State Meeting of Fraternal Insur.
ance Societies Adjourns-Ofhcer
Des Moines, Feb. 1.-The annual meets
ing of the Iowa Fraternal Congress was.
held in the city yesterday afternoon.
Auditor Merriam was present by invita-
ton. and this morning he returned the
courtesy by inviting the Representatives
of the different orders to hold their
meeting in his office at the state house.
The offer was accepted, and the morn
ing session was held in the private Office
of Mr.. Merriam.
Matters of general interest were dis
cussed, but the antagonism In Illinois
andda few other states occupied most of
the time.
Iowa fraternal insurance companies
are not allowed to operate in Illinois
because of a technical construction of
the law. The Iowa men claim that the
technical construction is at the instance
of the Illinois associations and they see
their way to get even by a reciprocal
movement in Iowa.
Auditor Merriam announced yesterday.
that he had notified all of the companies
outside of the state that they must
hereafter comply literally with the law
| in every particular il they intended do
-
ling business in the state.
| The chief technicality upon which the
fraternal men of the state will fight the
| Woodmen is in the beneficiaries allowed
4; by the constitution and bylaws of the
icrder. The Woodmen allow husband or
wife, family, heirs, blood relation. affi-
anced wife and all persons dependent
1 Upon the member of support, to be
Framed as beneflciaries, while the Iowa
companies and the Iowa insurance laws
allow only husband or wife, relatives,
/ legal representatives, heirs or legatee to
1 be named.
Other companies than the Woodmen
are included in the fight but the Wood
rnen is the leading organization. In the
same way other states than Illinois are
also offenders, but the Iowa companies
Ihave the greatest grievance in this dl-
Erection. The result of the gauntlet thus
thrown down Will be watched with in.

suggestions were made as to the best
m cans of getting the body down from
the top of the pole. Several persons
volunteered to go up the pole and
lower the body, but this was objected

victim was beyond human aid and
there was great danger of the body

TO TURN OVER PEKIN.
Will Be Surrendered to Chinese
August IA.

Washington July Commissioners
Rockhin has provided the state depart
ment by cable with the following state
ment of the present status of the nego-
tiations at Pezin:
Diplomatic corps at Pekin is engag-
ed in considering the Russian propos-
ais for the eventual increase of the tar
iff tmaritime customs) A solution OF
the problem is hoped for. The indemni-
ty fixed at 45O,0O0,000 taels and per
cent interest has been formally accept
ed and Japan has waived preferential
treatment. The formal surrender Of
Pekin to the Chinese authorities is ex-
pected to take place on the 18th of
August
The date mentioned is the anniver-
sary of the relief Of the 1egationers by
the international forces. The Russian
proposal referred to is understood, in
substance to be an increase from
per cent to 10 per cent of the customs
dues which the Chinese government
may collect from the imports from for
eign countries. It is further understood
that this increase is not to take effect
at once and perhaps not at all. It will
depend upon the resources of China I'M
der the existing system This PROPOSE
ton is believed to be much less objec-
tiOnable to Great Britain and Japan
as well as to the United States than
the original proposition to make an alb
solute and imm ediate increase of the
custom duties to the extent proposed.
