Washington, Jan. 24.-United States
Senator Russell A. Alger of Michigan
died suddenly at his residence in this
city at 8:45 o'clock this morning, fol-
lowing an acute attack of oedema of
the lungs, with which he was stricken
shortly after o'clock.
Although Senator Alger had not
been in good health for some time,
his death was most unexpected. The
senator last night was apparently in
his usual health. During the day he
transacted considerable business and
was at the war department up to a late
hour yesterday afternoon. At the bed.
side, when he passed away, were Mrs.
Alger and their son, Captain F. A. AL.
ger, and his wife.
Tuesday night Senator Alger, when
about to leave the house to attend a
dinner given in honor of Senator Will
liam Alden Smith by the Michigan
delegation, he suffered an attack OF
heart failure, but it was only with diff
ficulty that he was persuaded to re.
main at home. He attended the ses-
sion of the senate Tuesday afternoon
and appeared as we'll as usual.
Vice-President Fairbanks was the
first to call at the Alger residence to.
day to express sympathy.
The funeral services will be held
at'2 p. m. Saturday from the family
residence in this city. The body will
be taken to Detroit for burial.
The session of the senate today was
held entirely with reference to the
death of Senator Alger. Doctor Ed.
ward Everett Hale delivered spe-
cial prayer, and after the reading OF
the journal of yesterday was com
pleted, Senator Burrows presented
resolutions expressing the regret and
sorrow of the body at the sudden
death and providing for special com
mittee of u senators to represent the
senate at the funeral in this city and
attend the body to Detroit. The reso
lutions were agreed to, and on motion
Of Senator Burrows, the senate ~
1877 adjourned as further mark Of
respect.
The house, upon receiving notifica
tion Of the death of Senator Alger, ad
journed out of respect to the memoirs
Of the deceased.
| When the president was informed
of Senator Alger's death he addressed
a note of coincidence to Mrs. Alge,

General Alger said that owing tc
the severe criticism against him dur
ing the Spanish-American war he
three times offered to resign from the
cabinet, but each time President Nc
Kin1ey said he would quit the presi
dency before he would allow it. Gen
eral Alger said that the sequel showed
how much McKinley's words were
worth, in that later his resignation
was accepted because the president
was "embarrassed'' and annoyed be

Governor Pingree in plan to elect
Alger to the United States senate

character, General Alger replied:

message follows:

The receipt today Of the full official

Rear Admiral Davis and Governo'
Swettenham of Jamaica, which did not
differ from the communications trans.
mitted by the Associated Press last
Sunday night, caused the naval o..
ficials again to study the situation
and see if Admiral Davis had in any
way transgressed the bounds OF pro
priety on his visit to Kingston. They
not only found a precedent for landing
men from his ships to preserve order
strangely enough in the case Of anoth

but also saw nothing in the whole af'
fair to warrant the letter addressed
to him by Governor Swettenham. Sec
