three hours, throughout which there
was an animated discussion. John r.
Hegeman, president of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance company, of this
city, presided, and George ". Perkins,
third vice president of the New York
Life, was secretary.
Following is the plan practically
adopted:
Whereas, The rebate of insurance
premiums has become an admitted evil
of such magnitude that the legislatures
Of twenty-One states have enacted laws
forbidding rebates and providing pen
alties for violations of such laws;
Whereas, Although the courts have
confirmed the validity of such laws
they have generally been a dead letter;
Whereas, Life insurance companies
have placed themselves on record,
without exception as believing mat the
discontinuance of ~ebating, whether
prohibited by law or not, would be
equally for the best interests of the in
sured, the agent and the company;
Resolved That each of the compa-

1t now develops that all the while
the fight was in progress over the
Short Line properties, the Union Pa

manner that reflects credit upon the

Master in Chancery Cornish an
nounces that now there is a cool two
million dollars su.plus on hand to be
divided up on Short Line properties.
Quite awhile ago the Union Pacific
people set about Topping off expenses
attached to the Short Line, and in
every conceivable way offices doubled
up" and the operating expenses were
scaled down to the minimum. Every
thing was done on that order that
could be done, but not in a manner to
impair the service. At the same time
they set about building up a local
traffic-its local traffic that pays-and
now comes the evidences of the wis
dom of this. Only a few people have
been in the secret of why that stock
has been moving up of late, but the
stock brokers are quick to get on to
things the general public has no
knowledge of Present indications are
that Short Line stock will keep moving
up yet awhile.

The local passenger rate war that
for a week demoralized business. is
over, but the causes that led to the
traffic fight between the UrlcnI FJa-
cific and Rio Grande Western remain
to be considered with THIS Phase of the

were being made here fer the Repubn

the Republican state committee, sub

and "a big crowd came down and she
committee was able to make a Show
ing.
But While these tickets were being
peddled about the streets, the regular
conference tickets were on sale, and as
the latter were more than twice as
much, of course it demoralized bust
ness.
The responsibility for all this rested
upon the committee. The Western had
a perfect right to give the rate it did
on the number of passengers guaran-
teed, but it had no right to cut under
the agreed rate. 1t was not the rail-
road that did this. but the committee,
and the Union Pacific claimed tllflt it
was entitled to protection on the agreed
rates, and that the fact that the cut
ting was done by a third party did not
alter the status of the affair at all. The
agreed rate was knocked sky-high. the
market was flooded with cheap tickets
and the Union Pacific claim that it was
to meet this condition that it inaugur-
ate1 the cut rate.
Now the war has been adjusted, as
everybody knows. but the cause will
yet receive consideration.
General Passenger Agent Wadleigh
has already gone to Denver and Mr..
Burley. of the Union Pacific, leaves for
that city this morning. and a general
conference will be held The object is
to place the passenger business on such
a basis as to prevent any repetition of
the recent war.

Cyanides Pronounced 81 Success.
For some weeks past an interesting
series of experiments has been con-
Quoted in newly appointed West Tenn

work of the chemists and metallurgists
was pronounced satisfactory and the
returns of the tests checked out ex-
actly. The gentlemen at the head of
the little enterprise which gives 50
much promise for the future are Cap

Howard. They have fitted up a splen-
did laboratory and assay office on West
Temple street and the experiments car

had to do with the reduction of Mercur
cyanides to bullion. Captain Whitall
has evolved a process which he and his
associates have demonstrated will take
care of the gold in the cyanides and
produce the bullion 1000 fine.
When returning to the city a short
time ago President Dern, of the Mer-
cur company. brought in a small pack

captain and the other gentlemen with
whom he is associated in order that
the experiments may be made on a
practical basis Mr.. Dern yesterday
received back the return and the gold
checked out satisfactorily. 1t is now
not at all unlikely that the Mercur peo-
pie will give the captain and his as
sociates some shipments of mill product
and the gentlemen declare that they
will soon be able to take care of the

scooped in for his company another
slice of business that is fully up to the
average.
This time it is the big Santa Fe com

kind of light and heating apparatus
in their cars that run between Chicago
and Los Angeles. That company is in
tending to get even with the Sunset
Limited. that is rival line Right now
they have taken in the first lot OF

in the future. This ground was origin

season he made it produce considerable
placer gold. His application for patent
was contested by Hays, and there the
battle commenced. Now the gentlemen
will work for the development of the
property and the territorial mineral re.
