WILL NOT Be CHANGED.

It is Now Said the Republican ooun-
y Committee WIN not Change FROM
the Australian to the Open Ballot
at the April Primaries.
It is learned that the Ohio county
Republican executive committee has
come 10 the conclusion that It VIII not
change from the Australian to the open
style OF ballot for the county primary
election. scheduled for Saturday, April
2S. The committee stands seven to
three on this question, and the friends
OF the open ballot are said to realize
that they cannot exert influence
sufficient to have the action taken at
the meeting OF March 5 revoked.
By the committees action. the pTima-
rles will be conducted as nearly inden-
teal with state elections as possible.
There viii be the secret ballot to start
with; the ballots TO remain in the hands
Of the election officers and TO be deiiv-
cred to the voters only in the election
room. The voter must fill out and cast
his ballot without leaving the room. No
vote Will be recorded or counted eXceDt
It be an official ballot, signed by both
the election clerks. But one ballot will
be given the voter, unless the first Is
mutllated The committee has decided
to place three booths In each voting
place. and the officers of the election
will have full control. There will be
no slxty-foot line: workers can stand
just outside the building. There Will
be two Judges and two clerks.
The committee has partially decided
upon the following precincts in each
district: Washington, 2; Madison, 2;
Clay. /; Union, 2; Centre. /; Webster,
2: Richie, 3: Rlchland. 2; Liberty, 3;
4, a total of 90. There is n
sentiment however. for one additional
voting place each in Washington, Clay
md Centre districts, Certainly one is
not enough for Clay. and there should
be one in Washington for the Fulton
people.

THE coEUR D'ALENE ENQUIRY
Democratic Committeeman Threaten
to Withdraw.

The Committee on Military Affairs of the
House of Representatives, engaged in an
enquiry into the labor troubles in Idaho,
spent the forenoon yesterday in executive
session. This was to discuss the PROPOSE
ton made by the Republican members that
certain matter. alleged by them to be DEM
ocratic campaign material should be eX-
uuneed from the record, and that hereafter
similar matter which the majority might
deem offensive might be excluded from
the record.
The discussion was very animated and
at one time several of the Democrats
threatened to withdraw from the commit
tee and take no further part in the investi-
CATION, if the record OF the hearing was
censored" as Representative Sulzer put
il. 1t was finally agreed, By 4 vote OF 3 to
=. that the record should sand up to date.
but that hereafter in this investigation
nothing should be included except the ques-
,ions and replies and the committee should
decide what should go into Tie record and
what should not, as the examination pro-
ceeds.
The afternoon session of the committee
was devoted to the examination of Special
Prosecuting Attorney Forney, of Shoshone
County. who was on the stand Thursday.
1t was taken up principally by an effort to
draw from Forney an admission that the
Governors action in declaring martial law
was unconstitutional and that he suspended
the writ of habeas corpus.

ton Reported to the House.

Mr. jenkins from the Committee on the

the District OF Columbia. Under an act Of
Congress approved October l, 1890 cor
porations may be created in the District

indemnity business. but with capital OF
not less than 81. 000. O0O
This bill is 10 permit any company now

authorized. by act Of Congress. 10 do an
insurance business in the District Of Co
lumbia TO engage in a security. guaranty,
and indemnity business. having 4 paid-up
capital of not less than S250,00
The report says: The reasons arc
many in favor of the passage Of the bill.
Parties now desiring bonds. or compelled
TO give security, have to ask for personal
favors or take time to go outside OF the
District to obtain the necessary bond. 1t
will be a great convenience to parties do
ing business in the District and no harm
or injustice can be done by comforting the
power.
The passage Of the bill has been urged
by different classes Of people and no OBJ
jections whatever have been presented to

INSURANCE IN THE DISTRICT.
The BilI to Regulate the business
FaVOrabiy Reported.

Mr.. Jenkins. from the Committee on the
District of Columbia of the house of Rep
resentatives, yesterday presented TO the
House favorable report on the bill to
regulate insurance in the District OF
Columbia The bill as amended has re
ceived the written approval of Commits
sioners Wight, Ross, and Beach.
The bill creates a department of insur-
ance, under the direction of the Assessor.
who is ex officio Superintendent Of Insur-
ance, who is allowed one insurance clerk,
who shall be an expert and shall devote all
Of his time and energies to the insurance
business.
The Superintendent of Insurance is to
act as attorney for companies whose prin
cipal Office is located outside of the Dis
trict, for the purpose of having some one
designated. who is accessible, upon whom
legal process can be served.
The report says:
The bill, although not intended rs a
revenue bill does increase the District
revenues somewhat. II provides rules and
regulations for the protection of good re-
liable companies, and shuts out irrespon-
sible or what are known as wildcat COM
panies. whose existence is on paper only.
and thereby is a great source of prOtec-
tion TO all classes. more especially the ig-
norant, who are more susceptible TO being
defrauded
THE adoption in this bill of the New
York standard policy in itself is of mani
fold benefit 10 the insured, as well as to
the reliable insurance companies. by pro-
tecting poor, ignorant people who have
been known TO pay out money for ir sur
ance which they believed to be good but
which would contain conditions that
would invalidate the contract on q mere
faa hfa .,afII
such companies from the community and
enable the reliable companies TO do the
business and thus be a benefit all around
The Office OF the Assessor of the Dis
trict Is flooded with enquiries about GER
tain companies doing business in the com
munity and from the lack of supervision
cannot intelligently answer.
This bill also provides that the Super
iHtendent Of Insurance shall revoke the Ii
cense of any company failing 10 comply
with the terms or requirements of this act.
also provides for a small license fee for So
licitors and brokers. so as 10 have them
registered and under the supervision OF the
Superintendent. thus onsuring the public
from being imposed upon by unscrupu'ous
persons, as every solicitor must show his
license before he can receive his fee OF
commission which license states plainly
across it's face the name OF the solicitor
and the name of the company he repre-
sents.
This bin has been scrutinized by the Of
fcials of some OF the largest States in tn.
Union and approved. 1t meets with the
approval of all parties interested in the
business Of insurance, and is alzo recon-
mended by the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia and the Assessor, who is
ex oflicio superintendent of Insurance"
