Strsne Pressure 10 Being Msae to Ef-

Strsns Pressure is Being Made to Ef-
feet chssRe In Philippines.
A special to the Fort Worth Regis
ter from Washington says:
"A great deal of pressure 10 being
brought to bear on the president and
Secretary Root to recall Otis, or at
least to entrust him only with purely
civil duties. Nothing has developed,
however, to show that the administra-
ton is not satisfied with him. There
is an undercurrent of feeling in mill
tary circles against the continuance
of Otis as commander and the presi-
dent and Secretary Root have not
been unminded of this. The main
argument advanced by those wish
ing to have Otis relieved is that the
rebellion must be crushed before the
end of the coming dry season. 1t is
held that the government must not
risk the chance of another long wait
through second rainy season with
the insurrection unsurpassed, and
they declare that such a risk will be
taken if Otis is retained.
THE most conservative of the ad-
visers of the administration contend
that Otis must not be sacrificed be-
cause he failed to put down the in
surrection in a few months of the
dry season that remained after the
outbreak. Friends of General Miles
are urging his appointment to the
command. They contend that it
would not be a reflection on Otis, in
asmuch as it is eminently proper for
the highest commander of the army
to assume charge. General Miles
has had several conferences with
Secretary Root recently, and it is be-
lieved that thev related to the situa-
ton in the Philippines. He had two
conferences with the secretary to-
day. Secretary Root refused to talk
and all that Miles will say is if it ia
agreeable to the president he would
like to go to the Philippines. He
declares that ne has not asked to be
sent"

A RACE FOR LIFE.
Bicycle Rider Saves a Child From Death
Beneath Car Wheels.

Glen Cove, l.. l.. Sept. An
exciting race for life between a
bike and train on the long Island
railroad took place yesterday after
noon between this place and Mas
sua. 1t was down grade and the
train was going at a high rate of
speed when the engineer looked
ahead ard discovered a child play
on the track, needless of all danger.
Engineer Smith saw it was impos-
sible to stop the train. but contin-
ually blew the whistle. George
T. Smith of South Orange, n. j.,
was riding along a fOotpath paral-
lei with the track on his wheel.
The shrieking of the whistle at
tracted his attention and he pres
emily saw the cause of it.
Smith raced down the path at
top speed and when opposite the
child threw himself on the track,
grabbed her up and then rolled
over and over down the enibank-
ment. Just as he cleaI ed the
track the locomotive went by.
Smith and the child were practic-
ally uninjured.
