Resiqnation Not unexpected.

Washington, June 27.-The announce
ment of the resignation of John f. Wal
lace as chief engineer Of the Panama
canal commission was not altogether un-
expected in view of his request some
time ago to be allowed to come to this
country to discuss affairs with Secretary
Taft
Members of the commission today did
not hesitate to say that his resignation
would greatly embarass the commission
In it's work. and might necessltate the
postponement of the meeting of the full
commission in September. Professor
Shonts of the commission told his col
leagues at their last meeting that he
knew absolutely nothing about the re-
ported intentions Of Mr.. Wallace and that
he was completely in the dark on the
subject. The possibility Of Mr.. Wallace's
resignation has been discussed informal
lv I'm the commission for several days.
But Secretary Taft is stated to have
been really the only person who had an
inkling of Mr. Wallaces intentions. That
the Secretary held strong views on the
subject was known to several Of his
friends and IL Is expected there may yet
be some interesting developments before
the official resignation Is received by the
government.
II is said that Mr.. Wallace, when he
last conferred with the officials was as
deeply gratified at the consideration
shown him and declared his entire salts
faction with the plan for the administra-
tion of the canal The statement was
made by a close friend of Secretary Taft
tonight that 1t was not believed the resiR-
nation of Mr. Wallace would cause him
to postpone his trip to the Philippines

st. Jospeh, NO. June 27.-In saving the
life of a two and half-year-old child
who had wandered on the railroad track
near Powell. Neb., George Poehl, st.
Joseph and Grand Island fireman, re-
ceived injuries from which it is thought
he will die. The child was discovered
on the tracks as a heavy freight train
rounded a curve.
Brakes were applied but 1t was seen
that the train could not be stopped in
time. Poehl climbed to the pilot and
grasped the baby as the pilot reached
the spot, throwing it from the track un-
injured. The fireman's foot slipped as the
child was hurled to one side and was
caught under the pilot and literally
wrenched off.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE
NOW AT STANDSTILL
1T is BELIEVED THE JAPANESE
PLENIPOTENTIARl WILL BE
ABLE TO REACH WASHINGTON
BY AUGUST 1.

Washington, June H-With the Presl-
dent away from Washington peace nego-
tiations today entered upon a period of in
activity, which may continue until the
President reaches Oyster Bay. Neither the
Russian ambassador nor the japanese
minister received messages today suffi-
ciently urgent to necessitate their COM
municating with the President, and If 1t
is possible they will refrain from troub-
ling him In that way until after his New
England trip is over. There is no con-
frmaton here of report from Paris that
negotiations for an armistice have been
formally opened. While this question may
come up at any time its Importance has
diminished for the present because or the
beginning of the rainy season in Man
churia.
1t is expected that the next step will be
the official announcement of the plenipo-
tentiaries and there is speculation here
as to whether NJ. Nelidoff will accept.
If some on whose rank is not so high
should be substituted for NJ. Neldoff the
Japanese government would feel at liberty
to change its selections, but tonight the
belief was expressed in an official quar-
ter that the tentative selections of the
belligerents already announced would re-
main unchanged.
1t is believed that the Japanese pleni-
potentiaries will be able to reach WASH
ington the first week in August, If not
by August !.

Washington, June 27.-(SpeciaL) There
are few here who believe that Chief En-

canal commission resigned his place on
account of a $4,000 salary In New York.
Mr. Wallace is a well-to-do successful en-
gineer and does not need the money. A
distinguished engineer officer said today:
Perhaps Mr. Wallace has great doubts
of the possibility of constructing the
Panama canal, now that he has spent over
a year on the prelminaries. 1t he has
reached that conclusion would he care
to face the severe criticism sure to be
heaped upon him within the next few

Chinese Newspapers Are Continually
Turning Down Advertisements for

PelSln, June 27-The question Of Chinese
exclusion from the United States con-
tinues chiefly to occupy the attention Of
the Chinese. The depth of feeling mani
tested astonishes foreigners. and Is re-
garded as an evidence of the growth of
national sentiment of public spirit
which five years ago would have been In
conceivable. Among many instances cited
as evidence of this, 1t is. said that Chi
nese eomprador has refused lucrative
appointment with an American company.

Considerable Friction Exists.

This may be one of the reasons which
prompted Mr.. Wallave TO resign. When
the details are forthcoming however, 1t
will likely be shown tnat there was con-
siderable friction between the engineer
and Chairman Shonts. When Wallace was
appointed it is believed that he understood
that he was to have entire management
of the canal affairs. That he is an alb
solutely competent man there is no doubt.
1t Is generally agreed that il anyone could
construct the Panama canal, Wallace is
the man.
Then the commission was re-organized
and Shonts turns up as chairman and
gathers a few army officers and railroad
men around him. Shonts has been chair
man In every sense of the word, and Wal
lace has been chief engineeg to the chair
man. As suggested 1t is aot improbable
that Mr. Wallace has become convinced
that the construction of the canal Is un-
certain, which. combined with his differ
ences with Shonts has resulted in his res
ignation.
The members of the isthmian canal
commission, all of whom are drawing big
salaries and have thus far have had
nothing to do. know nothing about Wal
lace's resignation or the affairs of the
commission, which seems to have been
attended to entirely by Chairman Shonts

Coolies Are Excluded.

The chief topic is the question of ex-
eluson of coolies from Hawaii and the
Philippines. 1t is understood there is no
real objection to the landing of coolies
in Hawaii, where they do not compete
with American labor, while Chinese i'm
migration has long been established in
the Philippines.
These points the Chinese regard as es-
sental, but it is thought unlikely that
they will be conceded by the American
government, hence the apparent dead

tement China yesterday proposed to send
a special mission to Washington, but
