This was the preliminary salutation that
led to bargain for the colonels convex

short order and bade the boy drive to the
caoitol.
When the border of the capitol grounds
was reached, the darkey pulled rein on
his mule. Mister / can't go in dar,"
said he, mindful of the stringent rules
against heavy vehicles entering the

And the coal cart drove on, right UP to

immense drift by the porte cOchere, and
Colonel Marsh stepped smartly down over
the tailboard and passed along the stately
entrance, to his committee room.

ALGER IS PLANNING 4 SNEAK
SECRET DEPARTURE FROM THE
UNITED STATES.
Secretary Proposes to Start On West
Indian Cruise Before the News
papers Find It Out.

| New York, March 1S.-The Tribune
says: 1t is asserted here by persons
who, it is believed, are in a position to
have correct information, that General
Alger, secretary of war, is planning to
start on his tour of inspection of Cuba
| and Porto Rico next week. Arrange
have the transport ingalls, at Savannah
by next Wednesday and Secretary AL
ger will start from that port.
Every detail of the proposed trip has
been zealously guarded and all the Off
Gals connected with the army depart
ment have been enjoined to secrecy. 1t
has been the secretary's intention to
leave Washington quietly and to go on
the trip before the public should learn
of it For this reason Savannah was
chosen, instead of New York, as the
port from which to sail.
Secretary Alger first planned to take
this trip of inspection to Cuba and
Porto Rico in the latter part Of Janu-
airy, and orders had been given to the
transport officials to hold the Meade in
readiness for the secretary and his
party for the first week in February
Then Secretary Alger decided that the
transport needed to be repaired and
the trip was postponed until March s.
Then the Meade went to the Erie ba-
sin to be refitted for the secretary.
Some of the newspapers ridiculed the
proposed "junket," as they called it,
and continued to make so much fun
of the expedition that it is said the
secretary became sensitive about it.
When the time came to go, congress
was considering the army bill, and the
secretary intimated that it would be
impossible for him to leave Washing
ton at that time, and it was reported
that the trip of inspection to Cuba had
been given up indefinitely. But it is
now declared that the secretary has
been planning to carry out his inten-
ton for some weeks.
Because of the publicity given to the
plans for the former trip, and the an
noyance which it caused General AL
ger, he resolved, if possible, to carry
out his intention and get safely away
before it should be learned he was
going.
The ingalls, was formerly in the
service Of the Louisiana Lottery COM
pany when that concern was driven
out of New Orleans and had to go to
British Honduras. The steamer carried
the lottery company's business from
Honduras to New Orleans. She is
easily able to make sixteen knots an
hour, is about 225 feet long, but has a
NARROW benin.
