ALGER’S succrssor.
The President Accepts War
Secretary’s Resignation.
THE CORRESPONDENCE llADE PUBLIC.
New Appointment Not Likely to Be
Made Before Aug. l—A Long List
10! Possibilities, but No Hint
as to a. Choice.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-—-The presi-
dent has definitely designated Aug. 1 as
the date of General Alger’s retirement
from the war department. In this he on-
ly carried out the verbal promise he had
made to the secretary of war. The sec-
retary, however, will not remain in
Washington‘throughout the interval be-
fore the end of the month. Assistant
Secretary Meiklejohn has been discover-
ed at New London, Waupaca county,
Wis., and telegr’aphs that he will reach
\Vashington tomorrow night. Secretary
Alger expects to turn over the responsi-
bilities of the office to Mr. Meiklejohn
quickly and will go away early next
‘ week, returning, if absolutely necessary,
only for a day when his successor is pre-
pared to qualify.
The correspondence between the presi-
dent and General Alger was made pub-
. he by the latter yesterday afternoon im—
mediately on receipt of the executive’s
acceptance. Secretary Alger-’5 note, dat-
ed July 19, is as follows:
“Sir—I beg to tender you my resigna-
tion of the office of secretary of.,war, to
take effect at such time in the near fu-
ture as you may decide the affairs of this
department will permit. ,
"In terminating my official- connection
with your administration I wish for you-
continued health and the highest measure
of success in carrying on the great work
intrusted to you.”
This was delivered at the TVhite House
by Secretary Alger himself “’edncsday
morning.
The president’s reply, which was hand-
cd to the secretary in his office at the
war department at 3 o’clock yesterday
afternoon by the acting secretary to the
peresideut, Mr. Cortelyou, and bears
date of July 20, was as follows:
“Dear Sir—Your resignation of the
office of secretary of war under date of
July 19 is accbpted, to take effect Aug.
1, 1899.
“In' thus severing the oflicial relation
which has continued for more than two
years I desire to thank you for the faith-
ful service you have rendered the country
at a most exciting period and to wish
you a long and happy life.
“TVith assurances of high regard and
esteem, I am yours sincerely.”
Speculation over the succession is ram-
pant throughout Washington, but the
opinions of those who would have most
weight are difficult to secure. One cabi-
net officer went so far as to say that he
believed the president had scarcely con-
sidered the matter yet. This member of
the official family, however, 'corrected
himself by saying that he was sure no de-
cision had been reached, and he admitted
that some time ago the president had
canvassed the .field pretty thoroughly.
The list of those “mentioned” assumed
tremendousdimensions.’ A Washington
newspaper; gathers from various sources
the following array: Attorney General
Griggs, Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn,
,General Leonard \Vood, General Fran-
cis Vii'Greene, General James H. Wil-
son, Adjutant General Corbin, General
Fitz—Hugh Lee, General Harrison Grey
Otis, General Horace Porter, Governor
Roosevelt, Elihu Root, ex—Governor Mer-
riam, director of the census; Representa-
tive Hull of Iowa, Representative Gros-
venor of Ohio, Senator Sewell of New
Jersey, Senator Hawley of Connecticut.
