Interesting Conference.

The members of the committee on
legislation, which was appointed by the
Indianapolis monetary convention of
last summer, called on Speaker Reed
Friday and talked with HIM concerning
legislation for currency and banking
reform. The spokesman Of the dele
cation were George Foster Peabody,
of New York; John P. Irish, of San
Francisco, and Il. II. Hanna, Of In
dianapoiis. They spoke Of the desira-
bility Of the passage of bill authorize
ing the president to appoint commits
sion to investigate the banking and
currency system of the country, and to
recommend changes. Mr.. Reed told
the committee that the passage of the
tariff bin was the first and principal
work cut out for this session of con-
gress. Congress rarely moved faster
than the people in matters Of legisla-
ton, he said, and when public senti-
ment became crystalized in favor OF
any particular form OF financial legis-
lalion, congress would be apt to re-
spond with little delay. II the people
demanded changes in the banking sys-
tenn and brought pressure to bear on
congress they would secure the
changes. Theconferenee was informal
and pleasant, but had no defuite re-
suits

Kansas INSURANCE, War.

Insurance Commiss oner Webb
McNall at Topeka. Kas, Saturday,
announces that under the 1889 Bur-
ton antitrust law OF Kansas he will
expel all old line insurance companies
from the State or compel them to leave
the secret pool, which he claims they
maintained by means of being subscrib-
ers to Herrson Clakson's rate book
He claims that he has other evidences
of secret pool of rates, in the frequent
and summary removal of agents for
cutting rates below those of other com.
panies. The Kansas statutes empower
him to refuse licenses, if companies dc
not comply with statutes, and this will
be his weapon.
