SUES METROPOLITAN LIFE.
Others Besides McNall Make Trou-
BILE for the Company

Clyde Charles, Lee F. Charles and
Harvey E. Charles brought suit in the
court of common pleas at kansas city
yesterday against the metropolitan 1l1e
Insurance company to recover $54S AZ on
a policy issued by the company on the
life of Mrs. Bertha E. Emery. The suit
recalls the fight made on the MetrOpOli-
tan company by Insurance Commits
sioner McNall, which resulted in Mr..
McNaH barring the company from do
ing business in Kansas.
According to the petition filed yeSter-
day, Mrs. Emery took out a policy in
the Metropolitan company October 10,
1885, for $28S. The terms of the policy
provided that if she died within six
months after issuance of the policy the
beneficiaries were to receive One-fourth
of the policy, or $12. She afterwards
took out another policy for $500. Ac-
cOrding to the terms of this policy the
beneficiaries were to receive the full
policy in case of death. However, it
provided that in case death should oc-
cur before the first years premium was
paid the same should be taken out of
the amount called for by the policy.
Mrs. Emery died February 3, 1897,
about four months after she had taken
were presented the company refused to
pay them, alleging that Mrs. Emery had
misrepresented her physical condition
at the time she was examined for the
insurance. The matter was talked over
between the representatives of the COM
pany and Attorneys Morse & Morse,
VINO represent the Denenclar1eS, DuL no
agreement could be reached. Commis-
Sioner of Insurance Webb McNalI was
called in to assist in compelling the
company to pay the policies. Mr.. Nc
Nall made an investigation of the case
and ordered the company to pay. The
company ignored the commissioners or
der and as result it was barred from
doing business in the state.
The company ceased business opera
tions for short time and then brought
suit in the federal court to enjoin Nc
Nall from interfering with its business.
A temporary injunction was granted
and the case is still pending in the fed
eral court.

MINNIE BEALS' CAREER
Is Recalled by a Request From Her
Mother for Her PortI ait

There are few people in Topeka who
remember Minnie Beals. The story of
her mysterious death is recalled by the
recent action of the Topeka Musical un-
ion.
1t was 20 years ago that Minnie Beals
was the leading singer and a universal
favorite in Topeka. She was promi-
nent member of the musical union and
her friends all predicted for her a ca
reer of success.
While at the height of her glory Prof.
Worrall painted a life size portrait or
the singer and it was presented to the
musical union. Not long afterWard MISS
Beals was married to Lieut.. Reed of the
United States army, nephew or Cen
Butler.
It was said at the time that the young
army officer married Miss BealS so that
he might furnish the money for contin-
uing her musical education. 1t is GER
tain that either on the same day or the
day following the marriage the bride
went to Paris to study music. In about
a year a report came that she had
death failed, and to this day it is
shrouded in mystery. 1t is said by some
that she did not die, but disappeared.
F. T. Baker, then editor of the Com
rnonweaIth, who went to Paris shortly
after the report of her death, made an
investigation, but he never made the
report public, and even his own son, c.
c. Baker, says that he never knew
what his father found to be the facts
concerning the disappearance.
A few days ago letter came to Prof.
Worrall from Terra Blanca, N. M,
where the mother of Minnie Beals Reed
lives The writer stated that Mrs
Beals is paralyzed and very old and she
begged to have the old portrait of her
daughter owned by the musical union
of Topeka 1t was proposed to buy the
picture Prof. Worrall called a meet
ing of the members of the union, and
they voted unanimously to donate the
portrait to Mrs. Beals. The picture was
boxed up and was sent to New Mexico

CONFERENCE FRIENDLY.
Negotiations Between the q. S. and
Great Britain Proceeding
Smoothly

London, July A.-The negotiations for
an internationa conference as to sealing
in the Behring sea are proceeding sno 9TH
ly and the prospects are favorable for an
early agreement between the two govern
ments. Ambassador Hay had a long and
satisfactory interview yesterday with Mr..
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, and afterwards met Lord Sails
bury. Later in the day he sent several
code dispatches to Secretary Sherman.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
1--WE are given to understand that Mr..
Foster is not conducting the negotiations
with Great Britain in the Behring sea
controversy, his position being defined by
his own side, that of adviser on the
technical questions. We are asked to
state that all negotiations with Lord Sal
isbury on this subject are conducted by
Ambassador Hay. 1t would seem unneces-
sary to most people that this should have
to be officially stated, but there are rea-
sons why the actual position should be
properly described.
TT may be said on very good ground
that the United States government is anx-
ious in this as in other matters to adhere
to the usages of diplomatic courtesy and
negotiations in this country have been
conducted in the most friendly manner"

Squabbled Three Hours Over Minor
Matters Then Adjourned.

Washington, July 24.-When the

last evening Mr.. Dingley moved an

nothing could be accomplished by a
night session. He said he had just
come from the senate and was con-
Vinced from what he heard that the
conference report would not be adopted
tonight.
Mr.. Dingley, on the other hand, said
it was the opinion of several senators
that they might get vote by or

it was highly important that the house
should be in session, so that it could

Mr.. McAIillin insisted that night
session would be futile, and he moved
a recess until today.
The speaker declared that his motion
was not in order, and on division Mr..
Dingley'S motion prevailed.
AS the senate had already recessed un-
til today when the house reconvened at
O'Clock, Mr.. Dingley Immediately
moved that the house take a recess un-
til noon today. Mr. Simpson (POp.,
Kan) called attention to the rule which
limits Friday evening to pension legis-
lation and suggested that the house
should proceed within the regular or
der.
Mr.. Dingley stated that there were no
pension bills before the house. The
vote was then taken on Mr.. Dingley's
motion, and when the speaker an
nounced the result, ayes 9S, nays IL,
Mr.. Simpson made the point of no quo
rum. About ten minutes was spent
awaiting the arrival of a quorum and
then the speaker declared the motion
