PHYSICIANS MUST TESTIFY.
Michigan Decision Of Importance to
Life Insurance Companies.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. Dec. A mat
ter OF great Importance TO physicians in
Michigan has been decided in the Circuit
Court. The question came up over the ap-
plication of a life insurance company which
had issued a policy OF $4,000 on the life
of citizen Of Detroit. The company
learned after its issue that the applicant
had misrepresented his physical condition
and began suit to annul the policy They
ascertained that he had been treated at
Battle Creek for particular disease which,
IL IL was true that he was afflicted with II.
would prevent his obtaining life insurance
in any company The physician who treat
ed him was subpoenaed, but refused to
testify or answer any questions. on the
ground that a physicians relations to his
patient are sacred and that he could not
be compelled TO testify in regard TO the
ailments with which his patient is afflicted.
The attorney held that this was true so
far as related to personal matters, but
that under the new State lar; physicians
could be compelled TO testify I'm regard TO
any question relating to public matters or
that in any way affected other persons,
and that IL they refused they could be pun
ished for contempt OF court. just the same
as any other witness. Judge Smith ruled
that the physician must give his testimony
and issued an order accordingly.

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 4.-The Canadian
government has let contract for the car
rying of mails from Juneau, in Alaska, to
Forty-mile Creek, which is also in the ter
ritory claimed by the United States. but
which Canada is now asserting claim to. 1t
is asserted that for a foreign country 10
let contract for the transmission of mails
into the territory of another government
is something practically unheard of in in
ternational affairs 1t would seem that il
would only mean that the Dominion of
Canada, Great Britain's dependency, is
bound to uphold at all hazard her claim
to that strip OF territory extending from
and taking in Juneau to the rich gold
fields of Yukon river. The contractors are
Fred Casch and +. c. Heane, the latter
a resident of Dyea, Alaska. They will
leave Juneau ON their first trip to the
Yukon country Dee. 1s and expect to make
a round trip every two months. The Canad-
ian government thus executes coup d etat
in establishing communications with the
Yukon country. The United States has no
postal service there and the miners now
pay private carriers 81 letter for carry
ing the mail. This move. following the
Canadian governments sending of a de-
tachment of mounted police to Forty-milc
Creek, is taken clear indication of
that country's determination to possess the
disputed territory

GAMBLING AND LYNCHING.
Two Old Dominion Evils vigorously
Condemned. by Gov. O'Ferrall.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 4.-The biennial
session of the Virginia Legislature began
to-day. The Senate organized by electing
William Lovenstein President pro tenn,
and the House by the election OF John F.
Ryan Speaker. The massage Of Governor
O'Ferrall was read. He devotes a large
part Of his message to recommending leg
isiation for the determination Of the race
track and gambling evils prevalent In AL
exandria county, opposite Washington.
Gambling on horse races, he says, has be-
come shame and disgrace TO Virginia.
1t has been carried on the year round. and
has attracted the worst elements from all
parts Of the country. The last General AS
sembly passed an act prohibiting book max
ing and pool selling, which was then being
conducted at Jackson City. but the act
made an exception in favor of chartered
agricultural associations, fairs and driving
at the time to this exception, and finally
signed the bill as a lesser evil, and on as
surances that the fairs excepted would
guard their privilege carefully. But the ef-
feet simply was to transfer the gambling,
and tracks Were started up at st. Asaph
and Alexander island. The Governor sees
no difference between these two tracks.
and vigorously denounces them and the
Grange Camp Association, of northern Vir-
ginia, which perverted its charter to such
law be amended so TO strike out the
exception which makes the racing possible
and also directs attention TO the lawless
state of affairs for five miles along the Po-
tomac river opposite Washington, saying:
THAT part of Virginias territory is made
a typical Botany Bay for the criminal and
degraded classes of Washington City.
There gambling rooms and disreputable
houses display their brazen fronts day and
night, and every species of crime is COM
mitted. The law officers are either power
less or they willfully neglect their duty"
Legislation is demanded to relieve Virginia
of this odium.
On the subject of lynching Governor
OFerrall says: with pain and mortifca-
ton bring to your attention the frequent
taking OF human life without due process
of law within the borders OF our State. In
Virginia lynching cannot be defended; it
must be reprobated. The number VINO have
suffered death by the halter without trials
or sentences OF the Commemorative tri-
bunals OF justice has created abroad the
impression that her judges and juries cam
not be trusted that her people are
swayed by passion and uncontrolled by rea-
son: that her law is dethroned and lawless-
ness reigns.'
He commends the Walton law as approx
imating the object desired-"fair and hon.
est elections" He also commends the
good-road movement, and in a strong areu-
ment defends his course in using the mill
itia TO protect prisoners and property from
violence at the hands OF either strikers or
mobs.

Olney on the Venezuelan question. the As

document is that Great Britain refuses to

is not sent through the United States en-
bassy, but the United States ambassador,
Mr.. Thomas f. Bayard, explains that this
