Alger today tendered to President McKlnlcyJiis resignation cf the war rot tf olio. The resignation will become effective August it, al though It was tendered "at th pleas uie of the president."' Uosclp has already trf-gun as to his successor, tut it is entirely specula live, fcr, r.otwi'hstanding the reirts that Alger would not long continue at the head of the war depHriment, his actunl migration c&me suddenly and unexpectedly. That it would come by the end rf the year was gcner-tliy b lieed. but to Utile was it expected at this time. th;it the cabinet cflicers. when the news ftrtt became public, were Inclined to regard the announce ment as premature. The announce ment that it wan actually In hand, came to them In the nature of a sur prise. Th foimal , acceptance f t tb-t resignation had net In en n-ado by tho pi evident up to a late hour tor.ight, but will be In a letter to b written within the n'oxt da or two. No o(Tic iat bta1 rrent as ti the nuse of th-s reJrt-atlon was prcnnn11e, elihr from th protidcnt or from Secretary A'ger, neither of whom would talk on the subjt't Nor was the letter of resig nation oht.-iinuMe nt this time.

There have been many expla- , nations and den'als of facts In that cae, but Jn the end, the impression was conveyed that 'the rsult c-f the Mich'gan y'slt ot the secretary, had been to change relaUons between th-t president and himrelf to su h a de cree as to mske. the rrstoratlori of thlr fornr stntus impo:ble, nd to render & coniectlon of the two as i part of the same oTiciKl famiJy unde sl table.
