NEW YORK, Oct. 27-The feature of

day, and one that is being discussed gen.
orally. Is the letter. of former President
Grover Cleveland to Mayor Mcclellan
In which he warned voters against the
rank hysteria' manifested in some
quarters.
He also spoke of the advantage which
was being taken of the unusually
aroused preJudices for demagogic
manipulation to mislead the public, and
pointed out dangers which Mayor Nc
Clellan's course was calculated to avert
Convention for Jerome.
An important step was taken by the
Republican executive committee today
They issued a call for the county con-
vention to meet In the Murray Hill
Lyceum tonight and nominate Jerome
for district attorney in place of Judge
Charles A. Flammer, the Republican
nominee. who withdrew from the ticket
on Wednesday.
This action will be taken in apparent
defiance OF the provisions of the eIec-
ton law, which state that vacancies on
the ticket must be filed not later than
october 23 1t is expected by. the Re-
publican leaders that the board of cleo
tfons will refuse to accept the certifi-
cate nominating Jerome. They intend
10 appeal to the courts and to obtain
nlandanus compelling the board to place
Jerome's name in the Republican col
umn.
The ballots will not be prepared until

name upon the Republican ticket will,

chances for election.

WALLACE SAYS RED TAPE
BLOCKS PANAMA CANAL
Former Chief Engineer Intimates
Strongly That His Resignation Was
Caused by Dilatory Methods.

Red tape at Washington blocked his
efforts toward the construction of the
Panama canal and was the direct cause
OF his resignation, intimates John Find
lay Wallace. former chief engineer of
the canal commission.
The intimation, which is so strong as
TO have all the effect Of positive state
ment. is made in an article which an
pears In the current number of the En-
cheering Magazine. which was writer,
by Mr. Wallace His views on this SUBJ
5ect were outlined in an article In Th.7
Times. which was printed month ago.
He says:
The experience of the past year will
have been wasted unless the controlling
authorities at Washington are able to
break away from the moss-covered ira
ditions of governmental control, apnlr=
Ing ordinary and common sense methods
to the accomplishment of the work. and
Congress shall enact legislation enabling
this to be done. The so-called free
band'-with the rest of the body and
limbs tightly bound with red tape-can

to twelve years to complete a structure
such as the Federal building in Chicago

two-cannot be applied to the construc,
tion of the Panama canal with satisfac-
tory results. IL the present generation Is

ment. and at reasonable cost.
The efforts of the commission eft
Washington were evidently so hamper
ed by the legal requirements controlling
the purchase OF supplies and the dis
bursement of Government funds that
regardless OF the individual ability or
inclination of the separate members
results seemed impossible OF accom-
plishment The difficulty In the way or
securing material and labor promptly
prevented the installation OF any Amer
lean steanl-shovels before the latter
part OF 1904. so that II was not until

vantage was derived from their intro
