THE STATES INSURANCE.
Gov. Gambler Favors Mrs. w. Y. At
kinson i'm the Matter.

Atlanta, Dec. S0.-Every insurance
agent of every company in Atlanta is
fighting to get a large share of the
States insurance which will be given
out on January 6 for a period of five
years. The total amount of insurance
carried on the public buildings in va
rious parts of the state is about $780,
900, of which more than $500,000 is on
the building of the state sanitarium at
Milledgeville. The annual premiums
are about $1,000 and by taking policies
for five years the state gets the in
surance for three years premiums. or
about $4,000.
Gov. Gambler has been harassed
daily by the insurance agents in spite
Of the fact that the matter of giving
out the Insurance rests wholly with
the Adjutant General 1t is learned,
however, that the Governor did very
graceful act in this connection. He
has referred all insurance agents to
Adjutant General Robertson, but has
made request of him that 500, 900 of
the insurance be given to Mrs. w. Y
Atkinson, widow of former Gov. At
kinson, and this will be done. The
premiums paid to the companies repre-
scented by Mrs. Atkinson will be about
$1,000 and from this she will receive

FLUCTUATIONS IN COFFEE.
Frequent Changes in Price Cause
Revolutions in Central America,
said MIR. Arriaga.


Mexico City. Dec. 30-At this morn
ing's sessio nof the Pan American con-
ference, Gen. Rafael Reyes of Colom-
bia read a description of his explor-
atoms in the Amazon region of South
America. 1t was stated that this re-
port had been presented at the sug-
gestion of President Roosevelt, who
took special interest in the expeditions
of Reyes and his two brothers. one of
whom died from fever and the other
was devoured by cannibals.
Lazo Arriaga of Guatemala presented
a resolution asking the conference to
interest itself in the price of coffee,
with a view to it's regulation. He said
that periodical upheavals of the coffee
market were a cause of economical
and political disturbances and even
revolutions in the Central American Ie-
publics and he thought the conference
could find a remedy.
The proposal of the late Duarte Pc
reira, delegate of Brazil, for the ap-
pointment of a committee of jurists
to codify the public and private inter-
national law of the Americas, was
then taken up. The amendment of Mr..
Leger of Hayti, to the effect that Eu-
ropean governments be invited to share
in this work, was voted down unani-
mously. In his remarks in support of
his motion he said he could not I'M
derstand the object of the persistent
exclusion of Europe, whose experience
and assistance ought not to be over
looked. But in the voting Mr.. Leger
proved to be the only delegate favoring
the Interference of Europe in this
matter.
Mr.. Leger was combatted in strong
speech by Mr.. Labarra of Mexico. He
said that the conference and it's work
must remain n-American.
