The dispatches from Ireland cay
the people of that country are facing
famine and destitution, owing to
the entire failure OF the crops, caus-
ed by the continuous rainfall The
latest reports are to the effect that
i. will be impossible for the farmers
to save anything from their farms,
as the product of their labor is rot
ting in the fields. At q meeting Of
the Board of Guardians, at Mitch,
ellstown, County Cork, Saturday,
the Chairman said; The potato
crop is generally failure. while the
other crops have beea hopelessly in-
jured by the unparalleled inc eneney
OF the season. We are on the verge
of great agricultural crisis. The
outlook in farming affai, is gloomy
in the extreme, and to aggravate the
condition of affairs caused by the
failure of the potato crop. the pricss
of provisions are considerably III
creased, and before long the people
who are supposed to contribute to
the poor rates would be in work

Suits Filed to Kill the Insurance Trust.

Suits Filed to Kill the Insurance Trust.
Jefferson City, No, Sept. 6.-Two
of the four suits which Attorney
General Grow will bring against the
Insurance companies forming the
Insurance trusts and their agents
were filed in the Supreme Court to-
day. The institution of these suits
was practical celebration of Labor
day which will be applauded by
those who toll.
One Of the suits brought today is
against twenty six companies form
ing the Kansas City trust, and the
other Is against the American Cen
tral Insurance company and the Cit
izens' Insurance company, both OF
st. Louis, which ere organized un
der the laws Of this State. The
American Central of ST. Louis viii
be remembered as the compan,
which deposed It's st. Joseph agent
j. J. Garth, because he would not
become member of the St. Joseph
insurance com bination. The Su
preme court is asked to oust each o.
the companies from their privilege
in the State.
The two suits which yet remain tt
be brought are: Quo warranto pre-
ceedings against Manager Fetter ano
each of the agents forming the Kan
sss City trust, and the suit dissolr
ing the tiust, which is operative
throughout the State of Missouri.
In the first suit brought there
will be no dispute as to question o.
fact. Manager Fetter Of Kansa:
City has admitted to the Attorney
G eneral and Insurance Commission
er that combination exists in Kan
sas City, and that he (Fetterl fixes
the rate. The result hinges on the
constitutiorality of the law. which
excepts insurance companies doing
business in Kansas City and st
Louis from the provisions of th,
antitrust law The ccntension ot
the Attorney General is that this
provision of the law is clearly un
constitutional
The suit is brought in the court
en- banc for the October term. The
wording of the suit is voluminous
as each of the twenty-seven compsr
les is separately discussed.
