1t seems that reports to the effect that
General Otis will be relieved of COM
mand in the Philippines are untrue.
Reliable Information is to the effect
that, as a result of a conference be-
tween the secretary of war and the
President, It was decided that Otis
shall remain for a time, the President
desiring to give him more time. Ger
talnly the commander at Manila has
been sending in some favorable reports
Of late. and the decision seems just.
In connection with the announcement
1t is stated that II. within reasonable
time, the rebellion is not suppressed
sufficiently, the command may be turn
ed over to General Lawton, or some
other general. No mention is made of
the probability that General Miles him
self will go to Manila.
General Miles. it is thought, is needed
at present at Washington. He Is as
slstlng Secretary Root. and the new
secretary and the commanding general
are in perfect harmony. Incidentally,
1t may be remarked that. under the
new secretary. there is smoother rum
ming Of the war department. and good
feeling between himself and the com
mandlng general. Secretary Root is a
Judlclal-mlnded man. and not poll
tclan. which facts are much to his
credit.

Dramatic scenes are expected to-day
In the court.martIal trial Of Dreyfus,
when General Mercler win be placed
upon the witness stand, as the enemies
Of the prosecuted man are expecting
MercIer to throw a bombshell and
confound the accused" 1t Is recalled
that some time since the general de-
clared that he had complete proofs Of
the guilt of Dreyfus. and there win be
deep Interest everywhere, and on both
sides, to hear what he is holding back
and the precise character OF his evil
dence.
The friends Of Dreyfus do not. accord
ing to the dispatches. seem to be con-
cerned about the effectiveness Of Mer-
cIer's testimony, since he is regarded
as one of the chief conspirators. 1t is
expected by them that MERCER will
have his testimony torn to pieces by
the attorneys for Dreyfus. and that
their efforts will totally discredIt him.
One of the features OF the expected de-
velopments to-day, which Win add to
the dramatic interest, will be that
Dreyfus will have a privilege to ques-
ton this important witness, and 1t is
predicted that the captains cross-ex-
animation Of MercIer will bring the
proceedings to an extraordinary climax,
II not crisis.
1t is true that Dreyfus seems to be
physically strained by the inquiry,
where the determination by the con-
spIrators to maintain their course seems
to be so intense, but to-day he will
have, in the incident referred to. per-
sonal advantage which has been denied
him SO far, and the tide may turn.
Those who, upon two continents are in
terested In the outcome, will await the
report of Saturdays evidence with
more than ordinary interest. mainly
upon the account OF the personal par
tlcIpatlon by Dreyfus himself.

calamity. Hundreds of people were
drowned. and the wiping away Of towns
in Porto Rico and other Islands has left
many people homeless. It was true in

General Gomez, the Cuban patriot.
has poured, at a timely moment. some
good oil on troubled waters, by writing
an open letter denying that differences
exist between spanlards and cubans
and Americans In Cuba. He poses in
the altitude OF well-intentioned peace
maker, and is doubtless sincere when
he says he has remained in Cuba to
fulhll a great duty. He certainly In
dIcates that fact, when he counsels the
impatient population to realize that 1t
is not 1.-THE work OF day to organize
society; that there has been interven-
ton by a foreign nation for the sake
Of peace, and now the moment IS pro-
pidous." All who were previously
dIsunited should unite for the same
end, which is to form a council repre-
sentlng the soul of Cuba. He takes no
stock In the idea that the United
states contemplates robbing the Gu
hans Of their own, and he doesn't be-
lleve Il. Gomez declares that the Gu
bans. loft poor by the war, should only
dream Of work. and let bygones be by
cones. He wants TO see brother in
every man in Cuba.
Gomez is right, in at least one re-
spect, in denying the Impression that
the United States proposes to steal
cuba,-which. we presume, means that
this country proposes to forclbly annex
the Island. There is no such inten-
ton. The United States does not pro-
pose any such force business. II Cuba
is annexed to this country 1t win be
by the consent and application of the
Cuban people only. The old patriot does
not seem to be selfish, personally as
regards honors. II he is correctly re-
ported, In declaring to his son not to
trouble himself about his (Gomez's)
own future-that he is without ambl-
ton that could disturb his conscience.
and that he Is happy in the lot of
people who shall themselves be happy.
1t is very clear that should the time
come when Cuba should be annexed to
the United States Gomez would heart
lily favor it, rather than see Cuba itself
split by factions. or Incapable of self
government without internal discord.

several years ago were regarded as be-

state had produced for a long time.
There was great rivalry between these
men. and one day they were having a

"THE CRY FOR YOUNG MEN"
The Tendency of Modern Industry Is
tn Retire at an Early Age.

The Tendency OF Modern Industry Il
to Retire at an Early Age.
Gunton's Magazine for August: The
Chicago Chronicle has become some
what alarmed at what 1t calls the
"cry for Young Men," by which it
means the coming habit Of substituting
young men for the middle-aged and
old men in productive enterprises, De-
spite the disposition of such journals
as The Washington Post to pooh-pooh
this alarm, the Chicago Chronicle
raises u very important question. II Is
true that the tendency of modern IN
dustry Is to retire workmen at rela-
lively early age and fill their places
with young men. One great cause OF
this is the constant introduction OF rev.
olutionIzing methods and machinery
When a man has worked at an indus
try forty years. he Is not so alert IN
adapting himself to new machinery as
is a young man. The inevitable ten
dency Is to drop him out, and when
once out 1t is doubly difficult for him to
be re-employed except at some more
simple and lOwer-paid occupation.
This is one of the hard phases OF
rapidly progressive industrial era out
the remedy is not to stop the progress
or to insist that laborers shall be re-
tanned after they have ceased to be
useful The real remedy is system
OF insurance, the payment OF which
shall be part OF regular cost Of pro-
ductIon. II should begin when the
employe commences work, at whatever
age, and when he reaches a certain
point Of diminishing returns" or de-
clinIng economic efficiency. say at the
age of sixty. enable him to retire on at
least three-quarter wages This would
eliminate ali element of charity, dispel
the fear OF humiliating dependence In
old age, and relieve the employers from
the odlum OF heartlessly discharging
aged and faithful laborerS.
