The London branches of the Irish

the Irish parliamentary party decide to
wipe out the Healyites IL will find general
approval among the anti-Parnellites. The
expulsion would lessen Mr.. Healy's power

INSURANCE REBATES.
A Meeting Adopts Resolutions Pro-
hibiting Their Payment.


New York, Oct. 12-The executive Off
GERS of all the larger life insurance com
panies attended meeting this morning
called by Commissioner Merrill of Mas
sachusetts at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
The object of the meeting was to consider
the ways and means necessary to put a
stop to the general practice Of rebating
life insurance premiums.
The meeting was called to order by
Commissioner Merrill at 11:S0 O'clock.
The first business done was to exclude
the reporters by a unanimous vote. Com
missioner Merrill offered resolutions raw
oring the discontinuance of the rebate or
insurance premiums which were adopted
The resolutions state that each of the
companies whose names are subscribed,
will not allow any rebate OF premiums di-
rectly or Indirectly; that a referee be ap-
pointed who will examine and decide all
charges of rebating by agents, and whose
decision shall be final; that on the declS-
ion of the referee any person connected
in any capacity with any company who
has made any rebate shall Immediately
be dismissed; that the referee shall pros
many or agent granting rebates in states
where rebates are prohibited by law; that
a fund of $4,000 be continuously main
tained in the hands OF the referee
referee may offer rewards for
Violation of the rebate laws; that the ref
nun and may employ clerical assistance
al an expense of $1,000 annually; that this
Agreement may be modified or abrogated
al any time by a majority of the compa-
MES, parties hereto, at a nfeeting 70 he
called by the referee, or on the written
request of five of said companies; that
each company, party hereto. shall imme-
diately notify all its agents OF the adop-
ton Of this agreement and that the same
shall go into effect on and after Nov. ],
1895.
The meeting adjourned shortly after
O'Clock this afternoon, and 1t was then
announced that all but three OF the com
panies had signed the agreement. The
Travellers and Connecticut Mutual re-
fused to have anything to do with the pro-
quested time to think the matter over
more fully.
Commissioner Merrill Aamed ex-Gov.

the referee called for in the agreement.

SOUTH AMERICA AND CUBA.
The Republics Afraid to Recognize
the RevOIutiOnists as BeIIIgerents

The Republics Afraid to Recognize
the RevOIutiOnists as BeIIigerents.
Washington, Oct. 12.-It is learned from
an authoritative source to-day that none
Of the Central or South American govern
ments will take the initiative in recog-
nizing the belligerency of the revolution
ists in Cuba. The press of these countries
so far as can be judged from this point
is unanimous In its sympathy with the Gu
bans. Fear Is expressed, however, that rec
ognition of the revolutionists by Venezue-
la, Nicaragua, Brazil, Guatemala or even
Mexico would be followed by the dis
patch of several Spanish men of war to
their principal ports, demanding both an
explanation and satisfaction. AS Spain
has navy about equal to that of the
United States, she would have under these
circumstances a sufficient number of YES
sells for this purpose at half a dozen points
on the American continent. As none of the
countries in the western hemisphere, ex-
cepting the United States and Chile, pos
sess navy worthy of the name, no rec
ognition of Cuban rights will be made by
them for fear of the consequences. 1t Is
said to-day that as soon as the United
States or Great Britain or one of the con-
tinental powers move in the matter, their
action will be speedily followed by all the
Spanish-American republics on this con-
tinent.

SEOUL AGAIN IN TURMOIL.
AN AMERICAN GUNBOAT SENT To
WATCH EVENTS.

Officers of the Kings Party Reported
to Have Taken Refuge in tho
United states Legation After the
Assassination of the Queen-The
state OF Affairs Similar TO That
which Led Up to the Chino-Jap-
anese War-Prfnce PAX, Who ts
Looked Upon as the Coming Dic-
tator of the Country, Now in Wash-
fngton.
Washington, Oct. PA cipher dispatch
was received at the navy department to-
day from Rear Admiral Carpenter, COM
mandlDg the United States feet on thu
Asiatic station, reporting a serious condi-
tion OF affairs in Korea. Admiral carpen-
ter also reported that he had sent thu
gunboat Petrol from Che-Foo, China, for
Chemulpo, Korea, the port OF Seoul, tha
capital. The Petrol left Che-Foo to-day.
No orders have been sent by the navy
department to Admiral Carpenter, with
reference to the Korean situation, and lt
Is stated that the distribution Of his fess
vices from Seoul have reached the stata
department.
Prince PAX, formerly secretary Of the
interior in Korea, and now an exile, Is
in Washington. He has called on Secre-
tary Olney and Acting Secretary McAdoo
anu presented letters OF lnLfOQuCIunt UuN
did not talk on matters Affecting tho
Korean political situation. If the report
be true that the Queen OF Korea has been
assasslnated, Prince PAX will probably re-
turn to his native country.
Rear Admiral Carpenters cablegram
respecting affairs in Korea was transla-
ted this afternoon. 1t Is dated Nagasakis
Oct. IL. He said 1t was reported therd
that affairs In Seoul, KOrea's capital.
were much disturbed. He heard reports
Isa snat the queen had probably been assas- ss..

states legation, At the urgent demand
of the charge d'affaires the marine guard
Of the Yorktown had been sent to the
legation on that date. the 11th inst, 10
protect the property and persons there,
The situation which confronted tho
events covered in Admiral Carpenter 8
cablegram, was similar TO that which
was Instrumental in bringing about the
Japanese-Chinese war. II was because
Of an insurrection that both China ana
Japan sent troops into Korean territory
and this ultimately led to The hostilities
between the two countries. II was
through the efforts OF the Queen OF Ko-
rea, now reported to be assassinated,
that the king caused the arrest and exile
OF Prince PAX, now in Washington. The
leader of the party opposed to the queen
is the kings father, and his accession to
the control of affairs may result In tho
return Of Prince PAX, who il looked on
as the coming dictator Of his country.
The king Is said 10 be a honentity VINO
will not figure except nominaiiy IN ruture
Korean history.
The reference IN Admiral Carpenters 8
dispatch to the charge a affaires at Seoul
showed that Minister SIN Is absent from
his post At the state department noth-
ing Is known OF his whereabouts, but It is
presumed that he is absent only tempo-
falres Il H. ~ Allen, formerly a mis-
sonary in Korea, and at one time con-
nected with the Korean legation IN WASH

OF the legation
