The Senator From Michigan to Be
an’s Successor.
ALGER TO TAKE HIS "SEAT
Inference Is that Governor Piugree “'lll
Appoint Secretary of War for Unexpired
Term. “’ill Believe the Administration
and at the Same Time Protect Algrr’s
"Feelings. .
W'ashington, D. 0., Nov. 14.—United
States Senator James McMillan of
Michigan is to succeed Secretary 01'
State John Hay as ambassador to
Great Britain, unless Secretary Alger
and a few of his personal friends have
been misinformed.
The statement came so directly from
a gentlemanwho is in a position to be
advised on the subject that it may be
considered absolutely accurate.
The suggestion of Senator McMillan
for the English mission is not new, as
the subject has been frequently men-
tioned in Michigan politics, and also at
the National Capital since the first re-
port was circulated that Secretary Al,—
, 1' would retire from the McKinley
1 1blnet.
The statement that Senator McMillan
was willing to 'fizlinquish-rthe remain-
:ler of his term in the Senate to go to
the court of St. James has never been
directly denied by the president, Secre-
tary Hay orSenator McMillan.
All efforts to obtain an authorized
confirmation of. the report have been
equally futile, but at the same time
those who are closely associated with
Senator McMillan and Secretary Alger
in unguardedmome nts during the last
few weeks have stated without qualifi-
cation that the incident is as good as
closed, so far as Senator McMillan’s
appointment by the president is con-
cerned.
Of course the inference is that when
“McMillan resigns his seat~ in the Senate
Governor Pingree of Michigan will ap-
point Secretary Alger to fill out the un-
expired term, which lasts until March
,1901.
1 This is the plan said to have been
agreed upon between the president,
Secretary Alger, Senator McMillan and
Governor Filigree some time previous
to the recent elections. .
The subject has been kept in the
background pending the campaign, but
the Michigan men are now looking for-
ward to an early culmination of the
:projéct, which will relieve the adminis-
:.tration of the services of Secretary Al-
.ger without in icting serious wounds
upon his personal pride. .A seat in the
United States Senate is balm enough to
'..heal almost any political Wpund.
Senator MCJVIlllan. is now rounding
out his second term in the Senate, and
he has no further aspirations in that
direction.
The novelty of being one of the rich-
est members of that distinguished body
and in addition being regarded as one
of the ablest and most astute council-
lors in the Republican party, has pas-
sed, and he is said to be willing to go
to the court of St. James during the
remainder of the McKinley administra-
tion.
Secretary Alger has evidently grown
weary of being made the scapegoat for
all the mistakes of the war, and he
would not hesitate to resign his seat at
the cabinet table, with all its multifa-
rious responsibilities and accept a gov-
ernor-given senatorial toga at the
hands of his personal friend, the execu-
tive of the state of Michigan.

Return of Government Surveyors.
Seattle, Wash, Nov. 12. -—The steam
schooner Excelsior has arri'Ved here
from Copper river, Alaska, with about
twofiiundred passengers, among Whom
were Captain W. R. Abercrombie, of
the United States army, and his party
of government surveyors, including F.
C. Schader, geologist; Emil Marlow.
topographer, and nine enlisted men.
The Abercrombie party claims to
have cut a trail from the Vlades to
Copper river, which does away with
the dangerous trip over the glacier and
shortens the distance sixty miles. Cap-
tain Abercrombie says: '
“0f the three thousand persons who
went into' the Copper river country,
from nine hundred to eleven hundred
will winter there. Those who came
back either lost their outfits or were
grub staked, tenderfeet, who simply
sat around camp and searched but lit-
tle, if any, for gold.
“There are three placer mine camps
in,the interior at Lake Seslota, the To—
nsina and Consina rivers. Coarse pla-
cer gold has been found at all of them
Bed 1ock has not been reached yet on
account of the water.
“W. S. Amy of San Francisco has
discovered a big vein of bituminous
coal west of Teslin lake.’
Accompanying Captain Abercrombie
is the United States Coast and Geo-
detic Survey party, consisting of H. P.
Ritter, E. B. Latham, H. C. Denson
and several others who have been at
work all summer in Copper river delta
procuring complete maps and data. The
delta is about thirty miles wide at its
widest‘ part. i

011 Cat Island.
Nassau, New Providence, Nov. 12.—
Wreckers who have arrived here have
brought with them stores from the
stranded vessel off Cat island, which
establishes beyond a doubt that she is
the Infanta. Maria Teresa.
As the vessel is looked upon as being
a derelict, the wreckers claim the right
to seize the stores which can be saved.
They report that the water is up to her
between decks, that she has a list to
starboard, which side is damaged, and
that she is dismasted.
The vessel lies between two reefs,
on a smooth bottom, and has her an-
chor out.
Norfolk, Va., Nov. 12.—The Merritt.
Wrecking Company has decided to
send its tug the I. J. Merritt to Cat
island to workon the wreck there. If
the vessel is theTeresa, the Merritts
no doubt will attempt to fulfill their
contract with the government by deliv~
ering the vessel at Norfolk. _
If the Vulcan met with no accident
she should now be at the scene of the
wreck.
Train Robbers Caught.
Moorehead, Minn, Nov. 12.—Six of
the men engaged in the hold up of the
Great Northern coast train near Fer-
gus Falls were captured here yesterday
by Chief of Police Murphy.

and all a: e bright and intelligent in
ap pealance. Three claim to come f1 om
II ssouri.
There seems to be no doubt that they
are the men implicated and they had
agreed to rendezvous at Moorehead.
A number of other robberies, including
that. of an elevator at Evansville and
a bank at Battle lake are now credited
to this gang.

FROM SOUTH NORWALK.
WkatThey Say In South Nor-
waik Will Bear Repeat-
ing in Norwalk.
Readers of the South Norwalk pape“s
have been familiar with it for over two
years. At first it created considei able
excitement. and the residents were
anxious and curious to know whose
statement would be the next published.
Week after wee i went by and the good
people of South Norwalk ceased to
wonder. and settled down to the fact
that what so many of their neighbors
said must be true. What. was success-
ful in South Nor-walk, is successful in
N orwalk. Any medicinal preparations
that. carries out its representations to
the letter, like Doan’ s Kidney Pills,
becomes a house- hold necessity. Ask
any citizen of South Norwalk what will
cure their back; the answer invariably
is Doan’ s Kidney Pills. One of those
whose testimony has helped to push
the good work along' 15 Mr. Frank St.
John, No.56 Taylor avenue, a lock-
smith by trade, in the employ of the
N orwalk Lock Co., who says:
“I am not the only one engaged in the
calling who suffers from backache, ag-
gravated by the constant change of
position and the bending and snooping.
There are others in the factory and in
the city I know who are troubled in the
same way. I had some disorder of my
kidneys which led to a constant and
painful backache. I procured a. box of
Doan’s Kidney Pills at a drug store
and they brought about entire " relief.
I am only too pleased to recommend so
valuable a. preparation.”

dant in Norwalk. Ask Glendeuing &

Field Glass 'That sin—owl? 'Distanceo.
The latest improvements in optical
instruments is a gauge attached to a
field glass and a prismatic lens in one
of the barrels to determine the dis-
tance of an object. This is accom-
plished by producing two images of
the object seen, one superimposed upon
the other. rl‘he prism creates the an-
gle which forms the basis for the
mathematical calculation of the dis,
tance, and the scale contains the so-
lution in advance of the geometrical
problem. On the barrels of the glass
are human figures—one of an infant-
ryman and the other of a cavalryman
——With a graduated scale. By observ-
ing the portion of the body against
which the top ofthe second image is
projected and consulting the scale the
distance of the object is easily ascer-
tained. Of course the accuracy of the
test depends upon accurate focusing
of the glasses and careful observa-
tion.—Jewel~er’s Weekly.

COMMISSION’S WORK DONE ”
Miember of the Evacuation Commission
__ Aboard. He Predicts a Great Future for
Porto LRico. {People Are Law-abiding
and Pleased With American Control.
New York, Nov. 12. —The United .
States cruiser Newark, in command of
Commander Goodrich, and flying the
flag of Rear Admiral Schley, arrived
Yesterday from San Juan, Porto Rico,
and anchored off Tompkinsville, S. I.
She was greeted on her arrival by a
salute from the battleship Texas, in
honor of the Rear Admiral aboard.
The Newark sailed from San Juan
on Sunday. November 6.
On board with Rear Admiral Schley
were his staff, composed of Flag Lieu-
tenant James H. Sears, Flag Secretary
B. W. Wells, Jr., and Ensign E. Mc-
Cauley, aide, and Hon. Charles W.
Russell of the department of justice.
legal adviser to the Porto Rican evacu-
ation commission, who also accompan-
ied the rear admiral when he went to
Porto Rico. _
The rear admiral had with him the
report of the commission, consisting of
three bulky parcels, with the documen-
tary evidence, and estimated to contain
at. least sixty thousand words, which
he took with him to Washington last
evening.
He looked well, and said he felt well
though tired and in need of rest; the
tact that had to be exerciISed in the dis-
charge of the work of the commission
had been a great strain, and he wanted
to get away off in the country on a
farm, where he could be away from all
care for a time.
He said that the meetings of the com-
mission with the Spaniards had been
very harmonious; the instructions that
the American commissioners could not
deviate from were gracefully submitted
to by them, and before the meetings
ceased the Spaniards had a. very much
higher respect for Americans.
The report contains a. full statement
of the finances, the revenues, and ex-
penditure... the debts, the government
and other conditions of Porto Rico and
its inhabitants. .
Rear Admiral Schley finishes up the '
work of the commission in conveying
the report to the president.
0!! the other two members, Major
General John R. Brooke remains as
military governor of Porto Rico, and
Brigadier General W. W. Gordon re-
turned home some two weeks ago.
As Rear Admiral Schley was com-
mandant at Porto Rico, he did not
leave beforeF the arrival of Commander
Snow, who reached San- Juan by the.
hospital steamer Solace, from NeW'
York on Saturday, with several officers
stores and marines to establish a bar-v
racks, and took immediate command
of the station. .
The rear admiral said that Porto Ri-
co had a great future and advantages
equal with Cuba.
The people, he continued, are agreea-'
ble, docile and amenable to law, and
are just now carried away with admi-
ration for the United States. -
Flag Secretary B. W. Wells, Jr., said
that the Spaniards had almost all left
the island, being mostly in the military
and civil Service. The small number
left, he said, were "those compelled to
stay by their interests.
The heat was great when the Newark
left San Juan last Sunday, but the
nights were cool. ‘
He said that the soldiers are now get-
ting acclimated, so that the number of
sick in the hospitals is growing rapidly
less.
The men are gradually being housedl
and will soon no longer have to live.
in tents and sleep on the ground. l
There arrived also, from the VVest'
Indies yesterday the transport Berlin,‘
Captain Wilson, which sailed from?
Santiago on November 6.
She reached:
quarantine at 8 o’clock, and after be-.
ing inspected by the health officer, pro-
ceeded to an anchorage off Bedloe’s is-
land.
The Berlin brought .137 passengers,‘
consisting of discharged and. convales-
cent soldiers, government employes and,
Six contract female nurses.
Among these passengers were Cap-
tain Justo Garcia, son of General Ca—'
lixto Garcia; Major Melendez of the
Cuban armV, and Senor Carulla, Cli-
ban diplomat on a mission to the Uni-
ted States.
The Berlin is in charge of Captain
