TO NCE RATES.
Fire Insurance Companies Take Action
 at Meeting Yesterday.

New York. Feb, 1S.-The Journal of Commerce will say tomorrow that at a largely attended meeting of fire insur- ance companies held this afternoon a resolution was adopted providing for an advance in rates throughout the United States east of the Rocky Moun- tains with the exception of New York city and it's immediate vicinity.
 The resolution, as given in the Journ- al of Commerce, gives as the reason for this advance that losses have been very heavy and during 1901 a remarkable number of fire insurance companies were forced to liquidate on account of their serious losses. The Paterson and Waterbury confiagrations coming on the heels of d bad year necessitated prompt action by insurance companies.
 It was agreed that throughout the country named rates shall be advanced p per cent. on mercantile stocks, ex- cept such as are occupied as dwelling above the grade floor and frame story buildings; also on all manufacturing risks and other special hazards which have not been rated under revised and approved schedules within one year.

WELLINGTON MAKES CHARGES.
Defends SchIey in do's
 Capture Unfntr.

Washington, Feb 1S.--During the de- | bate in the senate this afternoon on the Philippine tariff bill Senator Yelling | ton passing incidentally to the subject of Cuba referred to the battle off San- tiago. There the American squadron, he declared, was under the command of
 Rear Admiral Sampson, but it was led by ''the Maryland hero Admiral Schley." (applause in one of the galler- ies.)
 From that moment" he continued, "the end was won. Rear Admiral Schley commanded the vessels of the Ameri- can squadron in that engagement. He stood in the midst of that battle and won out as no battle ever was won be- fore But the administration has been as unjust to him as it has been to the Cubans and Filipinos. He has not re-
 ceived that need of praise and consid-
 eration that belongs to him, but an ef
 fort has been made to besmirch him
 and to detract from his character and
 from his truth and bravery"
 MT Wellington referred incidentally
 to his conference with the late Presi-
 dent Mckinley concerning the ratifica-
 ton of the treaty of Paris. He went over the whole situation with the pres- ident, he said, and made plain to him that he (Wellngton) never would con- sent to vote for any proposition which contemplated the permanent occupation of the Philippine islands by the United States,
 He maintained that our victories in the Spanish war had induced a reversal of the policy of more than hundred years. The United States government had been lured away from it's long time moorings by the siren whispers of Flu ropean nations that this government was becoming world power. He charged that Aguinaldo had been cap- tured by methods unworthy of the American army and that then he had been compelled under duress' to issue a proclamation advising his countrymen to surrender.

JSTHMIAN CANAE DISCUSSION.
Colonel Ernst Tells Why He Now Fla -
 vors the Panama Route

Washington, Feb 18.-Colonel 0. H. Ernst, of the isthmian commission, was before the committee on inter- ocean canals of the senate to-day In pre- liminary statement he said that the cuts on the Darien route before the tunnel was reached made that route impracticable. While 1t had not been examined carefully he thought it would take twenty years to construct such canal and at cost of $290,000,000. As a member of the commission he was as signed to the Panama route particulars ly, but he went over the Nicaragua route In answer to questions by Sen. ator Hanna he said that he would have recommended the Panama route in the first report of the commission. had the offer of the Panama Canal company to sell for 0000,0 900 been made at that time and he gave the following req sons:
 The Panama route was shorter, straighter, lower, having four locks as against eight for Nicaragua, and cost S1,350,000 less per year to maintain and operate. The Bohio dam on the Pan anna route was more difficult than the Concuda dam on the Nicaragua route, but the clay banks on the latter route were difficulty that would have to be overcome The healthfulness of Nicara- qua was better than that at Panama, but by sanitary and police regula ations the conditions in Panama could be i'm proved.
 Colonel Ernst did not agree with other witnesses that silt in the Chagres river would ever be a serious menace to the Panama canal The difficulties in the construction of the Bohio dam he said, could be overcome.
 Colonel Ernst said the insurance rates on the Nicaragua route would be great CT than those on the Panama route.
 Senator Morgan asked a series of questions regarding the floods and con- ditions of the Chagres river on the Panama route.
 Colonel Ernst said the water rose to 1 S9.S feet above low water in 1879. In fifty years there had been four floods of over thirty feet, he said. Such floods wuold cause considerable risk and cause contingencies in the con- struction of the Bohio dam.
 Police and sanitary control of Pana- ma would be necessary, he said, should the United States construct a canal there j

VANCE MCCORMICK WINS CAN-
 PAIGN IN HARRISBURG, PA.
Only Twenty-nine Years Old and Was Captain of Yale's Football Team fn 1s92-Results in Other Cities of Penn syiv"nia Republicans Sweep PhiIa- delphia.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1S.--Elections were held throughout Pennsylvania to-day for municipal and borough officers In some sections of the state the recent heavy snow storm had made the roads almost impossible and a light vote was the result, but in most sections a heavy vote was polled, especially in the larg- CT cities. Local issues predominated especially in the larger cities. Local is- sues predominated in the various con- tests. Thus in Philadelphia the candi- dates supported by the republican city and state leaders swept everything, electing all the candidates for the more important offices and nearly all the ward officers. This also included a big majority for the, s5,o0OO00 improvement loan.
 On the other hand Pittsburg was car ried by those opposing the city and state administrations, the independent having formed a coalition with the democrats under the head of the citizens party
 In the other cities, as stated. local is- sues were fought out. At Harrisburg Vance c. Mccormick, the democratic for mayor, is elected by 2,000 majority. Mccormick is but twenty nine years of age, and was captain of Yale's football team in 1892.

YALE AND HARVARD AGREE
TO MEET ON TRACK, IN BASEB4LL
 AND ROWING,
Prof Hollis, Chairman of tho Harvard Athletic Committee, Gives Out the Re- suit of ofCorrcspondence With Mir. Camp Future to Settle some Important Questions.


 Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 1S.-It has
 been finally settled that Harvard and
 Yale will meet in baseball, track ath- letics and rowing this spring and con ference has been provided for to ar range athletic relations in future years between the two universities. Profes-
 sor Hollis, chairman of the Harvard athletic committee tonight gave out the result of the conference between himself and Walter Camp of Yale last week. There are two main points,
 First, the contests this spring shall go
 on as usual and if any question of
 eligibility shall arise it shall be settled
 between representatives of the two uni versailles. These men are yet to be se- lected. Second, there shall be a con- ference in the near future between rep resentatives of the two universities which shall, among other things, settle the following points: First, the term of years of the athletic agreement; sec ond arbitration in regard to all ques tions of eligibility by representatives of the two universities; thir ], enforcement of rules of eligibility; fourth, satsfac- tory channels of communication be- tween the two universities.
 Professor Hollis said: "The core spondence between those who were charged with the responsibility of the contests has never been anything but friendly; furthermore there has been no break in the five year agreement as it will not expire until the first of March. It is hoped that rules may be made alike in the two universities with view to avoiding differences of understanding and interpretation. Sev- eral weeks or months may be required to revise the rules in order to get the best out of them as the hope at both places will be to maintain friendly and uninterrupted sports in the future"
 The text of the letter or agreement were not made public. The confer ences between Professor Hollis and MT. Camp were held in Cambridge last week Wednesday and Thursday and after both had thought over the matter the results as mentioned above were ar ranged by letter. The feeling at Har- ward is one of relief and satisfaction The undergraduates feel that there will be no more protests this year in view of the many embarrassing situations which have arisen lately. The pro- posed final conference for which the representative have not yet been chosen, points in every way to a definite athletic committee at each university and this Harvard feels cannot fail to be satisfactory.

Bishop Hartzell thinks that the formation of these camps was a wise military move and that they are likely to prove a more providential factor in future set tlement than was ever dreamed of through their powerful influence on the education of the Boers in hygienic laws and truer views of social life, etc.

ROYALTY YQUBSTION UP AGAIN
MR. GTLLETT GREYIO USLY DE-
 PLORES WHEELER,S ATTACK.

Two Democrats Openly Assert Amid Re. publican Applause That the Demo cratic Party should Not be Held Re. sponsible for the Kentucky Repre-
 sentative's Words-Mr. Wheeler Sticks by What He Said -fi ca ds Letters En-
 dorsing His Action-Jibed by Repub- Icans.
 Washington, Feb. 1S.--The speech of
 MT. Wheeler, of Kentucky, in the house
 last Friday, when he bitterly assailed
 Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote and criticised the official preparations for the reception of Prince Henry and Miss Roosevelts contemplated visit to
 King Edwards coronation, had 8 se- quel in the house to-day during the de- bate on the Indian appropriation bill Mir. Gillett, of Massachusetts, declared in a half hours speech that the intem- perance of MT. Wheelers language car ried it's own condemnation. Neverthe- less, he (GilletD grievously deplored such an affront to a foreign country. The more disgraceful such utterances the more notoriety they achieved, MT. Gillett said. Such remarks addressed to a foreign country naturally made an impression abroad. People there knew nothing of the man who gave utterance to them. They only knew of his off, cial position as member Of the Amer ican house of representatives. On that account, he said, the stigma of the gen. tleman's speech attached to all of the members here.
 At this point two democrats arose and disclaimed sympathy with MT. Wheel CTS remarks.
 MT. Robinson dem, of Indiana, de- clared, amid republican applause, that the democratic party should not be held for his statements.
 "1 have made no such charge" ob- served MT. Gillett, ''but if gentlemen on the other side do not agree with Mr. Wheeler they should say so."
 This brought Mir Thayer, of Massa- chusetts, to his feet with another state ment that Mir. Wheeler spoke only for himself It was unjust and unfair, he drclared, to charge the democracy with being in sympathy with his utter- ances
 "One after another," observed Mr GilIett, with an amused smile, while his colleagues were conyulsed with Iaugh- ter. Then MT. Talbert, dem, of South Carolina, jumped up. t'I want to say" he cried, that I desire to take my share of the responsibility for that speech. I endorse every word he said, and am sorry he did not go farther. I think those who believe as he does should say so, and not be internal cow irds about It."
 In continuing MT. Gillett said the good will of every nation was valuable % the United States, and 1t was ex- ,eedingly unwise to fling a taunt in the 'ace of great power. Personally. he said, he himself was not in sympathy with the worship of royalty. There were only two classes in this country vho regarded birth. One was the aris- ocratic class of the great cities and l he other the class which refused to refinement, culture or educa- i ion if it was tainted with color. But le believed that the visit of Prince 1enry was a proper occasion for a suit | ble demonstration of good will. Our
