GEN. M’ARTHUR’S STAR IS RISING. | The ‘President’s Choice as Successor to Otis. PROBABLE CHANGES TO BE MADE IN IN THE PHILIPPINES. Chicago, Aug. 9 —A regular army officer, just from Washington on bis way to the Philippines, made the statement to friends in Chicago that Otis is to be relieved from command in the Philippines before active op erations are resumed in the fisld. According to this officer General Arthur MacArtbur is President Mc- Kinley’s choice for fi-ld commander of the Luzon Island campaign. He said it was generally understood by the army men who are near the President that Otis is to be relieved and that Gen. McArtkur at the end of the rainy season will be named in general orders as the commanding general of the American army in the Philippines It also is stated that Major-General Leonard Wood will be transferred from Santiago to Manila to do what he has accom- plished in Santiago. The officer said: “T had a talk with President Mc- Kinley just before he left Washing- ton for his vacation and I gathered from what he said that none of the new regiments which are forming in this country will be sent to Manila until they have been thoroughly drilled and disciplined “The President does not look for any active operations in the Phil- ippines until the rainy season is over. By that time he hopes to have 10 new regiments of well drilled, well equipped infantry ready to be- gin an active campaign when they disembark from the troopships. “While there is no doubt that the President has much faith in Mejor- General Otis, it also is true that he recognizes that Gen. Otis is not the man to handle the difficulty. I be- lieve he looks upcn Gen. McArthur as the man to fill the bill, and many of the officers around the War De partment in Washington believe that Gen. McArthur will be in command of the troops in the field when active operations are resumed. : “The Presidert did not want Gen, Wheeler to go to the Philippines, He told the General he was _ too old, that he had won enough leurels to satisfy any reasonable man and that the climate would be too much for him. But ‘Fighting Joe’ insisted, and when at last he got his orders he was as happy asa boy with his first pair of boots. “Gen. Wheeler hopes he will serve under General Lawton.” He and Lawton are great friends, and it is Gen. Wheeler’s strong desire that he will command a brigade in Lawt+a’s division. Both men are dashing fighters, and their methods of cam- paigning are identical. They will make a great team if they get to- gether.” Officers who have returned from the Philippines tell of a pretty race for the vacant major generalehip in the regular army between “Scrappy” Lawton as the soldiers call the General, and Gen.McArtbur. Each of them wants to wear the double starred shoulder straps of a general the regular army, and both are bent on making a record which will give them the coveted commis- sion. The returned officers say that General Otis is doing ali he can to give Gen. McArthur opportunities to make a great name for himself. They say he keeps Gen. McArthur in the front as much as possible, and itis generally understood at Manila that Gen. Otis regards Gen. MeAr- thur as his right-hand man. The soldiers are fond of General Lawton. They like his dashing style of fighting,and his constant presence on the firing line, his disregard of personal danger and the soldierly picture he presents dashing along | _ tbe front on bis big black horse have conspired to make him the object of their affection. The returned soldiers say that if it were left to the boys on the firing line no one but General Henry W. Lawton would command them. Gen. Whest, also, according to soldiers’ stories, is a popular ‘officer He_has been leading his men a la Funston and has made a record | for reckless bravery which has popu- larized him with the men. There also is talk that the War Department has about decided to organize a machine-gun arm of the service, much on the tines suggested by Lieut John Parker, who com-| manded the Gatling gun section of | |Gen Shafter’s army. The rapid fire | guns are said to have been of great value to the army in the Philippine campaign, and it is reported that | orders have been given for a number | of Gatlings and Colts Hundreds of Kentucky saddle horses have been bought for the said they are to be sent to the Phil- ippines It also is reported thata number of Jamaica and Cuban ponies have been purchased for similar service. A free and easy expectoration is produced by a few doses of Ballard’s Horehound Syrup, in all cases of hoarseness, sore throat, or difficulty of breathing. Price 25 and 50c, at H.

Mr. McDermott takes keen interest in politics. Three years ago he joined the Indianapolis Convention Demo erocy, but now he has returned to the Democratic house of his fathers and announces himself a full convert to the principles advocated by Whil- liam Jennings Bryan. Mr. McDermott announced his political regeneration as follows to- day: s Rock Me to Sleep. FLORENCE PARCY, Backward, turn backward, O time in your flight, Make me a child again just for to-night!

I had money in national banks and the anti-Bryan press and anti- Bryan orators howled about depre- ciation in values that would surely follow the election of Bryan until I really believed they were right, so I voted for McKinley. Now I’m sorry of it. The stupendous growth of trusts, fostered by the republican party and the unamerican and un- constitutional policy the national ad- ministration is pursuing in the Pail ippines is enough to make a true American sick at heart. If I am able to reach the polls in 1900, I shall put in one ballot for William Jennings Bryan and whoever runs on the ticket with him I travel about the country a good deal and have fairly good opportunities for observing the trend of public thought. I personally know of at least 1000 men that have taken iden tically the same position I have taken since the last presidential election There will not b2 enough of the Me Kinley administration left, in my judgment, after the next election to justify one in referring to it as of national proportions.” Hundreds of Horses Dead, Billings, Mont., August 9.—Five hundred, horses belongiog to Powell Bros., of Cooley City, Wash, con signed to South Omahe, were un- loaded here at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon for tranefer to the Bur- lington and Missouri line. At 5 o'clock this afternooh they began dying by the wholesalé and at this writing, 8 p. m., 257 have succumbed and the rest are keeling over. There are many fine animals among them and the loss will reach many thous. ands of dollaas. The cause of death is a mystery. Many claim they were poisoned befere reaching thia point, while others contend that they drank too much water on being un loaded. The sight presented at the “dying ground,” one mile east of this city, is too horrible for descrip tion.
