WASHINGTON, July 2O.-No definite
information was obtainable tonight as
to the presidents selection for a success
sor to Gen. Russell A. Alger as secre-
tary of war. This may be due to the
fact that a tender of the office is I'M
der consideration by the gentleman cho-
sen. There is a desire on the part of the
president that Gen. Ayers successor
shall be lawyer of attainments and
high standing in his profession. because
OF colonial and other questions involving
legal constructions constantly arising in
the war department, now that the army
is administering affairs in the islands re-
llnQuished by Spain. 1t is thought ad-
visabe from a political point of view
that the new man should come from New
York, which has been without representa-
ton in the cabinet since Secretary Bliss
resigned. The gentleman whose name
has been under most prominent consid-
Grafton as meeting these accomplish
ments and geographical position is Elihu
Root, but whether he has been heard
from on the subject could not be learned
definitely, though there is apparently
good ground for the belief that he has
been.
The talk that Attorney General Griggs
would be shifted from the department of
Justice to the war department was put
down very effectually tonight by the at
torney general himself when he returned
10 the city this evening, who when
inquired of on the subject, made it plain
Io+ l. i'll,
be considered in this connection. The
attorney general has no thought of be-
coming Gen. Ayers successor, and it is
almost certain that he would decline the
war portfolio should the president tender
1t to him, which he (Griggs) considers
improbable, if not altogether out of the
question.
MIR. Griggs reached Washington at $50
this evening, from the East, and after
dining at the Metropolitan club went
to his Office. In answer to questions he
said he had not returned to the city in
response to a message from the presi-
dent, whom he had not heard from since
his departure several days ago. He had
no intmation as to Gen. Ayers success
sor, but, as to himself, he would remain
at the head OF the department of JUS
tice.
Secretary Alger will probably leave
Washington early next week. severing
his connection with the war department
on Monday, when he expects to turn over
his office to Assistant Secretary Neikle-
john, who will reach here from the East
on Saturday, and act as acting secretary
of war until a permanent appointment is
made.
Secretary Alger will spend his remain
ing days in office in closing up a number
of matters with which he is especially
familiar, including engineering projects.
He remained silent today as to his resig-
nation and the causes which led to its
tender, and it is understood that, if he
viii take the public into his confidence at
all, it will not be until after a new sec
Ietary Of war is appointed. He was in
the best of health and feeling better at
the relief from the strain which he has
been under.
