MEN NAMED FOR
WAR PORTFOLIO
Speculation as to Alger's
Successor.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Worlu
this morning says that last night II re-
ceived advices from Washington to the
effect that General AnsOn G. McCook
might succeed General Alger as Secre-
tary of War. General McCook attended
a private dinner party at "a West Fifty
sixth street last night, but to World
reporter would say nothing about the
report.
A special to the Journal from WASH
ington says: General Joe" Wheeler
may be the next Secretary of War.
The President, when he heard how
Speaker Reed had insulted the general
by refusing to recognize him on the
floor of the House, was indignant.
Several gentlemen talked over the mat
ter with the President this evening.
and when they left the White House
the news became current that General
Wheeler would succeed Alger. and that
the latter might oblige his friends by
announcing his willingness to retire
next week. The President, it is said.
will appoint Wheeler, for manifold rea-
sons, to enthuse the South, to reward
a hero, to show Democrats the breadth
of the Presidential mind and to an
nounce that money is not an issue. but
that expansion is.

Emperor William arrived at Bremen

WHISKY POOL GROWING.
Absorbs the Mellwood Distillery in
Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 4-The
Kentucky DistiIleries and Warehouse
company, the latest combine in the
whisky world, to-day purchased the
plant of the Mellwood Distillery in this
city. The price is in the neighborhood
of $1,000, 600.
CINCINNATI, March 4.-Since the
organization of the Kentucky Distiller-
les and Warehouse Company, whisky
men have been guessing as to what the
policy of the combine will be. Vice
President Bradley has given out the
following:
mo trade relations respecting the
middlemen or the making of prices will
be radically changed by the present
consolidation. Prices will be gauged
according to the price of grain and the
supply and demands of the finished
products. Few distilleries will be con-
tinued according to the value. There
will be no conflict with the American
Spirits Manufacturing Company or the

He Meant Well.

A well-known young lawyer was walk
ing along East Main street one day dur
ing the late cold weather. and as he ap-
preached the corner of St. Paul street
he perceived a very pretty girl coming
toward him; He had barely time me to note note
her attractive appearance when a gust
Of wind seized the young 1ady's hat and
blew it along the sidewalk in the, direc-
ton of the gallant attorney. The lawyer
endeavored to stop the hat after the man
ner of a shortstop getting in front OF a
ball. and had the mOmentary pleasure of
seeing the runaway bonnet lying e fiutter dt,n

up the hat. and that, is where the side
walk got in its deadly work. His feet
flew from under him and he landed de-
squarely On the hat; The owner OF the the

The lady mustered up possession
enough to thank him for his efforts to
catch the hat, but there was an ''unholy
glare of contradiction" In her eyes as she
said the words. while the lawyer walked
on trying to look as if he did not not know nov
that people were laughing at h1m-Ro-

WILL NOW FAVOR
GREAT BRITAIN
France to Make COnceS-
sions in Madagascar.
Copyrighted, 1899, by the Associated Press.

LONDON, March Avery favorable
reports were received this week regard
ing the negotiations on outstanding
questions between Great Britain and
France 1t is said that NJ. Dupuy, the
French Premier, has decided to en-
deaVor to settle all questions and that
in the question of Madagascar he has
made up his mind to propose important
tariff notifications in favor of Great
Britain, thus removing the cause Of the
bitter complaints that the French
practically killed British trade imme
diately after the protectorate over the
island of Madagascar was declared by
erecting a tariff barrier.
The question of the Bahr-el- -GhaZel
Valley is also said to be in a fair way
of settlement. France has agreed to
barter her claims for fair considera-
ton elsewhere and the Muscat (Sultan-
ate of OMAN difficulty has been tided
over by an arrangement by which
France gets her coalShedS and saves
her honor, but does not make any ter
ritOrial acquisition. Great Britain got
her back up against the latter feature
of the question because she suspected
France wanted coaling station In
Oman, not for herself, but for Russia,
who would make it the terminus OF a
Central Asia railroad from TurkeStan
to the Persian Gulf
So great a pressure has been put upon
the president of the Board of Trade, G.
T. Ritchie, that he has postponed the
second reading of the automatic coup
ling bill, a measure which gives the
Board of Trade power, five years hence,
to compel British railroads to supply
the whole of their rolling stock with
automatic couplings. Reports indicate

which are up in arms against the ex-

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, March A
President Cuestas has organized his
new Cabinet with elements of different
parties The new Ministers have prom
ised to permit the return of all persons
banished for political causes.
The press condemns severely the fe-
licitation which the American Minis
ter. William r. Finch, sent President
Cuestas. considering it as an intrusion
into interior politics of the country. In
his note Minister Finch says, among
other things: you defeated the secret

porters of President Andrade rejoiced to-
day over the news that the Government
forces had won a decisive victory over
Senior Guerra, the president of the new
State of Guarico, who recently organized
a rebellion.
The armies met near Moro Cages. No
details have reached the capital as yet
NEW YORK, March 4.-The Herald 5

rising, led by General Guerra, who was
President of the new Venezuela state and

CONGRESS PREVENTED
SKATERS PROMOTION
War Department Was Eager to Make
Him Major General Before
His Retirement.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The Presi-
dent expresses himself as well pleased in
general with the outcome Of the session
of Congress just closed. He takes hope
full view of conditions, believing the fail
ures of Congress to meet the requirements
in several Instances will not operate to
embarrass the Government seriously. It
was the purpose of the President. had
Congress listened favorably to his re-
quest for authority to appoint four addi-
tional major generals, to have named
Generals Fitzhugh Lee, Wheeler, Wilson
and Wood.
It was a bitter disappointment to the
War Department that the request of the
one additional major general of regulars
should have been negatived. 1t was the
purpose to name for that honor General
Shafter, in order that he might retire with
the laurels he has earned. The general
must be retired by law on the 18th of the
present month and must go out with only
a volunteer commission. 1t is the purpose
to give him at least this.
