FIRE INSURANCE
Situation Thoroughly Discussed by Competent Business Men and Remedies for Existing
 Evils Proposed.

MONTGOMERY, Jan. 4.-[Special. l-In
 response to call number Of prominent
 business men from different sections of the
 state and committee of the legislature
 met in the rooms of the Commercial and
 Industrial association here this afternoon for the purpose of thoroughly discussing and acting upon the fire insurance situa- ton in the state.
 Hon. Wilson R. Brown of Sheffield pre- sided over the meeting. IL was from the
 first clearly the sense of the meeting that
 the Southern Tariff association was oper-
 ating as q trust, and was progressively high
 in it's charges and arbitrary in it's reguIa-
 tions. Objection was made to it's coinsur-
 ance and three- quarter loss clauses; to it's
 alleged systematic imposition upon it's cus-
 toners in the settlement of losses, etc. As the law stands companies other than thos.
 under the jurisdiction of the association
 are practically prohibited from doing bus mess in the state.
 Today's meeting drafted through Judge
 Chiffon of this city bill containing the following essential provisions:
 1. Repeating all existing fire insurance laws.
 2. Repeating all state taxes on fire insur- ance coupaniss and inviting all to come in [. 8. To do away with the three fourths loss clause and the co-insurance clause. 1. To require company to pay the face value of policy on real property in the
 event of total loss, provided the applica- ton for the policy is accompanied by the certificate of competent builder that the property is worth the amount. 5. That before policy shall go into effect there must be affixed to it a state stam D showing that the assured has paid into the treasury A of per cent of the amount in
 sured.
 The purpose of removing the tax is that com petition may be increased, and the last provision is to reimburse the state treasury for the loss from the license repeal. It was shown at the meeting that the New York offices of some of the companies
 had proposed to property owners to take their risks at 30 per cent less than tue
 agents of the same compan ies acting under the rules of the tariff association, were
 writing the insurance. The bill is more
 than apt to become law.

ANOTHER KENTUCKY FEUD.

HARRoDsBURe, Ky, Jan. 4.-At 1:50 o'clock this morning Sheriff John I. Va narsdale shot and killed Dr. r. L. Harrod in Lawyers row. The physician had just returned rom the postoff1ce, when he was interrupted by the sheriff, who opened fire on him at close range, firing three shots. The killing is attributed to the re- cent election in this county. Vanarsdale was candidate for e-eection and was op- posed by the doctor. An anonymous cir cular, in which Vanarsdale was asked for his domestic relations, was sent out. Vanarsdale was defeated for reelection and charged Dr.. Harrod with the author ship of the circular. The dead man grad uated at Louisville four years ago and To- cated here. He was native of Ohio and leaves a widow. He had built up a large and remunerative practice, and it is not unlikely that trouble will follow the kill ing, as he had many friends.

LIU KUN VI
HOPING FOR PEACE, DIFFERS HIS DEPART

HOPING FOR PEACE, DIFFERS HIS DEPART
 URE TO THE FRONT.
 LONDON, Jan. 4.-A dispatch to the Central News from Pekin says: Liu Kun Vi, recently appointed successor to u, Hung Chang, in supreme command of the Chinese forces, has postponed his de- parture for the front for a few days, plead- ing illness as the cause of his delay. The fact is that the new commander in chief speaks of carrying out plans for the further prosecution of the war and is scheming to feet arrangements whereby he may be enabled to accompany Chang Ting Huan as peace commissioner to Japan.
 The fatter's departure has in the meau- time Leen delayed. Objection on the part of Japan to receiving Shao Yeo Laen, ex- governor of Formosa, as Chang Ting Huan's fellow envoy, owing to his having offered rewards for the heads of Japanese soldiers, has created vacancy which Liu Kun Vi is anxious to fill.
