PRAISE FOR YALE PLUCK.


This is a Harvard town but there is wanting
tonight no lack stint of praise for the Yale
pluck and dash that changed Harv ards con
fdence into bitterness and mourning For, un-
complimentary as the phrase may be to Yale.
Harvard men here feel virtually as If the game
were a Yale triumph. II certainly must be re-
garded as such when the heavy odds on Har-
ward are remembered. and when Yales weak
showing up TO only short time ago is borne
in mind. The record Of the game will go down
in the football world as tie but in the minds
Of Harvard men will nger longer the feeling
that TO their foes the major portion Of the
divided laurel wreath must be harded
Hats off to Yale is the general sentiment
on all sides and congratulations to both teams
upon the clean hard fought and sportsman
like game that they put up. Perhaps the most
striking feature Of this selfsame game was the
exact parallel 10 the nothing TO nothing game
that Harvard and Yale played on Soldiers Field
two years ago. Not only was the score Identical,
but the chief features Of the two fruitless
struggles resembled each other closely This
afternoon Harvard. by beautiful, steady work.
pushed the ball down close to Yae's line. but
could not score. Two years ago. in precisely
the same identical way. Harvard carried the
tide of battle far down the field close under the
shadow of Yale's foot line. but could not cross
it. Then. too in the second half Harvard took
a mighty brace in the last hve minutes Of play,
as was the case in 1897. and played with
ferceness that earlier in the game might have
saved the day. 1t is small consolation for Har-
ward men to say that they have never been
beaten on Soldiers Field. or that their goal to
DAY was not seriously menaced IT Is
quite true that Yale victory never seemed i'm
md I'd
rushing than did Yale and made many more
brilliant runs. But when II came TO scoring
Harvard failed for Yale. when the time came.

son for the belief, however, that II Is not
contemplated at this time to change the
status of Gen. Otis, and secretary Root
both In New York and here, is reported as
having declared that the subject of SUI
pcrseding Otis was not discussed by Gen.
Merritt and him, nor was II discussed by
the secretary and the President 1t Is
known that the President is aVerse to SUI

stances The Presidents adherence TO cts
is attributed by many persons, including
army officers. 10 the belief that in most
of his actions and movements Otis acted
in accordance with instructions
from Washington. Tho public un-
Outstanding is that no efforts were
mGde to send endorsements to tho
Philippines. because Gen. Otis persisted
IN the declaration that he had sufficient
trops to suppress the instruction. and
here is a suspicion that the President was
n sympathy with this belief Of Otis. which
sprung from an aversion to involve the
country III the extraordinary expenditures
that would attach to the recruiting and
organization of additional regiments, for
service in the Philippines. That Judgment
has proved erroneous, and Tia" President

lions dropped by Secretary Root and 9TH
ers in tho confidence of the President that,
when :hc campaign Is opened IN OCTOBER
or November new dispos itions will lao
made. which will virtually "elieve Otis
from direct responsibility for active opera

SEC. ROOT IN HIS OFFICE.
Relieve That He VIII Ee,tOrc to Gen.
Miles His Rights-Not Expected That
Gen. Otis W i'll he Removed.

Washington. Aug. 1l-Scoretary Root
was at his desk in the war department
yesterday, and for the first time took an
active part in the administration of his
office. General Miles was among the first
callers, and had a conference of nearly
one hour with the secretary upon military
affairs The greater part of the time was
occupied with a discussion of the order
of Secretary Alger relating to tho status
of the inspector Generals department,
The general pointed out that proper disCi-
pine of the army and the best interests
of the military service required the COM
manding general should have authority to
uircct inspections, and that the officers
OF the Inspectors department should he
within his jurisdiction. This would not of
necessity interfere with the general au-
thority of the secretary of war, which
extended to every department of the army
including the commanding general. But
il was essential that the latter should
have the authority to ascertain at all
times the various branches Of the line of
the army, and that all reports relating to
them should pass through his office. In
no other way could the commanding gem
oral be definitely and officially informed
of the condition of the army and he pre-
pared to mtclligontly perform his respon-
sble duties both to the army and to the
secretary and commandcr-in- chief.
After the conference with Gen. Mics
Secretary Root conferred with Assistant
Secretary McilNcjohn and Inspector Cen
cral Breckcnridg" upon the same subject.
No announcement WAS made of the result
of these conferences. 1t Is understood
/ however. that while no decision was made
by the secretary he is favorably impress
ed with the presentation made by General
Miles, and the belief prevails that the
changes desired by that officer i'm the or

PRICE OF CORN STILL FIRM.
Good Export Dema nd Offsets tho Pros
pect Of Large suppl.

New York. Aug. 11.-Rradstrcet's to-
morrow vii say:
crop reports and probabilities have con-
stituted an important contribution TO gem
eral tsdde and business ddvices this week.
Among the unquestouably favorable fea-
lures have been the reports regard ing the
corn crop, government estimates pointing
to IL yield of probably 22o.c00.0C0 bushels il
heavy increase over last year and almost
within touch of the rccoSd total Of 1886.
Dcspit. this prospect Of an immense yield.
however, prices have heen fairly well held.
and cash corn has been strong en- export
demand. Spring wheat indications 8ppa-
gently bear out earlier trade advices in
showing decrease in condition during
July. The reduction Of 25,0O0,0C0 bushels in
the probable outcome estimated. however,
still allows of Il total wheat crop of 81.
00000 bushels considerably smaller, ii is
true than last years, but with the cXcep-
ton of 1898 and Of ISL the heaviest re-
corded. Pending the appearance of the
government report wheat was rather dull
and the comparative Indifference with
which the report was received would point
10 trade agreement as to there being suiii-
Gent wheat to mea; foreign and domes tic
demand At about Curr at prices.
Cotton crop deterioration is indicated
by the governments report. and prices are
a cent higher on the week on a decline
of Yearly four points over July and OF
nearly Il points as compared with a year
ago Visible supplies of cotton are nearly
500 bales larger than at this time year
ago and are nearly double what they were
in 1919, but against this is to be cited the
generally profitable business in manu-.
featuring lines the world over and the be
lief that good spinning grades may be
scarce. Reflection of the good business
in American cotton manufacturing come
from Fan River in the report of payment
of increased quarterly dividends by "A ma
joity of the mills. With the exception OF
wheat the other grain crops. and parti
cularly oats, barley and buciwheat made
fair progress during July and the condi
tion OF these and of potatoes and hay |:
better than year ago at this date.
Hides. leather, boots and shoes are sym
pathetically strong. and at a convention
of shoe manufacturers at Philadelphia
this week a practical agreement to ad
vance prices of the finished product wa:
reached. Wool Is firm on steady manu-
featuring demand. particularly for thu
