WORK TO COME BEFORE CONGRESS THIS WEEh'
Washington, Feb. 2.-The Blair Educational Dill IS
likely TO consume a large part Of the time OF tho
Senate this week. 1t will come up In the morning
hour tomorrow and the indications are that II VIII
be discussed to the exclusion of else IN the
remaining morning hours of this week. There are few
bills of public interest within reach on the calendar
There is probability of renewal OF the set speeches
on the race problem There is also reason TO believe
that few speeches will be delivered upon the subject
OF the National finances. In the secret sessions the
Morgan and Dorchester nominations are expected to
be called up and the Samoan treaty will probably be
discussed
The Republicans hope to have q quorum OF their
own members present in the House tomorrow or next
day and 10 be able TO force vote, and finally to
dispose OF the pending election case In such manner
as TO preclude the possibility OF judicial Intervention
Meanwhile the Committee on Elections Is preparing
10 report another contested election case for the action
of the House-tha Of Atkinson against Pendleton. from
tho list West Virginia District When this report Is
made il will have to lie day before II can DC
considered. II the attempt is made to consider 1t be-
fore code of rules is adopted another conflict Is GER
tain TO ensue There is expectation that the Com
mittec on Rules will present the new code to the
House within few days, and the discussion ana
action upon II will doubtless fully occupy any ume
that may be left after disposing OF the election case

VIOLATING THE INSURANCE LAW.
THE SECURITY MUTUAL BENEFIT SOCIETY PRO-
NoUNCED INsoLvENT.


Albany, Feb. c.-Thc superintendent Of the Insur-
ance Department, r. A. Maxwell, received report
from the examiners of that Department-Michacl
shannon and John II. Horan-today, showing that the
Security Mutual Benefit Society Of NewYork an assess
ment life insurance company is insolvent. sir Max
we'll will request the Attorney General to take action
in the courts against the officers of the society Tor
violating the insurance laws.
The society," which was one Of the smaller assess
ment companies of the State, was organized on Decem
her o. 1881. The examiners say that up to June.
1885, the society in excellent conditlon' Ihch
the secretary. william D. Chandler began negotiations
with the Massachusetts Benefit Association
looking to transfer Of the member
ship of the Security to the Massachusetts
association. On June IA, 1889, contract was mauc
for this transfer, and Mr. Chandler issued circular
10 the policy holders Of his society," informing them Oh
the transaction. There $500 policy holders ana
all but 200 of them accepted this arrangement IL
was provided in the contract with the Massachusetts,
association that all death claims accruing between
Junc IA and August o. 1880, should be paid by the
Massachusetts, association. Deaths occurred OF per
sons holding policies amounting TO $4,000 Thesc
the Massachusetts, association refused to pay contend
ing that Mr. Chandler has broken his contract IN some
respects The examiners recommend that the Massa-
chusetts association should be required to pay THIS
S27 O00 and IL 1t refuses TO do so that its license 10
do business in this State be not renewed
The examiners say that in their opinion the transfer
of the membership and assets of the Security Mutual
Benefit Society Of New-York to the Massachusetts
Benefit Association "was clearly an evasion OF the
statute" authorizing such transfers. They say that
mot II single provision Of the laws was compiled
with in making this transfer They say also that
money was withdrawn from the mortuary fund for
tho current expenses Of the security, In defiance OF
Chapter 175 Of the Laws OF 1853. ,
The examiners did not send any balance sheet 10
the superintendent showing the assets or liabilities
of the security that the total amount OF the loss
of the policy holders is not known here.

unfinished business, and will have to hold Its place Oh

bate on the measure, although 1t has already been
discussed extensively in the Senate, and has passed
that body at previous sessions of Congress. Mr.
Blair has been highly fortunate in getting his bill CON
sidered so promptly and In securing 1t so favored
