.25. The Tuscumbia police force had quite an ex- citing time before the drummer was got out Of town. When arrested he had S9315 on his person, but after paying his fine he rode out of Tuseumbia on the front end of baggage car.
