WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, JUNE 10TH, 1899.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, JUNE 10TH. 1899.
While War Department officials will
not admit as much publicly, it is an
open secret in Washington, that they
are making preparations to carry out an
expected order from the President to
enlist considerable body Of volunteers,
to be sent to the Philippines, if they
should be asked for by Gen. Otis.
In these days when so many men are
ready in their mad race for wealth to
sacrifice almost everything for money,
that man who places duty before money
is a public benefactor, whose good in
fuence upon the youth of the country
is incalculable. Such man is Gen.
Leonard Wood, Military Governor Of
Santiago and formerly commander Of
the Rough Riders. Gen. Wood, who is
at present in Washington to see his wife
and to confer with the War Depart
ment, must have been sorelY tempted
when the Washington Street Railway
and Electrict Light Syndicate offered
him $4,000 year to resign from the
army and become its President; his sal
airy as q Brigadier General of Volun-
teers, the rank he now holds, is onlyS5,
500. But if so, he put the temptation
behind him and announced his inten-
ton to return to his duties at Santiago,
and to remain in the army as long as
his services were required. That an
nouncement is all the more praise
worthy, for having been made after the
yellow fever was reported to haye brok.
en- out at Santiago. 1t is men of this
stamp who prove that money worship
has not succeeded in driving out Grue
patriotism from the first position in the
esteem of the people.
The political wise.acres are saying
that Secretary Alger's retirement from
the Cabinet at an early day has been
made a certainty by the formal an
nouncement of the alliance between
himself and Gov. Pingree for the pur-
pose of attempting to put Secretary
Alger into the seat now held by Sena-
tor Mcmillan; they say that if Secre-
tary Alger does not voluntarily resign
the President will be forced to ask fol
his resignation by political influence
that can be welded by Senators
Mcmillan and Burrows. Secretary
Alger has returned to Washington, bal
he ism saying a word on this subject
The President will find himself III

rather an embarrassing position should
Secretary Alger not voluntarily resign
before he begins an active campaign Tor
the Senatorship, as Senator Mcmillan
is one of his warmest personal friends.
In tact, the Presidents position is bound
to be more or less embarrassing anyway.
That he is warm friend Of Secretary
AIger has been fully proven by his
standing by him through all the criti-
cism of his management of the War De.
partment, and keeping him in his Cab
met against the ADVICE and protest of
many leaders of his party. 1t will not
be an easy matter for him to maintain
a strict neutrality in such contest, no
matter whether Secretary Alger re-
mains in the Cabinet or goes out. Ow.
ing to the war in the Philippines and
the Military control of Cuba and Porto
Rico, the War Department has more
favors to distribute than all the rest OF
the departments put together and Sec.
rotary Alger would be more than hui
man if he did not throw some OF those
favors where they would advance his
candidacy, if allowed by the President
to do so.
Stories of ex Speaker Reed are always

ing in Washington, and the following
was known to be substantially correct
by at least two of the group to which it
was told in Washington hotel. Mr..
Reed said the story teller, has had his
mind bent upon retiring from Congress
for several years. This was known to
some of his Western friends as far back
as the fall of 90, and they tried to per.
suade HIM to locate In st. Louis. Con.
gresham Chas. F. Joy, CT St. Louisiana
other prominent men of that city, tried
to induce him to locate in the Missouri
metropolis by promising him a certain
income Of $4,000, through association
with one of the best legal firms in the
state, and their support of him, at the
proper time, as the Western candidate
for the Presidential nomination Of his
party. Mr.. Reed heard everything
they had to say, but declined the offer,
because he said it was too late in life
for him to think Of migrating from the
East. Another one of the group said:
"Mr. Reed would probably have been
located in New York sometime ago, had
his friend, Austin Corbin, the Railway
and Corporation millionaire, lived. 1t
was well.known to few persons that
Mr.. Corbin mad almost persuaded Mr..
Reed to retire from public life and to
become the attorney for all the corpor-
atoms he controlled, when he died. IL
going to New York to accept guaran-
teed income of $4,000 per annum, for
stated period, Mr.. Reed gives up all
hope of reaching the Presdency.which
was for many years the COLE Of his am
btion. Fate willed that the high honor
should not come his way, and he is too
broad Intellectually to fret. Besides,
he has been accorded about as much
homage as eyer falls to the lot of any
man, in that he is by common consent
regarded as one of the ablest as we'll as
one of the most upright OF American
statesmen"

Men do not like to 90 to doctors Nine
times out Of ten they wait until they are
laid fat on their backs before they will
consult physician There is some reason
in this, for when business man feels out
of sorts and goes 10 physician, he is often
given violent drugs that make him, for a
time, unfit for business and really sick.
There is way of avoiding both extremes
that of neglecting the health and that Of
taking violent drugs that rack the entire
