THE peril of the soldiers of the 31st

should have been obliged TO fight day

against fearful odds and to do the

United States and Canada have. Just
ut this particular moment, drifted
apart in one respect. Thanksgiving
is festival which was established
long before the revolution in the
American colonies, and consequently
il was and is as much of an observed
holiday for the Canucks as for the
Yankees. Previous to this year. the
practice has been to appoint the same
day on both sides of the line, but this
year the Canadian government yielded
to the demands of the people, who
thought that Nov. 30 was pretty late

Advices from Washington Say the
President Will Soon Remove
the Present Commander.
)EwEY WILL BECOME An ADVISER.
The Admiral Has Decided Views Upon the
Manner in Which Operations should he
Conducted In tho Philippines and His
Opinion Of Otis Is Not = High One. II
Ii Reliably Stated.

Cincinnati, Sept. 27.-According TO
the Washington correspondent of the
commercial-Tribune there is more oc-
.asion to believe now than there has
Deen at any time hitherto that Gen.
Otis is to be superseded in the Philip
pines. The chances are that the change
will take place some time before active
operations are resumed. In some quar-
iers it is stated that it will take place
within the next ten days, though it:is
hardly possible that the president
would make the change before he re-
.urns from his western trip. The rainy
season will not be over until about the.
list of December, and there is really Eog
necessity for making the changs befora
chen.
1t is extremely likely that Admiral
Dewey will become the presidents ad-
wiser in Washington on the Philippine
question. Dewey has won the conf
dence of the people, and it. is known
that he has decided views on the Philip
pine question and upon the manner in
which the operations should be con-
Quoted there. His opinion of Otis is
not a high one.
The president was extremely dis
pleased at Otis action in the Chinese
case, and, it is understood, has repri-
handed Otis for presuming to shape
the foreign policy of the United States.
Otis has been told to forward a full
explanation of his action in the case
and, meanwhile, the Chinese are to be
admitted to the islands without recog-
nizing the right of the Chinese govern
ment to demand their admission.
AS far as a successor to Otis is con-
cerned it is the merest conjecture to
mention anyone. The chances are,
however, that no successor will be sent
from this side of the water.
