White House,
Washington, June 20. 1904.

MY Dear Mr. .hnON'
/ accept your resignation, not only
with keen personal regret, but with
a very real feeling of the loss the
country thereby sustains. Permit me
to add that / do not think / could have
made up my mind to .acquiesce, how
ever reluctantly in your leaving your
present position, had 1 not also real
ICED the services you could render in
the Senate.
There is nothing which can say
which Will in any way add to the rep
utation which you have won and no
tribute i can pay you will approach
In value that already paid you by the
hearty admiration and respect of your
fellow citizens. Yet l wish to bear tes-
timony to the invaluable work that
you have done. During your whole
time of service you have had no real
holiday.
Roosevelt's Soft soap.
You never have really rested from
your exhausting labor. To your high
professional qualities you have added
unfiagging zeal and an entire indiffer-
ence to every consideration save to the
honor and interest OF the people at
large. Many great and able men have
preceded you in the Office you hold.
but there is none among them whose
administration has left so deep a mark
for good upon the countrys develop
ment. Under you 1t has been literally
true that the mightiest and the humb
lest in the land have alike had 1t
brought home to him that each was
sure of the laws protection while he
did right and that neither could hope
to defy the law If he did wrong. In
what you have done you have given
proof not merely of the profound learn
ing of the jurist, but of the bold ini-
tiative and wide grasp, of the states
man. You have deeply affected for
good the development of our entire po-
litical system in its relations to the
industrial and economic tendencies of
the time.
For all you have done I thank you
most earnestly. not only on my behalf.
but on behalf of the public, whom
you have served with such single mind
ed devotion.
With all good wishes for your future,
believe me,
Very faithfully yours,
Theodore Roosevelt.
Hon. p. C. Knox. Attorney General.

CAVE IN IN TUNNEL.

Mountain.

Columbus. Ga, June 24.-With
crash forty feet of the Southern Rail
way tunnel at Pine Mountain near
Warm Springs caved in early today
blocking the track. The cause of the
cave in is a mystery as no train was
passing to jar the earth. Several
weeks ago the wood work in the tun-
mel burned and in replacing 1t only the
stoutest timbers were used and the top
OF the tunnel was thoroughly cribbed,
1t will be two or three days before
trains can go through the mountain
again.
| 1t is reported that an explosion was
heard near the mountain about the
time of the cave in and this has given
rise to a theory that the tunnel was
wrecked by some evilly disposed per-

cident before they reached the noun

million and sixty eight thousand BUSH
els of coal was locked through Lock
Haven yesterday and today.
Every tow boat available Is being
sent to the mouth of the river tonight
to await an artificial rise planned by
government officials. The rise in the
Ohio will not be enough to float the
coal barges so either Saturday or sun
day every pool above dams Nos. to IL
will be drained to create the necessary

1t is estimated that tripping those
