In bitter humiliation Of spirit
am compelled 10 acknowledge what
! have heretofore Indignantly re-
fused to believe, namely, that the de-
partment of justice is yielding to in
fluence which will cripple and de-
stroy the usefulness of this office
I cannot consent to occupy this posi-
ton as a mere automaton and
have the guilt or innocence of rich
and powerful defendants who have
been indicted BY unbiased grand
iuries on overwhelming evidence de-
termined in washington on repre-
sentations on behalf Of the defend
ants without notice to me-
Z seem unable to convey to the
department the understanding Of the
serious situation in which this action
win leave this office. If the depart
ment in the future has to review the
Of grand juries and nullify
their indictments, then this office
might as well be abolished, for its
viii have ceased to exist.
Neither my sense Of honor nor
public duty aln permit me thus to
destroy the prestige Of this office.
With profound respect and regret
that such a step is necessary, / have
The honor, in view Of my absolute
to agree with the depart
nent, to ask that ] be by wire i'm
mediately relieved from duty in
order that the department Of justice
oe permitted to carry out its policy
n these cases without further OBJ
stIuction by me-

pERWooD SCHEDULES.

ocrats resumed consideration Of the
tariff bill in caucus today as revised
by the majority of the finance com

BRITAIN REPLIES
TO GOVERNMENT
HOLDS THAT VESSELS CAN PASS
THROUGH THE CANAL FREE
OF TOLL.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 3.-Through
James Bryce, the British ambassador,
the reply of Great Britain to the con-
tention of this government that it
has right to pass it's own vessels
through the Panama canal free of
tolls was made today. The reply is
one of the briefest documents of the
kind that has been written, the rea-
son for this hrevfty being that the
present government is soon to 90 out
of Office, and that the British govern
ment has not had time to formulate a
complete answer to all the arguments
of Secretary Knox
Ambassador Bryce, of his govern
ment, holds that as yet there is NO
reason for complaint by Great Brit.
ain, because no acts have as yet been
committed which can give rise to
complaint. He asserts that such acts
however, have been made possible by
the Panama law passed by congress
and urges that the questions likely to
arise be submitted to arbitration be
fore the completion of the canal
Mr. Bryce says that, Great Britain
objects to the law nthe ground that
in the opinion of His Majesty's Gov
eminent, it does not give all nations
an assurance of equitable treatmeni
in the canal.
