Ever since the formalannouricement of. the Alger Pingree alliance and Ptogree's de nunciation of President McKinley, leading republlcaAa have urged the president to ask for A9gera resianfl.Hn The. demand became so strong that the president inittmated to the secretary that they had" reached! the parting of me ways, The secretary did not resign at once, and the president then! asked for his resignation in a more formal way. Alger, after several days' consid eration, sent the- resignation, to take effect some months hence. Now that the news of this' has leaked out, it will undoubtedly cause the date of the res ignation to made earlier and a formal announcement of his (retirement from the cabinet may 'be looked for at any moment. The reason assigned by Alger's friends for dlating the resignation some months away is that he is anxious ta sign the secretary of war's full report J of the war to be sent to congress in De cember. If the president is willinr te allow this time, Alger will go on a long vacation and the president will run the war department himse'f. If not Alger will resign shortly and be succeeded by a New Yorkwan, very likely General Francis V. Greene.
