The president is still vascillating on the question of the command in the Philippines. Adiutaut-General Corbin is using his influence for the retention of General Otis, while Secretary Root favors sending General Merritt to supercede Otis in the direction of mil itary operations in Luzon. The con census of opinion in the United States is that General Otis has been failure in conducting the campaign against the Fillipinos, and almost any change there wonld be welcomed It seems to be pretty well established that the cam pa,gn about Manila has been practi- cally a failure, that General Otis by enforcing strict censorship over the news sent from Manila has succeeded in grossly misrepresenting the facts, aud that he has antogonized the officers under his command Robert NJ. Col. lins, correspondent at Manila of the Associated Press, says: ''Otis is q bnreancrat who never leaves his desk, has never seen his soldiers ill the field, a small man left to deal with the more delicate problems, requiring broad stntesmanship." If the administration expects success fer the Americans in the winter campaign it should lose nc time in placing competent man ir command of tbe army in the Philip pines.

Messrs. De Young and Geraty of New

and Talk With rIerChantS.

On Monday afternoon the mystery
surrounding the indemnity of the pas
senger and freight steamship company
that has leased the Lonsdale wharf
property was more completely dissipat-
ed by the News. which furnished the
exclusive information that the corpor-
alton that was coming to Providence
was the New Haven Steamboat COM
pany. generally known as the "New
Haven Line" and giving at that time
detailed information OF the boats own
ed and controlled by the company, and
also stating the names OF the gentle
men at the head OF the line, including
President Chester w. Chaplin.
Now other publications have awaken
ed to the fact that the New Haven line
is the company about which so much
mystery Was male, -apd=tAey- have fl

Interesting Address Before Beacon REl Improve

At the meeting of the Beacon Hill
Improvement association held last eve-
ming, in Highland chapel, Larch street,
Mr.. James X. MacColl, OF Pawtucket,
formerly a resident OF Glasgow, Scot
land, spoke upon the Municipal Cow
ernment Of Glasgow"
He said in substance that rental and
taxation are the bass of franchise. The
voter is always taxpayer. This gives
the voters interest in the character OF
the men they are voting for. Most COM
plants in Glasgow are adjusted by the
assessor. who has practically life ten
ure OF office. The assessor could not
be the man he is IL he was TO be affect
ed by every change in the political par
ties. The city council is both the legis-
lative and the executive body. The
mayor is elected by the council, and
has not the power OF veto. The council
selects IA constables or bailiffs, who act
as police court judges, etc. Primaries
and caucuses are unknown. This elm
ination OF state fro mcity politics i'm
what is responsible for the good gov
ernment i'm Glasgow The people have
voice in the government, for one
member Is elected from each ward
At the conclusion of the lecture there
was a general discussion, after which
a committee was appointed 10 nominate
officers for the coming year. Prior to

and cake were served through the
courtesy of President Sisson.
