Insurance I)ecision.

The supreme court of Illinois has handed
down decision of great interest to insur-
ance men all over the country. The state
Of Illinois has law that insurance under
the LlOyds plan may not be transacted in
the state. John A. Barnes, who
issued policies in various Lloyds
not authorized by the state insurance
department was fined $500, and
he went to the courts, represented by At
torney Myron H. Beach of Chicago. The
supreme court has decided that Lloyds
may transact business in the state and that
the law which seeks to prevent them from
so doing is unconstitutional. This throws
The doors wide open to insurance men
from other states whom Illinois has tried
to keep out, as the court says that what
mas been granted to citizens of Illinois
may not be denied others.

DURRANT MUST HANG.
LAST HOPE OF THE CONDEMNED
MAN SHATTERED.
United States Supreme Court AT
firms the Decision Of the Circuit
Court of Calffornia-The Decision
was Not Unexpected.
Theodore Durrant Will Hang.


The United States supreme court has
affirmed the decision of the circuit court
of California refusing writ of habeas
corpus TO William Henry Theodore Dur
rant, under sentence of death for the mur-
der of Blanche Lamont, in San Francisco,
in April, 1896.
The news that the United States court
had decided not to interfere with the ex-
ccution of Durrant spread quickly over
San Francisco Monday and crowds read
the announcement eagerly from the news
paper bulletin boards The decision was
not unexpected, apparently; only Durrant
and his attorneys seemed to have any hope
that he would be saved from the gallows.
The decision paves the way for the exc
cutiOn of five other murderers who have
been sentenced to death, whose execution
was deferred pending a decision in the
Durrant case.
Dnrrant's parents were notified of the
decision and were deeply affected.

eRADSTREET'S RE VIEW.
Unreasonable Weather Has Been I'm
UnfavOrable Feature,


UnfavOrable Feature.
Bradstreet's Weekly Review says: Kill
ing frosts south, the raising of quarantine
embargOes in nearly all states invaded by
yellow fever, the resumption of trade and
prospective revival in demand of staple
merchandise constitute the trade features
of the week. Rains in central western and
western states, followed by colder
weather, have favored farmers and
stimulated demand from interior
storekeepers. This has had fa-
vorable effect at Louisville, st. Louis and
Kansas City. Jobbers in northwestern
states are awaiting seasonable weather to
stimulate the movement of heavy dry
goods and winter clothing. Larger east
ern cities report no increase in the gen.
eral merchandise movement. New Eng
land centers report that orders from the
west exceed those from the south or east.
