Vixen, now at Norfolk repairing, is in
condition TO make the voyage TO Blue
fields. The Vixen is a much more vaiu-
able vessel in Nicaraguan waters. for the
reason that she can ply more easily along
the coast. The Vixen will leave On her
new assignment in about a week.

air. AlGcr's Rctirctneut.'-The re-
port that Secretary Alger was contemplate
ing an early retirement from the Cabinet is
not treated seriously in political circles. MIR.
Alger has held on so long when the con-
ditions were such as to lead everyone to
believe that he would resign. that moth
ing short of his actual resignation now
Will receive any consideration. The i'm
preston has gone abroad OF late that Algsr
is fixture in the Cabinet and there is
nothing at present in sight that is likely
to cut short his official existence at the
National Capital. The fact that MIR. Algsr
is a candidate for Senator McMilan's SEN
atoriai toga viii not, ii is pointed out by
his friends, prevent his serving out his
term as member of the Mckinley Cabi-
net. Senator McMillan's term will ex-
pire on I'D of March. 1901, at the same
time the present Administration will pass
into history II will not be necessary for
Mr. Alger to resign from the Cabinet in
order to make fight for the senatorship
and = can be stated upon the highest
authority that he has not the slightest
intention of doing SO. Recent events have
demonstrated that Mr.. Alger has got a
very strong pull with President Mckinley
and that nothing short of an earthquake
or political upheaval can dislodge him
Mckinley reigns supreme at the White
House. Mr.. Alger has shown that he is
absolutely Indifferent to public opinion;
that he cares little or nothing for the rep
utation or future success of the Mckinley
Administration He is willing, apparent
ly, that Mr.. Mckinley and the band of dis
interested patriots that surround the White
House should go down to destruction rather
than that he lAlger1 be compelled to take
one sip of the p.=of defeat. Patriots of
the Alger type have a habit OF looking
out for number one Mr.. Alger has with
stood pleadings. arguments, and threats
from the very highest sources, and there
is no indication that at this late day
he seriously conteInplates relieving Mr..
Mckinley of the embarrassment OF his
presence in the Cabinet. Mr.. Alger is un-
questionably a candidate for the Senate.
but it Is by no means certain that he
will not encounter serious opposition from
within the ranks of his own party. Sena-
tor Mcmillan has not abandoned the fight
by any means. according to his close
friends. He Is reputed to be richer man
than Alger, and can spend just as much
money as the latter to hold his position
in the Senate Senator McMillan's friends
are quite indignant that Mr.. Alger should
attempt to force him off the track. They
say that Mr.. Alger's assertion that Mr. Nc
MILAN had agreed to retire at the ex-
a reelection is wholly an invention of the
Secretary of War. and has no founda-
ton in fact 1t is safe to say that Mr..
Alger intends to stick by Mr.. Mckinley
throughout his Administration.

Mr.. Cummings on Mr.. Rced.-'I met
Tom Reed down in Florida few months
ago." said Representative Amos Cummings
yesterday. John E. Lamb, former ltop-
resentative from Indiana, was with me.
Lamb is one of the brightest and best
story tellers that | have ever met, and
never enjoyed an evening more than the
one in question. Reed talked, Lamb talked,
and 1 contributed my share TO the Honver-
sation. II l had had my wits about me
| would have recognized the fact that the
drift of Reeds talk pointed to his retire
ment from Congress. He discussed all Of
the current topics OF the day freely. Down

battleship Maine was blown up from the
inside; that Spain was in no way response
Bile for it, He is also opposed to any ac-
QUESTION of territory by this country.
The annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
was in direct opposition to his judgment,
and he sincerely thought it to be mistake.
He. however, recognized the fact that pub
lie sentiment was against him. and that
explains in my opinion his decision 20 re-
tire from public life. After | got back to
my hotel in Florida following my talk
with Reed ! fell to thinking over what he
had said. 1T means that he is going to
quit was the verdict l had reached when
Lamb came IN. He had formed the same
impression and frankly expressed it. We
both discussed the matter, however, and
reached the conclusion that we must be
mistaken; that it could not be possible
that Tom Reed actually had made up his
mind to resign from Congress. And yet
there was no other Interpretation to be
placed on Mr.. REEDS conversation. What

If had comprehended the real drift of
Mr.. Reeds talk. Mr.. Reed is opposed to
expansion in any direction. apparently.
He is not in sympathy with the public SEN
timent of the times. He may have some
faint idea of eventually reaching the
White House. but in my opinion his retire
ment marks the end of his political career
He will not be heard of again in all proba-
bility in the politics of the country"

 This latter statement he substantial ed by showing me the deposit record of a company cook in the Ninth United States infantry, in the Philippines, whose pay is S21.60 per month. and who has been depositing not less than $24 every month during his Philippine ser vice. He also showed me the entry of a single deposit of $1S,0O0. made by a private at West Point a few months since. and said that not long ago single deposit of S2300O was made.

MAKING ARTIFICIAL PALMS.

A comparatively new business is the making of artificial palms They are made so like the real article nowadays that when you are sitting under one of them it is difficult to tell whether you are in a conservatory or morgue, or in Cuba It is only when the leaves Of the make believe trees are subject ed to severe and continuous heat that the deception is made manifest. The strands then begin to sag and droop, and the binding of shavings, with which the stem of the tree is wrapped, is also apt to become a little the worse for wear, and to show that in it's case. at least. life is q mere pre- tense. So far the artificial palm has not made it's way to the hotel palm garden. but it is a familiar sight in the waiting rooms of dry goods stores and in barrooms- In the latter, of course, the counterfeit is rarely detected. The sham palms pass muster every time with the topers, some of whom. no doubt, could, with a small stretch of the imagination, see buzzard's flying over then.-New York Commercial Ad- vertiser.
