NOT RID OF ALGERIShl.
Until Mckinley Goes the Country
VIII Not lie Freed from Rot
ten Administration.

Yielding TO pressure, Alger has at
last resigned. He is said TO feel ca
tremely bitter over his practical eject
ment from Office, and he has right
so TO feel: for Ayers senatorial aspira-
ton is a mighty thin pretext for his re
moval by an administration which APP
proved and stood by the embalmed
beef. the death camps, and, in short
went the whole dance, so far as the con
duct Of the war was concerned.
President Mckinley stood by Alger
when to have removed him would have
been popular. He now removes him
or forces his resignation-under condi-
tons which make Ager something OF a
MARTYR. and are well calculated to
create Sympathy with the Michigan
man at the administration expense
For be II understood land this every
administration organ has admitted over
and over @rain). Mr.. Ayers conduct
Of the war department had President
Mckinley's mistaken confidence and
support. So long as he could be count
ed upon for the second term. his resig-
nation was not asked for. and not dc
sired This enforced resignation comes
too late to relieve President Mckinley
from responsibility for the rotten beef,
the rotten transports. the suffering and
death of hundreds of soldiers VINO never
saw Cuban soil.

ALGERISM is GONE.
Retirement of the Embrimcd secre-
tary of War Encour-
nges Hope.

Gov. Pingree OF Michigan makes an
impassioned defense Of Alger. lie says
that il will be learned ";hat the presi-
dent himself has been responsible for
whatever mistakes have been made in
conducting the war. and adds: Il am
told on the very best authority that
Gen. Alger made very few appoint
mcnts OF officers during the war. and
that the commissions were issued al
most entirely upon the orders of the
president"
The country takes very little stockin

the Diamond match and paper trusts.
OF course. if Algerism was nothing
but Mckinleyism. and If he retirement
OF Alger does not involve any change
in the methods Of the war department.
the criticisms that have been directed
against the secretary of war will be
aimed hereafter at the president.
The people have regarded the dis
appearance of Alger as the first step
in a radical reform of the abuses that
have disgraced and crippled our mill
tary service. They have expected to
see it followed by the appointment Of
a new general in the Philippines, by
n thorough shake-up in the rotten staff
bureaus at Washington. and by the
substitution of honest military meth
DDS for political favoritism. They ex-
pect. for instance. TO see an immedi-
ate end of the dragging Garter scandal.
OF course il nothing of this sort is
meant. and IL Alger has had to go. not
because he disgraced and demoralized
the army. but because he became a
candidate for the senate against n
friend OF the president the public will
take no interest in his departure.
But until il has proof to the contrary
the Journal will continue TO believe that
the change really means reform. The
selection of Ayers successor encour-
ages il in this hope. That Mr.. Root is
corporation lawyer is merely a neces-
sary qualification for service under a
corporation administration. The only
question with which we have to con-
Germ ourselves is whether he is good
man of his kind, and that he certainly
is. lie ia no soldier. but he is so in
lnitely superior 10 Algcr that we have
right TO expect him to institute rcvo-
luton in the conduct Of his department

General Roget then rose to reply to

caught a tartar. he did not succeed
in shaking the witness testimony. while
N. de Fond Lamotte took the unprece-

Roget, and getting the better of him
once or twice.
The two men stood exchanging heated

Jouaust, who was twice obliged to ask

of his application" This answer
brought chorus of "ohs' from the au-

Roget then said that Dreyfus might
have asked verbally. in which case no

BID FOR. HAWAII SUGAR
Made by Promoters Of the City Of
Columbia Line.
Capt. ChilCott Talks Of Suspension On Account
Of Lack Of Business Northern
Pacific Liners.

Tacoma, December %. -
"Barneson & Chilcott have made
a bid for the transportation of
10000 tons of sugar from the Ha-
waiian islands to New York by
way of Puget Sound, and posi-.
bly, by way Of the port of Tacoma
and the Northern Pacific"
So said Richard Chilcott, of the
firm of Barneson e. Chilcott, Puget
Sound stevedores and shipping
men, and manager of the Puget
Sound Hawaiian steamer line in
which the Centennial and the City
of Columbia we're placed several
weeks ago. He returned from the
East last week and was in Tacoma
yesterday.
"Should we get the contract"
continued Mr.. Chilcott, 1--WE shall
bring the sugar to the Sound in
sailing vessels. l have today
been speaking with the Northern
Pacific people in regard to having
sidings put in at their wharf.
"The prospective freight is to
be moved this season, and the
first cargo, should we get the con.
tract, will start to move about the
first of the year.
"This movement by way of
Puget Sound would give the
Northern transcontinental roads
hundreds of cars of freight, but it
seems some of them are not anxi.
Gus for the business. 1t seems
they have all the traffic east. bound
they can handle. Lumber and
shingles are the chief commodi-
ties.
"We have practically withdrawn
our steamers from the Hawaiian
Sound trade. The traffic is not
heavy enough for us to maintain
the line. If anyone can make
success of it, it must be some one
with unlimited capital, some of
the big s-Pacific lines, like
the Northern Pacific Steamship
Company. Could that line drop
in at Hawaiian ports on the way
to and from the Orient, 1t would
probably make a success of the
Hawaiian Northws stern trade.
"There's no use to talk about
sugar refinery for a help to the
trade. The trust will soon con-
troll it.
"That story printed in a Seattle
paper as coming from me and say
ing the North German LLOYD
we're soon to be in operation in
this region is without foundation.
l said nothing of the kind. The
story was manufactured"

eral of Customs, has filed an an
swer to the alternative writ of

to the ship Star of France. Among
other reasons for declining to re-

one:
THAT since the 18th day of
August, 1898, he has possessed no
power or authority to register any

that the laws of the Republic of

PACIFIC TRANSPORT FLEET.

Washington, December %. AS
soon as the emergency fund of
100000, which is carried by the
deficiency bill, is available, the
first step of the war administra-
ton will be to add to the fleet of
transports in the Pacific ocean and
to make such alterations in those
now under it's control that there
may be no further hiring of Brit
ish ships for carrying supplies
and holding them. ibis is the
prime purpose of the fund, and as
soon as it is in hand it is expected
there will be at least three ships
added to the Pacific fleet and re-
frigerating plants placed in most
of these and the ones now owned.
