Vancouver, B. c.. March 1s.-Justice Ir-
wing rendered an important decision to-
day, setting aside the verdict of a jury
which condemned the Canadian Pacific
railway to pay Conductor Woods 5000
damages for the loss of foot. The court
held that a railway company could not
be held liable when it was ignorant of any
danger in its trackway.

welcome stated to one of his retainers
that republicans We're worth half as
much as democrats and no more. Thus
was the local fighting force organized
and thus did the battle open. 1t was
to be a fight of reason and decency
against millions of money. The issue
was clearly defined. There were some
who thought that money could not win
unless backed by some logical argu-
ment, but they had never seen money
used in such volume as it was in the
opening week of January.

1t was late that evening when the
Clark leaders awakened to the fact that
something serious was pending. White
side was sent for and there was a scene
enacted in the office of the Helena In
dependent that will probably never be
fully known to any except those who
were participants, There We're six men
present beside Whiteside. Opposed to
all these, even when threatened with
assassination, the senator from Flat
head stood firm and defied his antagr IL
lists. He escaped without injury and the
next morning the report of the investi-
cation committee, with its accompani-
ment of $4,000 Doodle money, was
made, The text of that report and the
intensely dramatic scenes connected
with its delivery, are well known to all
Montana and to most of the nation out
side this state. Those 81 votes went
scurrying to the woods, all except seven
of them. This was the sum total of the
support of the Doodle candidate on the
first ballot. There We're those even in

him. He was offered 100000 in cash If

Lead I'm the Downward Movement.
FOREIGN Houses Sellers I'm Opening
Dealings-Manhattan shares Firm.

NEW YORK. Dec. 13.-The stock market
opened at substantial declines from last
nights closing figure. Its initial tone
was chiefly owing to the pronounced weak
ness in the London market, which in turn
was said to be owing to both the monetary
stringency there and the rumors of another
British defeat in South Africa Foreign
houses were sellers of stocks in this mar
ket upon the opening Of business, and In
consequence the international listed shares
showed pronounced recessions in the ini-
tial transactions
The absence OF any confirmation Of yes
terday's reports regarding the loan of e.
00O, 900 by the Bank of France to the Bank
Of England, also exercised an unfavorable
effect. as it was feared that barring relief
from some unexpected quarter the Bank Of
England would be forced to make fur
ther advance in its rate Of discount. Little
or nothing bearing upon the local situa-
tion or upon particular stocks came to light
over night.
The most severe declines at the opening
were scored in Tennessee Coal and Iron,
Continental Tobacco, and Sugar Renfining.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Manhattan
were comparatively firm. Declines appear
ed in the granger stocks, Pacific stocks,
and the other standard issues.

Representatives of the Cities Seek

So far there appears to be decided lack
Of the excitement that usually attends the
gathering of delegates in this city to con-
test for the place Of meetifx II the Re-
publican National conventid8 There are
but four cities aspiring to this honor, New
York, Philadelphia. Chicago and st. Louis.
The first two have representatives on the
ground and have established headquarters
at the Arlington Hotel. but the main body
of supporters OF these cities have not yet
arrived. Those here are planning a cam
paign to be submitted TO the REINFORCE
ments tomorrow.
At New York headquarters today every
thing wore a quiet aspect OF peace. Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff, of New York,
was one of the prominent early arrivals. He
came to attend the meeting Of the forestry
commission, the reception given by Sena-
tor Depew to the New York delegation in
Congress. and to speak for New York be-
fore the National Committee.
Governor Woodruff is apparently can
didate Of the Republican organ OF New
York for Vice President, but he declines
to discuss this matter. He is supported, 1t
is said, by Senator Platt and Depew and
by great many prominent Republicans Of
New York against Secretary Root.
At Philadelphia headquarters matters
appeared serene and quiet, but some of the
supporters of the Quaker City were out
among members of Congress and commit
teemen doing missionary work. st. Louis
will have small delegation consisting Of
ex-COngressman Nathan Frank as chair
man, and eight members. They are ex-
pected tomorrow.
The Chicago delegates have not yet ar
rived, and are not expected until late this
afternoon. They will make their headquar-
tiers at the Shoreham.

Money saved the Government Dur

The Supervising Special Agent OF the
Treasury Department and his subordinates
recovered for the Government s466. .694 on
account of differentiation i'll imports of
foreign merchandise during the last fiscal
year. The number of seizures made by
special agents. according to the annual re-
port made public today, was 2i1- The num-
ber Of arrests for violations of the Chi
nese exclusion laws was 566. and for vio-
lation of the customs laws 90.
Unusual efforts were made during the
year to prevent undervaluations in in
voices or merchandise. Most of the seiz-
ures for attempted smuggling were made
on the northern frontier. the seized goods
being tea wool. cattle, horses, drugs, to-
bacco. and diamonds. In one case. dia-
monds worth s15.022 were seized. Similar
operations on the Mexican frontier were
detected. The seizures of smuggled goods
at the port Of New York amount TO $751;
000. Improved efficiency was shown in the
enforcement of the Chinese exclusion laws.
At the Seal Islands Of Alaska, only l6.S1S
sealskins were taken, although conditions
were favorable for catch. and although
the quota fixed by law was 10000.

A NEW INSURANCE COMPANY.
Washington Business Men Incorpo.

Washington Business Men IncorpO-
rate Under West Virginia Laws.
The Colonial Fire Insurance Company, q
new concern organized by a number of
prominent Washington business men, has
been Incorporated under the laws of West
Virginia with capital of 100000, fully
paid up. to do business in Virginia, West
Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
1t is stated that the company will begin
operations in Virginia. and West Virginia
on January /, and that on February l 1t
will be in a position to write insurance in
the District.
The officers proposed by the organizers
OF the concern, and those that will prob
ably be chosen when the organization is
complete. are as follows: President S. W.
Woodward: first vice president, NJ. NJ.
Parker; second vice president, E. S. Par
ker: attorney, Jackson H. Ralston; Eecre-
tary and treasurer. E. Quincy Smith. The
directors are as follows: J. F. Barbour.
C. C. Duncanson, r. G. Bickford, NJ. M.
Parker. w. J. Lambert, f. S. Parker. A.
l.. Powell. J. H. Ralston, F. H. Smith, S.
w. Woodward. Nathaniel Wilson, J. X.
McCannon. and George Truesdell.
The company is chartered in West Vir-
ginia, ii is stated, by those interested, be-
cause of the small annual tax rate in that
State. The tax on the capital of 100000 is
only $50 a year, whereas it would have been
$500 in the District. The charter of the
company allows it to increase its capitaH-
zation to 100000 at any time.
gentleman who has been prominent in
the organization OF the new concern and
who will be one of its officers said yester-
day:
I'VE believe that there is plenty Of room
for us in the District. despite the comment
recently so often made that there are too
many insurance companies here now. We
will have as a nucleus of business much
that Will come 10 us Immediately through
different organizations with which those In
terested are connected The International
Building Association, and the Union Saw
ings Bank are two OF these concerns"
Notwithstanding this confident expression
Of opinion there was much talk in business
circles yesterday, OF the already over
crowded condition of the insurance field
here. There are now thirteen companies
in the District in addition to the large
number OF outside concerns tina, have ageD-
cies. 1t was this fact that induced the Pn-
tomac and the Lincoln companies to COM
bine q few months ago to save expenses. II
is said that there are now plans on foot for
other consultations.

Funds for nm Isolation Ward.

On behalf of the trustees of Garfield Me-
nla<fal Hospital. Secretary J. ormond Will
son has written to the Commissioners ask
ing that the funds allowed by Congress for
an isolation ward at the hospital be dis
bursed by the hospital authorities. Mr.
Wilson points out that the Comptroller of
the Treasury has rendered decision which
vests in the Commissioners the right to ex-
pend such funds they deem wise. The
treasurer o. the institution. says Mr. Will
son, is bonded both to the Government and
the hospital authorities. This issue arose
out of request from the treasurer that
$4,000 be cashed to the account Of the iso-
lation ward
