 We declare that in joining said or ganization we were misled by false re- ports concerning the management and methods of said company, and, having felt that the cost of insurance in the Hartford Life Insurance company had increased to such an extent as seemed unreasonable, we have looked into the matter and believe the Hartford Life Insurance company is dealing with it's policy- holders in fair and honest manner and to our entire satisfaction We find that all claims against said company, excepting those of fraudu- lent character, are promptly and fully paid.
 We are satisfied that the fullest in- formation concerning policies or the financial condition of the company will be given to any inquiring policy-holder. We regret if any policy holder has been influenced by our action to give up his insurance, and we urge all such policy holders to continue with the company. We believe the company to be in sound financial condition. (Signed

ANOTHER WARNING TO BOERS.
British War Office Orders Extreme NIeasures in Pun ish ment ofOutrages.

 London, Aug. 2S.-The war office late to-day telegraphed to Lord Kitchener as Follows:
 We understand that you have not yet received satisfactory assurances respecting the murder of our wounded at Vlakfontein. In view of the occur ences referred to in your telegram of August 20, we are of the opinion that you should notify by proclamation that the members of any commando by which such an outrage is committed who may be captured and, after trial proved to have been present on such occasion, will be guilty, whether they actually committed the deed or not; that the leader of the commando will be sentenced to death and that the oth- CT members will be punished with death or less. according to the degree of complicity.'
 The above dispatch was written after one had been received from Lord I<itch- ener earlier in the day telling of another instance of British wounded being shot down by Boers after surren- dering. The dispatch is dated Pretoria, August 25, and is as follows:
 Sworn evidence has been brought to my notice by General Elliot that on June Lieutenant Mari, of the New South Wales artillery, and Privates Harvey and Blunt, were shot down af- ter surrendering at Graspan, near Reitz. Have forwarded to Steyn and Botha copies of these statements"

JEFFERSON WILL CONTEST.
Mrs. Mair Brings Action in Washington -Independent of New Jersey Suit.


 Washington, Aug. 2S-Mrs. Ella Me- Pherson Muir, daughter of the late United States senator of New Jersey o-day filed a contest of the will of her | mother in the probate court of this city. She alleges undue influence on | the part of the beneficiaries under the will, among whom is Yale college, which practically gets nearly the entire estate, $750,000, on the death of Mrs. Muir and her children.
 The action taken by Mrs. Muir is en- tirely independent of the proceeding begun some time in the New Jersey courts. The suit is instituted here be- cause about $SO,O0O worth of the $750,000 worth of property left by Mrs. McPher son consists of Washington property.
 Mrs. Muir says she believes that the action of the New Jersey surrogate court in admitting her mothers will to probate was ineffective because Mrs. McPherson at the time of her death was not resident of New Jersey. She contends that her father in his will vir queathing his property to his wife vir- tually left instructions that their chill dren should be provided for; the be- quests to the mother being practically in trust for the benefit of the children. Hence the contention that McPherson was without power to make such disposition of the property as would give Mrs. Muir, the only surviving child, a mere life interest in the Me Pherson property.

REPAIRS ON CONSTITUTION.
Intention Is to Lower Her Into the
 Water To-dny.

Bristol, R. T., Aug. 2S.--By energetic work the sailors of the Constitution practically finished the job of polishing the plating on the boat below the water line and to-night the underbody of the craft glistened with it's coat of oil and looked as smooth as the day it first took the water. The metal plating is of darker color than formerly due to the substance used in cleaning. The intention is to lower the craft into the water sometime tomorrow afternoon.
 Not only has the Constitution slip pery underbody for the coming races, but every part of her was inspected to-day by order of Mir. Duncan and put in. first class shape. Special attention was given to the overhauling of the steering gear. The top sides were re- painted this afternoon and she now has a very smart appearance.
 The Constitutions hull was hot bad ly hurt by recent mishaps, according to MT. Duncan to-day, who also said LnuC SCOlleS SGllL buI HUH lUl dUUuI damaged plates being repaired under water by diver were not correct.

TUNING UP THE SHAMROCK
YORK OF THE CHALLENGER IN
 YEsTERDAY'S TRIAL.
Thirty-miIe Spin Is Taken 10 Staten Island and Back-Crews Show Smart- ness and the Yacht Again Displays Good Sailing Abilities.

New York, Aug. 2S.-The fourth tria spin of Shamrock II in these waters to- | day was not attended with any exciting l incidents. The yacht did not go out side Sandy Hook and sail over the cur course, as was expected, but sailed | from Southwest Spit buoy to Staten | Island, twice during the four hours she was out, covering a distance of about | thirty miles.
 Sir Thomas Lipton was not on board | nor was Designer Watson. The yachts ! mailsail was hoisted by 10:40 and ten minutes later the same clubtopsail that was set yesterday was sent up. It only 1 took eight minutes to set it, showing smartness on the part of the crew In | handling the sail The wind was light from the southeast at this time and when the baby ibtopsail was broken
 out and the yacht filled away headed for the Southwest Spit buoy, she was only travelling at a six knot gait. Easing the sheets to port as she en- tered the channel Captain Sycamore headed her straight for Staten Island,
 giving her good full.
 The steam yacht Erin meanwhile had
 taken on board a number of the mem-
 bers of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick
 who had been brought to Sandy Hook
 by the police boat Patrol At the At
 lantic Highland she had picked up some
 others who had come down on the
 Sandy Hook boats, and she now follow
 ed the Shamrock up the channel to the
 northward, to the delight of the guests.
 Every passing steamer saluted the
 yacht as she sailed at almost steamboat
 speed up the bay. Captain Cameron of
 the steamship Teutonic. outward
 bound, passed Stapleton, S. l., just as the yacht luffed and came to the port tack for the beat back to the Hook. Standing over as close as possible Cap tain Sycamore then tackled to port right in the Narrows and the big liner salut- ed The Erin replied, and in addition hoisted the code flags signifying Pleas ant Passage" to which the Teutonic re- piled Success"
 Three tacks brought the Shamrock abreast of Coney Island Point and from there down to the Southwest Spit it was long stretch, close hauled on the port tack. She was able to lie her course easily in the smooth water and she passed the buoy at 1:25. She had covered the first half in one hour and fifteen minutes, against a strong tide and the second half in just fifty minutes. This was considered by the experts to be very good work.
 After a bit of manaeuvring Captain Sycamore gybed her and started back over the same course, with a somewhat lighter breeze and with exactly the same sail that the yacht had carried in yesterdays spin. This time she only went to Craven Shoal buoy, about a mile outside the Narrows, and then turning around she made another long reach on the port tack to the Spit buoy, j where she quit for the day.
 The Shamrock lowered her club top sail soon after passing the Southwest Spit buoy, and at 3:20 was made fast to her moorings in Sandy Hook bay. She will remain there tomorrow. She will probably take another trial spin on Friday.

Further Opinion of One Expert Who Thinks Shamrock Is sOverestimate ed.

New York, Aug. 2S.-The yachting expert of the Mail and Express who
 has taken a contrary view to the rest
 of the yachting writers regarding the abilities of the Shamrock, which on the whole he declares is not dangerous, writing of to-day's trial of the chal- lenger says:
 The Shamrock was out for another spin to-day. This time the racer was tried out in running reaching and beating in the two bays. In the run up and down the bays the Shamrock did not h. ing extraordinary until she came to close reaching. In this her superiority has not been exaggerated, as she went through the water at a wonderful rate of speed.
 However, the Yankee spectators con- soled themselves with the knowledge that this was only one point of sailing. Reaching is unquestionably the boats strong card, but as indicated by an ad- mirer of Yankee racers to-day, it has never won cup races on this side
 Exceptionally favorable clements greeted the challenger for the cup when she left Sandy Hook Bay, and these conditions continued throughout the trial.
 Captain Martin of the Jersey Central steamboat Sandy Hook, speaking of Shamrocks performance yesterday, said: T have seen many challengers, but none good enough to win the cup. This boat sailed fast in that close reach yesterday, but then any old scow would have sailed fast with that enor- nous spread of canvas and with that steady wind. The Shamrock is hardly fast enought to win the cup. The ma jority of the newspaper experts think she can win, but they said that of other challengers."
