General Otis conditions for press dis
patches We're so outrageously dishonest
that l refused to send any dispatches, pre-
ferring to let the journal be beaten rather
than tc telegraph official lies.
The most extraordinary thing is that
up to the time 1 left Manila. which was
after the capture of Malolos by Macarthur
and Santa Cruz by Lawton, Gen. Otis had
never been at the front
Imagine this Jealous clerk, who never
went outside the city, directing with abso-
| lutely tyrannical exactitude the operations
of divisions commanded by soldiers like
Lawton and Macarthur.
l knew from my own association with
both divisions in the field that Gen. Otis
treated the generals as though they were
school boys
on his way to the Philippines to command
all the troops in the field as corps COM
mander, every member of the little clique
surrounding Otis was busy belittling Law
ton.
When Lawton arrived Otis refused to as
sign him to any command for five days,
although there was heavy fighting. Law
ton begged permission to take part In 1t,
sary.
1 asked Otis what Lawton's status was
and why he was not assigned.
Gen. Lawton Is merely an off1cer re-
porting to me for ORDERS" he replied, and
when 1 get ready to give him orders he'll
know what his status is.
Otis jealousy of Lawton was so plain
as to be childish. For several weeks Otis
never consulted him, nor gave him the
slightest information regarding the plans
of the campaign.
The truth of the situation is that Gen.
Otis is regarded by. practically the whole
army, officers and privates alike, as an in
competent officer who sacrifices everything
to serve his own vanity and jealousy.
1 do not speak with the slightest feeling
against Gen. Otis. whom l believe to be
painstaking Industrious and, according to
his own light, patriotic.
|. Otis Best Work.
He has accomplished great deal in reg
ulating the municipal affairs of Manila, but
his conduct, or, rather, non-conduct of the
military campaign has been a series of
blunders, due partly to timsdity and lack
of experience, partly to jealousy of other
officers and partly TO his incurable habit of
wasting his time correcting press dispatches
and doing a clerks work, while generals in
the field, powerless to move without his or
ders are waiting for him to make up his
mind in his office how to fight the enemy.
When l complained to Gen. Otis that he
was striking out Of my dispatches things I

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

One Side of LarEin's Brain Was De-
ficent.
Expert testimony was introduced yester-
day in the Larkin case. Drs. Wells, Sic
vers and Sheeran testified. Wells and
Sievers performed the autopsy on Lar
kin's remains at the insane asylum, where
Larkin died in 1898. Both doctors discov-
cred the condition of the brain and found
it deficient the left hemisphere being
much smaller than the right. The left
was shrunken, while the right was of
better consistency, was of normal weight
and size, but soft. The difference in size
OF the two hemispheres indicated degener-
alton. The examination of the brain,
heart liver and kidneys indicated that
the mental faculties of the man were we'll
nigh gone.
Dr. Wells told about Larkin's queer ac-
tions while he was being treated at Wells
hospital. He said the man was in a bad
way generally when taken to the hospi-
tai He was filthy and displayed unmis
taxable signs of insanity. But after rest
ing up, taking a series of baths and par
taking of wholesome nourishment the pa

of the rates is nothing but fairness to
the small stock owners of the country
between the Missouri river and the
Rocky mountains. The railroad mana
gers are determined to try new tariff
with these rates left out. All the big
stockmen of the West can do will not
prevent this, so the railroad men as
sert. General Manager Dickinson of
the Union Pacific, General Manager
Holdeeg of the Burlington and General
Manager Bidwell of the Elkhorn are
unit on this subject. They admit. how
ever, that, like all other new tariffs,
the schedule to be promulgated May %
cannot be said to be permanent, but
they will at least give it thorough
trial.
The report comes from Wall street
that assurance has been given that the
Canadian parliament will not allow the
Great Northern to enter British Co
lumbia, which is one reason for the
present activity in Canadian Pacific
stock. The Canadian road, however,
realizes that sooner or later the Great
Northern will get into British Column
ba and the competition will be very
lively, SO it is taking full advantage Of
its present undisputed control to COM
plete it's links. extend lines to the rich
est territory and branch out in all d.
rections where the Great Northern will
more likely seek a foothold.
The Great Northern meanwhile Is lay
ing its ropes carefully in anticipation
of a charter. which may be granted at
the next session of parliament. British
Columbia is encouraging the Great
Northern in every way and bringing
strong pressure to bear on parliament
on its behalf. The Canadian Pacific is
building many branches and contem-
plates many more. Those actually
needed by the awakening ore industry
are not half the mileage the Canadian
Pacific has in mind. That whole min
ing country is gridironed and cross-sec-
toned with surveying lines. Next to
Northern Minnesota it is believed the
Great Northern will be the most active
there in point of construction as soon
as it gets a chance.

Albert Gardner Robinson, a news
