me southeastern Association Get
. ing In Line For n Fight.
Washington. June s.-The Southeastern
Insurance Tariff Association met this
morning as a committee on business. with
Mr. Knowles Of Atlanta in the chair. for
the consideration Of the recommendation
made by President Eggleston in his an
nual report. The principal item discussed
this morning was that Of composition of
the Lloyds and Mutuals. and it was dis
posed Of by the adoption of a resolution
referring the matter to the executive com
mittee. with power TO act TO protect the
business Of the association companies.
Inc matter Of representation by agents
OF companies not cooperating with the
association also gave rise to considerable
discussion aai several propositions were
oHered in respect thereof. One OF these
was quite radical in its terms, proposing
that all association companies withdraw
from any agency In which a non-associa-
ton company was represented But this
was objected to generally. as inevitably
leading TO rate war. The matter was re-
ferred to the executive committee, who
were authorized in their discretion to dis
pose of each case as it should arise, and
they were also given discretion in the
matter OF furnishing tariff to representa-
tives Of other companies
A great many subjects of Importance
dealing with the conduct of the fire insur-
ance business in the states between Viz
ginia and Louisiana were taken up but
the volume of new business transacted was
very small. One OF the resolutions adopt
cd was to i've the PRESIDENT of the asso-
citation power to appoint a special com
mittee to prepare n new schedu Ct rates
and :orms Tor. the 'nsurar &c of co ten.
Another important piece o., legislation
was the adoption of a resolution limiting
to three, the number of agents to be al
lowed each company in the city of New
Orleans, and the New Orleans compact
commission was changed in number from
10 to Z. Still another resolution was adop-
ted limiting agents commissions in New
Orleans to fifteen per cent.

imously reelected as president for the en-
suing year

without the impeachment OF long provision
trains. Is one that all military men must
appreciate.
Again, Japanese soldiers can march more
rapidly than any other troops with the
possible exception OF the native Indian
forces, the Sikhs and Goorkhas. Visitors
OF Japan are astonished when a 'rickisha
man puts stout foreigner in his little gig
and runs ten miles with him at a stretch.
They are surprised at the long walks
which people of the upper class take as
matter of course. and OF the endurance
shown IN manual labor I'm all its native
forms. Now that the 'rikisha man, the
farmer, the wrestler. the artisan. the man
about the country fills the ranks OF the
army, the troops can make forced marches
which would be impossible to soldiers OF
European training and build.
A final consideration Is the Japanese
stature. Soldiers in battle fire high 1t is
obvious therefore. that a short man firing
high at tall one may still hit him. but the
return fire OF the tall soldier would be in
effective. Besides, more small men can

l have now stated the case. The Japa-
nese soldier has the highest type OF cour-
age. patiotism, discipline and marching
endurance; he needs less food than an Eu-
ropean, and he has the best possible build
for a fighting man. The question is. Could
the Russians beat him in battle, the nu-
merical strength of the belligerents being
equal? Speaking as a correspondent,
simply say that when the great fight

japanese. There would be less necessity
with them TO prepare for the vicissitudes
