AFRAID OF COMPETITION.
American insurance Companies Pu
pOseIy Barred Out of PRUSSIA.

Berlin, Dec. 15.-The Ministerial refer.
ences which have been made in the Reich
stag to the barring out of American insur.
ance companies from transacting any
further business in Prussia have In cked that
strict accuracy which an honest statement
ought to give.
The assertion OF Freiherr Marschan Won
Bieberstein, minister OF foreign affairs
that the companies were suppressed solely
because they did not choose TO comply with
the regulations affecting home and foreign
insurance compaui uies alike totally ignored
the fact that the rules which We're enforced
against the American compan anieS were
drawn up in 1891 by the Prussian minister
of the interior purposely 10 wipe out Ameri-
can insurance companies.
AT The time these regulations were con-
cocted their strong anti-American basis
was frankly avowed by the offit1a Is of the
home office. 1t can further be stated upon
authority that Geheimrath Knibel Dobe-
ritz, of the home office, openly admitted
TO the manager OF an American insurance
company that the hoIDe office was sea rchin9 z
for a way to block out the American insur-
ance business from Prussia. and that he
himself could not rest until he had sue

HARRIrY HAS NO CHOICE.
Wants the Democratic Convention in
Some Convenient CITY.

Philadelphia, Dec. 15.-NatioDal Demo
cratic Chairman Harriiy, when questioned
about the story that he favored New York
as the place OF meeting for the next
national convention, had this to say:
Il have no personal or political choice
as to the convention city other than mat
should, OF course, like tosee Il city selected
that would be reasonably convenient of
access to the delegates and others who
Will attend, and which, by reason OF Its
hotel accommodations, will be able to pro-
vide for the comfort OF those present"
Spea king OF the time OF the convention,
he said: 1T seems to me impracticable
to expect to hold the convention later than
the latter part Of juno OF the beginning
of July, although some may contend for a
later date. II the nominations should
be made in the first week In July. it would
mean nominal campaign Of four months,
and an actual campaign IN which the pull
lie would take an interest or less than
three months. The first month or six
weeks Of a campaign would be necess arily
devoted to preliminary work In which
the general public would take little or no
interest"
Mr.. Harrity declined to express an
opinion as to the Collins res oiution limiting
the number of persons in the convention
nall 10 delegates, alternates, members of
the national committees, and members OF
the press. 1t is generally understood,
however, that he personally favors making
accommodations for a reasonable number
OF visitors, and that he is convinced that
there is no reason to Geviate from the
plan pursued heretofore.

NO REST IN HIS GRAVE.
Body of Edgar Pratt, the Ossified
Man, Stolen,

Wichita, Kas., Dec. ia message re-
ceiyed here from Douglass states that the
body of Edgar Pratt, said To have been
the most completely ossified man in the
world, and who died recently, has been
stolen from its grave.
Some time before Pratt died he was
taken before q medical society In New
York, where his case was pronounced Won
derful. He lived nine years as rigid as
the dead, being kept alive by thin soup
fed through the set teeth.
The society offered him a pension Of
81 900 q year while he lived and his
consent to give his body to the society
after death, which was refused. The offer
so alarmed the family that when Pratt
died the body was buried under a flower
bed in front of his fathers chamber VIM
dow as a precaution against thieves.
The message says the father was called
as a juror to the county seat the other
day and in bis absence the grave was robbed.
