WANTS MR. ALGER DROPPED.
The New York Tribune. a Republican Paper, Urges President Mckinley to .sLet Go"
 of the secretary of War.

Washington, April 12.-An arraign- ment of Secretary Alger, Gen. Eagan and the war department in general is ontained in d two-column leader in the conservative republican and ad- ministration New York Tribune. It concludes with recommendation that the president let Gen. Alger go. Here is the windup:
 It is q bad business. ;sitiougn republicans are perfectly contid snt of the presidents rectitude of purpose. But whether justly or unjustly 1t is undeniable that many of the most clear headed republicans at the capital feel that Secretary Alger is largely responsible for ths situation created by this beef investisation It is felt by these party men that through ten Alger's influence, impelled by those in the department who control him the president in some sort has made himself tho champion of Eagnu bv the ill-considered m>i- gation of as righteous . sentence as Was ever delivered by a court rendering the whole pro- ceeding little better than a farce. Many prac- tical politicians feel and have of late often ex- pressed the conviction that the president should let go of Secretary Alger. Some re- pubicans no doubt admire the president for so doggedly uphoding his secretary under fire, but they are not numerous Few prominent republicans are found who now think he is acting wisely in doing so.

 ---The Ruling Made.
MORpHY CANNOT BE ExTRADITED YET.
Owing to Treaty Not Having Been Rati- lied by the Mexican Congress Alleged Embezzler Must Go Fr-e--No Reorgani- zstion of Volunteers in rhe Phiiippines- The Plague Appears in China.


 Washington, April 12. Justice Brad ley, has made ruling of considerable importance, particularly to United States attorneys and the Inspectors of the post office department, as it mate rially affects their methods Of detect ing crime. Justice Bradley in sub- stance holds that money sent in the mails to a department of the United States government for the purpose of detecting thief, cannot be used. un- der the statute of March 3, 1875, as the basis for an indictment; that the ownership of the money stolen must be an actual ownership. and not q qualified ownership, such as is afforded by the sending of money merely for the purpose of a decoy. The ruling was on motion to direct the jury to ac- quit in the case of Daniel U Scott, colored, formerly employed in the patent office. He was indicted for violation of the act of March 3, 1875. The customary means of detecting postal thieves is by decoy letters de- posted by inspectors and taken out by them for examination immediately after they have been handled by the suspected persons. In this case the inspectors addressed the decoy letters to the United States patent office. The judge held that the contents of the letter were not the property of the government The motion to &C., quit was granted.
