MAKES FALSE REPORTS,
Serious Charges Against the
President of an Insur-
anCe Company.
Other Officers in the Concern Are
Defendants In a Suit for
Removal.

DETROIT, MICH, May 10.-A sensa-
tional suit, in which an accounting of the
Michigan Mutual Life Insurance Company
and the removal of President Oscar B.
LOCKER are prayed for, was begun in the
Wayne Circuit Court this afternoon. The
compliments are ex-Vice- President Joseph
w. Dusenbery of this city ct al.
Several officers and directors of the com
pany are made party defendants with the
president. The bill alleges for ten years
past President LOCKER has made false state
ments concerning the com pany's affairs,
reporting the valuation of it's real estate,
for instance, at valuation largely in ex-
cess of its market value. 1t is charged
that mortgages taken to secure future pre-
miums on life insurance policies have been
treated as assets withoutany counterchalge
in the accounts of policy holders or other
wise; also, that the reports made to the
State Insurance Commissioner have en-
bodied policies which have long since ex-
PRED.
Various other charges are made against
President LOCKER to the effect that he has
manipulated the company's balance in his
own interests and with the intent to de-
fraud the stockholders. An investigation
and accounting is prayed for.

TO BOLIVIA
Conclusion of the Treaty
of Peace With
Chile.
BY the Terms the Little Republic
Gains Territory and a
Pacific Port.

BUENOS AYRES, ARGENTINE, May TO-
A dispatch from Valparaiso to-day states
that the treaty of peace and friendship has
been concluded between Chile and Bolivia,
by which the former cedes to Bolivia a
small strip of territory and portion of the
Pacific midway between Iquique and
Pisagua. Chile, in return, receives great
commercial advantages.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10.-The
conclusion of the Chile-Bolivia treaty is
said to be of far-reaching Importance, par
ticularly to Bolivia, as it makes the latter
Pacific coast country after it has been
shut inland for ten years. Officials here
say that when Chile concluded her war
against Peru and Bolivia, the victors took
all the ,seacoast territory of Bolivia, leav.
ing her land-locked, like Switzerland, with.
out opportunity for commerce by the Pa.
cific, and unable to maintain navy. In
1884, treaty of truce was effected between
Chile and Bolivia, but the latter did not
get back her coast territory. After re-
naming hemmed in for ten years, Bolivia
now gains a Pacific port and a strip OF
territory. This will enable her to resume
commerce by the Pacific without crossing
Chilean soil, and it will permit re-estab-
lishment of her navy. Minister Cana OF
Chile has not been officially advised of the
conclusion of the treaty.

SHE rs AFTER FORMOSA.
Great Britain Expected to Back
Up the Peculiar
Demand.
VERY SLY ARE THE POWERS.
They Promise Japan to Have China
Promptly Pay the Big
Indemnity.

LONDON, Eng, May IA dispatch
from Shanghai says that France has for
mally protested against Japan annexing the
island of Formosa and has preferred a
number of prior claims. 1t is regarded as
certain that Great Britain will strongly in
sist on Frances claim.
A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid
says that SPANS adhesion to the three
powers that protested to Japan against the
annexation of territory in Manchuria was
promised only on condition that the pow
ers induce Japan to abandon Formosa.
dispatch to the Times from Paris
says: NJ. Hanotaux, Minister of Foreign
Affairs has invited the leading fnanciers
to meet Saturday to consider the impend-
ing Chinese loan, the ways in which the
bourse might cooperate, and the condi-
tons OH which French capital might par
ticipate. One reason for this action on the
part of Hanotaux is that Russia, France
and Germany, in return for Japan's
pliancy in acceding to their demand, prac-
tically engaged to hasten if not to secure
the punctual payment of indemnity. 1t
will not be surprising if the loan reaches
ESQ, 900. The powers while discussing
so important financial proposition will
not arrive at decision without consult
ing London, without whose cooperation
such an enterprise could not be under
taken.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10.-Large
opportunities of the introduction of Amer
lean machinery and the investment of
American capital are offered by the peace
agreement Japan has Just effected with
China. A provision is made that China
shall hereafter be open to the introduction
of all forms of modern machinery, and
that such machinery shall be admitted
| free of duty.
American cotton machinery should
benefit, especially from the new
opening presented, and also telephones,
electric lights, printing presses and many
other devices of civilization which hereto
fore have been kept out OF China.
The Emperor of China has hitherto pro-
hibited the introduction of modern ma
chinery. AS a result the Chinese are using
wooden plows similar to those used CEN
turtles ago here. Modern tools are included
under the head of machinery and mechan-
zeal devices, so the American pillow and
other implements and tools will enter
China free of duty.
1t is stated that cotton machinery will be
brought at once into extensive use, thus
enlarging the demand for the raw cotton
of the Southern States.
The Chinese use so much cotton that the
Emperor granted monopoly of using
cotton machinery to the Viceroy of the
southern provinces of China. He has since
produced large quantities and has pre-
vented the British and Americans at
Shanghai and elsewhere from using SINH
lar machinery.
Now, however, the Viceroy's monopoly
is at an end and American machinery is
expected to be freely introduced there.
The privileges secured by Japan are en-
ioyed by the world at large, as the most
favored nations clause compels China to
give other countries the same fayors ex-
tended to Japan.

STRIFE FOR A SEAT.
Peculiar Condition of
the Delaware SEN
atorShip.
SOME UNIQUE ASPECTS.
Democrats May Take AdVan-
tage to Delay Republican
Organization.
SOME UNIQUE ASPECTS.
ACTION OF THE GOVERNOR
He VIII Probably Declare No Elec
ton Held and Make an
Appointment.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 1O.-The
condition in which the Delaware senator
ship was left by the adjournment OF the
Legislature of that State is regarded with
special interest in Senatorial circles. 1t Is
believed that the case will present some
aspects that are unique in the history OF
the Senate.
1t is held by some persons that the out
come of the contest may prevent the or
ganization of the Senate by the Republi-
cans at the beginning of the next session.
The Democrats may find 1t to their IN
terest to continue IN control OF the COM
mittees as long as possible. The Delaware
question would be referred to the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections, of which
Senator Gray of Delaware is now chair
man. In the case of a purely partisan con-
test the control of the committee might be
of no little Importance to the Democrats.
Senator Morgan of Alabama in discuss
ing the question said: 1.-THE action of the
Governor in the premises will be of i'm
portance in determining the course of the
Senate when the question of seating Mr..
Dupont shall come up for consideration.
The law requires certificate of election
from the Governor, and while do not feel
that l know sufficient of the facts in this
case to express positive opinion, I should
say that the presumption would be against
a man who would apply to be seated with
out presenting such evidence of the validity
of his claims. I know of but one instance
in which the Senate has seated man in
the absence of a certificate of election from
the Governor and that was in the case OF
Conkling, whose certificate failed to arrive
on one occasion in time for the organization
of the Senate. In that case, however, Mr..
Conkling's election was undisputed. and
there was telegram saying the certificate
was on the way to Washington.
1.-The only way in which the Delaware
Democrats can legitimately secure hear
ing in the Senate is for Governor Watson
TO appoint a Senator on the theory that
the Legislature had adjourned without
electing, and this, I presume, he will do.
In that event, in all probability, there
would be a close contest. I have differed
from many of my Democratic colleagues
in holding that under such circumstances
the Governor of State had right to ap-
point, and that when he did appoint it
was the duty of the Senate to seat the ap-
pointee. This was the question involved
at the beginning of the Fifty-third Con-
gress in the case of appointments from
Washington, Montana and Wyoming, and
then took position in favor Of seating
these men. You will remember, however,
that the verdict of the Senate was against
them"

OBJECTIONS TO DUELING.
Practice of Soldiers and Students Com
aae9ted on IN. the Reichstag.

Practice of Soldiers and Students Conn
meated on in the Reicbstdg.
BERLIN, GERMANY, May 10.-In the
Reichstag Herr Bebel, Socialist, attacked
the practice of dueling, which he declared
was contrary to religion and morality. He
especially commented upon the students
associations, in which dueling was for
mally recognized.
The Minister of war, General Bronsart
Won Schellingdorf, replied that Herr Bebel
was incapable of understanding the views
of army officers on this question. Dueling,
he added, was only resorted to in the army
when all endeavors looking to peaceable
settlement of the matter in dispute had
failed.

Restricting Copper Exports.

LONDON, ENG, May 1.-THE Daily
News says it is understood that an agree
ment has been virtually arrived at with the
representatives of American mines by
which the export of copper from the United
States during 1895 will be restricted to a
certain fixed amount which is somewhat
below the exports of 1894. A percentage
reduction is being made on the European
output. The details of the agreement are
to be ratified at the monthly meeting of
the producers next week.

TRAGEDY ON A SIDEWALK.
august Topper Kills a Servant Gi,G ana
Himself.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 10.-On the
sidewalk in front of SO North Seventh
street, at 9 A. NJ. to-day, in the presence of
throng of passers-by, August Topper,
manufacturer of novelties, aged SO years,
shot Clara Herhold, alias Schmidt, aged
26, twice in the right side. He then sent a
bullet into his head, dying almost in
stantly. The girl died half an hour later.
Topper is married man. He was des-
perately in love with Miss Herhold, but
his advances were coldly received. The
girl came from Germany year ago and
lived with Tepper's family as a servant.
Tepper's attentions became so annoying
to her that she left the place month ago.
Tepper's annoyance of the girl did not
cease, and last week she swore out war
rant for his arrest. As she had no money
it was not served. Tepper's wife refused
to receive his body and it was taken to the
Morgue.

FREE MARINE POSTAL SERVICE.
Mail Matters to BE Delivered among
ShfpDiuO at Detroit.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1O.-The
Postmaster-General has decided to estab-
lish marine postal service at Detroit,
Mich, for the free delivery and collection
of mail matter for the vessels that pass up
and down the Detroit River and CARRYING
a floating population of $500 to 5000. More
tonnage passes Detroit than any other port
in the world. During the season of navi-
cation on the great lakes vessel passed
Detroit every seven minutes during the
day of twenty-four hours. The new ser
vice will, therefore, be continuous, and
will be conducted by means of steam
launch which will be used by the postal
employees. The new service will be main
tanned through the free delivery appro-
priation in the bureau of the First Assist
ant Postmaster-General. Mail will be de-
livered to the vessels by carriers just as it
is to ordinary business houses.

IHe Ranger appears In Time to Chec6 q

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 10.-A special
to morning paper from Bahama, dat ed
May 9, says: The British bark Chala, which
arrived here this morning, carried $50
troops of the Ecuador Government from
Mania, conveyed by the gunboat Coto-
paxi, carrying 200 to Puntasua, off Esmer-
aida, May 3.
In trying to effect landing the troops
met with continuous firing from the shore
and were forced to retreat with heavy
losses. Captain Bayano of the Cotopaxi,
realizing the uselessness of his guns at the
distance from Puntasua, turned his
course to a point nearer to Esmeralda and
began to shell the town effectively. Then
he threatened regular bonn bardment I'M
less the rebels evacuated their position
within twenty-four hours.
At this juncture the Ranger, under cable
orders of the United States to protect
American interests, made it's appearance
1t was a timely entrance on the scene
Captain Watson of the Ranger landed i'm
mediately under flag of truce, and his
wise counsel and friendly influence pre-

Captain Bayano assumed possession.
The rebels remain encamped in the vi

proclaimed its leader. The rebel general,
Bowen, holds Babahoyo, which is on the
