IN A HURRY.
Alger Will Turn Over His Office
Next Monday.

Washington, July 2O-Secretary A1ger
will turn the war department over to
Assistant Secretary AGeiklejohn on Mon
day next, having received a telegram
from the latter at New London, Wis,
stating that he would arrive in Wash
irfgton on Saturday night.
He called upon President Mckinley
at the White House this morning short
ly before noon and was with him for a
few minutes. When he left he appeared
to be in excellent spirits. His face was
Wreathed with smiles as he expressed
to several newspaper men who gathered
about him his appreciation of their good
wishes.
You feel relieved of a great burden?'
one of them suggested.
Yes, 1 do" replied the secretary.
Hereafter I will only have my own
burden to carry"
The secretary said that he would re-
linquish his portfolio as soon as the
pending routine matters of the depart
ment were cleared up and Assistant
Secretary MeiklejOhn to whom the war
office is to be turned over, pending the
appointment of General Alger'S success
SOr is ready to assume charge. Assist
ant Secretary Meiklejohn wired this
morning that he would be back Satur-
day Il shall retire before August l. -
said the secretary.
General Alger said he would go back
to Michigan and for the present at least
devote his attention to his health. The
secretary said he knew nothing about
his successor. Asked as to whether he
would press his senatorial candidacy
the secretary replied: 4 cannot tell
now
Postmaster General Smith saw the
president today. AS he left the White
House he gave an emphatic denial to
the suggestion of his possible transfer
to the war Office. Z have troubles
enough of my own,' he said smiling.
Secretary Alger was an hour late in
reaching his Office this morning. He
spent that hour in going over his pri-
Vate correspondence at his residence.
There were more than the usual mum Der
of kilograms. Every member of the sec
retarys family outside of Washington
wired approval of his action of yester-
did not exhibit any of the others, there
is reason to believe they included mes
sages from some persons very prOmin-
ent in political life.
When Secretary Alger arrived at his
Office, he entered Immediately into con-
ference with Adjutant General Corbin
and Major Hopkins. Senator Fair
banks also called. He was taken into
the private Office and half an hour was
spent in conference.
During the morning Major Pruden,
assistant private secretary to the pres
ident called at the department to see
the secretary and the impression pre-
vailed that he had brought with him the
presidents letter of acceptance of Sec
retary Alger'S resignation. This turned
out to be error and up to noon at
which hour the secretary left the de
partment for his home, the presidents
letter had not been received.

TAKEN TO ALMA.
Johnson Jordan Objects to Co.
ing For Fear of Lynching.

JuhnsOn Jordan and James Render,
alias Denver Kid We're taken to
Alma this morning at 1O:4O by Sheriff
Cook and Sheriff Treu of Alma to have
their preliminary hearing for the mur-
der Of Harry Tandy and an unknown
man at Mcfarland June %. Dick Will
liams, who is also suspected of the
crime, is in the Alma jail.
When Sheriff Cook told the prisoners
they were to be taken to Alma for their
preliminary hearing they were badly
frightened. Both of them fear mob
violence.
You need not be- afraid" said
Sheriff Cook, L hold Sheriff Treu re-
sponsible for your safety
Yes" said Sheriff Treu, there is no
danger. I am accountable to Sheriff
Cook for your safe return
I don't see that holding you re-
spOnsible will do a dead man any good -
said Johnson Jordan as he held out his
hands ready to be handcuffed.
You have my word said the sheriff
Words don't do any good after it is
too late" said the prisoner as the hand
cuffs clicked together.
I wouldn't put these on you if YOU
were not scared said the sheriff.
well, they don't look very good -
said the prisoner as he glanced at his
manacled hands.
Render said nothing. He was badly
frightened and both he and Jordan
looked furtively around on their way
to the train They were nervous but
Jordan tried to laugh and be at ease
Neither of the sheriffs fear trouble and
both the prisoners will be returned to
the Shawnee county jail today.

set about to persuade their fellow work
men to leave their cars, and with sufh-

officials of the various lines that their
cars are running on schedule time Cen
eral Master Workman Parsons issued
statement today in which he declared
that the strike was practically won. He
said that ], 500 men were out and more
were going out hourly. He denounced
as untrue the statement of President
Vreeland of the Metropolitan Street

had no objection to its employees be-
longing to any organization and de-
clared that men who had been for years
in the company's employ have been dis

Mr. Bryan was present in the meet
ing as a proxy for D. J. Campau of De-

Dakota. Ex-Gov. Altgeld, who held the
proxy of Committeeman White of

There was so much opposition among
members of the committee to assuming
control of the meeting that the Altgeld
people, who were in the first place very
far from being a unit on the proposition
to surrender the control of the meeting
finally concluded not to make the ten

In Honor of Admiral DeWey's
Arrival at Trieste.
Austrian Newspapers Extend a
Hearty Welcome.
HEALTH is PERFECT.
He Will Remain Two Weeks In
Port
During Which Time He VIII
Visit Vienna.

Trieste. Austria, July 2O.-The United
States cruiser Olympia with Admiral
Dewey on board, arrived here this
morning. The principal paper, Il Pic
olo. has a fiattering article welcoming
the admiral to Austria.
Admiral Dewey's secretary said to the
Associated Press correspondent here
that the passage of the Olympia from
Port Said was a pleasant one. The
Olympia will remain here about two
weeks.
Admiral Dewey's health is perfect. He
has not decided whether he will go to
Carlsbad, as had been announced. but it
is not probable that he will do so. The
admiral intends to visit Vienna.
Upon her arrival here the Olympia
fired a salute of 21 guns which was re-
turned from the forts of the AustrianS
and one Greek Warship. Subsequently,
Admiral Dewey received visits from the
port authorities, the United States min
lister to Austria, Mr.. Addison Harris son
and the staff of the legation and the
consuls of the United States in Austria
The foreign consuls were received byT
Admiral Dewey on board the Olympia
during the forenoon.
The Olympia had a bad run to Alden
against a monsoon, but from that point
on, the weather was fine. Admiral
Dewey expects to remain on board his
flagship with the exception of OccaS-
iOnal trips on shore.
The Americans here find the weather
cool and refreshing although the ther-'
mOmeter indicated sc degrees on shore
Most of the chief government officials
are absent on leave. The British con-
sui, Mr.. Churchill was the first caller
on Admiral Dewey and was saluted in
the most cordial manner.

ACCEPTED.
Gen. Alger Gets a Letter From
the President.

Washington, July 2O.-Seeretary AL
ger has received from the president
letter accepting his resignation to take
effect August 1. The letter was brought
to the war department by Mr.. Cortel-
you, acting secretary for the president.
The secretary did not make it's terms
public but read it to a few Intimate
friends.
The most absorbing and generally
discussed topic here today was the
choice of a successor to Secretary AL
ger Many names were mentioned in
the speculation, but it can be stated
with authority that as yet the president
has made no selection Both Secretary
Long and Postmaster General Smith,
who were with the president for a short
time expressed the belief that no MEM
Der oe the cabinet would care to be
shifted to the war department
Among the many names most prom
inently mentioned was that of General
Horace Porter, ambassador to France.
Senator ThurstOn of Nebraska, called
at the White House during the day and
urged the promotion of Assistant Sec
retary Meiklejohn. Nearly every gen
eral who figured in the recent war has
been mentioned as possibility.
That of General James H. Wilson be-
ing about the most prominent in this
class.
A strong belief expressed in certain
circles is that the successor of Mr.. Alger
will come from New York. In this con
nection the name of Mr.. Elihu Root has
been suggested. A high administration
official said today that the next secre-
a lawyer as well. The authority for this
statement was in consultation with the
president today and he stated that while
it may not be said yet that the selection
has been finally passed upon, New York
without representation, has the strong
est claim for recognition.
