will become effective August it, al
though It was tendered "at th pleas

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,

th:U he had eulited in his active inp
lort Governor PIngree, to whom' had
been attributed free critUrtna of the
policy that wat supposed to be chr- j
ished by the prenldent toward Fili

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
