Th (S VOLUME 3. NUMBER 57. WALLAGE QUITS CANAL CHIEF ENGINEER AND MEMBER OF COMMISSION TENDERS HIS RESIGNATION. REFUSES TO DISCUSS REASONS ACTION SAID TO HAVE FOLLOWED STORMY INTERVIEW WITH SECRETARY TAFT. New York, June 28.—John F. Wal- lace, chief engineer of the Panama canal and member of the commission, has resigned both these positions' to eccept a2 $60,000 office with a New York corporation. "Mr. Wallace was usked the cause of his resignation. He repiied that he was in a delicate posi- tion in the matier and referred his questicner to Secretary Taft. Mr. Wallace’s resignation is said to have heen handed to Secretary Taft in this city after a rather stormy con- ference, during which Mr. Wailace is said to have expressed his ideas of what should be doné on the isthmus in very concise language. K is under- stood that Engineer Wallace will at F. WALLACE, Jenx once take charge of a large railway system in this country and that Theo- dore P. Shouis will remain as presi- dent of the canal commission. As to the cause for Engineer Wal- lace’s resignation there are two ver- sions, one coming from friends of some of the canal commissioners, the other from friends of Mr. Wallace, The first is to the effect that it was requested because of differences be- tween the chief engineer, members of the commission, Secretary Taft and, through the Ilatter, with President Roosevelt, The other version deals with hampering orders. 2 jon a hwried trip to the East. ‘MR. HAY RESTING ' QUIETLY. Secretary Will Not Be Around as Soon as Anticipated. Newbury, N. H, June 28.—The an- nduncement is made from the summer home of Secretary of State Hay that the patient passed a comfortable night and that the morning found him rest- ing quietly, much refreshed from the night's sleep. Although Mr. Hay’s sleep was but intermittent his repose resulted in the regaining of consider- able strength. It was not believed, however, that the secretary would be about as soon as had been anticipated. The arrival of a nurse and of a physi- clan from Boston during the night was a result of the belief that the sec- retary would undoubtedly need the most careful nursfng and medical at- tention during the coming days. The family does_not, however, apprehend any danger whatsoeyer from Mr. Hay's illness, but they realize that the at- tack of uraemia on Saturday, follow- ing as it did a period of illness for which Mr. Hay went abroad for treat- ment, weakened the secretary’s phy- sical power and necessitated at least that he remain quietly in bed for sev- eral days. DISASTERS IN DEATH VALLEY. Supply of Water This Season. Goldfield, Nev., June 2§—Prospec- tors coming into Bull Frog report that they found two men wandering aim- lessly about in Death valley, down be- yond the Funeral range.

IN QUARREL OVER LAND. - Wife of Wealthy Nevadan Fatally Wonds Attorney. Goldfield, Nev., June 28.— Mrs. Phoenlx, the wife of a prominent Gold- field reai estate man who owns all | the land between Goldfield and Colum- bia, shot and probably fatally wound- ed Attorney Hayes of Goldfield. Hayes had “jumped” a lot belonging to the Phoenix addition and refused to leave, claiming to have the legal right to remain. Mrs. Phoenix at- tempted to eject him and being unable to do so by physical force procured a revolver and shot him. She then coolly !walked down town and when arrested was eating an ice cream soda. Mrs. - Phoenix was held without bail. ATTORNEY WHITE NOT DEAD. | Prominent Des Moines Lawyer Work- ing on a Farm. Des Moines, June 28.—Virgil H. White, a well known Des Moines at- torney, who disappeared two weeks 2go, leaving an overturned canoe and portions of clothing to indicate a pos- sible drowning, has been located at Independence, 150 miles west of here, and positively identified as the miss- ing man. White has been working on a farm and says he does not wish to return home. B. C. Hume, White’s law partner, says the young man is deranged. He will probably return to Des Moines within a few days. T0 DEPOSE STRIKE LEADER TEAMSTERS’ EXECUTIVE BOARD 8AID TO FAVOR OUSTING PRESIDENT SHEA. Chicago, June 28.—The Post says: Formal removal of International Pres- ident C. P. Shea of the Brotherhood of Teamsters has been decided upon by the international executive board. The anti-Shea leaders in the committee practically have voted to depose the leader. A “trial” has been held and President Shea has been found guilty of violating the constitution and by- laws of the teamsters’ organization. There is no appeal from the action of the international committee. It is planned promptly to announce the finding of “guilty” and to declare the office of president vacant until Shea’s successor shall be elected at Philadel- bhia in Auguse. For weeks the international board has been opposed to Shea and his methods. Fear that the move to de- pose the leader would make him a “martyr” among the rank and file and insure his re-election as president caused members of the board to post- pone their action. Monday night’s un- equivocal vote of the department store drivers and the striking express wagon drivers against accepting the latest settlement offers of the employers and the palpable return to power of Lead- er Shea, so far as the rank and file of the teamsters is concerned, determined the board to act. The specific charge against Presi- dent Shea is calling a strike contrary to the constitution and making ex- penditures of the brotherhood’s money contrary to the terms of the constitu- tion and bylaws. M. J. Dwyer, a member of the inter- national board, who has not been in Chicago since the board was sum- moned, is likewise under suspension. He was tried by his colleagues of the board and denied the right to sit in the councils of the teamsters. The law of the teamsters’ organization glves the board the right to declare President Shea’s place vacant. THREATENS TO . SPREAD. Chicago Strike May Affect One Thou- sant! More Teamstcrs. Chicago, June %8.—The spread of the teamsters’ strike to include 1,000 drivers of local express and small de- livery wagons is a possibility. An ulti- matum has been delivered by the teamsters and the employers have called a special meeting to return.an answer. Sentiment was strongly in favor of a fight. The trouble with the delivery drivers started when a wagon belonging to Page Bros. Express company hauled a load of tobacco to a strike affected firm. President Shea immediately sent a committee to wait on the ex- press concern with a demand that de- liveries to strike affected firms cease. The Page Bros. company is a mem- ber of the Furniture Movers and Ex- pressmen’s association, comprising 200 emplovers and nearly 1,000 teams. +The union. commitiee threatened to call & strike against the entire asso- clation. 2 ON A CHARGE OF LARCENY.

Petersburg, June 28.—There is a complete embargo on news from Lodz, but, generally speaking, the situation In Russian Poland shows a little im- provement. Such advices as have ar- rived here from Warsaw indicate that the strike is only partially successful and that the authorities are keeping the situation pretty wellin hand. The ringleaders and agitators are being arrested by the wholesale, over a thou- sand having been put behind the bars 50 far. e Following the example of the Lodz workmen the workmen of Warsaw built barricades at five places and blood was shed in defending them. A young Jew threw a stone at a passing patrol on Krochmalna street, where- upon the Cossacks drove a crowd of people into a courtyard and fired a volley at them, killing or wounding twenty persons, including five women and a boy. = The strikers of the Boamanshvede factory, on being fired on by the son of the proprietor, retaliated by wreck- Ing the establishment. Great pains are being taken to ap- pease the reserve men who will be called to the colors at the forthcoming mobilizalion in Moscow and St. Peters- burg. At Moscow, in order to create as little disturbance as possible, it is” proposed to take 1,500 men per day for twenty days. The Grand Duchess Elizabeth is arranging to distribute presents Lo the men and a similar course will be pursued at Remny, gov- ernment of Poltava. NO HOPE OF A VIGTORY RUSSIAN EXPERTS REGARD LINE- VITCH’S RETIREMENT TO HARBIN CERTAIN. s St. Petersburg, June 28.—The mili- tary experts take anything but a hope- tul view of General Linevitch's situa- tion. They do not believe he can be surrounded, but apparently the experts do not consider the possibility of a Russian victory. Linevitch’s retire. ment to Harbin and the isolation of ‘Vladivostok seem #o be regarded as foregone conclusions when Field Mar- shal Oyama strikes. According to the latest news from the front, which is thirty-six hours old, Oyama, after forc- ing back the Russian right and center, transferred his weight against the left, compelling the Russians to .give ground there also. The military crit- ics, however, agree that the frontal movement is merely a feint for the envelopment of one or both of the Russian wings, without which nothing in the shape of a decisive victory is possible. The.- impression is that Oyama, profiting by past experience, is more carefully preparing his turn- ing operations, but by the same token the Russian staff declares Linevitch has taken amrle precautions to keep in touch v.ith Lianking movements and that it is not possible to take him by surprise. Occasional heavy downpours of rain continue at the front. : Géneral Linevitch, in a dispatch to the emperor dated June 26, reports outpost affairs on June 24, the Rus- sians being driven in both south of the railway and in the valley of the Tsinhe. In the region of Haillingchen the Japanese resumed the offensive June 22 and attacked and drove back the Russian advance squadrons. WARSAW PRISONS. FILLED.

Chicago, June 28—Graeme Stewart, a leader in Chicago’s commercial, po- litical and social life, two years ago a candidate for mayor on the Repub- lican ticket and a member of the ex- ecutive committee of the national Re- publican committee from 1900 to 1904, died at his residence here early in the day after a month’s illness. He was fifty-two years old. * & On the evening of May 24 Mr. Stew- art was seated at a table in the ban- quet hall of the Auditorium hotel, one of the guests at an elaborate dinner glven by the Bankers’ club. He had just completed the task of collecting the $128,000 guaranty promised by the Merchants’ and Commercial clubs to the United States government in or- der to bring the lake naval station to Lake Bluff, Ili., and was receiving the congratulations of his friends. Just as Paul Morton, secretary of-the navy, was praising the Panama canal policy of President Roosevelt Mr. Stewart gasped and sank inertly into his chair. Physicians announced that he had suf- fered from an attack of acute indiges- tlon, combined with a slight conges- tion of the brain, and within a few days he seemed to be well on the road toward complete recovery. Another :ttack brought on a relapse. A third followed a few days ago and since then Mr. Stewart’s life had been slow- 1y ebbing away. Alleged Train Robbers Arrested.

Stockholm, ‘Sweden, June 28—A Joint committee of the two houses of the riksdag was appointed at the day’s session to deal with the bill seeking avthority for the Swedish government to negotiate with the Norwegian storthing for terms of settlement of the separation of Norway and Sweden. The debate in the upper chamber was initiated by G. A. Berg, who de- clared the proposals of the Swedish government were nothing less than a Burrender to the Norwegian revolu- tonists. The riksdag, he said, could not acknowledge Norway as.a sov- ereign state before Sweden’s just de- mands were fulfilled. Herren Kennedy and LitHander, members of the Right party, similarly criticised the government. The lat- lter declared that Sweden’s security and national honor demanded the most vigorous resistance to the acts of the Norwegian revolutionists.

QUESTION AN INTERNATIONAL ONE CERMANY INSISTS AGREEMENT DESIRED WOULD BE UNFAIR TO OTHER POWERS. Berlin, June 28.—The German an- Bwer Lo the French note on the sub- Ject of the proposed Moroccan confer- ence has been sent to Paris. A high oficial near Chancellor von Buelow informs the Associated Press that the .- German note while perfectly amicable In form insists on a conferénce and also declines to comply with France's request that Germany outline before- hand the programme of the conference. - The chancellor takes the stand that the, Moroccan question is an interna- tional affair and that Germany, having accepted the sultan’s invitation to a conference on the subject, cannot rightly agree with any single power as to what can be discussed at the confer- ence. Germany insists that France must agre€ to the conference before any arrangements are made respect- ing the subject msiter for discussion. After France has agreed to this Ger- many is willing to listen to France's wishes. The official’s attention being called to the warlike talk in the foreign press he replied: “The fact that we are urging a con- ference is clear proof that we have no wish for war with France. When a nation wants war it cannot ask for a conference at the same time. “If we wanted war with France we would have regretted M. Delcasse’s fall, since he was the greatest obstacle to good relations with Erance. On the contrary M. Delcasse’s removal and Premier Rouvier's decision to retain the foreign portfolio gave great satis- faction in German official circles, be- cause we saw-in these steps‘a guaran- tee.of improved relations.” FRENCH MINISTERS MEET. Discuss Status of Negotiations Re- garding Morocco. Paris, June 28.—The council of min- isters during the day considered the status of the Franco-German negotia- tions. Premier Rouvier announced that he expected to have a conference later with Prince von Radolin, the German ambassador, who would de- liver the German reply to the French note on the subject of Morocco. Pend- ing the receipt of this the officials say the situation remains stationary, as the final outcome depends on the text of the German note. In the meantime the oflicials here consider that the situation -has been considerably re- lieved in view of intimations they have received from the French ambas- sador at Berlin concerning the general purport of the German position. = It is understood that the German re- ply expresses the most amicable and friendly sentiments, but nevertheless continues to maintain that a confer- ence should- settle the entire subject of - Morocco, without - prearrangement between the nations taking part in it. While: this differs from the French position in seeking to define the scope of the conference, yet the amicable spirit in which the German response is framed lcads to the belief that it facili- tates French acceptance of the confer- ence. The Temps prints a special dispatch from Berlin which credits President Roosevelt with using his influence to avold the Moroccan question reaching a crisls, Similar reports are circulat- ing in diplomatic quarters here, it be- Ing stated that President Roosevelt used his friendly counsels with the French and German ambassadors at Washington. MEMBER OF REICHSTAG JAILED. “lnsulted” Members of German Expe- dition to China. Berlin, June 28.—Herr Kunert, a Social Democratic member of the reichstag, has been sentenced at Halle to threc months’ imprisonment for in- sulting members of the German expe- dition sent to China in 1900 by say- ing in a campaign speech, “Our sol- diers-in that desolated land plundered and abused women.” A number of former soldiers of the expedition were examined and gave corroborative tes- timony in great detail.
