Now, that the Governor has affixed his
signature 10 the Wharton insurance bill
and thereby made II law, the fre-iu-
surance people, whose business is affected
by II, are preparing to tight the measure
in the courts. and TO this end the repre-
sentatives and officers OF the companies
doing business in this State will confer
I'm few days.
II Is generally understood among them
that the fight against the bill will DO
made along constitutional lines. Major
Charles S. Stringfellow and Mr.. Frank
Christian, two Of the best lawyers in
Richmond, have carefully examined the
bill and have unhesitatingly expressed II
as their opinion that its provisions are
unconstitutional. Attorney General Mon
tague's attention was called to the
measure by the insurance companies
some days since, but he expressed no
opinion concerning Ii. mono having been
asked for from him by the Governor.
TO THE SUPREME COURT.
It is the present plan of the insurance
people to take the matter directly before
the Supreme Court and have the new law
passed upon. The bill, II will be reinem-
bered, was drawn by Professor Miles. OF
St. Adams Academy and originally pre-
sented by General Wharton. A strong
lobby was made against 1t by the nsl-
rance men, but 1t passed the House by
large majority. II encountered more
opposition in the Senate than Il had In
the lower house. but debate on il was cut
off i'm the Senate by a call for the pre-
vious question. something that had not
been done before in years. and II passed

his veto TO the bill. The Governor de-
clined however, to withhold his sigma

MAKE TARIFFS IN WASHINGTON.
The insurance agents OF this city, and
IN fact Of the State, have been working
under the laws. regulations, and rates
of the Southeastern Tariff Association,
and by the operations of the Wharton
law they can no longer do so. A pront
nent attorney, who represents as counsel
a quintette of fire companies, said
to a Dispatch man, when discussing the
new law, that it would not have tho
effect OF breaking up the southeastern

could with all ease, move it's headouar-
ters to Washington, and from that point
promugate its rates.

preached on the matter said he feared
that a rate war would be the result OF

given to realize how the men of the
ranks are disposed towards him. The
heartiness of the cheering must have
been very gratifying to him, as 1t was

making hit with u.s.
General Goblin also drew to the side
of the road upon reaching his head

marched into the camp. 1t is needless

He expressed himself later as being
highly gratified with the conduct of
the men on the march and the general
success of the trip. T. j. Duffy.
