Wallace, chief engineer of the Panama canal, after administering a severe rebuke to him, requested his resignation on the ground that "public Interest re quires that you tender your resignation at this moment and turn ove:1 the reofds of your office to the chairman of the commission." This fact is disclosed in an official ftatemeut Issued from the office of the Becfetary of war last night which reviews the relations of Mr. Wallace with the. war department and the commission since the latter body's reorganization last spring, "quoting the several expressions of the chief engineer of his satisfaction with the entire arrangement," and then gives practically a verbatim 'account of the conference between Secretary Taft and Mr. Wallace In New York which concluded with the submission to Secretary Taft of Mr. Wallace's resignation. Tlx' statement issued last night concludes with the president's letter to Mr. Wallace, dated Cambridge, Mass., June 28, which reads: New York, June 30.—Wielding his retrenchment ax with relentless vigor, Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton, the new overlord of tlie Equitable Life Assurance society, has cut off the heads of Senator Depew, former Governor David B. Hill and George H. Squire, who for years have been drawing annually $117,000 of the money of the policy holders from the treasury of tlie society, the two former for asserted legal service and the latter as financial manager and adviser.

The trouble was noticed a few days ago, small quantities of smoko arising from the road being the first Indication of the existence of anything of an unusual nature. Residents of the vicinity wero at a loss to account for thu condition unttt it was remembered that when the road was graded about four years ago some stone and other material taken from the "rock dump" of Warlike washery, nearby, and used to fill in the road for some distance. When this operation had been gone through tlir ballast was covered with soil. When an opening was made to find the cause of tho trouble beneath the surface it was learned that some of the material taken from the vicinity of tho washery hud become Ignited In 9ome manner und was burning.

J. Redding in the case of John Sandy, a North Main street Italian, who sued Igel Vino,, a youthful fellow countryman from Mill street, to recover $5. It was prbved and admitted by the parties interested that Vino had bargained to dispose of his wife to Sandy for the sum of $5 and that the bargain had not been carried out only because Vino's wife refused to be a party to the proceeding. It Is alleged that a large body of rioters tried to enter the central part of the town by way of Polish hill and that a terrific fusillade was kept uiD by both sides with rifles and revolvers. It is also alleged that hundreds we* killed and that when the mob tried to asceuil the steps near the Church of St. Nicholas to reach the Boulevard St. Nicholas Cossacks and other troops fired repeated volleys Into the crowd with terrific results, wagon loads of dead being carried away.

General Fitzgerald was one of the directors criticised In the Hendricks report. He also failed to appear before the state superintendent when requested to do so. The gist of the story told to the alderman was as follows: Vino was married a few months ago to a daughter of Tony Dakely, of Panama street, and the couple began housekeeping on Mill street. It did not take Vino long to find, out that he did not care for married life and to repent of his bargain. He decided to step out of double harness and in order to do so entered into a bargain with Sandy, who is a middle aged man, that tho latter could have his wife for $5. Sandy agreed to the bargain and the $5 was duly paid «v». -When Vino fried to carry out his part of the bargain he was unable to do so. As soon as she heard of the proposition his wife left him and went back to the home her father, where slie is now living. When Sandy did not receive his end of the bargain he demanded his $5 back, but Vino refused. The lawsuit then followed. Many lives. It is said, wore lost in tlie endeavors of the military to stop Incendiarism. The conflagration extended for more tlinn a mile, and thousands of tons of railway sleepers and all tin* trestles supporting the elevated railroad serving the port, together with all the contiguous buildings, were consumed, the troops In the meanwhile firing volleys to compel the rioters to desist. It is stated that three police officers, fen policemen, tvveuty-threo Cossacks and ten infantry soldiers tvere killed In these encounters. When Secretary Tuft and Mr. Wallace met lu New York by appointment Mr. Wallace said that a few days before he Bent the telegram to tlie secretary requesting permission to come back he had received a cable from a prominent business man In New York asking if he would consider an offer to accept an important position lu New York and that he had cabled in reply that it was "simply a question-of terms 'Die mo. by "City Cle 8 o'clock.

Neither Attorney General Mayer nor District Attorney Jerome has received yet frotn Superintendent Hendricks the transcript of the testimony taken by him. It is said that in a day or two Mr. Mayer will institute civil proceedings against Alexander, Hyde and others, with the syndicate uuderwritings the underlying cause for such action. He came to New York last night. "Mr. Wallace, I am inexpressibly disappointed not only because you have taken this step, but because you seem so utterly insensible to the significance of your conduct. You come with the bald announcement that you quit your task at a critical moment, on the eve of important work and in the midst of reorganization plans under which you accepted your position, with your department u 11 perfected |n organization and when you know, too, that my public duties call me to the Philippines for several mouths.

Wallace, chief engineer of the Panama canal, after administering a severe rebuke to him, requested his resignation on the ground that "public Interest re quires that you tender your resignation at this moment and turn ove:1 the reofds of your office to the chairman of the commission." This fact is disclosed in an official ftatemeut Issued from the office of the Becfetary of war last night which reviews the relations of Mr. Wallace with the. war department and the commission since the latter body's reorganization last spring, "quoting the several expressions of the chief engineer of his satisfaction with the entire arrangement," and then gives practically a verbatim 'account of the conference between Secretary Taft and Mr. Wallace In New York which concluded with the submission to Secretary Taft of Mr. Wallace's resignation. Tlx' statement issued last night concludes with the president's letter to Mr. Wallace, dated Cambridge, Mass., June 28, which reads: New York, June 30.—Wielding his retrenchment ax with relentless vigor, Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton, the new overlord of tlie Equitable Life Assurance society, has cut off the heads of Senator Depew, former Governor David B. Hill and George H. Squire, who for years have been drawing annually $117,000 of the money of the policy holders from the treasury of tlie society, the two former for asserted legal service and the latter as financial manager and adviser.

The trouble was noticed a few days ago, small quantities of smoko arising from the road being the first Indication of the existence of anything of an unusual nature. Residents of the vicinity wero at a loss to account for thu condition unttt it was remembered that when the road was graded about four years ago some stone and other material taken from the "rock dump" of Warlike washery, nearby, and used to fill in the road for some distance. When this operation had been gone through tlir ballast was covered with soil. When an opening was made to find the cause of tho trouble beneath the surface it was learned that some of the material taken from the vicinity of tho washery hud become Ignited In 9ome manner und was burning.

J. Redding in the case of John Sandy, a North Main street Italian, who sued Igel Vino,, a youthful fellow countryman from Mill street, to recover $5. It was prbved and admitted by the parties interested that Vino had bargained to dispose of his wife to Sandy for the sum of $5 and that the bargain had not been carried out only because Vino's wife refused to be a party to the proceeding. It Is alleged that a large body of rioters tried to enter the central part of the town by way of Polish hill and that a terrific fusillade was kept uiD by both sides with rifles and revolvers. It is also alleged that hundreds we* killed and that when the mob tried to asceuil the steps near the Church of St. Nicholas to reach the Boulevard St. Nicholas Cossacks and other troops fired repeated volleys Into the crowd with terrific results, wagon loads of dead being carried away.

General Fitzgerald was one of the directors criticised In the Hendricks report. He also failed to appear before the state superintendent when requested to do so. The gist of the story told to the alderman was as follows: Vino was married a few months ago to a daughter of Tony Dakely, of Panama street, and the couple began housekeeping on Mill street. It did not take Vino long to find, out that he did not care for married life and to repent of his bargain. He decided to step out of double harness and in order to do so entered into a bargain with Sandy, who is a middle aged man, that tho latter could have his wife for $5. Sandy agreed to the bargain and the $5 was duly paid «v». -When Vino fried to carry out his part of the bargain he was unable to do so. As soon as she heard of the proposition his wife left him and went back to the home her father, where slie is now living. When Sandy did not receive his end of the bargain he demanded his $5 back, but Vino refused. The lawsuit then followed. Many lives. It is said, wore lost in tlie endeavors of the military to stop Incendiarism. The conflagration extended for more tlinn a mile, and thousands of tons of railway sleepers and all tin* trestles supporting the elevated railroad serving the port, together with all the contiguous buildings, were consumed, the troops In the meanwhile firing volleys to compel the rioters to desist. It is stated that three police officers, fen policemen, tvveuty-threo Cossacks and ten infantry soldiers tvere killed In these encounters. When Secretary Tuft and Mr. Wallace met lu New York by appointment Mr. Wallace said that a few days before he Bent the telegram to tlie secretary requesting permission to come back he had received a cable from a prominent business man In New York asking if he would consider an offer to accept an important position lu New York and that he had cabled in reply that it was "simply a question-of terms 'Die mo. by "City Cle 8 o'clock.

Neither Attorney General Mayer nor District Attorney Jerome has received yet frotn Superintendent Hendricks the transcript of the testimony taken by him. It is said that in a day or two Mr. Mayer will institute civil proceedings against Alexander, Hyde and others, with the syndicate uuderwritings the underlying cause for such action. He came to New York last night. "Mr. Wallace, I am inexpressibly disappointed not only because you have taken this step, but because you seem so utterly insensible to the significance of your conduct.
