secretary Gage Preparing Measure to BE
Submitted to Congress.
WASHINGTON, June S.-Secretary
Gage IS preparing financial measure
TO be submitted to congress next win
ter. In pursuance of this plan he has
sent out a letter to 200 leading bank
ers and merchants inviting sugges-
tons for reforming the currency.
In outline the scheme will embrace
the gradual retirement of the
green backs and the substitution of
national bank notes therefor; allowing
national banks to issue to the full
limit, instead of 80 per cent. as
now; reducing the tax on ma
tional bank circulation from one per
cent. to one-fourth OF one per cent,
and limiting the denominations of
bank notes and all other paper money
to $40, and substituting silver for all
below So There probably will be
provision for branch banks, and there
is suggestion that state and munich
pal bonds may be used as basis for
not to exceed so per cent of the note
circulation Secretary Gage has, in
fact, already commenced to carry out
his scheme for retiring greenbacks, as
far as possible under the present law,
by locking up in the treasury green
backs and treasury notes. These
classes of no ties have greatly increased
since March 4. and on June L there was
held in the treasury of both classes
about $50, 900. 900.

Interesting Facts and Figure. from tho An.
nual Report of Superintendent AIcNaIL
TOPEKA, Kan, June 3.-State Super
lntendent of Insurance McNall has
completed his annual report, the e7th
of the insurance department. In his
letter of transmittal to the governor,
after devoting three pages to fraudu-
lent secret beneficiary societies that
try to get into the state, to the insur-
ance laws and to the iremen's relief
fund, he says:
There were engaged in the business of fire
insurance in this state in the year 1895 ten mu-
tual companies organized under the laws of
this state During the year they insured prop
erty OF the value of 81, 362. S517S Their total
income for the year $50 767OS They paid
losses in the sum of s45 164. o. and December
81, 1896 they had Is, 734 membefs. There were
% nre insurance companies of other states and
They insured property in this state in the sum
of SLY 909, lilo, received premiums in the sum
OF sl,oA. IS and paid losses in the sum of
$500 91374.
There one domestic life insurance COM
pany doing business in this state in 1896, the
kansas Mutual Life Insurance Co. The insur-
ance written in this state amounted to S457-
.so -. premiums received amounted to $751;
3o3s7 and the losses paid during the year
amounted to S5S,5o0. The amount of insurance
in force December 81, 1895, was Sc 2s5 S74.e5.
There are % foreign life insurance companies
doing business in the state. The insurance
written amounted to S. 973, 563 IS; they collect
their losses paid during the year amounted to
sSo499017 The amount of insurance in force
December 81. 1896. was $50, I23. ore 49,
During the 26 years that this state has had an
insurance department the foreign life accident
and fire insurance companies have taken out
70 the state in premiums the vast sum of S45
3D., 692a During the same time they have
paid back in losses to the people of this
sum OF S2O,6l4, 1858. The argument is made by
insurance people that some portion of this vast
difference is expenses This is true. A portion
OF the same was used in paying salaries of
presidents of companies. One received at one
time 100000 per annum, and one of them at
this time is receiving S75, 900 per annum
Certain foreign insurance companies have
been tranSacting business in Kansas by
permission of the state. They have no re-
gard for the laws of this state, or any other
when the same comes in contract with
their financial interests Their presidents
attorneys and general agents advise the viola
ton of law to doing business in this state
without authority. The this class of
companies is banished permanently from the
state the better it will be for the people of Kan
