luton instructing the chief clerk to
have printed 5000 copies Of the report
of the Andrews senatorial investgat-
ing committee A concurrent resolu-
ton to the same effect passed both
branches of the legislature, but it was
vetoed by the governor. Mr.. Grady
stated that the governor vetoed a
similar resolution because he said it
would cost 500 to have the report
printed, but that it would cost less
than 500. The resolution passed. 1t
does not have to be sent to the gov
ernOr.

THE DoRR-sCoTT AFFAIR.
Statement of Insurance Commits
siOner Van CIeave.

St Paul. Nov. Ito the Editor: On or
about Oct. last a communication from Mr.
Thomas B. Scott was published In some of
the st. Paul papers, in which, among other
things he stated as follows:
Even as late as last July this year, the
insurance department of Illinois came here
and made an examination, resulting in the
full approval and appreciation of our method
and the standing of the company. This de-
partment had in their possession the data
OF all the charges made by Mr.. Dorr, and
could find no cause for action on same, as
the gentleman from Illinois said Mr. Scott
do not be alarmed by anything that Mr..
Dorr can do, because we know the gentleman
and his methods thoroughly.
AS was quite certain that the examiner for
the Illinois department had made no such
statement as Mr.. Scott had attributed to him,
