Russell A. AIoer,

only few days ago the papers were
announcing the election of Congress-
man William Alden Smith to succeed
Senator Alger of Michigan and from all
sides there were tributes to the Iattar
ana the wish that he would live many
years to enjoy his well-earned retire
ment. And now comes the news of his
sudden death in Washington. There
was no sickness and no warning. He
was in his seat in the Senate the dav
before his death. A weak heart failed
and the end followed at once Senator
Alger has not been in good health for
years. although he was less than year
past the allotted three score and ten.
For almost half century Russell A.
Alger has been a conspicuous figure in
American politics and during much of
that time he has been a storm center
OF controversy. As soldier of the
Rebellion, he participated in 66 battles
and skir,nisheS, exhibiting great brav-
cry and dash. and yet his military
record evoked varying estimates which
went with him into the Office of secre-
tary of var. in the Mckinley admin
istration. He had in the meantime
been governor of Michigan, man of
large affairs. the head of the Grand
Army, successful in business, and
somewhat promising candidate for the
presidency. On the fifth ballot of the
convention of 1883 he received 142 votes,
number which was exceeded only by
234 cast for Sherman and 212 cast for
Harrison, who was successful on the
eighth ballot. 1t was the Alger strength
which gave the nomination to Harrison
over Sherman.
As secretary of war under Mckinley
at the time of the war with Spain, Gen.
eral Alger received a great amount of
criticism. most of which was unde-
served. 1t was 2 very hard place for
a man and probably most men would
have been criticized worse than he was

In an appreciative sketch of his life,
! the Boston Transcript says:
General Ayers public career has of
late years proved. to a considerable de-
gree, a series of misfts. for which he
was not wholly responsible. He may
have made mistakes as secretary of
war. but no one doubted that he was
doing his best in the political environ
ment in which he had found himself
and the conditions that had grown up
in the war Office. The American peo-
pie habitually run to extremes of
praise or blame. Their unbridled en-
thusiasm over Dewey and their CEN

NO CHANCE or WAR WITH JAPAN.
R. WakatSukI OF the MIkadO's Financial
Department Talks OF the situation.

ReNiro Wakatsuki, Westminster Of iii
nance of Japan. who is o in this city
studying financial conditions. had this to
say yesterday OF the attitude of his people
in America;
Respect and love for the American
people and admiration for American ideals
Of government is a tradition of the Japanese
race. 1t is a feeling that will be strength
n with the passing years. To my mind
the future OF Japan and the United States
lies along harmonious paths. Talk OF war
between the United States and Japan is
worse than absurd. 1t is silly.
Il think. however, il Is very strange that
American should give space
to the reports that the Japanese people
are very much excited over disturbances
in a Francisco. Such reports are gross
exaggerations.
THE Japanese people do not like these
disturbances. But the Japanese do not
measure the attitude Of the American Gov
ernmen or the feelings Of the great Ameri-
can people BY som mob outburst in San
are not excited over this matter.
The enterprise Of American industry
is an inspiration for the economic develop
ment of Japan. We have great respect
for your captains Of finance and industry,
Morgans. and for tho great constructive
work they lave done. We have met the
ships of Mr.. Hartman and Mr.. Hill. These
men. among others Of course, by stimu-
lating the channels of trade between Japan
and the United States are doing much
for the future relations between our ooun-
tries. The name Of Schif is known through
the length and breadth Of Japan as an
American citizen who rendered a great
service to our nation in time OF trouble.
your President, Theodore Roosevelt, is
frank and honest and brave in what he
does and says. He is unquestionably one
Of the very greatest statesmen Of his time.
l can say nothing better or worse of him
than that Japanese statesmen are always
aspiring TO the ideals which President
Roosevelt has set up. This is not merely
my opinion, but l believe also the opinion
Of the Japanese nation.
MY mission is not to borrow money.
Japan is growing and will need new funds.
japan. however. when the time comes to
raise more money. will act cautiously. She
Is not likely to rush into the markets Of the
world for money unannounced.
THE fact that American investors hold
a large amount of Japanese bonds, govern
ment, municipal, d~ebentures and Others, is
a very pleasing factor in the situation be-
tween the American inc Japanese people
and cannot help but draw them closer and
closer together
