INSURANCE QUESTIONS.
Accident Companies Concerned Over
the Hazards of War.

The accident companies which have I'M
dertaken 10 insure against certain risks
OF war are watching the progress on
events I'm Cuba with unusual interest
now that the lighting has begun, and the
perils OF life are 10 be tested by nun
dreds who carry accident insurance. Al
though the companies have paid but rev
claims thus far for injuries received
while I'm camp or on the march, the
situation IS becoming daily more interest
ing. and the data collected from now on
promise TO have an important bearing
upon future provisions for hazardous
business. The venture Is stu regarueu
as an experiment. however, and the va
riety OF policies now on the market lhuI-
cate how differently the risks are view
ed by different companies, some impoS-
ing conditions which others ignore. MOST
Of the policies are liberal and provide
ample benefits for partial or total ols-
ability.
some of the companies charge enor-
NOUS premiums for assuming the extra
hazards, For unrestricted service, mill
tar,- or naval. permium or so per
loco OF insurance payable only IN case
OF DEATH is charged. The same rate u
asked for 'non-fatal personal injury pol
icies." providing benefits OF $500 for loss
of arm az or above the elbow JOINT, S'9V
for loss of leg at or above the knee JOINT
$50 for loss OF hand or foot AT or ABOVE
wrist or ankle joints, and N.NO for loss
on~bOth hands or 10th feet or both eyes
or one arm ana one leg.
For military service within the United
States alone about half the above rates
is charged. The limit OF insurance Tor

An insurance man said: The rates
charged for accident insurance never did
contemplate the war risk. There Is no
concession which a company makes that
does not cost IL something in the end and
the whole matter OF war-risk insurance
by accident companies as IL stands to-
day is nothing more than guesswork pure
and simple No one can tell how we
shall come out or whether the present
rates high as they are. will DE sufficient
to meet the unusual demands. The sink

vii not accept gra,ui,y at tho hands
OF Congress They say. therefore. that
Il the Senate will by resolution affirm
that this claim was collected by false
representation OF tho agents OF the
Church the money Will be refunded.
As a purely business affair this trans
action would no doubt pass muster. even
in . court of justice. for although Stahl-
man admits that he purposely misled
members OF tho Senate as 70 the agree
mcnt between himself and the Book Com
miftce by which he was to receive %
per cent. OF the money collected. he
maintains with q certain plausibility that
as this agreement had no bearing what
ever upon the merits OF the claim, but
was q private arrangement between HIM
self and clients with which the Senate
had nothing whatever to- do, and he has
good reason to believe that this informa-
ton would be used by certain Senators
as q pretext for Withholding their sup
port from the bill. he was therefore JUS
tifiable I'm misleading those Senators who
interrogated him on this point.
That IS a matter which Mr.. stahlman
must settle with his own conscience. but
It Is perfectly clear that his arrange
mont with the Book Concern did not az
feet the merits Of the claim, except it be
that the Senate proposed, without refer
once TO the merit question, TO make
donation Of public money 10 the Motho-
dist Church. We say that the business
world would probably take Stahlman's
view Of the case and Justify the claim
ant I'm holding on 20 the money whether
or not. but the Bishops of tho Methodist
Church take higher view. Money, from
their standpoint, is not the highest con-
and they are determined, no |
matter how just their claim, to throw |
this money into the gutter rather than
that the good name OK great denomi- |
nation shall be tainted. They propose in
other words. to avoid the very appear
lnce OF evil.

would grow very FESTIVE under delay.
Senator Money expects TO maxi a
speech tomorrow on the lines OF those
of Senator Proctor, Gailinger and
Thurston based upon his observation
in Cuba.
What further discussion there may be
during the week on the Cuban situa-
ton viii depend so largely upon future
developments that IL is useless to dis
cuss the probabilities. IL the president
should make a recommendation, or the
committee on foreign relations a report,
the senate at once would be the center
of an animated discussion. the result
of which would be some radical declara-
ton against Spain. The problem now
is to hold the expression Of opinion
down to the minimum pending the ne
gotiations Of the president and the de-
liberatiCns of the committee.
There is very little heart in the SEN
ate for any other business than that re-
lating to Cuba and the probabilities are
that comparatively little VIII be done
and that the sessions will be compare
tivey quiet. Aside from Senator Mon
ey's speech. there is a special order
providing for the taking up of the reg
ular pension bills on the calendar Mon
day, beginning at 1 o'clock. Tuet'tay
