THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 1 5 OTIS T6 LOSE THE MILITARY COMMAND It Is Said to Be the Intention to Leave Him in Charge of Civil Affairs in Philippines. ° WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The general belief here is that after a conference of Senator Beveridge, Professor Schur- Y man and Secretary Root with the President it was practically x agreed to send Merritt to the Philippines to take charge of the . military and give Otis charge of civil affairs. A A AR A A DA SR DS A A A AT ES A SRS @ NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—A Washington special to the Herald says: No n can be obtained in official circles of the persistent rumors Major General Miles is to be sent to the Philippines to succeed Major Otis. Inquiry at the Executive Mansion and at the War Depart- t, luding both Secretary Root and General Miles, brings forth the ne general statement that there s no present intention of relieving Major General Otis : The authorities are expecting much of General Otis before the full 5,000 men has reached Manila.

In order to avoid confusion and conflict of interests Mr. Bryan visited the Pavilion shortly after 7 o'clock. He was escorted there by the Iroquois Club of this city, the wives of some of the more prominent members of the club taking care of Bryan. The distinguished vi were accerded all the courtesy pos sible by the directors of the Agricul- tural Society. They were shown all the principal exhibits, which they enjoyed very much. The committee of women accorded Mrs. Bryan a cordial recep- o % | tion, and hundreds of the fair sex were introduced to her. This was Odd Fellows’ day at the fair. Members of the order and of the Rebekahs from neighboring towns be- gan arriving two days ago, and by 7:30 AT THE STATE {o'clock this evening the city was full of Odd Fellows and members of kin- | dred organizations. A monster parade | was held, traversing the principal| streets to the Pavilion. | The lodges turned out in full strength | and the parade was one of the largest | of the fraternal character ever seen in | this city. Edwood Bruner, past grand | master of the State, was the grand marshal. At the pavilion Agricultural Director Colonel Park Henshaw intro- | duced the officers of the various lodges | to his colleagues. During the evening | a reception was held by the Rebekahs | in the space reserved for such purposes where refreshments were served. The | reception committee of the Rebekahs | was as follows: | Mesdames H. C. Wolf, D. J. Mannix. | rlewine, W. H. Tade, Joseph W Johnson, Jennie Washburn, E. Brome Ida Olmsted, John Kromer and M. For- T and Hettle Wilson, | Norabell Timblin, Levinia Knight and | Lillle Kaufman. The entertainment features at the Pavilion to-night consisted of a special- ly prepared programme by the Expo- sition band. the musical Willards and trapeze performances by the Flying FARR Banvards. Miss Ollie Frost rendered a sailors’ hornpipe dance in fine style, and Eugene Coffin rendered a number of vocal selections. One of the principal features of the entertainment was a vocal solo by Mrs. Walter Longbottom of this city, which was superbly ren- dered. The programme for every after- noon in the Pavilion will consist of spe- cial entertainment for women and chil- dren, and which are beginning to be- come "very popular. To-morrow will be Commercial Trav- elers’ day. There will be a big parade and a special entertainment for them at the Pavilion. To-morrow night there will be ballots for the fattest, leanest, tallest, shortest and most popular drummer. An address will be made - by the State president. There vill also be several comical features, uch as nail driving and laughing con- tests. There will also be a cakewalk between a Mr. Wright and a Miss For- sythe and Coffin and Frost. mercial travelers have commenced celebrating to-night, and they are de- termined to make their day a com- plete success, a prediction that is shared by almost every one in any way acquainted with the merry travelers.

Special Dispatch to The Call ALL HEADQUARTERS, LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Considerable comment has been aroused here as a result of the failure of WEL- ry out the department's and it is feared that may result. , I learned to-day rporations are not asses: for the protection they re Not only tant passenger and freight rates. cents to nearly 15 cents per mile. Gen- eral Brooke himself has called the at- tention of the department to the ad- visability of reducing the tariff to a uniform rate which will enable the peo- ple of the island to freely use the roads. The result of the imposition of such a high tariff and.the exemption of the roads from taxation is that the railroads .are paying dividends of 15 and 20 per cent, and information re- :ived here shows that one of the roads paying a dividend of 3 and 4 per cent a month. In an official report to the War Department General Lee thus describes the railroads in the provinces under his command “There is a railroad from Reg- la across the harbor from Havana to Bejucal, then in a westerly direction by Guines to Matan: ; and still an- other from the city of Havana south. then west by to Guanjay, in the province of Pinar del Rio; and yet another which also runs in a southern direction from Ha- vana by Buira de Melena, then west- wardly to Pinar del Rio City. This is known as the Western Railroad. and. s far as I know, is an independent or- anization. “The stock in other railroads owned principally by Englishmen. addition to these railroads, there is also is one running from Havana some eight | miles to Mariano, and from that city north a few miles to the ocean. “There are in all 1160 miles of track- age on the island, not including subur- ban and plantation roads. and Spaniards are largely interested in railroad stock. I unde and the Van- derbilts have made arrangements for the purchase of a railroad in the prov- ince of Santiago de Cuba, but whether the deal has finaily been consummated is not known here. “It has been estimated that by the im- f a moderate tax on railroads rnal revenue derived from the quarter of a million dollars. So far as is known here. General Brooke has aken no action contemplating any tax upon the roads beyond the ticket and freight te which are paid by pas- senger or shipper. Instructions were sent to General Brooke some months ago to impose a land tax, but up to this time, so far as is known by the department, he has not carried them out. It is possible that he has been so busily engaged that he has not been able to get at this matter, or he may have taken action and not informed the department. In any event, to know just what General Brooke has done In this connection.” NEW ELECTRIC ROAD FOR PLUMAS COUNTY M. Delong Makes Application for a Franchise to the Board of Supervisors.

BY BELLS He Enters Mrs. S. M. Wilson’s Resi- dence, but Is Frightened Off by an Electrical Alarm. A bold burglar entered the residence of Mrs. Samuel M. Wilson, Til Pine street, shortly before midnight last night and while moving through the house set off a burglar alarm. Mrs. Wilson had just returned home when the tinkling of the bell reached her ears and she sent a ser- vant to heér room to investigate. He found the window open, but no one around and he so reported to his mistress. About g half hour later another burglar | alarm rahg and this time a Chinese ser- vant and the butler were sent to the din- ing room to investigate. On their en- trance they discovered a burly intruder, but were so frightened at the sight that they fled from his presence incontinently. Mrs, Wilson was possessed of more cour- age and she immediately communicated with the California street station and also aroused the neighborhood by blowing a police whistle. A squad of officers were soon on the scene and .th began a tematic but unsuccessful rch for the burglar. A thorough investigation showed that not a thing had been taken. It is believed that the burglar made his escape into the street immediately after his discovery. A description of him was given the police and it is expected he will soon be apprehended. —_——— Dental Coilege Officers. The California College of Dental Sur- gery last evening elected Dr. S. W.
