NO OFFICIAL DISPATCHES.
War Department Knows Nothing
Of the Centennial's Grounding.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The War
Department has received no official dis
patches relative to the grounding of
the transport Centennial on the north
end of Luzon and the loss of 100 tons
of supplies which were thrown over
board to tighten the ship.
According to the records here the
Centennial carried 1900 tons of sup
plies, and it is believed they were all
the property of the Subsistence De-
partment. The commissary office at
Manila has been queried to know
whether it is desirable to Immediately
replace the supplies which were lost.
The Centennial was a chartered ship
and not one of the regular government
transport fleet.

His Motto is Antitrust and Direct Vote for
Senators.
Himself a Foo to Those
Great Amalgamations and Be-
lever In Election Of Senators by
Direct Vote Of the Peop1e-He
Has Formed an Alliance With
Governors Pingree Against Me-
MILAN.

CHICAGO, June 23.--General Russell
A. Alger, Secretary Of War, announced
here to-day that he Is in the Michigan
Senatorial fight with ANTITRUST and
election of Senators by direct vote of
the people on his banners.
ut Is perhaps little. early to say
that trust and trust legislation are to
be great factor in the coming cleo
tions,' said General Alger. "Other is
sues of greater Importance may arise,
but, however that may be, it is GER
tain that the widespread spirit of con-
solidation of financial interests is an
evil which must be contended against.
am foe to these great amalgamations
and believe in the election of Senator'S
by direct vote of the people, and as
Governor Pingree states, on these
planks will stand.
1.-THE concentration of wealth In
trusts is detrimental to the interests
of the people. 1t squeezes the small
dealer out of business and greater than
all, eliminates the middle man and
stiles competition. With certain
commodity controlled by one man of a
coterie Of men, they are not compelled
to seek customers. The dealer must
come to the trust, take what he can
get and pay without murmur the
price asked.
Everywhere manufacturers are
meeting to agree on increases in their
prices for articles made of raw ma
teria1 and monopolized by a trust. This
is noticeable in articles in which iron
and steel are used. The results of
monopoly are so apparent and have
been so widely discussed that further
comment is not necessary. I am not an
extremist, but the growing tendency to
absorb small industries into one big
company. that others may be frozen
out and monopoly secured, is mat
ter for consideration by Legislatures
on behalf of the people who are vital
ly interested.
'"The present system Of electing Sem
ators through the agency of the Leg
isature is one that always had its
criticisms and believe the criticism is
Just. The direct vote is the better
method, I think, and while the attain
ment of this end will doubtless take
years, it is worth laboring for. A Sem
atorial fight in a State Legislature
generally sends to Congress a man who
is more the representative of a ma
chine than of the people.
1.-THE contest in Michigan for the
nomination will be a fair stSnd-up
fight. Mr.. Mcmillan, aided, believe,
by Burrows, will try for denomination.
Governor Pingree has shown himself
very friendly to me, and especially since
the beginning of the war. 1t is too
early to make calculations on the
strength of the force which will con-
tend, but there will not be two Re-
publican candidates in the field-noth-
ing to disrupt the party"

PINGREE WILL HELP.
Has Combined With Alger in the
Interest of His Senatorial Fight.

DETROIT, June Ex-Governor Pin
gree gave out a public statement to-
day to the effect that he had combined
with Secretary Alger in the interests
of Ayers Senatorial candidacy. GEN
eral Alger will not withdraw under
any circumstances, nor will he spend
any money in the campaign. The plat
form of their campaign will include OPP
position to trusts and declaration in
favor of Senatorial! elections by a pop
ular vote. The alliance was made at
a conference held last night at which
several of the Pingree State leaders
and the General and the Governor were
present
Said the Governor: st have avoided

General first. But all along General

asking him if 1 could see him IN De-
troit on his way back to Washington.
In reply he arranged to meet me last
evening OF course, cart speak for
my friends. but those have talked
with are Alger men beyond all qEes-
tons. They cannot SGpport Senator
Mcmillan They certainly cannot be
classed as friends Of mine IL they do.
They cannot forget eight years of po-
litical history in a day, nor can they
live with the representatives of Judi
cious combinations and unequal taxa
ton and pretend at the same time to
be friends of the equal and just taxa
ton and foes to trusts
AT our meeting last night General
Alger told us frankly the history of
his relations with Senator Mcmillan in
the matter of the Senatorship. He has
dealt with General Alger the same as
he has treated everyone who questions
his ownrship of the Republican party.
General Alger is in the race and to
stay to the end" said the Governor,
s-and you can say in the strongest En-
glish you can write, am with him
heartily and I propose to do all / per-
sonally and with my friends can to
aid his candidacy. AS General Alger
nut it to me- he will be a candidate If
he has assurances for no more than
one vote in the Legislature. I said
to Alger that could not personally
support a man who would not declare
himself on the right side of two of the
greatest questions OF the day-thoee OF
trusts and elections OF United States
Senators by direct vote Of the people.
wish to say that the General is abb
solutely sound on both these ques-
tions."

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Act

SO far as the department is concern
ed, the question of the maintenance
of eanteens at United States army
posts is settled in favor of maintain
ing the present system.
Reports from officers in all branches
of the service showed that from every
standpoint the army canteen as now
operated is infinitely better for the
interests of the soldier than the other
system of post traders and low grog
geries on the outskirts of the posts. The
regulations under which the canteen
operates are already formulated and
there will be no need for further ac-
ton by the department.
