IT WAS A LONG CONFERENCE.
It was nearly 5 o'clock this morning be-
fore Senator Quay got his rooms cleared Of
Virginia's twenty Malone men and ex-
Representative Brady. who had been
speech making ever since o'clock. 1t was
all to secure the compromise, so-called, in
the way of the call, which was announced
to-day as satisfactory to both sides. This
statement was made to the President this
morning by Senator Quay and Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson, who got
up early to do it. Nevertheless the
fact remains that Gen. Malone has won the
recognition of the national committee
through Senator Quay, and that he will
continue to control Virginia patronage. He
may give more of it to ex-Rpresentative
Brady. The enti-Mahone men who may
come in approve the compromise, but Gen.
Groner, and similar anti-Mahone leaders
will get nothing. Gen. Malone will run
for governor regardless Of the threats of
knitting him.

LOSSES BY TIE FLOOD.
Life Insurance Companies Out Over
$26o,oOO.

QSOOICOO-
JoHNsTowN. PA, July 19.-Ths business
in Treasurer Thompson's little bank pro
gressed smoothly to day, and about $4,000
was paid out, making a total Of s23, ,s95 for
two days.
Five bodies were found to-day and there
are indications that many more are under
the debris where the men are now working.
Wonderful progress has been made OF late
IN clearing up. The workmen arc so svs-
tematically distributed that they are en-
abled to accomplish much more than for
merly.
New buildings are going up every where
through the town, but few are more than
one story. DR.. w. b. Lowman has rebuilt

LOSSES OF THE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
PITTsBURG, July 19-The losses to the
various life insurance companies by reason
of the flood in the Conemaugh valley will
reach over $250,000 Following is a list
completed to date: Provident Life and
Trust, $1,000; Fidelity Mutual, $1,000 New
York Life, S42, 200; Home Life, $1,000;
American Life, $4,000; u b. Mutual,
$1,000: Etna Life, $4,000; Travellers,
1000; United States Life, SIS, 800; Equit-
able, $25, ,000 Mutual Life, $685. 900; Now
England, $4,000; Penn Mutual, Sll 900:
Washington Life, $4,000; Pacific Mutual,
$1,000; Standard Accident, S5,0OO United
States Mutual Accident, $500; Peoples
Accident. SIS, 900, and various assessment
associations $4,000. OF this amount of
losses $l75,000 has already been paid TO
beneticiaries, and as fast as proofs are made
the money is distributed.
REMARKABLE GOOD LUCK.
One remarkable instance is that of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
which had over 600 pokcies in ConeInaugh
valley and sustained only three losses. The
money is being paid by the insurance COM
panies as fast as it is ascertaiued to whom
it belongs This is a great ques-
ton, and many new and strange complicn-
tionS have arisen, and will arise, and many
suits must of necessity follow. In
come instances whole families per-
ished, and the impossibilty of
proving which of several direct
or possible heirs persisted make them serious
questions. Only those learned in law can
fully understand the many difficulties and
litigation and losses that viii ensue. Upon
the question Of survivorship depends the
direction in which the money must go.
This opens tho door very wide for pre-.
tenders and false claimants to kinship.

TRIAL OF THE PETREL.

a Belief at the Navy Department that
She VIII Prove All Right.
WASHINGTON, July 19-Oficials at the
navy department generally decline to ex-
press an opinion respecting the trial of the
gunboat Petrol yesterday, preferring to
wait until the official report of the test is
before them.
Judge Advocate General Remy, however
says he believes it will be found that the
vessel came up to expectations. The con-
tract called for no definite rate Of speed,
the only requirements being that l, 100
horsepower be developed by the engines
and that was done. 1t is said that the
allowance for extra horse power developed
will be more than Offset by the penalty for
delay in construction, now amounting to
more than $50, 900. The new vessels, Chi
cago, Boston and Atlanta, are to 90 to New
port soon, where their speed and turning
ability will be tested IN accordance with
established regulations, and under The super
vision Of board of officers, of which Com
modore j. @. Walker is president.
SHORT OF COAL.
1t vas stated at the navy department this
afternoon that the Petrol had started on its
trial Thursday with an insufficient amount
of coal, and that after getting fairly under
way il became necessary to resort 20 slack
TO keep up the fires, hence the failure to
make the rate of speed expected. The con-
ditfon Of the furnaces is said to have been
very poor, the fires having been banked Tor
some Dours and the CRATES filled with clink-
ers, while the smokestacks were foul with
scot, seriously choking the draught. An
other trial will probably be made shortly

broad wings, and spring into existence in
few hours. After flying about the lights
for one night they cease to exist. Along
the levee buildings were covered so thick
with these pests that nothing could be seen
but whitening mass of insect life. In
many places along the street they were
three incnes in depth where they had fallen
dead upon the pavement. The stencil from
their bodies was uubearable and the health
authorities had several wagons employed in
