The Now York Life Settles tho FamOu
HillmOn Insurance Case.

Hillmon Insurance Case.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 22.-The final
chapter of the celebrated Hillmon
case, as far as the New York Life In
surance company is concerned, was
closed yesterday The New York Life
settled the case by paying the claim
against II in full, so Mrs Hillmon's at
torneys say. The attorneys for the in
surance company refuse to say how
much they paid, but it is said to be
$l5, 900. The claim originally amount
ed to $40, 900, but with interest and costs
it aggregated $4,000. The New
York Mutual Life and the Connecticut
Mutual Life are still holding off.
The claim against the first named
amounts to the same as that of the
New York Life, while that against
the Connecticut Mutual is only half as
much. The New York Life having
broken the combination which has
existed among the three companies for
the past Is years in resisting the pay
ment of the Hillmon claim, 1t is pre-
dicted that the other companies will
now fall in line and effect settle
ment.
Within Is minutes after the settle
ment was reached the New York Life,
through its attorneys, made applica-
ton for a license to do business, SUI
perintendent Of Insurance McNall inn
mediately issued license, not only for
the year ending March 1, 1898, but also
for the year ending March l, 1899.

There is really some chance at last

dence in such an eventuality. but 1T
may come just the same. Russia and
England practically have each present

representations by Selling and fortify-
ing Rose Island in the harbor Of

stategic key TO Korea. Either Russia
or England must back down. The

DO NOT INDORSE GAGE.
The Reason Senate Bimetalitsts
Brought Up the Teller Resolution.

The Reason Senate BimetaliiSts
Brought Up the Teller Resolution.
Secretary Gage will soon be out of
the Cabinet, or the Administration will
lose a number of its supporters" is the
way a Western Senator looks at the sit
uation. If the President is going to
stand by Mr.. Gage" this Senator con-
tinued. there will be a big break and
a lively row. For two months we of the
West have been on the ragged edge or
uncertainty.
We believed and still hope that Pres
ident Mckinley means to live up faith
fully to the St Louis platform on the
money question, but if he does he can
not afford TO retain Gage, who step by
step became holder and finally declared
for the single gold standard, creating
the impression at home and abroad
that the Administration was with him.
Western Senators will not and cannot
afford to indorse the currency plan of
the Secretary or of the self-constitut-
ed monetary commission.
1T is my opinion that had it not been
for the unwise policy of the Secretary
the Teller resolution would not have
been brought up this session. The bi
metalliSts in the Senate have been COM
PEELED to let the world know that they
do not indorse Mr.. Gage. and ] have
no hesitancy in saying that the bitter
ness that has been engendered is the
worst blow the Republican party has
received since the st. Louis conVen-
ton"
Other Republican Senators talk the
same way. Many of them will be heard
from between now and Thursday in
speeches. and that is why they are
averse to being quoted for publication.
Senator Wolcott still stOutly main
tains that the President viii take oc-
casion in his own time to repudiate the
utterances of Mr. Gage. Many of his
Republican associates agree with him.
and the Democratic attacks are eX-
pected TO be so fierce that there is
strong feeling in Senatorial circles that
Mr.. Gage will either have to change
front or retire from the Cabinet
Several Republicans predict that the
vote for the Teller resolution will be
larger than that recorded in its favor
on Thursday.
