4 CONTEST DEVELOPS.
Opposition to Present management of
Mutual Fire Insurance Company.

There was a contest developed when the
annual election began this morning OF the
managers of the Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, at the Office of the company, qr2
Pennsylvania avenue. In the event that
the opposition to what is known as the
regular ticket succeeds in casting d ma
jority of the votes it is expected that a
change in the management of the company
will be made, and that Mr.. Jesse B. Wilson.
the president of the company, viii not be
reelected.
The polls were opened this morning, ac-
cording to tie rules of the company, at 3
o'clock, and the voting will close at q
o'clock. After a few votes had been cast
it was discovered that proxies We're being
voted for ticket which was rot the same
as the regular ticket. What was known
as the regular ticket contained the names
of all the present board of managers. and
the other ticket was the same with the
exception that in lieu of L. A. Lambert the
name of Timothy w. Murphy was Inserted.
1t is claimed by the present management
that this ticket was a complete surprise
to them, they had no knowledge there
would be any opposition to the reelection
of the old board. The point was raised by
Mr.. Lambert that as there had been no
announcement of a proposed change in
the personnel of the board the proxies
could not legally be voted for any other
ticket except the one tndt contained inc
names of the present board of managers.
The supervisors of election suspended the
taking of votes in order to consider the
point made by Mr.. Lambert, and after some
time spent in deliberation, the doors were
orce more opened and it was announced on
behalf of the supervisors that they had
determined to accept the votes, leaving to
the future a determination of any Legal
questions. The voting then proceeded and
the stockholders enjoyed a luncheon, which
was spread in an adjoining room.
AS the polls will not close until o o'clock.
it is impossible to know definitely what will
be the result of the voting, but IL is said by
some that a majority of the votes is being
voted against what is called the regular
ticket, which is follows: For managers,
Jesse b. Wilson Matthew G. Emery, Jas.
w. Barker, George T. Dearing, Albanus L.
Johnson T. A. Lambert, w. A. II. Church.
1t is stated that in the event that Mr..
Murphy is elected in place of Mr.. Lam
bert those opposed 10 the present admin
istration the board of managers Will
be as follows: A. L. Johnson. Geo. T. Dear
ing Jas. w. Barker and T. w. Murphy
while the minority will be Jesse b. Wilson.
NJ G. Emery and w. A H. Church.
As Indicated above, 1t is said to be the
intention of the opposition in case they get
in control of the management of the COM
pany to select some one else in place Of
Mr.. Wilson. 1t is not known who they
have selected for that place. The son OF
President Wilson, Mr.. S. c. Wilson, who
is the secretary of the company. II is said
will be retained in his present position.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatcn to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 11.-Higher prices
In the London market. varying from Ia
tc l-2 per cent and the absence of disturb
ances in Havana over Sunday combined in
inspiring brisk demand for stocks this
morning.
The Traction stocks, under the leader
ship of Metropolitan, were the most con-
spicuous features of the movement An
advance of per cent in the stock named
was accomplished by persistent buying for
the political clique heretofore active in
this specially.
The demand bore all of the familiar
earmarks incident to experienced manipu-
lation, but the disposition to contest the
advance has entirely disappeared. Man
haitian advanced substantially under SINH
lar methods. and rev level is confidently
predicted for 1t in the very near future.
American Sugar attracted unusual at
tention by reason of it's extreme weakness
in the face Of an otherwise strong market.
The stock sold was largely for the short
account and based on the prospects of the
Hawaiian treaty debate taking an adverse
turn. Opinion is divided as TO the logical
course of these shares however, and an
attempt to force a covering of today's sale
may recur at any time.
The traction issues and this industrial
speciality monopolized the bulk of the trad
ing, but the buying throughout the general
list was superior to the selling. New York
Central resumed its advance under good
buying by conservative houses and was
well sustained at the improved prices
The granger issues improved moderately
under demand coming from the short in
terest and legitimate purchasers
The failure to get more than the Gus
tomary disappointing advices to the
Withholding of the Nebraska decision was
passed over without effect.
The Importance of this decision is gen.
orally recognized by railroad interests
throughout the country, but there is as
yet no hint as to what the result will be
now when IL may be reasonably expected.
Surface conditions are all entirely IA
vorable to prices and nothing in routine
developments presents the slightest men,
ace to Improvement.
The public demand for the higher priced
Issues is better than for any other class of
securities, and this fact Is taken as a sign
of encouragement by those who remember
the sources Of last summers rise. There
will be market Of specialties for n time
but sooner or later all meritorious issues
must join the movement
Then the enthusiasm may extend to the
low-priced shares and the results predicted
for the coming spring will come to pass.

A HALL OF RECORDS,
What Secretary GnHe Says is Neces.
sary for Such IA Building.


A letter from Secretary Gage was today
laid before the Senate in response to a
Senate resolution regarding site and
plans for a hall of records. The Secretary
says there Is no public ground available
for such purpose, except the parks and
reservations. In regard to the site bound
ed oy Ohio and Louisiana avenues and 10th
and 18th streets, he says borings and tests
will be necessary to determine the charac-
ter Of the foundation that could be secured
there. On June 2, 1859. he says, the Po-
tomac flooded this site to a depth of about
four and a half feet.
A building to answer present require
ments as a hall of records. he says, should
have a capacity Of 4,0000O0 cubic feet. To
provide for such a structure two plans are
submitted. One is for a building on the
site referred to above, and Is nine stories
high. the building to be 400 by 120 feet,
fire-proof and to cost 81 200 600. Another
design Is for a structure 4O0 by 10 feet. four
stories high and fire-proof, to cost $3.50 600,
the latter with capacity Of 900 600 cubic
feet. the design being capable of extension
to capacity of 4.O00,0O0 cubic feet. The
PORTION Of the building provided for will,
the Secretary says, relieve the present con-
gested condition Of files storage

their welfare cannot be affected by what
are doomed to die. The attempt to relieve
them by private American charity was
based on an entire misconception of the

even If these obstacles did not exist the re-

not be pleasant readirg g in Washington. 1

sirgle crumb of bread from coming to the

the people of the United States that the
truth be stated fearlessly and frankly. The

it cannot be made to succeed. Heaven may
srccor the reconcentrados; the United

Informed by United States Minister Sewall
at Honolulu of the purpose of Mr.. Dole,
president of the republic of Hawaii, to visit
Washington in the interests of the ratifi-
cation Of the treaty of Hawaiian annexa-
ton, and the officials of the department are
considering the matter and manner of his
reception and entertainment. Nothing has
been done yet in the matter beyond the ex-
tension of the usual customs facilities to
his party at San Francisco, including the
passage of their baggage and effects with
out inspection or the imposition Of duties
The plan of entertain ment of President
Dole Will be fully arranged, however be-
fCre his arrival in this city. 1t will un-
doubteCly include an official reception and
dinner in his honor by the President ana
Mrs. Mckinley at the White House. and it
is possible that he may be treated as the
guest Of the nation. He will be recognized
as the ruler of friendly sovereign state
and be received with all the honors due
his position. 1t is also possible that a
troop of cavalry will be detailed to act AS
an escort and guard of honor.
Although there Is no precedent for the
visit of president of republic there are
several cases of foreign rulers visiting the
United States. the most recent being that
of King Kalakaua, former ruler of the
Hawaiian Islands. He was treated with
all the honors due his position and it is

HEIRS CANNOT RECOVER.
Suicide of Man in Sound Mind In
valfdates Policy.


In the United States Supreme Court to-
day Justice Harlan handed down an opin-
ion in the case of A. Howard Ritter, ex-
ecutor of William NJ Runk agt. the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of New
York, involving the question Of whether
the heirs Of man who commits suicide
when in sound mind can recover an in
surance policy. The court held that they
could not.
1t appeared from the facts stated that
mitted suicide within less than a year
after increasing his insurance to the ex-
tent Of s20O.O00 making an aggregate in
surance of 100000 upon his life OF the
S2OO,0OO the New York company carried
$4,000, which it refused to pay, on the
ground that Runk was sane when he took
his life. 1t was shown in the trial court
that he had written a letter the day be-
fore his death stating that it was his pur-
pose to put an end to his life so that his
life insurance money could be collected for
the payment of his debts.
In deciding the case, Justice Harlan said
that when an insurance company entered
INTO contract to insure a mans life nei-
ther party to the contract could be suppos-
ed to have suicide in contemplation and
1t was not intended in entering into such a
contract that the life of the person insured
should be at the opticn of either of the
parties. In fixing the premium The COM
pany would naturally take into consdera-
t:on the circumstances bearing upon the
duration of life, and no company would
undertake to insure against suicide. If any
should make such an attempt IL would, he
said. be against public policy and would not
be allowed.
Concluding. he said explicitly. that no in
sured person committing suicide and found
to be of sound mind could recover upon his
policy. The case came to the Supreme
ri nf q lie fnr
the third circuit, and that courts opinion
was affirmed.

None Disposed to Make n Public Com

The officials Of the administration were
very much impressed with the statements
contained IN Mr.. Peppers letter, but none
of them deemed 1t expedient to comment
publicly upon the situation at this critical
stage of affairs. The gravity of the situa-
ton is fully recognized, and it is said that
ample arrangements have been made for
prompt action for the protection of Amert-
can interests in Cuba in case Of an emer-
gency. The battle ship Maine is at Key
West fully prepared for at moment $
notice and it would not take her more
than five or six hours to make the trip TO
Havana.
1t is understood that her commander,
Capt. Sigsbee, has been put In direct COM
municat ton with Consul General Lee, with
instructions to start Immediately for Ha-
vana in case of call The cruisers Mont
gomery and Detroit are also at Key West,
and in readiness for immediate service. be-
sides which there are four torpedo boats
and other vessels on the Florida coast,
which could be made available for service
in Cuba on short notice. in addition to
which h there are three gunboats in the West
Indies and vicinity in telegraphic commu-
nication with the Navy Department.
In short, the authorities have taken
ample precautions in the matter, and feel
that sufficient arrangements have been
made to safeguard American interests in
Cuba at the first indication Of trouble.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE, Md, January 1.-THE lob
bieS of the hotels are crowded today with
members of the general assembly and
others on their way to Annapolis to begin
the fight for the United States senatorship,
the balloting for which will begin in the
two houses tomorrow at noon. There are
no signs of any clearing of the atmos-
phere and the situation today looks as
much mixed and as uncertain as it did
last week.
1t is conceded by all that Judge McComas
will lead on the first few ballots, and that
he will have at the start about twenty
five votes. Nearly every section of the
state will have favorite sons in the race
at the beginning, but most of them will
drop out on Thursday or Friday, when
the real struggle between the friends OF
Judge McComas and the supporters OF
Major Alexander, Shaw will open up:
Both sides today seem confident of VIC
tory. Mayor William T. Malster said
to The Star correspondent that he had
every occasion to expect that his friends
would win and that Major Shaw would be
elected.
He said that they had no second choice,
and that all talk that the city supporters
of Major Shaw would take up another
city man was totally without foundation
and that 1t was their intention to back
the major until the fight was won, no
matter how long it might take.
The McComas people, however, seem
more confident than usual today. and in
sist that the contest will end before many
days in their favor. The friends of State
Treasurer Thomas j. Schryock are work
ing hard for him, and claim that he will
get the bulk of the city vote for senator
before the end Of the week and that he
will also receive several votes from coun-
ty members.
A large number of the members who are
here today decline to say how they will
vote. After they have comDlimented their
local candidates, and this fact adds to
the uncertainty as to the result, the prob
abilities are that the contest will narrow
down to one of endurance between the
Shaw and McComas forces. which may be
long drawn out. 1t is evident that at
tempt to hold caucus will be made by
either side for several days.
