The collier Merrimac that was sunk
in Santiago harbor by company of
eight picked men under command of
Lieutenant Hobson for the purpose of
obstructing the channel, has a history
some points of which are interesting.
Originally she was the Norwegian
tramp steamer, Solveig, and was abau-
doned as wreck during the summer
of 1897, in the West Indies. She was,
however, rescued and towed to New
YORK and there sold for SIS, 600. Ex-
tensive repairs were then put upon her,
and she has since sailed on the Lone
Star line between New York and Gal
weston. Upon the breaking out OF the
war she was examined by the board on
auxiliary cruisers, and was by them
refused as not suitable for use and not
worth the price asked for her. Later
she was taken to Baltimore and was
sold to the government, upon the rec
ommendation it is said, Of leading
politician, for $4,000.

In the annual report of State Insur-
ance Commissioner Milo ID. Campbell,
among other recommends, he reviews
his efforts to secure reduction in the
rates OF fire insurance, and says that
"the time is believed to be not far dis
tant when the law OF hazard will be
similar to the law OF mortality In life
insurance, when in place of the extor-
tionate rates placed upon property
through combinations, and the made
quate rates offered by irresponsible,
freely concerns, there will be establish
ed either by law or necessity, tables
and rules governing the cost of insur-
ance. Until such time arrives it be-
comes the duty OF the insurance
department to protect the people as
far as may be against exorbitant rates
through combination, and upon the
other hand to weed out all such com
panies as are found to be worthless
and insolvent." Every policy holder
will endorse such sentiments.

AtchisOn's City Council After
the Saloon Element
That Continues to Run "Wide
Open" on Sunday.
THEY FEAR STANLEY
The Restriction Of Liquor
Traffic Necessary Now.

periled by BOldness.
THEY FEAR STANLEY

Atchison. Nov. 2s-The Globe says:
At an executive session Of the AtchisOn
city council. held Immediately after the
regular session Saturday night, it was
decided to tighten the screws on the
saloon element, as far as Sunday clos
ing is concerned. The names of three
places which have been selling openly
on Sunday, were given, and the police
department was ordered to arrest the
proprietors repeatedly until they discon-
tinue the practice They are to be ar
rested several times a month, If ueces-
sary.
The restriction of the liquor traffic, in
view Of the election Of Governor Stan
ley, Is considered an absolute necessity
for the preservation Of the police court
revenue, which is about all Atchisou
has for the reimbursement of its gen
eraI revenue fund. Fear was expressed
by the counciIrnen that Governor Stan
ley would abrogate the home rule policy
and enforce the prohibitory law, and
for this reason it was decided to keep
down as many complaints as possible
by preventing the sale Of liquor on Sun
day Tt was also decided to protect the
saloon keepers against the sale of liquor
by drug stores Drug stores pay no
fines, but nearly all of them sell liquor
CnleT OF Ponce sep was ordered 10 Bro

The executive meeting also developed
the fact that every thing was not run
ming smoothly between Police Judge
Sheffield ingalls, and the police depart
ment- It seems that Judge ingalls, in
siSts on running what he considers a,
court or justice. while the police COM
plain that his fines are not severe
enough. The council evidently seemed
to be with the police, for it decided TO
ask Judge ingalls, for his resignation If
he could not work in harmony with
