Brooklyn, Feb. 5.-Dhe Brooklyn
board of aldermen, at a meeting yes
terday afternoon, adopted a resolution
presented by representatives of the
striking motormen and conductors, re-
scinding the franchises and privileges
granted to the Brooklyn trolley lines
which have been connected with the
present strike. Ten were for and eight
against.
When the meeting of the board of
aldermen adjourned, the committee of
strikers called upon Mayor Schferen,
to urge the mayor to sign the resolu-
ton which was passed by the aldermen.
Tha mayor said when the resolution
came before him Wednesday next in
the regular way, he would have some
thing to say about it. He declined to
say anything in advance as to what
he would do.

Madison, February 3.

Mutual town insurance companies
will be given a hearing by Insurance
Commissioner Fricke today on the sub
Ject of the form of policy to be used
by them. Delegates from various of
these companies are assembling in the
city for the purpose of holding their
annual meeting, where it is in order
to talk over matters of interest to To-
cal companies. Their session this
year will be rendered unusually not
able, however, for they are to be noti-
fed by Insurance Commissioner Eric
Ike, in his blandest and most cOnyinc-
ing terms, that they must comply with
the laws of the state; and if it be-
comes necessary he will augment his
persuasive arguments With a clincning
opinion from the attorney general.
These mutual town insurance COM
panies have been doing business in
the state with their own policies, al
though the law providing for stand
ard policy has been on the books since
1891. Out of about 40 township COM
panies not more than half a dozen
are Writing insurance on the pro-
scriUed standard and uniform policy.
Commissioner Fricke, upon taking the
refnS of office notified these companies
that they would be expected to use
tn standard policy, and some of the
companies are inclined to argue the
point. Here is what Attorney Gen
eral Mylrea says about it, in TN opin
ion rendered for DR.. Fricke:
1.-The question submitted 10y you to
this office is whether or not mutual
town insurance companies are obliged
to use the form of standard policy
on file in your office.
Section of chapter 1875, of the laws
of 1891, provides that no fire inSur-
ance company, corporation or asso-
citation, their offices or agents, shall
make, issue, use or deliver for use any
fire insurance policy or property in
this state, except as filed in your office.
1t seems to us that the language of
this statute is so broad that it is not
to he misunderstood.
1T is especially true, as subdiv sion
3 of said section provides, that in
case there is any special provision re-
quired by law to be inserted in the
policy issued by any company, the
same may be made a part OF the
standard policy, subject to your APP
prevail.
1--WE therefore are of the opinion that
mutual town insurance companies are
required to Use the standard policy
the same as any other fire insurance
company"
This decision IS of the utmost i'm
portance in insurance circles and VIII
fundamentally effect the township
companies.

ALITTLE BRIGHTER.
TRADE REPORTS SOMEWHAT
MORE ENCOURAGING.
Promise of a Bond Issue the Cause
SO Says Bradstreet and Dun in
Their Reports.

New York, Feb. 2.-R. G.. Dun
Things looked better near the close
of the week, because it is believed
that a new loan will be negotiated.
There is need for relief, since Janu-
airy closed with the heaviest exports
Of gold ever made in any month and
the heaviest Withdrawals of gold from
the treasury-S43, 46S, 1OS-aud the hope
of a new loan is one thing which has
lifted prices during the past few
days.
January leaves behind it the lowest
average of prices for all commodities
ever known; for cotton, iron and its
products, wool lowest monthly aver
age ever known, and for wheat a
range above the minimum but yet de-
clining rapidly toward that point. In
dustrial operations were not materi-
ally diminished, though it has been a
disappointing month because the re-
vical expected had not come.
The continuing drift Of money to
New York shows a scanty commercial
demand in the interior and no i'm
provement appears here in commercial
loans. In short, business is still wait
ing and finds reason for hesitation in
the condition Of the treasury. Specu-
1ation has not favored producers.
Failures in the United States for the
past week We're 354, against 80 last

Among twenty staple products, four

named were held at an advance

sugar are higher
The grain trade was surprised this
week by 8radstreets report of a rel
atively heavy increase in stocks of
wheat a1oat for and in Europe, as
decrease had been anticipated.

RESTS THE CASE.
Government Finishes Submitting Evi
dence Against Debs ct al.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-UneXpectedly yes
terday afternoon counsel for the gov
eminent announced that it had sub
mitted all of it's evidence in the Debs
conspiracy case. Saturday the prose
cution issued forty-fiye more Subpoen-
aeS for witnesses, and it was expected
that these would keep the government
on the stand all the week. When Mr..
Walker announced that the prosecu-
ton would rest it's case there was sur
prise. The jury was requested to re-
tire and the counsel for the defense
asked for the dismissal of the defend
ants. Judge ThOman, for John E. Nc
Vean, Of Cleveland, O., a member Of
the board of directors, asked that his
client be discharged; that his name
has not been coupled with any of the
others save as being fellow director.
There was no proof that he had been
in Chicago during the strike, and he
had never been in any cOunsels of
the board of directors during the
strike period. Mr.. Walker, for the
government, admitted the representa-
tlSii, UlJ CdlCu Tic dllcllIlou VI lhC
court 60 the fact that McVean had
voted in the convention to order the
strike, and had acted as a member of
one of the committees. Mr.. barrow
asked for the prempt0ry discharge of
Frank Dryer, Dennis Larl1in, James
Mcdonald and John Burke, not one of
whom has been named as taking any
part in a single overt act. He asked
for the discharge of John Hannahan,
against whom, he said, the govern
ment has failed to prove an overt act.
FIe argued for the discharge of the
members of the board of directors.
The court said that he would take the
motion under adyisement and make a
decision this morning. The failure to
secure in time all the witnesses for
whom subpoenaes were issued Satur-
day. was the cause of the sudden
closing of the government side of the
trial

day. when the vote will be taken for

five-minute rule. Mr. Outhwaite's as
sertion that the rule was satisfactory
to all factions of the house aroused
the ire of Mr.. Hatch, democrat, of
Missouri, who Indignantly declared
that it represented only the banking
and currency committee and that COM
mittee represented only banks. Mr..
Hall, democrat, of Missouri. resented
this statement, denouncing it as ''ab-
solutely false"
'If the gentleman does not know
! that" he shouted, ''he knows nothing
about the committee"
| Mr. Hatch grew exceedingly wrathy
| at Mr.. Halls remarks. He agreed to
withdraw what he had said if the gen
tleman could cite single bill reported
by the committee of banking and cur
rency in the interest of the people.

ing to Mr.. Hall, "that the gentleman's
| language is not such as he would dare
to use to me off the floor Of the house

confusion, and the members crowded
about them, expecting a possible repe-
tition of the row Friday last, but the

CHICORA NOT FOUND.
Probable That Dirty Ice Was Taken
for the Hull

Chicago, Feb. 5.-At six o'clock last
night the tug MorfOrd, which left the
harbor i'm the morning in search for
the Ch1cora, returned. The tug made
its way through the ice all the way
to Whiting, Ind, and neither on the
"trip to that place, nor ON the return
was anything seen that in any way
resembled the huh of the vessel. 1t
would have been impossible for the
vessel TO have been in open water last
night and have been hidden from view
of the men i'm the tug this afternoon.
After the return of the tug, the Ora
ham and Morton people announced
that they had given up all hope of ever
seeing the ChicOra, or any of its crew
again. The veSselmen are of the opin-
ion that what was taken for the hull
of the Chicora, was nothing but a
mass of dirty ice.

GERMAN COINCIDENCE.
is SHOWN THE FAMILIES OF
ELBE SUFFERERS.
Berlin Papers Refer to Increased
Bysantinism'-A Damper on Of
fetal Information to the Press.

Berlin, Feb. 3.-A company has been
formed under the presidency of the
secretary of state for the interior, Won
Boetticher, to provide means of relief
for the families of the poor people in
the Elbe wreck. Emperor William
has given repeated proofs of sympa-
thy for the sufferers. 1t is a notable
fact that in connection with the en-
peror's birthday that there was con-
siderable decrease in the extent Of
voluntary Examinations and feasting.
which was mostly of an official char
acter. Some Berlin newspapers, com
menting on this, spoke sharply against
what was termed Increased Byzan-
tinizm" and advised the emperor
rather to rely on the good will of he
nation than on the number of bayon-
cts.
In view of the recent disclosures of
official secrets by means of private
circulars which have fallen into the
, possession Of Vorwaerts, the socialist
,, organ, an amendment to the penal
code was introduced in the reichstag
by Count Won Room and other cOnser-
natives to make it a felony for any
government or other public official to
give information without permission
upon any official matters, the penalty
to be Imprisonment and a fine up to
5000 marks.
The emperor has congratulated the
new rector of Berlin university, Prof.
Pfeiderer, upon his address last Sun
day, in which he spoke Of Catholic
ism and socialism as two of the great
national dangers to Germany.
