OTIS NOT TO BE REMOVED.
II Is Announced That He VIII Remain
in Command In the Phil
ippines,

NEW YORK. July 25-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
The president has no intention of re-
lieving General Otis from the military COM
mand In the Philippines. He had thought
seriously at one time of assigning an Off
Ger OF high rank to command the forces in
the field. leaving General Otis to perform
the administrative duties of governor gem
eral. The president had two, propositions
Defore MIN. one to make Iawton the COM
mandlng officer of the fighting forces and
the other to send Merritt back to his old
place. The latter assignment would mean
ernor general to General Merritt, who out
ranks him by regular as well as volunteer
title. Both these ideas have now been aban-
doned
Speaking for the president, a cabinet
officer, said: why should General Otis
asking to be sent back to the United
States? The president has had no reason
to find fault with his work. 1t is true he
has not ended the war, but he has GER
tainly made much progress and has shown
himself equal to every emergency. He has
and by the manner In which he has pro-
vided for his army has shown himself cap
able of handling large bodies of men. To
remove him now would be an admission
that he had failed. We cannot admit this,
for certainly the official dispatches from
of our line far beyond the points controlled
by Spain. To place new commander in
control of the troops and make him inde-
pendent of General Otis would cause no
end of friction. There can be but cne
intrusted with plenary powers and I can
to intrust General Otis with those pow
ers."

has reached serious conditions. Iders sur

missiles were thrown at the vehicles. Two
of the messengers have been stabbed, sew
eral hurt by missiles and many badly
beaten.
The newsboys to-day joined the strike
offices and refused to let the new boys go
out with papers. The papers were torn
up and destroyed as fast as they were
turned over to the rev boys. and in some
instances the new boys were treated rough
ly. HoodlumS from all parts of the city
gathered in large numbers.
The hoedlums that gathered in Fountain
square by the thousands tonight on ac-
count of the strike were dispersed by call
ing most of the police for a charge on them
about 10, p. m. Previous to that time a
number of persons were hurt by missiles,
among them Lieutenant Popp. who suf-
fered a cash in the face. The striking
messengers were addressed tonight at
Workmam hall by Mayor TAFT, Chief
Deitch President Rist, of the Central
Labor Council, Organizer Newman and
others. The striking messengers will seek
a compromise tomorrow afternoon, but the
newsboys have no arrangements yet for
arbitration. No papers We're sold on the
streets here to-day.

MISSOURI CROPS DOING WELL
Drouth in Southern Counties Broken
by Copious Rafns-Chinchbugs
Doing Some Damage.

COLUMBIA, MO-. July 25.-(SpeciaD
The crop bulletin of the weather bureau
for the week ending July "a says:
This has been another favorable week
for Missouri agriculturists. Local showers
and heavy rains have occurred in the
southern districts, relieving the drouth
that had blighted corn and parched gar
dens and pastures in Newton, Stone and
Ozark and counties contingent to them.
The rainfall has been exceptionally heavy,
amounts ranging from two to six inches
being reported in localities and causing
some damage by overflows in bottoms and
to wheat and oats in shock. The rains
were continuous from the Goth to the I'D.
Chinch bugs continue detrimental in To-
calities. Very little wheat remains unhar-
vested. Threshing is in progress gener-
ally, and the grain and yield are turning
out in some respects better than expected.
The harvesting of oats and hay has ad-
vanced, with generally good results. A
splendid crop of timothy is being cut and
is mostly saved in good order. Flax is a
good crop, and cutting is progressing. Re-
ports concerning millet are generally sat
isfactory. Gardens are improved, and pas
lures continue in fair condition except III
the northeast district. Fruits are gener-
ally inferior, especially apples, which are
wormy, knotty and dropping.

Lawn Golf.



Those who are anxious to learn the game
of golf without all the violent exercise
and immense amount of tramping up hill
and down dale which the real thing calls
for. will welcome the new game of lawn
golf.
OF course, golf cranks and enthusiasts
will scoff at it, but lawn golf will give be-
ginners very good idea of the rules of
the game. and from this they may graduate
into full-fiedged golfers.
Lawn golf is played with a small-sized
golf ball and implements something like
golf clubs. The course can be laid out on
an ordinary lawn, or even in a drawing
room, and constantly altered at will. In
place of bunkers little fences provide the
holes of an ordinary putting green there
are saucers of tin, with holes in their CEN
ters
The saucers are turned upside down in
any desired position, and, as might be
imagined, it is no easy matter to get the
ball into them
