PINGREE ON ALGER.
Says the Presidents Course Was Little
Less Than Coward1y."

DETROIT, July Ex-Governor Pingree
has made public signed statement
bearing upon the resignation of Secre-
tary Alger. The governor gives at
length what he says are the facts in the
case, stating that Secretary Alger had
repeatedly offered to resign, but that
the president refused to entertain the
idea. At the same time, he declares,
the president had arranged with Attor-
ney General Griggs to prevail on Vice
President Hobart to Intimate to the Sec
rotary of war that hi, resignation was
desired. The governor continues:
81 have no hesitation in saying that
the course pursued by the president in
this matter is little less than cowardly.
1t is, to say the least, very unmanly."
Regarding the conduct of the war de-
partment the governor says Secretary
Alger made but very few appointments
and pred1cts that 1T will be learned
''that the president himself has been
responsible for whatever mistakes have
been made in conducting the war;"

had to return home. He never fully
recovered from the attack Of heart dis
ease and was under the care of physi-
clans constantly.
For the last three days Mr.. Ingersoll
had not been feeling well, but nothing
serious was anticipated. He spent the
forenoon on the verandah at his home
and at 1890 o'clock he went upstairs.
On reaching the head of the stairs
Colonel Ingersoll turned into his wife's
room.
Death Came as He Desired 1t.
He seemed in good spirits then. After
talking for few minutes Colonel In
gersoll crossed the room and sat down
in rocking chair. He leaned his head
upon his hand which rested on the back
of the chair. Mrs. Ingersoll asked him
how he was feeling and he replied:
"Oh, better"
These were his last words. A second
after they were uttered he was dead.
The only sign noted by Mrs. Ingersoll
was that the whites of his eyes sud
denly showed. There was not even a
sigh or a groan as death came. Doctors
were hastily called, but their verdict
was that he had died instantly. Death
came to him as he had recently ex-
pressed desire it should.

ger and Bitterly Attacks
the President.

WASHINGTON, July %. The name of
the successor to General Alger as secre-
tary of war is likely to be announced
soon. The president has made his Sc
lection and it is understood that Elihu
Root of New York is his choice. The
question Of the appointment of sue
cessor to Mr.. Alger was the subject of
a conference at the White House be-
tween the president and Senator
Thomas G. Platt of New York, who
came over on late train. The confer
ence lasted about an hour and after
wards Mr.. Platt said that the president
has about decided upon the person to
whom he will tender the position and
that announcement of his name will be
made very soon.
Mr.. Plat Favored Green.
The senator was non-communicative
as to who the appointee probably will
be, saying that he did not feel at liberty
to talk of what passed at the confer
ence. The senator spoke to the presi-
dent of the fitness of General Francis
V. Greene for the war portfolio, whom
he said was his choice for the post, but
it is understood that General Greene is
not the presidents choice. A good I'M
derstanding, however, exists between
the president and the senator regarding
the secretaryship, notwithstanding that
General Greene was the senator's first
choice, as Senator Platt said in speaking
of the appointment: THAT we did not
disagree as to the man for the position. !"
