OF the lines. The various household
goods were carried across the tracks and
tumbled indiscrimlnately against the
curbstone. Several officers par''led this
part of the street to prevent anything
from being stolen.
1t was few minutes after 1 o'clock
when the fire was out and the hose re-
moved and the first car allowed to pass.
There were eleven flats and their occu

In 30l1S lived tho Leonards, three in
number; No. 30l was unoccupied; Mrs.
Forbes rented the flats at 303, but she
was absent in the east, ,and Miss Ritchie is
in charge; with her were Mr.. and Mrs. E.

Mr.. and Mrs. A; b. Frampton. Mrs.

The lapest fiat was 3O7, and had been
rented to Miss Dexter. who sublet the
rooms. With her were Mr.. and Mrs. Nc

Mrs. Brightweel and two children, and
Misses Rosebury and Shockley. Mrs.

was Miss Dexter, as she had about $4,000

or ruined by water. About everything
was gotten out of 300 and in 31l the loss

an lndiscri inmate mass in the street it
was very difficult for their owners to tell
what had been lost and what not. Every

majority of cases the loss was small. and

"I could mention other such cases Of
crime committed in the castle and de-
stroyed in my presence, but these are
sufficient, except one and that was OF An

explained py Holmes was that one of the

THE WALLER INCIDENT
No Action VIII Be Taken in the Matter Fol
Some Time


Some Time
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-It IS prob
able that no further action will be taken
in the case of ex-Consul Waller until his
statement taken by Newton B. Eustis
and Mr.. Alexander is received and ex-
amined. 1t is staten that the case will
then be purely legal one and that the
action OF the department will depend on
the lawfulness of the French military
court and its actions and the legal Status
of NJ. Waler's contentious. The state
ment of Mr.. Waller is also to be com pared
with the statements of Consul Wetter
at Tamatave. WHO had made report to
the department of facts gathered by him
in Madagascar. There is yet wanting
copy of the record OF the arrest and con-
vction of Waller, which record the
French government has promised. If 1t is
not forthcoming, the case will be that
much stronger against the French gov
ernment. If it has not arrived by the time
the department is prepared to act on the
case. as proms sed by Consul Wetter and
Mr.. Waller. the probabilities are that the
French government will be asked to re-
lease the ex-consul at once and to in
demnify him for the wrongs be has suf-
fered.
PARIS Aug. 2s-The Figaro this
morning declares that she Waller affair
is unmportant; that Waller was only an
American consul through accident; that
he never did we'll, and that bis con sulate

Nothing serious can result from the
negotiations regarding his condem ma
tion. for he is not worth the trouble. The
Castine incident is more serious, but

which is entirely in the wrong. More

TO BUY THE PANAMA CANAL
The Scheme of Three WelI-Heeled
Jerseyites ..
Negotiations Said to Be Well Under Way
Looking to the Accomplishment
Of the Undertaking

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Aug. 2S.-
Phillip Wiegel, jt., an iron and hard ware
merchant of this city. was asked today
as to the correctness of the following
statement which appeared in the issue OF
August Gath OF the Mercant tile and Finan-
cial Times of New York:
"Pbilip Wisgel is virtually the head OF
the project, involving $l00, 900, 900. which
will be public property and an assured
thing within the next year and half.
In this stupendous undertaking no one
but inhabitants OF JERSEYS soil will be
employad."
Mr.. Wiegel said that three men IN this
country, OF whom he was one, had planned
to buy the entire interest in the Inter
Ocean Panama Canal company, takin g
up the work where it had been left off
and prosecuting it to a successful end.
According to Mr.. Wiesel. the syndicate
will begin work within the next 2 -.aen
months.
By that time, he said. the privileges
and grants held by the present Panama
company will have expired. and arrange
ments having been made with the United
States and other governments to extend
these PRIVILEGES, the work will go On with
vigor. Mr.. Wiegel said the agreements,
releases and other accessories to the
transfer have been drawn up and the new
company has simply to deliver the con-
tract price to be in full possession.
When reporter suggested the public
would be likely to look upon the venture
as chin isrcal, Mr.. Wiegel replied he had
every confidence in the plan and had no
doubt of its ultimate success. He said
he had in his office copies of all agree
ments that have been drawn up, together
with maps of the country, engineering
plans. estimates OF cost of construction
has been working twenty hours daily in
his office for several years, and has repu-
tation here for energy and enterprise.
His capital is tar from adequate to take
one-third share in the alleged $10O 900. 900
enterprise. Mr.. Wiegels financial stand :
