LORD CURzON IS OUT
Resignation as Viceroy of India Accepted by King Edward.
EARL OF MINTO SUCCEEDS HIM,
Disbursement With Kitchener Over Army Reorganization Cause of Curxon's Determination
 to Quit.

LONDON, Aug. 21.-The resignation of Lord Curzon of Kedleston as viceroy of India and the appointment of the Earl of Minto as his successor was announced at the India office. Accord ing to the correspondence, which is is- sued in the form of white book, 1t appears that Lord Curzon's resignation was cabled to that office on Aug. IF. The correspondence shows a decidedly bitter feeling between Lord Curzon, the India office and Lord Kitchener, commander in chief of the forces in India, over the new scheme of army administration in India. Lord Cur zon's dissatisfaction came to head with the refusal of the cabinet to ap- point Major General Sir Edmund Bar row on Lord Curzon's recommenda- tion military supply member of the council.
 Replying on Aug. ? to the refusal Of MT. Brodrick, secretary of state for India, to make this appointment, Lord Curzon requests that the government reconsider its decision "in order to en- | able me to accept the responsibility, which infer his majesty's government still desires me to assume"
 MT. Brodrick again refused to com ply with the request for the appoint ment of Major General Barrow, and 1 Lord Curzon replied as follows:
 Ut is apparent that his majesty's government denies me that confidence which alone can enable me to serve them and attach fundamentally diff ferent interpretation from myself to the notifications, upon the acceptance of which I alone consented to remain in office. The situation therefore re- mains where it was when l resigned in June. If the government is unable to accept my views I request the pre- mier to place my resignation in the hands of his majesty
 To this Mir. Brodrick replied tha, there was request from MT. Balfoul that Lord Curzon reconsider his de termination. In final dispatch, how
 ever, dated Aug. 12, Lord Curzon said
 "The main question is not the choice
 of individual, but one of the primer ples underlying future change in oul
 administration. am reluctantly driv
 en to the conclusion that the policy O his majestys government is based ol
 principles that l could not conscien

 sible."
 To this MT. Balfour himself replie |. that he had with the most profoun !, regret submitted Lord Curzon's resit , nation to the king" g

PROGRESS OR VANDALISM.

When we get Niagara harnessed And her useless cliffs and crags Have been dried to feed the yearnings Of our yawning money bags, What joy will thrill our bosoms- All romantic nonsense drowned As we hear her torrents thunder Through the wheel pit under ground! Then we'll blast away Goat island, Turn 1t into building blocks, Put a turbine in the whirlpool,
 Build shot towers down the rocks. How we'll pity our poor forebears. Prating of aesthetic taste, While allowing, thoughtless fellows, All those kilowatts to waste! Forward, Spirit of Progression!
 Natures still giddy shirk. Tear away her fancy toggings.
 Get her into trim for work. Turn the Adirondack forest
 Into neat and useful blanks; Straighten out the crooked Hudson, Line with piers her grassy banks. Crush the Dunderberg for pavements, Make the Palisades cement, Fill the Catskills up with signboards- Lots of good rock space to rent Rip the redwoods into shingles.
 Sow the Yellowstone to wheat, Turn the geysers into laundries
 And the bear and deer to meat. What are mere aesthetic fancies,
 Hill or vale or wood or vine, To the graceful curves and meaning Of the pleasing dollar sign? IN. '. Tribune.

VINSON WALSH SLAIN
Mining Magnate Loses Only Son In Motor Gar Accident.
DAUGHTER EyALYS ALSO HURT.
Newport Thrown Into Panic by Frightful Catastrophe Involving Five Members of Amcrica's
 Most Prominent Families.


 Most Prominent Families.
 NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 21.-Services over the body of Vinson Walsh, the eighteen-year-old son of Thomas F. Walsh of Washington, the mining mag nate, who was killed in an automobile accident here on Saturday, were held in Trinity church. Rev. Robert Lowry, the rector, off1ciated, and the funeral was strictly private.
 The condition of the persons who were injured ill the accident has great ly improved. Miss Eyalyn Walsh, sis ter of the young man who was killed, suffered much pain, but she was much easier. Her injury is fracture of thigh bone. Miss Walsh has not been informed of the death of her brother.
 Mrs. James L. Kernochan of Hemp stead, N. Y.; Harry Oelrichs of New York and Herbert Pell,. Jr., both of New York, are much better, and the latter was out of doors.
 The accident threw the New York colony into a panic, for it would be difficult to conceive of quartet of greater social prominence than the Kernochans, the Oelrichs, the Pells and the Washes. Nothing like 1t ever so shocked Newport.
 The tragic death of Vinson Walsh is the greatest blow that can be imagined for the father. He was an only son, destined to become one of the richest men in America, heir to fortune that | in the natural course of events would not fall far short of $5O,00O,0O0 when he reached his majority; the one hope of an ambitious father to perpetuate the name which had been reared from the humble obscurity of a wheel wright's shop into the prominence of mining kings affluence.
 i Thomas F. Walsh has had one of thu most remarkable careers in the history of rich men in this country. Coming tt America from Ireland in the steerage he has by successful mining ventures achieved almost fabulous wealth, all O which he has devoted to the interest," of his family. His whole life wa wrapped up in his boy and girl, to fur ther whose social success he is said t have spent as much as $S0,OOO in on month.
 Young MT. Walsh was looked upon a one of the best automobile drivers | Newport. With his sister Evalyn, Mrs Kernochan and Messrs. Pell and Oe rchs he was returning from the Clan bake club in forty horsepower Mel cedes machine which lately arrive from abroad for the young man.

ODELL or HIGGINS: "CHUMP"
Remark which May Explain Formers
Attitude on Tax Bills. -

Gov Higgins, while training With Chair
man Odell Of the Republican state committee
and with the Odell legislative triumvi-
rate-Senators Malby and Raines and
Speaker Nixon-is rather pained II was
learned yesterday by remark which MI
odell passed on him the day he sailed TOT
Italy.
Gov. Higgins and Mr.. odell, the author
Of the indirect system Of taxation In the
State, had discussed the charge that the
indirect system Of taxation was a deception
and would prove ultimately only a stop
gap and utterly futile. Yet Gov. Higgins
seemed to be in the dark as 10 how he
was 10 raise sufficient revenue TO meet the
States expenses under this Odell indirect
system. Gov. Higgins, in fact was 40
absauatulated by the situation that MI
Odell said later:
Higgins Is such a chump he can't raise
any revenue.
Gov. Higgins quickly heard Of Mr.. odelrl
remarks through convenient friends, and
ever since he has been determined 10 dem
onstrate that he isn't the 'chump' Odel
thinks him; hence his cantankerous In
sistence on the stock transfer tax and the

FRENCH CABINET SPLIT.
Delcasse Wants 70 Quit, Either because OF
Moroccan or Russian Issues.


Special Gable Dsspaieh 10 THE SUN.
PARIS, April 2i.-After serving nearly
seven years in five successive Cabinets
NJ. Delcasse, Minister Of Foreign Affairs,
has written to President Loubet that he
wishes to be relieved Of his Office. NJ.
Loubet communicated the information to
the Cabinet this afternoon, when, 1t is
understood it was the universal opinion that
NJ. Delcasse should be pressedto reconsider
his determination.
NJ. Delcasse was not present at the meet
ing and Prime Minister Rouvier undertook
TO exert persuasion. He accordingly Wis
tied NJ Delcasse at the Ministry Of Foreign
Affairs and urged reasons for his not re-
signing. According to some accounts NJ.
Deloasse was immovable, but NJ Rouvier
visited him again lat er and again pleaded
with him for two hours. NJ. Deloasse
eventually asked for time to consider his
reply, which il expected tomorrow.
Meanwhile 1t is an open question whether
he will 90 or stay, although certain poll
ticians do not hesitate to assert positively
that his decision Is irrevooable Others
assert the contrary. It u stated that Mr..
Rouvier told NJ. Deloasse that II he re-
signed the whole Cabinet would also re-
sign.
NJ. Deicasse's action IL attributed Ia
Wednesdays debate In the Chamber on
Morocco, when il was evident that his
handling Of the negotiations with Germany
made a bad impression, and some remarks
that NJ. Rouvier made in the course Of the
debate seemed to imply that he was not
| wholly in accord with the Foreign Minister.
Nevertheless, the opinion is strongly
held that his resignation would be dis
! tinct triumph for German diplomacy Anc
might further tend to the complete failure
of the French policy In Morocco. These
are stated TO have been among the strong
est arguments employed by NJ. Delcasse'i
friends 10 persuade him not TO leave thu
helm at the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs.
! On the other hand, many politicians
declare that Morocco had nothing TO d.
with the matter. They maintain that TIN
! trouble with Germany is over, and although
that trouble was made a pretext for attack
ing him, it is his fidelity to the Russian
alliance and his consequent alleged weak
ness on the neutrality question that caused
the trouble.
The Socialists, whose strength In tn
Chamber and in the country Is unquestion
able, are disguised with the oontinuanc
Of the compact with CARBON and are abb
to exert sufficient pressure 70 make NJ
| Delcasse's position impossible
