resignation of Russell A. AIger, volun'
tarily or by request of the president, will
occur within fortnight. President Nc
Kinley has practically made up his mind

These positive statements we're made
to me today by gentleman usually well
informed, and were subsequently ad.
mi,ted as probability by member of
the cabinet who has talked with the
president confdentially on the subject
Secretary Alger is in Detroit. 1t is
believed he is making plans for return,
ing there and resuming his old business
engagements. He is expected to return
here Friday, and it is not unlikely that
his resignation and the appointment OF
his successor may be formally announced
at that time.
Secretary Alger's contemplated junket
to Cuba and Porto Rico, am told, is off.
This is one of the reasons for believing
his resignation is to occur Immediately.

graceful skill with the violin, DR.. Ayers
