sloie resistance against the action of the
state insurance department
IN taking that step. Commissioner
DDeartn. OF this state acted Jointly with
commissioner Giljohann, of Wisconsin,
the reason being that the officers of the
company had refused to submit to am
examinat ton by Actuary Wolfe, who has
been appointed by the two departments.
the company has caused to be circulat

stating that the Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin commissioners came upon them sud
denly and without warning with their
demand for an examination and gave
them no time to secure the consent of
the board of directors. Correspondence
IN the case however. shows that as
early as March 20 Commissioner Dearth
notified the officers of the company that
numerous complaints had been made to
him by Minnesota members of the asso-

not satisfactory and that he would re-

were accepted. To the latter was award
ell tho heating at $780, and to J. P.

DOLLAR GAS.

The announcement made by the New Haven Gas company, says Trum-
 bull in the New Herald, that after March l the price of gas will be S1 Q thousand feet for those who desire to pay their bills monthly has brought out the fact that Hartford and New Haven are the only Connecticut cities
 to enjoy this distinction. It has also aroused the other cities of the state to put in their plea for a like favor,
 promising to make $1 gas local
 issue wherever it now costs more. The
 reduction in the price of gas in New
 Haven was announced just after the election of a practical gas engineer to the presidency of the local illumi- hating company. 1 understand that,
 while the new president is firm be- liever in cheap gas and prompt pay ments, and would have urged its adoption as a policy at once, he found the work cut out for him by an old
 administrator and board of direct ors, which had long considered the change as demanded by modern busi- ness conditions. They became con- verted to 1t some month sago, when the project of selling the company to an outside syndicate fell through. But to whomsoever the credit is due for responding to this righteous demand of the New Haven public, there Is widespread and well-founded convic- tion there that the election of Mir Net tleton, of Derby, a practical gas engi
 Heer, to the head of the company, means immediately it's development in accordance with modern facilities of manufacture. The combination now presented is unsual with this particu- lar company. There are the wen-es- tablished organization, financially able and prosperous, and a president who is regarded as one of the most expert gas engineers in the entire country. The combination opens great business possibilities. It was, moreover, abso- lutely necessary to the moral welfare of the New Haven company that some such reassurance as the election of practical gas man should be given. The pride which has for years moved the people of that city because their local semipublic corporations were controlled and operated by local capi- taltal and skill was severely shocked year ago when it was discovered that quiet negotiations were being carried on to sell out to an unknown syndicate of outside capitalists. The protests which were offered by the press and by large stockholders put an end to them, but ever since. until now, there has been suspicion entertain ed as to its future program.

Senator Teller said of the Filipino petition, presented by him, which he wishes to have printed as q public document and which is now in the hands of the senate committee on the Philippines: My Filipino petition represents what might be called the great middle class of the Philippine islands. It is no protest from the Ma tional Filipino government. There is not in the list of 2.OOO and more the Filipino government. No one can charge that the document emanates from Aguinaldo or his followers. It is q sincere and unbiased protest ble citizens of the islands against the treatment they are receiving from the United States, and it is in the nature of petition for redress. 1 consider that in its way, it is one of the most conclusive documents that has vet been put in the hands of the Ameri- can people. It is the last word from the main body of educated business like Filipinos. The original document was, of course, in Spanish. It was delivered to me by Inestizo, himself a most brilliant specimen of the we'll educated half-Spanish and half Filipino business man. The document has been carefully translated, and every American should have an oppor- tunity to read it''
