The complaint alleges that as many as 200
applications for fire-insurance policies have
been received at he main ONCE and all arrange
ments have been made for doing business. Not
having complied with legal requirements, il is
held by the Insurance Commissioner that the
union C mot continue in its new line of useful
ness unless IL incorporates and does as any in
surance company Is required 10 do. Pending

SHOT A SENTRY.
Deed of a Daring Burglar at the
preSidiO.

Out at the Preside there is a young soldier in
the hospital who narrowly escaped with his life
last week in a desperate account with burglar.
One OF his arms is IN a sling and the HAND Is
gone. His clothes are der-burned and torn,
aud when he RECEIVERS lie VIII no longer be a
soldier.
His name is Charles Schultz, private in Bat
terry II, Fifth Artillery Regiment, stationed at
the PresdiO.
Last Wednesday night Schultz was detailed
on guard duty. His station was in front OF the
officers quarters-an avenue bOrded on one
side by young trees and on the other by gardens
and cottages. Schultz noticed nothing unusual
until 2:2O A. NJ, when the figure Of a man passed
through the Sill ubbery arOnnd Lieutenant
Colonel YOung's house. He saw the man In the
act OF entering the colonePs house ana instantly
called him.
"Wno goes there ?" was the sentry's call.
There came back no answer Then Schultz
knew that the midnight intruder was burglar
nd should be placed under arrest. He ap-
| preached the burglar. who ran into a clump of

The dark. Nothing daunted ne plunged
| bravely into the Ihicket and vainly endeavored
TO catch the fugitive. But the deeper he pine
trated the shTu 0bery the more hopeless be-
| came his prospect of finding the runaway
burglar.
Schultz stood a minute Irresolute. He rested
his rife on The butt end. holding the barrel In
his hand, while he looked around for the
burglar. who had apparently dropped out
| Of sight as completely as If the
ground had swallowed him. While Schulz
| was in this position the burglar was crouched
close behind him, of which fact the sentry was
| ignorant The burglar stole closer softly and
| grabbed SchultZ's rifle by the stock. He gave
| 10 sharp and wholly un KIP, cted jerk and
| snatched it from the sentry's grasp But
! Schultz held on TO the bayOnet, which was
| fixed TO the barrel. This was more in despera-
| ion than anything else. for he must have for
gotten al the moment his dangerous position.
| Instead of letting go he held on anG in the
| scuffie the bu glar pulled the trigger.
| SchultZ's hand was badly shattered and the
shock oyercame him. Ii was a marvellous es-
| cape he had. as the charge passed almost a
| hairs breadth from his body.
The report alarmed the sleeping settlement.
| Senties ran from all directions ana confusion
| followed. but meantime the burglar made good
his escape through the trees ana over the hills.

her three children are still in the city
it is learned this morning that they will
probably remain here only a few days.
Where they will go on leaving this city is
not definitely determined upon, but a
friend OF the family said to-day the Prln-
cess might go to Southern California to
spend the remainder of the winter and part
OF the spring. This, it is said, is the plan

WHITE ON ORANGES
The Senator Has an Fac on the
States interest.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Ex-senator White
of California as been interesting himself
in securing protection to fruits in this
State. The people OF California say they
will be very much b art if the fruit sched-
ules of the Mckinley bill are not allowed
to stand as they now are. He is particu-
larly anxious to secure protection Tor
oranges, prunes and raisins. In this effort
the California Senator is receiving the
assistance of Florida Senators, who are
very anxious to have the duty on oranges
increased. White says the fruits of Cali
fornia will be compelled to enter into COM
petition with those of the Mediterranean
and MpXco and the result would be for
eign fruits would make IL unDroitable to
raise fruits in California Florida men
think the competition they would have
with the West Indies would be very dam
aging to the orange industries Of that
State.
Senator White thinks that silver lead or g
is good revenue-raisiDg importation. and
he is working with Senator Dubois OF
Idaho to maintain the duty on lead ore.
The Senate committee engaged on the
Wilson tariff bill was again at work this
morning. They made considerable prog
the Dill In shape to permit its being Ie-
ported to the Senate as soon as hoped.
One Of the members said:
I'VE may conclude our work within
three or four Gays and we may be engaged
upon the bill two weeks yet. We are GET
ting ON very we'll. We mean TO have the
bill in as good shape as possible when we
report it. Therefore, we do not intend to
rush it too much"
A report was circulated to-day to the
effect that refined sugar might be discrimi-
mated against by placing a lower tax
upon it than upon raw. a member OF the
subcommittee is authority for the state
ment that there is nothing Ia the story.
'If tie raw article is taken from the
free list and duty fixed upon it," said the
Senotor. There will DO an increase on tho
duty on refined aud it will probably be
