Montgomery, Ala. july Ex-senator
Morgans recent interview advising that
democrats drop bryan aud free silver has
occasloned great surprise aud excitement
In political circles in Alabama. The in
terview VIII likely result in Joseph +.
Johnston, the present governor OF Ala
bama, making the race for the senate
against Morgan next year. Morgan has
been the political IDOL of the people OF
Alabama for twenty years. johnston is
man of fine ability and exceedingly
strong with the masses. The race betwseu
them will he spirited.
Many say tho senator is grooming ex-
Senator German for president, Those who
are opposing Morgan's reelection to the
senate are delighted at what they term his
desertion OF Bryan, and are already ac-
lively at work to bring the full force OF
Brynn's followers against Morgan's re-
election.

Washington, July H.-Secre;ary Of War
Alger left today at noon for Long Branch.
He will be absent from the city until
Monday. He goes there for a brief period
of rest and recuperatlon and while there
will be the guest of Vice President Hobart,
who is spending the summer at Long
Branch with his family. The fact that
both Alger and Assistant Secretary Mel
klejohn are not In the city and VIII not
be here for several days has provoked
the very pertinent inquiry; Who is now
acting secretary OF war;" Under army
regulations and In pursuance OF an I'M
written law, the authority TO act would
fall upon General Miles. commanding gen
eral OF the army. II was self evident to-
day that General Alger was unwilling To
have General Miles designated as acting
secretary OF war, hut the friends OF the
com manding general are so outspoken IN
their declaration that such an act would
be studied discourtesy to General Miles
that the president, between whom and
General Miles there II the most cordial
good feeling. late tonight announced that
General Miles would, during the absence
OF General Alger. act as secretary OF war.
This is the first time In the history OF this
administration that General Miles has
been so designated and It is accepted here
as meaning that the president bears no i'll
will to the commanding general OF the
army for the part played by him in the
beef inquiry
General Miles has asked to be sent to
the Philippines, not with the purpose OF
dispiacing Otis, but to assist him in the
management OF the campaign there after
the rainy season is over. The friends OF
the commanding general declare that the
relations between himself and the presl-
dent are OF a most cordial character and
point to the fact that during the past win
