The INSURANCE LAW.

The Insurance Comp anies who have
withdrawn from the State have done
SO because they consider that the in
surance bill passed over the Cover To-
nor $ veto 1epeals the the Jaw against
incendiarism. Or i'll other words,
they are compelled to pay the policy
even in plain case Of ,ncendiarism
There was no such intention in the
bill, but it will have that effect.
The companies who object to the
bill say they are willing to come back
and do business IN Nevada if a law Is
enacted to tbs effect that the authori-
ties investigate cases OF incendiar Snl
and in cases where there is convic-
ton they are released from paying
and if the defendant is acquitted they
are willing to he held for the face O

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Circular of Caution to All Officers
and Employees of the Depart
ment of Justice.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. The United
States marshal and district attorney
yesterday received copies of a circu-
lar from Attorney-General Knox with
orders to post it in their office and
call it to the attention of all en-
ployes. The circular says:
ITO all officers and employees of the
department of justice:
"Your attention is directed to cir
cular of this department issued Au-
gust 20, 1900, in which section 2 Of
the civil service act of January 10,
1888, forbidding any executive officer
or employe, among others, to solicit
or receive political contributions
from any officers or employees of the
United States, was quoted, and all
persons serving under this depart
ment were required to observe strict
ly the prohibitions of this law, and
were recommended to refrain from
service on political committees
charged with the collection and dis
bursement of campaign funds. l now
repeat the iniunctions of that circu-
lar, and add the following further
directions on this subject:
Rule No. of the civil service rules
provides that no person in the execu-
tive civil service shall use his official
authority or official influence for the
purpose of interfering with an cleo
ton or controlling the result there
of. The spirit of the civil service
laws and rules renders it highly unde-
sirable for federal officers and en-
ployes to take an active part in DO
litical conventions or in the direc-
ton of other parts of political ma
chinery. Persons in the government
service under this department should
not act as chairmen of political or
nor make themselves I'M
duly prominent in local political mat |
tiers. 1t is expected and required that
all officers and employees of this de-
partment shall act in entire conform
ity with the views herein set forth -

HAS FAITH IN HIS AGENTS
In Guaranteeing Impartiaiity' sec
rotary Root Insists that II Has
Always Been shown.

| Washington, Nov. 90.-Secretary
Root yesterday addressed communi
cation to Eligio Bonanchea, presiden'
of the convention at Havana, CUBA
| that nominated Gen. Botolomo Mase
for president, relative to complaints
that United States authorities were
interfering in the Cuban elections. a
press dispatch from Havana stated
that Maso complained that the IN
fluence of United States officers was
being exerted in favor of ESTRADA
Palma, and a dispatch from Bonachea
to the secretary implied the same
thing. Following is the secretary
communication to Senior Bonachea'
washington, d. c., Nov. 20, 1901.
"Sir-I have the honor to aclnowl-
edge the receipt Of your dispatch OF
November 26, saying: The national
convention of Havana which has pro-
claimed Gen. Maso candidate for the
presidency of the future republic OF
Cuba respectfully asks you to recon-
mend to the representatives OF the IN
tervening government the strictest
impartiality in the electoral contest
which is now taking place.
1.-THE representatives of the inter-
vening government in Cuba are al
ready aware that their duty requires
them not merely to be strictly impair
tial in the electoral contest in Cuba,
but to refrain from interfering in any
manner whatever with the free ex-
preston of the wishes of the Cuban
people at the polls. They have not
violated this rule in the past, and will
not in the future. They will have
nothing to do with the electoral con-
test except to enforce the electoral
law prescribed by the constitutional
convention and promulgated by the
military governor on the 14th of De-
tober last. This will be done i'm
partially and effectively.
''It is quite unnecessary to assume
that the officers of this government
will be less faithful to their duty
than they have been in
the past, or to recommend or direct
that they shall perform duty which
they are already performing.
Very respectfully,
''ELIHU ROOT,
e ssSecretary of War"

driven out or kept in power by the

the most vital in the life of modern

loss of about 80 lives, said Friday, that
the orders given him at Montpelier
were to pass No. 13 at Seneca. my

and which agreed with his orders
read: No. 4, engine 609, VIII meet
No. 13, engines ss and 151 at seneca
and No. 8, engine 623, at Sand Creek.
After receiving these orders ! remem-
Der asking the agent at Montpelier
whether the new siding at Seneca
would contain my train.

car fixing up passenger ticket
when I saw the station lights OF SEN
eca flash by and Immediately felt the
air brake applied. | felt no ALARM
supposing the engineer was slowing
down for the east switch, in order to
see the numbers of 13's engines,
which 1 supposed had cleared.
'.Just then the brakeman, who had
been on the lookout, came hurrJlng
into the chair car and pulled the cord
twice.
''What is it, Tony? I called.
"'We're going through Seneca, he
answered, and an instant later the
crash came.
This bears out Supt. Burns state
ment that Engineer Stronge, of No. 4,
either misunderstood or forgot his or
ders and ran by Seneca, where he was
ordered to pass No. ID.
When Conductor Martins statement
was repeated 10 Engineer Strong later
the engineer said:
II have not denied at any time that
we received such an order. only |
say that if we did get such an order,
I misread and misunderstood it, and |
that l should have been set right by |
the conductor. My fireman will tell
you that he, too, understood that we
were to meet both trains at Sand
Creek instead of at Seneca.
IF I made an error / was not alone
10 blame. The other three members
Of the crew must have understood as
did or else they would have correct
ed me-"
Engineer Strong attaches responsi- |
,ibility to the conductor and brake
nan for the simple fact, he says, that
f he had understood he was to meet
10. IS at Seneca he would have
blown one long and one short blast
after whistling for the
seneca station when his train was
lalf-mile from that point. Not hav-
ng done SO, ne claims that either the
CONDUCTOR or the brakemen, if they
Understood the meeting order to meet
t Seneca, should have. whistled him
own by pulling the cord twice.
