PRUSSIA AND TIE MUTUAL LIFE.
Congressional Inquiry Into Treatment of tn
Company Excites Much Interest.
Especial to News and Observer

| New York May 12.-The petition of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York. to Congress, by Representative
James S. sherman, of New York. asking
for an inquiry into the treatment re-
ceived by that institution al the hands of
the Prussan Government is exciting
great interest here. The petition shows
that the Mutual Life Insurance Company
is transacting business in Great Britain
France. Austria. Hungary Italy, Belgium,
Holland. Denmark Norway and Sweden,
under the sanction and approval Of those
countries and has done so, in accord
ance with these principles of reason and
lightened nations"
Not so, however, in. Prussia. in 1866
the company entered Prussia. Af.er re-
ing subjected to close and exhaustive
examination. relying upon the Good Saith
of the Prussian Government, the company
purchased lot of ground with suitable
building in Berlin for an office. aud in
vested largely in Prussian securities, be
lieving that it would be permitted to con-
duct it's business undisturbed in accord
ance with the comfy of nations. Tn
mindful Of the principles of equity and
lair dealing. the RUSSIAN government
submitted the company to long series
OF impositons and exactions, eliminating
ca August IA, 1895, in its actual expulsion,
without a hearing, from the kingdom of
Prussia.
The Mutual Life had not changed its
method Of doing business; its good stand
ing had not been impaired since inyestiga-
ton by the Government and when a
license was issued to ii. One preteXt for
expellng the company was that it issued
tontne policies, although every facility
had been given the Government to ascer-
tain that the charge was without foun-
datiCn. Abandoning this contention the
Government began to impose new cOndi-
lions and eXactions, never previously sug
gested and which the Prussian authori-
ties knew could not be obeyed under the
companys charter.
While the company admits the technical
power Of the Prussian Government to ca
pei the Mutual Life from Prussia upon a
false pretext it respectfully submits to
the Congress of the United States, that
such treatment by a supposedly friendly
state is indefensibe in the forum Of inter
national comfy and unworthy of any en-
lightened and civilized state. The COM
pany calls for inquiry and investigation,
and redress for such grievances.
On motion of its petition, it was referred
to the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce.

ST aIKE STILL ON IN ST. LOUIS.
U. S. Distlic; Attorney Says the Mail Cars
Must be Allowed to Run.
nv The Associated Press.


St Louis Nc. May 12.-An earnest eff
fort was made today to settle the street
railway strike by means of arbitrat ton
along the lines suggested by w H.
Woodward and other employers of union
labor. The effort came to nothing. how
ever, as the strikers and street car COM
panies could net be brought together on
any proposition involving the recognition
of the union in the manner desired
Another effort will be made Monday
With the assistance of the police the
Transit Company succeeded in getting
three mere OF it's lines open today, al
though one was put temporarily out of
commission by cut wires and barricades
Nc cars were run after Z p. m. on any
of The lines.
In general the fifth day of the strike was
rather quiet. A few cases of violence
were reported and some shooting was
done, but without serious results. y
number Of arrests on minor charges grow
ing out of the present difficulties were
reported In East st. Lcu.s. where a
strike is supposed to be in progress, near
~ all the lines are being operated as
usual.
That the Federal authorities are watch
ing the StFihe SliudtlOu GlOSely Is ouohh
by the statement CT United States District
Attorney Roster. Mr.. Roster demands
that the mail cars be not interfered with
either by barricading the roadways. cut
ting the wires or in any other way. and
his talk contains threat that the United
States Government may yet take hand
in the strike. The custom CT piling
stones and cid iron on the street car
tracks and cutting the wires, which had
sprung up only within the last few days
evidently furnishes the inspiration for
Mr. Rosters words. and it is likely the
strikers and their sympathizers will heed
the warning
Nc street cars will be run in ST. Louis
Sunday Chief of Police Campbell con-
sidered it necessary that his men should
have some rest, and refused to detail
them to keep the street car lines open
tomorrow Finding that the chief could
not be moved The street railway people
decided TO make no attempt TO keep the
lines open

AN APPEAL FOR HELP.
Lady Curzon Calls Attention to the Terrible
Distribution at Mafeking.
(Rv the Associated Press.


London. May 12-Lady Georgiana Cur
zon has issued an urgent appeal for help
for Mafeking. She says:
Nothing but absolute knowledge of the
sufferings of the people of Mafeking
prompts me to inaugurate another fund;
the heart rending accounts received from
nv sister Lady Sarah Wilson, must be
nv excuse. She writes with authority,
having shared equally with them the anX-
ieties and privations of the long siege.
She describes tie restitution of the inhabi-
tants and the absolute ruin of all the
small trades people, whose homes. in
many cases, have been demolished. The
nuns convent has been rendered roofless
by Boer guns. yet the sisters are unre
hitting in cheerful attendance upon the
wounded and sick. For months the inhab-
itants have not slept in their beds. They
have given lives and property and stood
by the gallant Baden Powell until their
courage and endurance have thrilled the
whole world
The appeal concludes with hoping the
day the relief of Mafeking is announced
the writer will be able to wire congratu-
lations accompanied by substantial sum
of money

AN AWFUL WRECK IN A TUNNEL.
Several Lives Probably Lost Through Tower
mans Falling Asleep.
(By the Associated Press. J

(By the Associated Press.D
Philadelphia, Pa. May 12-Through the
negligence of a towerman, who lay asleep
at his post disastrous and fatal freight
train wreck occurred here last midnight
in a tunnel on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. An engineer and fireman were
killed and five unknown tramps are sup
posed to be dead in the wreck. The prop
erty loss is estimated at $1S5,00O. The
man who was responsible for the acct
dent, Frank Lamteli, surrendered himself
late this afternoon to c.. O. O. Bent, SUI
perintendent in the employ of THE Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company. He is
now under arrest.
The bodies and those of the tramps
are buried beneath the wrecked cars
and cannot be recovered until the fire,
which followed the collision, is eXtin-
guished. About thirty fremen of the
city fire department were either burned
or overcome by smoke while fighting the
flames. None of them. however. were
seriously injured.
Every night a train known as the New
York freight-eXpress leaves here for New
York Last night the train was made up
in two sections. the first section contain
ing 43 cars. When it reached the tun
mel the engine was unable to pull it VI
the grade, and II cars were detached and
left standing about midway in the tun
mel while the Others were drawn through.
1t was the duty of Tower Operator Lam
tell to set a red signal on the semaphore
at the Callowhill street entrance to the
tunnel. Being asleep, as he admits, he
failed to do this, leaving the white light
in view At 1850 o'clock the second sec
ton OF the freight comprising SO cars,
approached at the rate of 30 miles an
hour. Engineer Laub seeing the white
signal gave the locomotive extra speed
in order to carry the train up the grade
The rapidly moving train collided with
the standing cars in the tunnel with
terrific force.
Fire Immediately broke out and three
oil cars, each containing 1000 gallons OF
oil, exploded Soon the wreckage was a
mass CT flames. The fire department was
called out and though the fremen have
been at work all last night and all today
it has been impossible as yet to extin-
guish the flames.
Owing to the heat and smoke and
gaseous air in the tunnel the fremen
could enter the tunnel only short dis
tance without being overcome. Holes were
dug in the street tC make vents and the
roof of the tunnel was blasted but to no
avail
Shortly after the collision Lamtell dis
appeared and could not be found until
he gave himself up late this afternoon.
When questioned he said:
Il did it. Why the white signal re-
manned in place l do not know, but it was
there aud the train went through as
usual. | was asleep or doing. and why
cannot say except that | feel myself
overwCrked; but | am ready to stand the
censure and take what comes to me.
