There ID considerable inquiry" says
MI. Grant, about Wyoming from in
surance companies and agents. Five
new concerns were admitted during the
year.
The commissioner recommends the
adoption of an insurance law similar to
Nebraska, giving the officer m ore power
and the privilege of exercising discretion
In certain matters. He urges that COM
panies be required to give holders ample
notice of policies about to lapse.
SUGGESTIONS.
AS auditor Mr.. Grant suggests numer-
GUS reforms. Following are a number of
special interest
One board instead of two, should equal
ize taxes and fix a uniform valuation for
live stock.
The i'll advised system of allowing re-
bates for double and erroneous assess
ments to counties for territorial revenue
should be abolished" 1t is called cum
bersome and useless.
THE revenue laws are all defective and
Ineffective and if allowed to remain as they
are for any great length OF time.I doubt if
there will be a city or county in the terri
tory but what will be in a bankrupt con-
dition.
Especial attention should be given to
the matter of requiring counties to give
detailed information to the territorial
board Of equalization to enable that body
to act intelligently. The information
now furnished the board is a farce
and may lust as well be abolished. 1t is
claimed that some of the counties do not
return to the territory all the property on
the assessment roll (some OF the boards of
commissioners claiming the power to
Withhold under the R. s., sec. 3S03.)
Others return more than they have. 1t
may be that the latter is done to show
that such county is within the debt limit
as defined by law, or for some other sinis-
ter motive.
THE office of territorial stenographer
should be abolished. It is a very expen-
sive one and an injustice to about half the
counties in the territory, as the stenog-
rapher does not and cannot attend more
than about half the courts, while the 9TH
ers have either to do without or provide
for one in some other way. There is a
claim now pending before this Office for
the mileage of a stenographer from Chey-
emu to Sundancc aud return via Fremont,
Neb. A certificate of the chief Justice
accompanies the claim. stating that this
is the most usual route travelled. The
law should be changed so that such unjust
claims would not become legal against the
territory
In his recommendations Mr.. Grant an
~ticipated a constitutional provision con-
solidating the offices Of territorial ~geologist
and coal mine inspector.
The reporting officer thinks the auditor
and insurance commissioner should receive
: 1000 annual salary, covering fees into
the treasury.
The Office of attorney general, under
the present ineffective law, is a detriment
to the territory" The mandamus rent
case is exhaustively revieweda and the con-
clusion drawn that lit was the business of
the attorney general to prosecute the ter
ritory instead Of defending II.

The Phoenix market will to day make a
marked reduction in prices. While this
may be an unexpected concession it is
made to meet the demands of trade in
view of hard times.
Prices will be reduced, yet quality will
remain the same. 1t will, as usual, be the
aim of this market to place before the
people the best goods and in the greatest
variety.

THE BATTLE IN SAMOA.
Klein Strongly Condemns the Germans for
Their Action

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Feb. Ga Samoan
correspondent of the Critic, who is an Off
Ger of the Nipsic, after describing the bat
tie of December Is, between the Germans
and Mataafaa's soldiers, says: ''This is an
exact and truthful statement Of the battle
as related to me by one of the natives who
participated in it all and also by N1r. Klein,
the New York correspondent, who has
been there and did his best to prevent
bloodshed, Notwithstanding the fact that
all his sympathies are with the rIghtful
claimant of the throne. He says these
poor German soldiers may be condemned
by the German press; they met exactly the
fate they merited for their brazen attempt
to assist usurper whom they hope to use
for advantage and advancement II 1t so be
that they can place him firmly in a seat to
which they and all the world well know he
is not entitled.
1.-The German consul here has said in
public that the natives fired first and they
were instigated to the act by an American

of whole cloth for the purpose of covering

sufferer from infammatory rheumatism is
confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is
reached, that fine preventative, Hoste.ter's
Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of a

CABINET SPECULATION.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6-Cabinet specula-
ton seems to have reached temporary
hating point. The Window boom came
as surprise to many, butts being treated
with a great deal of respect Blaine,
Window, Rusk and WannamaAer stand at
the head of the list tonight and there are
those who believe that each name is a
fixed star Close following these four IA
vorites come the names of Evarts, Warner
Miller, Charles Foster and Judge Estee
This afternoon 200 coal operators and
miners now holding a convention mere
visited the president-elect in body.
The general received them in the
the front parlor shaking hands and chat
ting familiarly. The coal men told the
general they had read in newspapers he
was having good deal of trouble IN max
ing cabinet They kindly offered to re-
lieve him of any further vexation in this
direction and presented him with a caol-
net slate made up entirely of coal barons
and operators. Colonel Bends name heads
the list as secretary of state.
General Harrison enjoyed the joke and
gave them some encouragement he would
accept their slate.
Among out OF town visitors of promi-
nence was Edmund Morton Smith, of
Denver Col, assistant sergeant-at-arms OF
the National Republican committee during
the campaign. He came to present the
president-elect with a memorium, signed

Now that the Window boom has be-

guardedly corroborated through certain
channels, and the doubling Thomases OF

Mrs Harrison and Mrs. Mckee returned
home at IL o'clock tonight from New

soNFlELD AND scHAAck SUSPENDED

BONFIELD AND SCHAAcK SUSPENDED
CHICAGO, Feb 6-Inspector Bonfeld and
Captain Setback were tonight indefinitely
suspended from office. Bonfield and
Setback are the officials whom the Chicago
Times has been charging with corruption
in Office, the specifications being that the
pair were virtually in league with gam
blers. saloon keepers, thieves and the demi-
monde.
The first result of the charges was the
immediate fling of libel suits against the
Times and these suits were added to daily
until the total amount of damages asked
from the newspaper by the officers is nearly
81, 100000
Suspended in company with the in
spector and captain is Detective Lowen-
stein, the officer who, after terrible hand
to-hand struggle. succeeded in arresting
Anarchist Louis Lingg. The suspension
order is signed by Mayor Roche, who was
nominated by the Repu blicans in the ex-
element following the Haymarket affair
and elected on an anti-red flag platform.
The mayor begins his order with a recital
that, The charges against the ae-
per heretofore recognized as an
organ of political party. He disclalms
any intention of determining BY his action
as to whether the accusations are true or
not. The ground for suspension is stated
TO be precautionary or, in mayors own
language, shat the efficiency of the police
system be not impaired" The courts, the
mayor states, have declined to expedite the
trial of the cases which would
prove or disprove the charges. Suspen-
sion is ordered until ample time has been
given for a judicial determination of the
matter or until the charges have been dis
proved"
Mr.. Bonfield was not at all upset when a
reporter addressed him as ''ex-inspector."
He was cool and smiled as cordial well
come as if the reporter was one Of his old
Partisan operatives.

DISASTROUS TO THE KNIGHTS,
The Outcome Of the New York Strike a
Hard Blow to Organ zed Labor.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The great tie-up is
over. Some cars are running on all the
surface roads and on nearly all of them the
full number are running. The reserve po-
lice are still kept on duty and the patrol
wagons are still in readiness. but the Of
ficers have been withdrawn from most of
the cars. The strikers are pouring back to
the depots in search OF work. Generally
speaking the roads are glad to have their
old hands if they come as individuals. The
roads are unanimous in refusing to en-
ploy any man who comes as the represent
ative of &union organization. The Twen-
ty-secoud avenue lines are taking all the
old men BACK. The Broadway lines are
receiving no applications from new men.
On ali the lines the men who are given
work have to sign paper to the effect
that they are not and will not be subject
to the order of any labor organization.
The result will be that there will not be
union car line in New York. This course
was adopted by the Third avenue line on
the last preceding strike and they We're
able to run all cars during the strike just
ended. The Knights of Labor appear
fully conscious of the disastrous defeat
they have sustained.
Charles Walker, the Belt line conductor
who yesterday shot and killed James Nc
GOwan, a striker who assaulted him, was
arraigned in court today and held to await
the result of the inquest. The president
and another officer of the road were in
court and offered TO 90 on Walkers bond,
stating that he was justified in the
shooting.

IN. Y. Cor. Albany Journal
George w. Gable, the novelist, came to
town the other day, as he often does, from
his New England home. He wished to
meet Mr.. Rushton, the Texas cattle rancher,
and went to Broadway hotel where the
man was guest. Cable had never seen
Mr.. Rushton. ''He is about the corridor
somewhere" said the clerk, and so Gable
looked about for somewhat questionable
and rustic figure, such as he guessed the
stranger might be. "Ah," he said, afably
to the first individual of that sort who
came along, "are you Mr.. Rushton." The &C
costed man gazed impudently into the
inquirer's face, and then shortly aa-
swered: mo" Cable is polite little
fellow, and he was hurt by the lack of that
quality in the other; but he passed quietly
along until he encountered a second APP
parent prairie denizen. ''This is Mr.. Rush
toni" he said, affably. "No, sir,r and the
tone was positively insulting, "this is not

to see if anything in his personal appear
ance had become offensive. The reflection
was that of an unobtrusive man, clothed
soberly, and with nothing in his aspect to
rouse antipathy. He sauntered away and
soon met an ideal Texan ranch owner. II
