RETIREMENT OF COL. WALLACE.

RETIREMENT OF COL. WALLACE.
AssOciated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, D. c.. Oct. 2.-After
forty years. service in the army, Col.
William r. Wallace of the 18th cavalry
was placed on the retired list today on
his own application. Born in Wiscon-
sin, Col. Wallace began his military
career as first lieutenant of the 18th
New York artillery in March, 1864,
and entered the regular army in 1866,
as second lieutenant OF the Sth infan-
try. He served in the infantry until
December, 1870, when he was trans
ferred to the cavalry army of the
service.
In the days when the water cure
was creating such furore both in
the Philippines and in the United
States, Col. Wallace devised means
for restraining murderous Mohammo-
dams in Jolo which was far more eff
fective than the cruel practices of
many other officers. He understood
the religious prejudices of the Mo-
hammOdan MOros so we'll that by en-
dangering the eternal happiness of
Moro outlaws he frightened them into
submission. In 1902. when Mohammo-
practice of feigning insanity and rum
ming through the streets numbering
Christians, Col. Wallace took the body
of one of the fanatics who had been
killed by soldiers and had it placed
in a grace near the market place. and
after large crowd had gathered the
colonel ordered hog killed and had
the body of the unclean beast hung
over the grave, where the blood
trickled down upon the dead Moham-
medan. This defilement of a son of
the prophet, in the minds of the Mo-
hammedans, condemned the mans
soul to eternal damnation and created
a panic among the followers of Mo-
hamet, who thereafter desisted from
prOmfScuous killing.

PHILIPPINE RAILWAYS.
Progress on the Construction Of an
Adequate System Reported.

Washington, Oct. Reconstruction
of the new railroad system in the
Philippines is proceeding rapidly, ac-
cording to reports received by the In
sular bureau. Between June 10 and
%, inclusive. the Philippine Railway
company, which is to construct 295
miles of road, put five surveying
parties in the field, three on the island
of Panay and one each on the islands
of Cebu and Negroes. Reports from
these parties indicate that the sur
veys are proceeding rapidly and sat
isfactorily, and that construction will
promptly follow the completion of
the surveyors work.
There has been some discussion of
the practicability of establishing
regular lines of steamboats, and car
ferries between the several islands,
but no decisions on this point have
been reached. Preparations are also
being made for the construction of
425 miles of road on the island of
LuzOn, this trackage to consist of ex-
tensions and spurs to the existing line
on that island. James Speyer & Co..
of New York. have the franchise for
this work which with the existing
lines. will constitute the Manila

the secretary of war that they will
undertake the final survey within six
ty days.
Altogether $sO,0O0.000 will be ex-
pended in roadway construction in
the Philippines within the next year
or two, and all work will be conducted
under the supervision Of F. A. Mol
litor, formerly chief engineer of the
Choctaw Railway, in Oklahoma. Mr..
Mollitor has been selected as the
representative OF the government by
the Philippine commission.
The construction of an adequate
railway system in the Philippines has
long been the dream of Secretary Taft,
dream which now seems destined to
fulfilment. The secretary of war,
Than whom no one Is more familiar
with the Philippines, is convinced that
with railway facilities to convey the
great natural wealth of the Philippines
to market the prosperity of the islands
will be materially promoted, and the
enactment of legislation by congress
whereby the investment of capital in
Philippine railways was insured is
entirely due to the personal efforts
of Mr.. Taft, who, with Senator Spoon
er, is the father of the Philippine
Public Improvement bill.
Despite the numerous and varied
duties which have fallen on the broad
shoulders of Mr.. Taft since he ac-
cepted the portfolio of war. he has
never for a moment lost sight of the
necessities and interests of the Philip
pines, and much of his time is de-
voted to devising plans for their ad-
vancement. 1t is now his purpose
to confide the execution of his plans
to Judge Magoon, who is soon to go

Washington, Oct. g. Important
changes among the high offices of the
army we're made Monday when Brig
adler General B. Burton, inspector
general, and Brigadier General Sam

placed on the retired list on their own
applications. Gen. Mills will be sue

enant Colonel Arthur Murray, now as
sistant to the chief of artillery, while
Colonel E. A. Darlington will succeed
General Burton as inspector general
OF the army.
Colonel Murray. the new chief of
artillery, was born in Bowling Green,
Mo-, April 20, 1851. He was appointed
to the West Point academy in 1870
and graduated second in his class. His
first promotion came in 1878, when he
was made first lieutenant nthe First
United States artillery. In 1880, he
was honor graduate No. in the artil-
lery school at Fort Monroe. For six
years thereafter he was an instructor
in the department of natural and ex-
perimental philosophy at tho West
Point academy. From 1887 to 1891 he
was acting Judge advocate general,

period thereafter was acting assist
ant adjutant general, department of
Dakota. On the outbreak of the war
with Spain he was given a captaincy
in the First artillery and served

States circuit court at st. Louis in
