GU.- WALLAUB DAD NAMgUS TnIANA 20LZ1-N5, AV TZOE AND DZIHONAT. Died at Crawordwile,. Aged Sventy Mght Years, AZftr Protnkged Iln=s---Nis career. Gen. Lew Wallace, author, former Ameri can minister to Turkey, and veteran of the Mexican and civil wars, died at his home In Crawfordsville. Ind., last night, aged seventy-eight years. The health of Gen. Wallace had been waning for several years, and for months it had been generally krown that his vigorous constitution could not much longer withstand the ravages of a wasting disease. For more than a year ho had been unable to properly assimilate food, and this. together with his extreme age, made more difficult his fight against death. At no time had he ever confessed his belief that the end was nea', and his ragged constitut on and remarkable vitality Gen. Lew Wallace. ((p-yright, 3904. by Nicholson.) had been responsible for prolonging his life. Besides his physician. only Mrs. Wallace. hi son. Henry Wallace of Indianapolis, and his wife were present at the end. When told by his physician that he was dying Gen Wallace was perfectly calm, and his last words were expressions of cheer to his grief-stricken family. Bidding them fare well, he said: "I am ready to meet my Maker," and lapsed into unconsciousness from which he did not recover. Was a Native of Indiana. Lewis Wallace. known in every English speaking country as the author of "Ben Hur," was born in Brookville, Franklin county. Ind., April lo, 1827, received a ccmmon school education, and at the be guming of the Mexican war was a law student in Indiana. At the call for volun teers he entered the army as a first lieuten ant in Company H, 1st Indiana Infantry. He resumed his profession in 1848, which he practiced in Covington and subsequently in Crawfordsille, Ind., and served four years in the stite senate. At the beginning of the civil war he was appointed adjutant general of Indiana, soon afterward becoming colonel of the 11th In dinna Volunteers, with which he served in West Virginia, participating in the capture of Romney and the ejection of the enemy from Harper's Ferry. He became brigadier general of volunteers September 3, 1861, led a division and the center of the Union lines at the capture of Fort Donelson, and displayed such ability that his commission of major general of volunteers followed on March 21, 1862. Participated in Battle of Shiloh. The day before the battle of Shiloh Gen. Wallace's division was placed on the north side of Snake creek, on a road leading from Savannah or Crumps Landing to Purdy. He was ordered by Gen. Grant, on the morning of April 6 (the first day of the battle), to cross the creek and come up to Gen. Wil lIam T. Sherman's right, which covered the bridge over that stream, that general de pending on him for support: but he lost his way, and did not arrive until the night. He rendered efficient service in the second day's fight, and in the subsequent advance on Corinth. In November, 1862, he was president of the court of inquiry on the military conduct of Gen. Don Carlos Buell in the operations in Tennessee and Kentucky. In 1863 he prepared the defenses of Cincinnati, which he saved from capture by Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith. and was subsequently assign ed to the command of the middle depart ment and the 8th Army Corps, with head quarters in Baltimore, Md. Fought at Monocacy. With 5,800 men. Gen. Wallace intercepted the march of Gen. Jubal A. Early, with 2800 men, on Washington, D. C., and on July 6. 1864, fought the battle of the Mo nocacy. . Although he was defeated, he gained suffieient time to enable Gen. Grant to se'nd re-enforcements to the capital from City Point. By order of Gen. Henry W. Halleck, he was rernoved from his com mand. and superseded by Gen. Edward 0. C. Ord; but when Gen. Grant learned tbe particulars of the action he immediately reinstated Wallace, and in his official re port in 1865 says: "On July 6 the enemy (Early) occupied Hagerstown, moving a strong column to ward Frederick City. Gen. Wallace, with Rickett's division and his own command. the latter new and mostly undisciplined troops, pushed out from Baltimore with great promptness, and met the enemy in force on the Monocacy, near the crossing of the railroad bridges. His force was not sufficient to insure success, but he fought the enemy, nevertheless, and, al though it resulted in a defeat to our arms, yet be detained the enemy, and thereby served to enable Wright to reach Wash ington before him."' Member of Notable Courts. Returning to his command, Gen. Wallace was second member of the court That tried the assassins of President Lincoln, and president of that which tried and convicted Capt. Henry Wirs, commandant of Ander sonville prison. Gen. Wallace was mustered out of the volunteer service in 1855, returned to the practice of law in Crawfordsville, was gov ernor of Utah in 1878-'81, ant in 1881 be came United States minister to Turkey, serving until 1885. when he again resumed practice in Crawfordsville. He has lectur ed extensively in this country, and was the author of other successful novels besides "Ben-Hur,"' one being entitled- "The Fair God," a story of the conquest of Mexico. Of "Ben-Hur" over 300,000 copies were sold. He wrote also a "Life of Benjamin Harrl son"~ and "The Boyhood of Christ." Gen. Wallace was married to Susan Ar nold Elaton, an authoress, born in Craw fordsville in 1830, in 1852. DR3ATrING THE NAVAL BILL. The Measure Taken Up by the Eouse for Amemmmt. In the House debate on the naval appro priation bill yesterday afternoon Mr. But ler (Pa.) upheld the proposed increase in the number of battle ships, saying until all selInshness had disappeared men would strike and couintries would strike. The Spaniards. he said, did not dream such men as Captain Clark and Engineer tmyllgn of the Oregon lived. He then detailed the story of the trip of that vessel around the Horn and her part in the battle of Santiago, and said that in the hurry of business Cen gress had forgotten a duty it owed to those two men. Mr. Butler, turning to the subjet of the Philippine., eticited demwoatio aisea when he said he hoped thewe b~ e found some ansb wbl st id of them. He advised thisumn t eep watch of Mpaa.5 a rins w were"ne sin4 ead etr - W'ied- sm " a~,the u1111AWA"U aWgV 41118 r tile !ntte 9 IN- 0 Mr. Lacking nick.). while nlieYin maintaining the present 06 m S navy, iws oppeed to th idea 11 111111111 expendituras for sWiL His .

Incidentally he charged that the United States steet--coeOratid was furnishing stee tw bgid up the British and other navies at about one-third thU cost fo the United Mateoe - Er. Cockran (W. T.) opposed the idea of a large standing army or a big navy. Ref to the Venezuelan dpute witi Hagland. . Cockran declar that the greatest triumph ever won in -the history of the UVnIted Stateo was "when Secretary Olney wrote' a dispatch affecting the greatest power in ...e world," when the navy was about one-fifth Its present size. Mr. Cockran discounted the efficiency o battle ships against each other in the op erations around Port Arthur, and asserted that it was the mines placed in position bY row boats that laid low vessels of that kind. Mr. Douglass (N. Y.) made a plea for more liberal treatment of the consular serv ice. Mr. Slayden (Texas) opposed the pro posed increase in the naval establishment by two battle ships. The bill then was read for amendment. The House voted down an amendment offered by Mr. Rixey (Va.). striking out the proposed increase of three thousand men for the navy, although on a point of order by him the provision permitting their im mediate enlistment was stricken out. After several amendments of a minor na ture had been voted down, the bill was laid aside. Following the presentation of the confer ence report on the omnibus claims- bill, the House at 5:10 p.m. adjourned until today at 11 o'clock a.m. The New -Snow Regulation. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The Commissioners' new snow-removal regulation has all the vicious features of any importance embraced in the act of Congress of May 24. 1904. which was in the McGuire case declared null and void by the Court of Appeals. It is, in fact, a sub stantial transcript of the first section of this act, as will appear at once by com paring them. . I might add further reasons than thost stated by the Court of Appeals-for holding the act and regulation unconstitutional and voidable. They attempt to force free-born citizens, under pains of penalties, to invol untary servitude. They make them mere peons. to do scavenger work upon property not belonging to them, but -to the govern ment or municipality. For it must be remembered that in this city property owners do not own to the center of the street. but the government owns streets, sidewalks and terrace. It they owned the sidewalks they might pos sibly be forced to remove snow and Ice from them as nuisances. Because snow falls and lies upon the sidewalk opposite the lot of a citizen make. it no more legally incumbent upon him t remove it than it does to remove the snow from other parts of government property. If one falls and is injured by slipping con ice or snow on the sidewalk lie has no right of action against the owner of the adjacent premises, but must resort to the municipality or government. There is not only the most gross and glaring inequality in the tax imposed. but also an inequality in the benefits to be con ferred. The owner or occupant of the premises bears the whole burden, and only shares the benefit with the thousands who con tribute nothing. In cases of vacant lots the owner would get no benefit whatever. Is it not startling that in view of this ad judication of the highest tribunal In the District that the Commissioners should at tempt to enact substantially the same law? But, as before said, the regulation Was drawn up by the district attorney and only "approved" by the Commissioners. Without some explanation would it not appear to be contempt of court? An act also of usurpation and rebellion? It is cer tainly the most drastic exercise of legisla tion. It provided for the fining and im prisonment of free citizens guilty of no of fense save only the omitting to obey the bidding of their masters. As well might they be sent to the chain gang -at once and dressed and clothed in stripes, and then forced to do this scavenger work. That sidewalks, as well as gutters and streets, should be cleared of snow and ice whenever practicable is evident. But how shall it be done? Most unquestionably in the most business-like and inexpensive way -by similar provisions as those now hp plied to clean the streets. The work could be done systematically and efficiently by the same forces now employed to sweep and clean the streets, with 'comparatively little added cost. Absence or sickness or ir.ability-In the case of women and minors would often leave the work undone, or im perfect, under the proposed force system. If the Commissioners would forego the asking for money for superfluous purposes, on matters of questionable importance, and ask Congress to increase the appropriation for cleaning the streets, and have it apply also to sidewalks, it would undoubtedly be granted by Congress. as has been done to clear gutters and crosswal1ks. This method of doing the business would certaflmr be less uncivilized and barbarous and mor-e business-like than that contem plated by the Commissioners, and would leave the police free from the uncongenial work of harassing the citizens, and haling them down to the Police Court, and there dancing attendance to give evidence in each case, and would leave them free to dis' charge their more congenial and proper duties as detectives of real criminals anc to act as guardians of the public peace. Since writing the above I see that ex Senator Henderson has written the Coin missioners taking substantially the samet view of the duty of-'city and government to keep sidewalks clear from ice and snow as by me expressed. And that his position Is approved by Commissioner Macfarland. I differ with him only in the mode of rais Ing of the money to do the work. It should come under the general appropriation to clean streets, as before stafed. Matters o1 much less necessity than keeping the side' walks clear from Ice and snow might be knocked off, and there would le plenty of money from the general tax to defray the expenses. R. L. B. CLARKE. Cold Shuts Down Coal Mins. A dispatch from Wilkesparre, Pa.,* says: Owing to the cold weather, which retards the movntent of freight, several of the largc mining companies in this region, among them the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, have been compelled to suspend operations for the rest of this week. . Great difficulty Is being experienced in moving the coal cars to ports and in getting cars hack to collieries, and the daily shipments have be come so small that the beat way out was to shut down for three days, when sufficient cars could be secured to keep the collieries runqing at their full capacity for a time.
