KANSAS AND INSURANCE.
An Opinion that tho Law Is Violated
when u Pooling Of iGntcs Exists.

An Opinion that tho Law II Violated
when Pooling OF Hntcs Exists
TorEKA, Kan, April 20. Yesterday
Superintendent of Insurance Snider
asked the Encouragement to what eX-
tent his department had jurisdiction in
the enforcement of the antitrust law
passed by the legislature two years ago
to prevent insurance companies from
combining ON rates on business done in
Kansas, il being charged that the old
line insurance companies had entered
into an agreement upon rates.
Assistant Attorucy-Gencral Allen
wrote an opinion in which he holds
that, rs the superintendent of insurance
IL charged with the execution of all
laws bearing upon insurance business,
IL is his duty 10 ascertain II combine
has been effected and II one exists the
licenses of such companies MS are
parties TO the combines should be re-
voked. lie further says: ut may
he said TO be the duty of county at
torneys TO enforce this law. But in
the enforcement of the law by criminal
process the agents who are evidently
acting under the instructions of their
principals, are made 10 suffer the pen
alties, while the principals, the most
culpable of the two, are allowed 10
escape. Any person familiar with the
insurance business knows that an agent
of n foreign insurance company has
but little To do with making or con.
trolling the rates of insurance
charged by such company, and
the agents desiring TO hold their
positions upon which their daily living
depends are compelled to obey the in
structions of their principals, and, In
fact, are more sinned against than sin,
ming In order TO accomplish the pur
pose of the statute, we should strike al
the principal offender, and II is as much
the duty of the superintendent of In
surance to enforce this law against for
eign or nonresident insurance com
panies as II is to enforce any other Law
upon our statute books relating TO in
surance or insurance companies"

Special to the RECoRD-UN1oN.
SAN Francisco, Aug. I.-At daylight
this morning Inspector C. L. Moves
made most important seizure Of opium
IN Chinatown. He secured five nut-oiI
boxes, and in each of them 100 tins of
opium had been carefully packed.
For three days and nights Moves
watched the opium, but was never in "A
position to make seizure. On Sunday
night he became satisfied, after watching
events until , o'clock in the morning
that the delivery of the precious drug
would not be made until an early hour
this morning. He managed to snatch
few hours sleep.
No attempt was made to take the nut
oil boxes from their hiding-pIace nntil
about daylight this morning. At the APP
pointed hour the requisite horse and
wagon was on hand and the trip to Chi
natown made.
Noyes followed quietly and swiftly and
the wagon never got out of his sight. In
good season the boxes were taken from
the wagon and placed in one of the nu-
merous dug-outs in Chinatown. When
the team drove away Noyes decided that
ne must act alone, and he promptly
marched to the cellar door and demanded
admittance. He was let in, owing to the
unlucky Cinnamon being taken of their
guard. The inspector claimed complete
possession. The thoroughly frightened
Chinese made only one effort to resist,
but they We're quickly brought to terms.
For several hours the plucky inspector
held his ground and until such time as
he could secure assistance, which was not
Ioug coming after the break of day. The
800 tins were forwarded to the Appraisers
building and were removed from the
boxes and placed in the seizure-room.
1t is the very best brand Of Victoria
opium and has a value Of 50. 900. 1t is the
biggest seizure yet made under the Col
lectorship OF John H. Wise.
The opium was part of the great GUAM
tity smuggIed into Portland by the ring
that was on board the Haytian Republic.
Noyes, on his visit to Portland a short
time ago, was more successful in his
search, and in short time he had fifteen
persons indicted by the Grand Jury in
Portland. They were all parties to the
extensive smuggling operation carried
on.
The opium shipped to this city and
selzed by Noyes this morning was a part
Of the consignment that the friends ofthe
indicted persons expected to raise money
on to fee lawyers, when the case come up
for trial. They will derive very little
revenue, as Noyes has ruined their hopes
by seizing it.

NEW ELEMENT OF RELIEF.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA new and unex-
pected element Of relief has been injected
into the financial situation. United States
bonds have reached such a low figure
that national banks see their way clear to
make profit by issuing a circulation
against them. Arrangements. therefore,
have been made by several of the more
prominent banks to increase their circu-
lation from the minimum limits at which
II now stands to such an amount as will
relieve the present tension. 1t is esti-
mated that eight or ten million dollars
will be added to New York's supply of
currency within a very short time. Or
ders have already been placed with the
Comptroller of Currency for part of the
new bills, and some of the banks have
bought bonds preparatory to depositing
them in Washington.
Harvey Fish Il Sons, who make a
specially of Government bonds, to-day
sent circular to national bank officers
urging the importance of enlarging their
circulation. They said: ether is room
for over 800, 100000, provided bonds can
be secured for deposit. The banks per-
form service by increasing their circu-
lation and receive reward in the shape
OF large profits. Bank currency is the
best which the country can have, because
1t expands when needed and contracts
when not needed, instead of, in the latter
case, remaining in circulation to induce
foolish speculations, which hastens and
1ntensifies panics such as we are now
passing through"
INCREASE IN CIRCULATION.
WASHINGTON, Aug. with reference
to the New York dispatch about banks
taking advantage of the low price of
Government bonds TO increase their cir
culation, Controller Eckels said this even
ing that in July the circulation of the
national banks increased over IS. 900, 900.
In the quarter ended July 3lst the net in
crease was over $4,000, 900, and he thinks
IN this month it will be increased at least
that much more. Government 4-per
cents are now quoted at S10S, which is
quite a iaII from the maximum figures.

TO struggle against Illegal coercion is
one of the glories of the Catholic Church,
and this as well as the welfare of the peo-
pie should always be uppermost in the
minds of every Government. If the dis

nopoly of social REFORM"
