From 4 o'clock when the welcoming committee crowded Into his private car upon Its arrival at Toledo until ! o'clock, when the general ceased grasping outstretched hands, the scene was a constant and spontaneous ovation. Smiles and tears repeatedly strug gled for the mastery over the secre tary's bronzed countenance, as he gazed Into the eager faces of tho mul titudes who loudly and convincingly Insisted that "Alger's all right," and no dlssentent voice was heard.

"Since I went away, two and a half years ago, as you know, the country has been through n terrific struggle. The ofllce of which I was the head was taxed to the utmost of every man's strength who occupied any position in It. I gave my best thought and honest effort and did everything I could to carry out my part of that great work. What has been done Is a matter of record and J am perfectly willing to rest the case with my countrymen. Kvery transaction, every order, and everything that was done in conduct ing that war Is a matter of ecord, and the people have a right to have that record searched. "And now my fellow citizens, I come home without a gilvance. During that struggle and while that great work was upon me I cap truth fully say that I bud from the president all the support that he could give. We went through that struggle nnd came out victorious. We transported across the seas more than loO.OOO men one way and the other without an Incident. We fought bnttles in the Philippines. In Cuba and In Porto Hlco, and we never lost n battle, a color, a prisoner or n gun. Wherever tlie American flag was planted by the Amerlcnn soldier there It stands and there It shnll stand forever. Put. as 1 said. T have no speech to make. I am glad to be among you again, a private citizen, and that I can travel these streets and meet you in social and business Intercourse, and I propose to May here tho balance of my life. Good night."

The Colum bia and the Defender started In a smooth sea before an eight knot breeze at 11.1C.0D and 11.16.19 respectively to day In a race to a mark boat off Hlock Island nnd return, a distance of twenty-six miles. At 12.04, nt Which time the Columbia was far ahead of the Defender, the new steel mast on the Columbia broke and tho race was abandoned. No one was hurt by the falling rigging. The mast broke about forty feet from the deck and the yacht's entire suit of sails, main sail, forestay sail, jib, Jib top sail and club top sail went overboard to leeward. The Defender came rapidly up to the assistance of the new boat, while a number of tugs also made for tho Col umbia at full speed. Tho accident took place when the Columbia was about live miles south of Point Judith and the wind at the time wub not blow ing over eight knots nn hour. It took neatly an hour to clear nway enough of tho wreck of the Columbia so that she could be towed to Newpmt. She wns then towed to her moorngs inside Iort Adams by the Associated Press tug. The Columbia suffered little Injury to her hull. It Is expected that she will be towed to Bristol, where tho pine mast which the steel one replaced Is stored. It will take two days and perhnys longer to fix tho rigging and it is considered unlikely that the two boats will meet again until the New York Yacht club's cruise next week.
