The late A. L. Beardslee, of Manches-

and to that end he carried total of

amount two policies, aggregating So

been turned over to the proper parties
on Monday of this week by the compa-,
ny's special agent, Mr.. George 1. Brown,
of Dubuque, who came to Manchester
for that purpose. AS strange as it may
seem Mr. Beardslee had taken out $1,000
of this insurance on March 9Th, 1900,
only about one month before his death,
which came so suddenly and unexpect-
eddy on April 7th. AT the time of max

Beardslee passed splendid physical ex-
animation and showed not the slightest
sign of what was so soon to follow.
The Mutual Life of New York, in
which company Mr.. Beardslee carried
more insurance than in any other one
institution, is the oldest life insurance
company in the United States and the
world. 1t began business February 1st.,
1SA3, and since that time it has actually
paid out to policy holders more than
1000. 600, of which vast amount more
than 1898 100000 went to the company's
living members themselves, and besides
that the assets of the company on Janu-

sum of over S3c1 100000, every dollar
of which belong toits policy holders and

THE HOUSE

Washington, April 15.-The week in the house will be largely taken up with the consideration of the naval bill, over which chere promises to be a protracted strug- gle. The whole question on armor plate, except that for the Maine, Wisconsin and Missouri, will be fought out. The minority members of the committee, led by MT. Will Hams of Kentucky, will make strong fight for the establishment of a govern ment armor plate factory as the best solu- tion of the vexed problem. An attempt also will be made by the minority of the committee for the building of ships in the government yard. Before the naval bill is taken up tomorrow Chairman Marsh, of the committee militia, will be recog- nized to move the passage, under suspen- sion of the rules, of the bill to appropriate s, ,eOO, 900 for the militia of the several states.
 Friday will be given up to the committee on war claims under the rules, and Satur- day has been set aside for paying tribute to the memory of the late Representative Evan P. Settle of Kentucky.

THE PROGRAMME
 IN BOTH HOUSES Senate Will Devote Week to the Alaska and Quay Case. MORGAN AND THE CANAL There Will be Considerable Skirmish- ing for the Place on the Calen-
 dar by the Managers of
 the Canal Bill
MORGAN AND THE CANAL

Washington, April 15.-The senate will continue during the week to devote its at- tention to the Alaskan code, the Quay resolution and the bill providing for the temporary government of the Philippine islands There will also be more or less skirmishing for the place on the calendar by the present managers of the Nicaragua canal, chief of which is MT. Morgan of Alabama Possibly also Senators Frye and Hanna will make an effort to bring up the subsidiary shipping bill. and the chances are that no movement will be made in that direction until some of the measures before the senate are disposed of.
 Senator Carter will try Monday to get day fixed for vote on the Alaskan bill. There are only two amendments of importance remaining to be acted on in conenction with the measure and it is thought it can be disposed of at a very early date if the friends of the Alaskan bill committee will agree to assist in talk ing up other legislation when it is out of the way.
 Senator Morgan seems at present in- clined to hold up the code measure until
  but so far has apparently not been suc- cessful. There has not been notable dis position to use the Alaskan bill and the Philippine bill to delay the taking up of the subsidy bill. The democrats in the senate are practically united in oposition to the subsidy proposition. Senator Lodge, in charge of the bill, announces it to be his purpose to ask for vote on it when ever the democrats make an opening of such suggestions. Apparently, however, he is not very sanguine for success.
 Senator Hoar has given notice of a speech on the Philippine question on Tues day next, and he is expected then to fully outline his views the question of ex- pansion.
 Late in the week reports probably will be made on some of the appropriation bills now in committee. It is also probable that a report will be made in the Clark case during the week. The report has been drafted in the rough by Senators Chandler and Hurley, and will be laid before the committee on elections as soon as com pleted. Senator Chandler announces it to be his purpose to ask to have the question up in the senate as soon as the report is filed.
