course large houses, and the applause is
very frequent and spontaneous. There is
much room for dramatic action, and
hence the trio consisting of Barron Ber
thald. Mary Linck and Ella ProssnitZ has
ample opportunity TO display it's dramatic
temperament of which it possesses a con-
siderable quantity. To appreciate fully
the excellent rendition of the waltz song
in the last act by Mr.. Berthald, it should
not be forgotten that this melody has
been played so often that, like the inter
meZZo from "Cavalleria Rusticana" it
becomes tiresome unless delivered with a
refinement that hatters the educated mus
ical connoisseur. That Mr.. Berthald sue
ceeded in giving an ideal recital of this
dainty bit of composition was manifested
by the vigorous applause accorded him.
Another artist who fulfilled her task
nobly was Miss Ella Prossnitz, whose
resonant dramatic soprano had various
chances to show it's strength and fine
training. The feature of the opera how
ever, was the quartet in the last act. 1t
was sung with excellent taste. contained
all the fervor which the composer infused
in it, and the tout ensemble was without
at times. but another performance will
easily remedy this defect. The orchestra
also needs a little more polish. The
mounting was imbued with that pains
taking regard to detail that characterizes
all of George Lask's work. Once more at
tention is called to the grand quartet in
the last act, in which Ella Prossnitz,
Mary Linck. Barron Berthald and Will

during his lifetime was Carter sued by his
lady love for breach of promise and twice
he compromised. Now that he is dead the
lawsuit has descended TO his heirs and
they have no compunction about fighting
the claim to a finish.
Thomas Carter had not a large circle Of

INSURANCE MEN
FEAR THERE IS
TROUBLE AHEAD
Compact Regulations
Violated.

Well defined rumors of possible trouble
in the insurance compact have been caus-
ing a great deal of uneasiness among the
fire underwriters. 1t is all over the old
question of compensa ton to agents. Some
of the managers claim that the rules Of
the union establishing a uniform rate Of
commissions are being violated and that
as a result their business is suffering.
Agents are placing their policies where
they can make the most out of them, and
the companies who are adhering strictly
to the compact rates are unable to hold
their business.
As has been the usual case when the
union was Oh the verge of disruption the
trouble has started in Oakland. 1t is
claimed that the offending managers have
been using the plate glass and casualty
companies, that they represent as a side
line to their regular fire business, through
which to work extra dollars into their
agents pockets for their fire insurance
policies
The casualty and plate glass companies
are not members Of the compact Agents

under union rules have been paid salary
panies. for whom they do practically no
business. This salary of course is in
compensation for their five insurance
business and is charged against the cas-
ualty companies merely to get around the
compact provisions.
1t is claimed that this method has been

Alameda County for some time. Com
plants have been made to the compact
managers and they have promised to stop
the practice, but the insurance managers
claim that they either have been unable
to do so or do not desire to be too strin-
gent for fear of creating another rate
war across the bay.
The managers who have been losing
business are becoming restless and dis
satisfied with the condition and are
threatening to withdraw from the COM
pact if existing evils are not remedied.
The underwriters are not discussing the
matter for publication to any great eX
tent. All are willing to admit that trouble
is likely, but assert that they will exert

tice of his intention. Statements were
made that Rolla V. Watt, Pacific Coast
manager of the Queen Insurance Com
pany, was one of the dissatisfied ones and
had concluded TO present his resignation
to the compact. When seen yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Watt would not confirm the
rumor. He said:
There is always trouble in the insur-
ance business, the same as there is in any
other line. ! know things are being done
that are not according to rule and to the
injury of those who are living up to the
compact agreement. When things reach
the point when they can no longer be
tolerated the only thing to do will be to
step out, but as yet / have not concluded
to hand in nv resignation. and any ru-
NOR to that effect is without foundation"
At any rate insurance circles are un-
easy and an outbreak is looked for at al
most any day.

Casey. the Australian crook, who is
suspected of being one of the men who
robbed the specie room of the steamer
Alameda has made confession to Chief
Lees. Just whom he duplicates the head
of the Police Department refuses to di-
vulge
Casey's confession was not unexpected
by the detectives who have been engaged
in unearthing evidence against him. Yes
terday he was taken before Judge Muras-
ky on a writ of habeaS corpus sworn out
by his friend. Teddy" Alexander. Casey
was represented by Attorney George Col
lins, who was prepared to make hard
fight in behalf of his client. When the
hearing was called Collins announced that
he was ready to proceed, and addressing
the court started to argue the case. He
had scarcely uttered a dozen words when
Chief Lees whispered something to Casey,
who Immediately interrupted his attorney
in his flight of eloquence.
Il don't want to go on with the hear
ing" he quietly remarked to Collins.
Have the case continued until Thurs
day"
Although surprised at the strange re-
quest of his client, Collins made the mo-
ton for a continuance, which was readily
granted. Casey was then led from the
courtroom by Detective Sullivan and
taken for a walk. He was returned to
the prison two hours later and placed in
the tanks.
Last evening Casey sent word to Chief
Lees that he was anxious to tell all he
knew. Detective Ellis was sent to the
prison to get him, and he was promptly
escorted to the office of the head of the
department. They were clOseted together
for over two hours, after which Casey
was returned to his cell in the City
Prison
When asked about Casey's confession
Chief Lees vigorously denied that he had

he remarked. I'VE are getting along very
well with the matter and are confident
of eventually landing Howard, the arch
conspirator, as well ass the men who

That is all / have to say"
From another source, however it is
known that Casey could not longer stand
the Sweating process and he decided tc
make a clean breast of his connection with
the robbery. He first sent for Detective
Gibson. to whom he confided his intention
and asked him to inform Chief Lees.
The fact that the latter whispered tC

resulted in the matter being continued. is
presumed to mean that Lees held out
some inducement to the prisoner, who
readily instructed his attorney to postpone
the hearing. Jack Kelly, who is alsC
suspected of being one of the Alameda

of his whereabouts. His arrest is eX-
pected at any moment.
Yesterday the detectives arrested a mar
named Harris who was with Casey when
he returned from his trip to New Orleans
on the train and did not know of any OF
his crooked transactions. As he clearly
established his innocence he was shortly
afterward released.

special syndcates, etc, and in fact the
aim of the company shall be to take ad-
vantage of each and every opportunity
that may appear to afford a profitable
outcome.
From reliable sources it is learned that
while the proposition of the Consul-Gen-
eral is unofficial, it has the sanction of the
high powers of China. With this backing
such a company could secure and absorb
every franchise and concession within the
gift of the Chinese Government and the
granting of these concessions to such an
organization as contemplated would be
sufficient excuse for the Chinese Govern
ment refusing requests or demands for the
same from the graSping powers or Eu-
rope With these interests vested in
America the United States would be
obliged to protect the rights of its citizens
and China knows this.
The general plan of organization is to
apportion shares in the company to mer-
chants, capitalists and corporations at
various points. This would naturally pre-
vent Capitalization of the company in any
section of the United States, but would
make the whole nation a party to any in
fringement upon the interests and rights
held by its citizens in the Orient. 1t is
stated that the project is being advanced
among other capitalists than those of
San Francisco. That it is favorably con-
sdered here is manifest by the meetings
of some of the prominent business men Of
this community, who at present claim to

but ii is certain that if the project had
no extraordinary Inducements the capital

left by the last board as an heritage to
the present and will lay before the mer-
chant and teacher creditors of the depart
ment a concise balance sheet for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1899
The deficit that faced the board on that
date amounted to $215,1 1872 SO. Of this
amount $20s 775 10 was handed down by
the last board. The balance, amounting
to s64O7 90 represents the unpaid labor
and supply claims of June of this year.
The deficit is made up of unpaid teach
ers' salaries for November and December
of 1898, amounting to $179 346 90; janitors'
salaries unpaid, $10054 20; rents unpaid,
$l677; unpaid demands June 60 1899, 1899
S64O7 %; due merchants June 80. 1899,

for June, 1899, are barred from payment
by a constitutional inhibition which pro-
viles that the liabilities of one hscal year
may not be paid out of the revenues OF
the ensuing fiscal term.
