That Is the Tip Given Out By
His Friends.
SECRETARY ALGER WILL RESIGN
Burrows Says Michigan Will Only Sup
port an Administration Man-Ru-
mored Otis Will Go in Cabi-
net to Succeed Alger.

Washington, June 29-(special)-It was
General Wheeler would not be ordered to
the Philippines. This is coupled with the
explanation that the president does not
wish to expose the veteran to the hard
ships of the Philippine climate at this sea-
son of the year. The president feels that
, General Wheeler has borne his share of the
burden in his gallant work before Santiago
In this connection his friends here say
that now that he is relieved of further en-
barrassments he will make an active cam
paign for the governorship Of Alabama
While his friends seem confident of this,
General Wheeler has authorized no one to
speak for him in the matter.
AIger's Position Embarrassing
Secretary Ayers position In the cabinet
becomes hourly more embarrassing, and
while he reiterates his determination to
stay in the war department, his resignation
can be looked for at any time.
1t is an open secret that the president is
expecting him to resign, and it is being
freely stated in administration circles that
in case he does not voluntarily offer his
resignation the president will request 1t.
The secretary said this afternoon that he
saw no improperly in his continuing at his
present post and in this he seems perfectly
sincere.
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, is in the
city, and while he says he is here on routine
business there is no doubt that he is here
in behalf of Mcmillan to protest against
General Algers continuance in the. cabinet.
Senator Burrows was among the presi-
dents callers. Much interest attached to
his visit. Upon leaving the white house
Senator Burrows said the Michigan situa-
tion had not been mentioned. you can
say, however" said ne, that Michigan is
undeniably for the administration, and that
any man who is opposed to the administra
tion, directly or indirectly, will go down in
the state.''
In published interviews Senator Burrows
criticises the secretary severely. and asserts
that whatever General Alger may be in
Washington. he is an anti-admnistration
man in Michigan.
Otis May Succeed AIger
Harrison Gray Otis, brigadier general of
volunteers and editor of the Los Angeles
Times, is coming here to talk to the presi-
dent with regard to the Philippines. That
much is acknowledged at the white house.
But there is a report that he may become
secretary of war if Alger resigns, as it is
expected at the white house that he will
do. Friends of the president today talked
very strong ON the subject of Alger's
manning in the cabinet. Some of them ex-
pressed the opinion that in common de-
cency to the president. since his allegiance
with Pingree, which puts both Michigan
senators against him, he ought to get out.
Some of them suggested that he is not act
ing as a friend of the administration, al
though his professions on that score are as
strong as could be desired.

Seminary, at Louisville, to succeed DR..

Mullins was unanimous.
The trustees of the seminary met at 10
O'Clock this morning In the vestry of the
Second Baptist church. The president OF
the board, Joshua Leyering, of Baltimore,
called the meeting to order, and the roll
call by the secretary, Rev. NJ. D. Jeffries,
of Knoxville, showed that thirty-six trust
ees were present
The trustees spent the time from 10 until
nearly o'clock in discussing the interests
of the institution, and it was not until
nearly the latter hour that the election was
held. The meeting was in executive ses-
sion, but it was announced that the elec-
tion had been unanimous.
Mr.. Leverng sent a telegram to DR..
Mullins notifying him of his unanimous
election, and this was followed by a mes
sage of congratuation from Ex-Governor

has not yet been received. Although pas

since opposed the presidents policy,
particularly naming Senator Hoar. He
does not say that there would have
the Filipinos would not have had so
much time for preparation, and could
not have made SO strong a resistance.
The weak spot in Mr.. Barrett's gen.
orally excellent article is his absolute
failure to advance anything whatever
in favor of Mr.. McKinley's policy ex-
cept that the islands are rich and we
want them. If Senator Hoar and those
who think with him are to be held re-
sponsible in this case and such a prin-
ciple could be established, it would not
only strangle discussion by the people
at large, but it would operate as
gag in the senate. No matter what
kind of treaty the president might
choose to negotiate, the senate must
ratify promptly and without debate,
under the threat of being held respon-
sible for some war that might ensue.
Under such circumstances it is safe
to say that the American people would
soon become less fit for self-govern-
ment than Mr. Barrett has described
the Filipinos as being, and that the
republic itself would be of short dura-

dent would be excepted rather by force
of circumstances than by strict social
right. for other things being equal, a
sultan outranks a president any day in
the week
If the sultan can be induced to come,
we would advise him not to bring his
entire harem. Let him take the pick of
the lot, say forty or fifty wives, which
really ought to be sufficient for any
man travelling through a foreign coun-
try-we beg pardon, this is the sultan's
own country. the land of the free and
the home of the brave Sulus. If he
finds that forty or fifty are a paucity,
he might pick up a few dozen more
here and there en- route from San Fran
cisco to Washington and back again.
He would be the finest kind of catch;
a prize to which American girls here
tofore have not enjoyed the possibility
of access. In the primitive times be-
fore we branched out into Imperialism,
our girls rarely looked higher than
English earls. A few were so fortunate
as to seize upon dukes, and a still
smaller number reached as high as
Italian and Russian princes. To catch
onto real sultan, particularly sultan
who is a countryman of theirs, and a
marriage to whom will therefore in
volve no expatriation, American girls
should be willing to give their right
arms. Patriotic American girls, all
those in whom deep love of country is
implanted, will be quick to appreciate
the new order of things.
In the friendliest spirit possible, we
would advise the sultan, however not
to go counting in the southern states.
There are dull, ignorant people down
there who object to any man marrying
their daughters in wholesale lots, and
who on the merest suspicion that GER
tain Mormon elders We're contemplating
such a step have hurriedly offered
them over-ripe eggs and other indigni-
ties. 1t is to be feared that these south
erners are no respecters of persons in
this matter, and would treat the sacred
person of the sultan to tar, feathers and
horsewhips.

of course, we shall commit the usual
folly of presenting our men in compar-
atively close order and attempting to
rush these positions"

to be done, this Englishman said:

Langs Neck. Ingogo and Majuba
Hill, however, are names that awaken
such sad memories in the Englishman's
mind that General Sir Frederick Will
lam Forester Walker, who has lately
been appointed to the chief command
in South Africa, in place of General
Sir William Butler, is not likely to run
any risk of a repetition. He has had
considerable experience in South At
rican warfare, and may be trusted to
be better prepared for the business he
may have to take in hand than was
DR.. Jameson. At the outset of his ia
nous ride he boasted that "his 500
troopers and Maxims would kick 10,-
600 burghers round the Transvaal."
However, DR.. "Jim,'' being entirely
ignorant of Boer tactics and of their
fear of any flanking movement, march
ed at Krugersdorp straight at the rifles
pointed at his men. After several
hours firing from the Maxims only
two or three of the sheltered Beers were
to say after this, their first experience
of the new destructive weapon, DE
Maxim is niets waarde" (the Maxim
is no good. However, as has already
been said, General Forester-Walker
may be expected to know better than
DR.. Jim"
On his side, the Boer commander-in-
chief, General Joubert, is an old war
horse, and there is no doubt that If he
has to fight he will do so to the best
of his ability. In recent letter to the
Standard and Diggers' News "Old
Piety," as he is affectionately called by
the burghers, said: Let us not glor-
ify weapons :" the horrible mur-
der weapons the undesirable invention
of sinful people. My enemies, whoever
they are, boast of their might and
murderous weapons. regret to have
to be prepared"
Prepared he undoubtedly will be-
though not to the extent of a plan of
campaign such as was imagined by a
burgher whose warlike appetite had
got the better of his dscernment. The
story is told by Mr.. Fuller, a well
known South African. The burgher in
question said to him that in case of
war the Beers would capture Cape
Town and then take England.
But" said Mr.. Fuller, ''it is a long
way to England by sea, and you have
no ships"
What of that? Cannot the Lord
make a passage for us as he did for
the Israelites across the Red sea?"
