MIR. ALGfIR is DEFIANT,

A Washington dispatch to the II d1fd
says: Secretary Alger will not leave
the cabinet unless the President makes
direct request for his resignation. He
will not resign of his own motion in de-
ference to the almost unanimous opinion
of the country that he is not fitted to
hold the important post of Secretary cf
War, and he will not relieve the Presi-
dent of his presence at the cabinet table
by accepting the French embassy If the
President is determined to get rid of him
he must take the responsibility of turnin g
him out
THE Secretary has received an intima-
ton through political friends of the adj
ministration that the President would be
pleased to have him accept the French
embassy, but he has spurned the offer.
He has adopted the attitude of defiance,
and he will force the President to carry
him along until the end of his admins
tratiOn, regardless of the effect on the
political campaign of 1900, or to split with
him openly
This is made clear by dispatch sent
from Washin gton Tuesday to the Detroit
Journal, newspaper which is known to
have the Secretary's complete confidence
and which is generally regarded as his
personal organ. This dispatch is as fol
lows:
"1f Secretary Alger retires from the
cabinet before March, 1901, there will be
no subterfuge or makeshift about it. He
Will not retire to go to Paris, will not re-
tire on account of ill health or for perso-
nal political reasons. Should he retire,
it would only be after the President makes
direct and unqualified request.
The Secretary has had no exp1 cssion
from the President as to the desirability
OF his remaining in the cabinet He does
not know that the President has changed.
If the President should change he must
SO declare and announce himself. He
must assume full responsibility. 1t. is
not case where there can be any pre-
tense. This is Secretary Ayers posi-
ton
president Mckinley is very averse to
having an open quarrel in his official
household, and, rather than do so, he may
allow Alger to remain until the end of the
administration. He has been subjected
to very strong pressure, however, from
many of his most trusted political advisers
to get Mr.. Alger out of the cabinet at any
cost before the beginning of the next
campaign. He has not yet gone further
than to allow it to be intmated to the
Secretary that he would like to have him
accept foreign appointment.
st is by no means certain that the de-
llant attitude of the Secretary will lead
him to go no further, though it is hardly
possible that there can hereafter be that
cordiality and mutual confidence between
the two men which should prevail between
the President and his Secretary of War"

ENOUGH FOR THE PRESENT
NEEDS.

\ conference held at the White
House Wednesday between the Presi-
dent, Secretary Alger, Secretary
Long and Adjutant- General Coz bin re-

TO PAY SPAIN IN GOLD.

Some commotion was caused in Wall
street Monday by the rumor that Secre-
tary Gage intended to call part of the
sec, 0oO, 900 indemnity to Spain from the
Government repositories where there are
now $50, 569, 1.352 of Government funds, and
bankers sent requests to the Secretary to
adhere to his original plan of drawing the
money out of the Sub-Treasury.
A telegram from Washington late in
the afternoon relieved the fears of the
ing would be done to disturb the tinan-
cial equilibrium.
When Secretary Gage is ready to pay
the indemnity to S, ain he will hand to
the accredited representative of the Spanish
Government "A draft on the Sub Treasury
at New York, and if SPANS agent so elect
he may draw the $40, 0O0, 900 in gold eagles
and half eagles, and send it by steamship
to Madrid
This would necessitate an outlay of at
least 800, 900 for insurance and expressage
which the Spanish agent could avoid by
buying exchange on London, which was
on Monday quoted at So, or about per
cent below par. If the Spanish agent
could get such rates he could make
profit of about 5000, 900.
1t is said in Wall street that the Stand
ard Oil Company will form IA syndicate
through its National City Bank to
finance the transaction. That is it will
accumulate $20.000,000 of sterling ex-
change and force the rate very close to
par, at which terms it will do business
with the agent of Spain.
By the curious processes of exchange
laws, If the Spanish agent buys exchange
it will be equivalent to an importation of
$50, 900 in gold.

OUTCOME OF THE WHEAT
CROP,

The leading topic in commercial circles
at the present time, says the Kansas CITY
Times, is the condition the winter wheat
crop, and every scrap of information OBJ
tainabie is eagerly sought. The consensus
of opinion appears to be that the crop has
been damaged, but to what extext is where
the statsticlans fail to arrive at conclu-
sions to the satisfaction of those most in
tcrested. There are bulls and there are
bears in the speculative market, and which
ever way the reports in regard to the grow
ing crop can be construed to suit their side
of the market it is done with a relish
Kansas wheat crop undoubtedly has been
damaged considerably, but even in that
State reports are colored to suit the de
slreS Of those from whom they emanatc.

POLITICS IN BALTIMORE.

One of the most interesting polite;
contests of recent years is now being
wagcd in Baltimore. The great issue
is better municipal government, and
all classes of citizens are evidently
striving to attain this end. High taxes
and unsatisfactory management Of the
city government have provoked the
uprising Of the people. and, unless all
signs fail, Mr.. Hayes will lie trium-
phantly elected as the next Mayor OF
Baltimore.
