MERRITT STORY REVIVED
Secretary Root Said to Favor Bring
ing Otis HOme.
If the Change Is Made 1t VIII Be
Under the Pretcxt of Assembling
All the Philippine Commissioners
-heticence mt the War Department
in Regard to the Rumored Policy.

The return of Secretary Root to Wash
ington after his consultation with the
President has revived the reports that
General Otis will not conduct the active
military campaign in the Philippines next
fall. These reports have been given color
by Secretary Roots consultation with
General Merritt in New York and the i'm
preston among Army officers is that Gen
eral Merritt's views on the proper course
to pursue in the islands was solicited by
Mr.. Root.
The Secretary Of War. when asked last
night about the report that General Mer-
ritt would assume command of the forces
IN the Philippines, replied that General
Merritt had not even made the suggestion.
Secretary Root said, however, that he did
not care to discuss at this time the ques-
tion of General Otis probable return to
the United States. He said that the cam
paign next fall will be pushed with vigor,
and that everything will be done to bring
the insurrection to speedy close.
1t is the opinion of many War Depart
ment officials that Secretary Root is really
anxious TO have General Merritt take active
command of the operations against the
Philippines, but that in view of General
Otis record under adverse circumstances
he believes it would be unjust to send
anyone to Manila in his place.
1t Is regarded at the department as
almost certain that If anyone does sue
ceed General Otis in command of the mill
tary operations it will be General Merritt.
Both President Mckinley and Secretary
Root have the greatest confidence in Gen.
eral Merritt, and it is believed that with
him at the head of the army and General
Otis in Manila as Governor General OF the
islands the insurrection will be quickly
suppressed
The opinion is expressed that General
Otis will be compelled to return to Wash
ington to take part in the conference of
the Philippine Commission. Admiral Dew
ey recently cabed in reply to an invitation
to visit one of the Western cities that he
would be occupied some time in Washing
!, ton as member of the Philippine Commits
sion, which will meet here On the return
to the United States of its members. If
this proves to be the case, the Commission
| is not likely to meet with all its members
present except General Otis. and he might,
therefore, be called back to the United
| States aud General Merritt sent to Manila
to take command.
| Friends OF General Merritt say that if he
! goes to Manila he will not be contented
with the Philippine army as now provided
| for, but will ask for the full force of $4,000
| volunteers IL addition to the regulars al
/ ready under orders for service there.

LYNCHERS' VICTIM BURIED.
Thomas Body Consigned to Earth
without Minister or Bearers.

Without Minister or Bearers.
Alexandria, Aug. 10.-Affairs in this city
have assumed a normal condition. and but
little apprehension of further trouble on
account of the lynching of Benjamin
Thomas on Tuesday night is felt. The
body OF the victim of the infuriated mob
was inferred in Penny Hill at 10 o'clock
this morning. The pine coffin was con-
yeyed to the paupers' burying ground in an
undertaker's wagon. There were no pail
bearers or minister in attendance and no
one shed tear over the grave.
Several co1ored women were in front of
the undertaker's room when the body vas
removed. They INDUCED in loud talk, and
appeared to be in an ugly mood. The
mother of Thomas had stated that she
did not want to see the remains.
While citizens do not apprehend trouble
from the colored people, many wild rumors
have been circulated today, and numerous
colored servants have refused TO return TO
their work in the homes of white families.
The mother of Thomas, who resided next
TO the Clark home has removed TO Pendie-
ton Street The agent for the property va
Gated by the Thomas family visited the
premises today. A quantity OF comnusti0ie
material was found in one OF the rooms IL
was removed and the house was securely
closed. Although all danger of friction be-
tween the races is thought to have passed,
a guard is continued at the armory OF the
Alexandria Light Infantry, and large
force of armed men would appear in the
streets at the slightest intimation Of trou-
BILE.
George Hammond, colored, who was shot
in the back when the negroes attempted a
charge on the mob of whites at the jail, on
Tuesday night, was removed to the lnfirma-
ry today for treatment. His wound Is
not thought to be serious, and au attempt
was made to keep the matter quiet.

MILES MAKES OBJECTION
Secretary Root Likely TO Change
Mr.. Ayers Orders.
The Commanding General Points
Ont n Few of the Former War Min
General ReguIations-The Probable
Result of a short Conference.

General Miles was one of the first callers
on Secretary Root yesterday morning 1t
is understood that the purpose OF his visit
was to call Mr.. Roots attention to the
recent changes made by Mr.. Alger in the
regulations affecting the Inspector Cen
erals Department of the Army. General
Miles made particular objection to the
amendment made by Mr. Alger relieving
the Major General Commanding the Army
from all authority over inspectors generals.
The conference between the Secretary OF
War and General Miles lasted nearly half
an hour. General Miles declines. however,
to sayS6nything about the matter under
consideration.
1t is learned that Secretary Roots at
tention was called to the acts OF Congress
regulating the Inspector Generals Depart
ment, and it was pointed out that as far
back as Madison's Administration the
Major General of the Army was accorded
authority over inspectors general. This
was by an act of Congress and received
the approval of President Madison. Sub
sequent acts of Congress have retained
the same authority, and it is claimed that
Mr.. Alger did not have any authority
whatever for making a change in reguia-
tions passed by Congress and approved by
the President of the United States.
1t was stated at the War Department last
night that the order as issued by Secretary
Alger Will be materially changed. and will
continue the authority of the Major Gen
eral Commanding to direct inspections by
officers of the Inspector Generals Depart
ment. The amendments may be made 10
Algers order, but it is more probable that
Secretary Root will mt allOw the order 10
be issued, but will merely issue Cne over
his own name making the necessary
changes in the regulations. but not striking
out the clause giving the General Com
manding authority over inspectors general
who are unassigned.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Miss Frances MiIler's CocIness Prob
ably Saved Her Life.


Miss Frances Miller, daughter of John
Miller. a coal, wood and lumber dealer,
residing at 234 New Jersey Avenue south
east, figured in an exciting runaway about
7:3O o'clock last night. Miss Miller had
narrow escape from death.
At the corner of Eighth and East Capt.
tol Streets the horse she was driving fell,
overturning the trap and throwing Miss
Miller to the sidewalk. The wheel of the
vehicle passed over her right arm, Sc
verely bruising it and leaving a number of
bad cuts, but no bones were broken. The
young woman was assisted into Steele S
drug store, directly in front OF which the
accident occurred, where her injuries were
dressed by DR.. Lothrop. When Miss Miller
had recovered from the shock she was
driven to her home by her father in the
same trap in which she had nearly lost her
life
The horse and the vehicle were unin-
jrred. The affair attracted a large crowd
along the route of the runaway, and the
skillful and determined manner in which
Miss Miller managed the maddened ami
NAL excited the admiration of those who
witnessed the affair. Mr.. Miller and his
daughter had stopped for few minutes
at the residence of Capt. n. G. Thayer. of
241 Eighth Street southeast. Mr.. Miller
left the trap to speak to Captain Thayer,
leaving Miss Frances seated in the trap.
During his absence the horse took fright
and dashed madiy up Eighth Street.
A policeman who made report of the
affair last night said that the speed of
the runaway horse was at least twenty
miles an hour. Miss Miller stood up in the
light trap and with the lines wrapped
around both hands attempted to keep the
animal straight. Numerous attempts were
made on the part of those on the street
to stop the horse, but they were unsuc-
cessful. When East Capitol Street was
reached the runaway horse turned to the
right down East Capitol Street, where it
slipped on the car tracks, overturning the
trap and throwing the occupant TO the
pavement. Those who had witnessed the
affair expected to find that Miss Miller
had been killed. and were surprised when
| the slight extent Of her injuries was made
known.
