Washington, July 20-Secretary Alger
yesterday rendered to the president his
resignation OF the war portfolio. The
resignation will become effective Aug.
|, though ii was rendered lat the
pleasure of the president" Gossip has
begun already as to his successor. but
1t is entirely speculative, for. notwith-
standing the reports that Mr.. Alger
would not long continue at the head of
the war department. his actual resigna-
ton came suddenly and Unexpectedly.
Formal acceptance of the resignation
has not been made by the president. but
will be in Il letter to be written within
the next day on two. No official state
ment as to The cause of the resignation
was procurable either from the presi-
dent of from Secretary Alger. Nor was
the letter of resignation obtainable. For
the present, nothing will be known Off
cially concerning the severance Of the
official relations between the president
and his war minister. but later the oi!i
cial correspondence, doubtless, will be
given to the press.
The belief had prevailed in Washing
ton for some time that Secretary Alger
would resign from the cabinet, but the
date generally set for it was towards
the close of the year, after he had sub

then had been regarded as almost Il
fOregone conc Cluson in view of Mr.
AlSrr'S announcement about Il month
ago that he had concluded To enter into
competition for the vacancy in the
United states senate to be caused by the
expiration of the term of Senator Nc
MILAN, strong supporter of the ad-
ministration, and that he had enlisted
the support of Governor Pingree, to
whom had been attributed free criti-
csms of the policy supposed to b" cher
ished by the president towards ihe Fill
lpinOs. There have been many cXpla-
nations and deniaiS OF the facts in that
case. but in the end the impression was
conveyed that the result Of the Michi-
gan visit of the secretary had been to
change the relations between the pref
dent and himself to such a degree as
to render the connection of the two as
part of the same official family unde-
srabe.
1t was largely. as least. as Il result of
