CRITICIZED SEC. BRYAN.
Henry Lane Wilson Publishes His Own
Letter of Resignation.

Spokane, Wash. Oct. 20.-The letter
to Secretary OF State Bryan in which
Henry Lane Wilson rendered his res
ignation as American ambassador to
Mexico was made public here yesterday
by Mr.. Wilson. The letter was written
in Indianapolis, Ind, August 2S. In part
Mr.. Wilson wrote:
9"I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your note of August IA,
transmitting a copy of a telegraphic in
struction of the department of state to
the American ambassador in London di-
recting him to disclaim all responsibility
on the part of his government for an in
terview attributed TO me- The closing
paragraph of the instruction referred to
states that the president regrets exceed
ingly that a diplomatic official Of this
government should have been guilty of
such an impropriety.' The last para
graph Of note to me states that the
president does not go farther at this
time because he takes it for granted
that the action which he has been
Obliged to take in this matter viii be to
you a sufficient reminder of your official
obligations"
Mr.. Wilson calls attention to mem
orandum of his dated August Is, agree
ing to refrain from public comment on
the instruction to the ambassador in
London or the note to himself, but adds
that he "must respectfully decline to ac-
cept as defnitive or just the action OF
the president or the department over
which you preside" in this matter.
'There is" he writes, "a just limit to
patient silence, and / shall not permit
myself to be made the victim of hasty
and unmerited rebuke without placing
on record with you my earnest and sol
emn protest"
Mr.. Wilson then reviews the crcum-
stances leading up to the instruction to
the ambassador in London. A London
dispatch was published in this country
on August ii stating that one of the
factors determining British recognition
of the Mexico provisional government
was "the congratulatory speech of the
American ambassador on the occasion of
reception to the diplomatic
corps. Mr.. Wilson says he did not be-

source and had decided to maintain an |
attitude of reserve until in the next two |
days he read in the press articles "evi- |

Sent Flames Over a
Wide Area

st. Louis, Oct. 20.--With an estimated
loss OF 100000, the Advance grain ele-
vator at East st. Louis, Ill., was burned
early this morning. Crawling up and
down the strip of land between the Mis-
sissippi river and Cahokia creek the
blaze did another $500,000 damage TO
the warehouses of the Chicago & Alton
railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Clover Leaf railway companies. Rain
saved the city from more disastrous
fire.
The elevator burst open, hurting forth
half a million bushels of blazing grain,
much of which spread out on the river
and still is burning. The entire rail
road terminals of st. Louis, which are
said TO be the largest In the United
States, were at one time threatened
with destruction, as the flames spread
rapidly in every direction. The fire is
believed TO have started in the elevator
Of the Advance Grain Go. and it spread
from that to the Clover Leaf property

AUTOISTS SKIDDED
DOWN HIGH BANK
Three Plainfeld, N. H., Men Had Mirac-
ulous Escape From Serious In
jury on Williamstown Road.

Nothing short of a miracle saved the
lives of Z. c. Waite, c. H. Peterson
and f. d. Rice, all residents of Plain
field, n. H., who were on their way to
this city when a Bdick touring car driv-
en- by Mr.. Waite crashed through a
fence on the Williamstown highway
near the old Gale farm about o'clock
TO day and rolled, end over end, down
to the foot of 30-foot embankment.
The three members of the party re-
mained in the car while it continued its
descent and received only superficial in
iuries. Mr.. Waite and G. H. Peterson
received only a few scratches, while l..
ID. Rice was badly shaken up and taken
to the residence of G. n. Benedict in
this city, where medical attendance was
summoned. Soon after the accident, DR.
Z. H. Bancroft heard their cries for
assistance and Immediately put his au-
tomobile at the disposal OF the party
and carried them to this city. Their
automobile was damaged almost beyond
repair.
The PIainfeld party set out early
this morning and were bent upon reach
ing Barre for business affairs When
near the Gale farm the Buick car was
travelling at a moderate pace as they
sighted a road cart. According to the
automobiles, the driver of the team re-
fused to bulge. Il. c. Waite, who was
at the wheel, slowed down TO about
seven miles an hour as he started to
pass the team. The wheels skidded and
the automobile went crashing into a
guard rail along the highway, which
gave way.
Owing to the rainstorm the top OF
the automobile was raised, and to this
fact, the party attributes their escape.
They stayed inside. and after the car
stopped at the foot OF the hill they ex
tricated themselves and sent out cries
for assistance. DIR. Bancroft soon ar
rived and lent willing hand. Mr.. Rice
seemed injured the worst. although il
is not expected his injuries are serious.
Mr.. Waite, the e,5ner of the car, re-
fused to have the demolished car trans
ported to the city, but intends to sell
the wreekage for its worth where it now
stands. The party returned this after
