A Letter by Former Chief Engineer to In-
 teT-OCedniC Canal Committee
Introduced Evidence to Show That the Secretary Was Biased Against Him and Was Thus Incapable of Treat ing Him Fairly.

Washington, D. O. May 23.-Former Chief Engineer John F. Wallace of the isthmian canal today addressed a letter to Senator Willard chairman of the committee on inter-oceanic canals. in reply to Secretary Tafts recent testi- mOny before that committee in which he charged Secretary Taft with having abused his official position in order to make a second assault upon him and to place in a public record statements calculated. and apparently intended, to affect my reputation for veracity. such as he would not make to me as one man to another, face to face"
 He also imputes to Governor Magoon a breach of confidence in having ad- vised him to take a certain course of action and then anticipating it by se- cretly writing to Secretary Taft. While expressly stating that he bears no ill., will toward William Nelson Cromwell MT. Wallace speaks of the bias of Sec retary Taft in favor of that gentleman and says that he was aware that MT Cromwell, among other things. was trying to secure the payment by the United States of an improper claim
 which, however, was afterward disal- lowed by the president.
 MT. Wallace refers to the Manhattan | hotel interview with Secretary Taft which was given out to the press with statement by Secretary Taft at the time that it was mot the result of g i hasty outburst of anger. but a delib-

 Continuing. the letter says. ~Secr=- tary Taft in his testimony also states that he is sorry to have been misleti into the incorrect statement of Mr- Stevens views which Mr- WaIlace re- gards as a slur upon his work ms flectiOns on my work on mere sslppo- sitiOns is. to my mind. a further proof of the hostility toward me which Mr. Cromwell succeeded in insulting Into his mind. Even when. at this late day he is forced to withdraw this unuar- ranted attack upon my capacity as an engineer, he chooses to quote me as calling it a ,slur' upon my work Vh=n he must have known perfectly well that MT Stevens was the author of the eE- pressiOn."
 After reiteratinG his former state ments that financial reasons were uor ] the cause of his request to be relieved. and that his desire for proper authority and non-interference with the Wurz was not due to personal ambition. 1Er. Wallace makes the statement that ~at no time did the thought ever occur tn
 me to hold up Secretary Taft or any one for additional authority or com pensation."

A RECfIVfRSHIP FOR
 FINAL COPPER co.
Petition Filed Yesterday in Court at
 St. Louis.

St. Louis, Mo, May 23.-A petition asking for a receiver of the PinaI Cop per company was filed here today by Albert B. Campbell of Pittsburg and James K. P. Biggar, c. c. Ward and w B. Nichols of Cincinnati, stockhold- CTS in the company.
 The Ariozna Banner Copper company is made co-defendant, as are also Charles A. Lemp, w. A. Kammerer, George B. Teasdale. w. M. Kinsey, all St. Louis business men. who are named as directors and officials. The company is capitalized at s2,000,000. Prior to December 1, 1903, the petition states, there was complaint among the stockholders of the copper company as to it's management.
 On that date the directors bought in the stock of the complaining stockhold- CTS, and a short time later. it is charged. issued $125,0 900 in bonds SC cover the expenditures of the stock. The copper company was then, it is all legged sold to the Arizona Banner Cop per company. but the terms of the sale were such that the bonds were not af- fected by it.
 The petition says that this was a simulated sale, and asks that the bond issue, the mortgage securing it, and the sale be declared void that the defend | ants be restrained from the sale of the | copper company's property, and that a | receiver be appointed.

pictures of CoXey's army and com mented on it's appearance in Wash ington and the demand of its members for work. In reply to this MT. Will Hams, the minority leader, stated that the government was still operating under the Mckinley bill at that time and that revenues. were being collected under that republican measure.
 MT. Williams said he was encour- aged in the fight the democrats were making in favor of tariff reform be- cause of the number of republican leaders who were dashing to the relief of the protective tariff.
 It was MT. Williams solemn belief that the worst thing about the protec- tive tariff was that it bribes and cor rupts the friends of good government.
 MT. Landis took up the assertion of MT. Williams that corn was so low in 1890 and 1891 that the farmers were compelled to burn it for fuel. He said he came from a corn belt in Indiana and he denied that farmers were com pelled to burn their corn because il was a drug on the market MT. Will Hams insisted that he was right in his statement. This brought MT. Hin shaw of Nebraska into the arena tC say he knew as a Nebraskan that corn was not burned in his state. MT Reeder of Kansas followed to repudi- ate the statement that the farmers oi | the Sunhower state had burned theiI corn

NOTHING BUT MONEY.
Did the San Francisco Banks Have
 They Reopened.

San Francisco May 23.-At 10 o'clock this morning practically every bank in this city that has been able to secure temporary quarters opened its doors to the public. 4 unique fea- ture connected with this general re- sumption of business after the sus- pension caaused by the recent great catastrophe was the fact that never in the history of San Francisco was there so much bank money on hand. For the past week money has been pouring into the various financial in- stitutions from all parts of the world. Superintendent Leech of the mint has received many large transfers from eastern and European centers and still the money is coming.
 What the total is to date is not known, but some time ago 1t exceeded thirty millions. The last transfers consisted for the greater part of large sums for the savings banks.
 When the doors opened this morn ing the banks by no means had tc depend upon money from outside sources. The great savings instftu- tiOns had millions in coin and securi- ties in their vaults which were undis- turbed by fire. There were long lines before the savings banks this morning mostly working people. who needed their savings to relieve pressing needs There was no disorder.
 The banks paid without limit. The fact that all the banks did not reopen their doors was due to a dearth o1 quarters.

MT. Landis Rises Incidentally tO the De-
 fenSe of the Protective Tariff
It is Denounced by MT. Williams the Corruptor of the American People, and the Bulwark of the Plum dering Trusts.

washingtony May 23.-The issues destined to be uppermost between the two great parties during the coming campaign are already being joined, if the speeches now being made in the house of representatives are a safe index.
 Several weeks ago MT. Rainey of Illinois made a carefully prepared speech on the watch trust, asserting that the watch manufacturers of the United States had one price for watches at home and a lesser price abroad.
 Today in the house Chas. B.. Landis of Indiana in a sense answered Mir. Rainey, frankly admitting that Ameri- can manufacturers had one price here and another abroad, and he defended the practice as in accord with good business methods. insisting that all countries sold their wares for less prices abroad than at home.
 MT. Landis also paid some attention to a speech made by Bourke Cochran of New York, wherein the latter de- nounced the policy of protection as one of public plunder, the fountain source of all corruption and the cauase of the total demoralization of the American republic This MT. Landis denied. He said that every poor but ambitious immigrant who lanaded here during the last ten years would refute that allegation.
 MT. Landis displayed a number of
