WASHINGTON, March 15-Briga- lier General Frederick Funston, who is making visit to the east, arrived at Washington last night, accompanied by Lieutenant B. J. Mitchell, his aid. The generals purpose here mainly is to pay his respects to President Roosevelt and Secretary Root. He will remain until next week, when he expects to depart for Oakland Cal. where, Mrs. Funston is staying He said that his leave of ab- sence from the division of the Philip pines will expire April 10, at which time he will leave San Francisco un- less there shall be a change ill his as- sgnment. If General Funston is to be given duty i'll the United States on the expiration of his leave, he has not yet been made aware of it. His preference would be to remain somewhere in the northern part of the country for about year ill order that his health, which was so severely shattered during the campaign ill the Philippines, may be fully restored.

There is nothing new in the smallpox martin informed q Democrat reporter, who had chat with him at noon. He said that he had investigated rumor regarding the presence of smallpox ill the Gallagher block at the corner of Baldwin and Rye streets. so Pond street, and found that there was no ground for the rumor i'll either case. It was said yesterday that some of the children belonging to Supernumerary Officer Gabriel, who lives in the Gala gher block, were sick with the dis ease, and the story received such cred ence in some quarters that q couple of girls who live in the neighBorhod and work i'll the watch shop were left home on account of it. It is hoped that the health officers statement will allay any fears that might have existed in peo- ple's minds relative to these cases.
 The health officer said that all the patients at the isolation hospital are getting along nicely with the exception of Coffey, who is very sick. The quarantined parties are doing well and so far none of them show any symp- toms of the malady It was reported this morning that two of the inmates of the Waysde Inn were sick with the disease, but the doctor denied this. He said that they were suffering from the effect of slight colds and had no cause to be alarmed. Kevin Drury is writ Ing novel and expects to make q hit with it after he gets out. The Salva.

They are thinking of challenging the Way side Inn fellows to play game of base ball on Good Friday, the receipts to be turned over to the city to help pay for free vaccination in the public schools.
 The people detained in the Mccarthy block are in good spirits and it is not thought that anything will occur there which Will render it necessary to keen them locked in any longer than was at hrst intended.

 lament, Who Is In Chicago.


 Chicago, March 15.-The Inter- Ocean tells of meeting between Dr G. B. Clark. a former member of the English parliament and q strong peace party man, who is ill Chicago sup posedly on business, and the Boer en- voys, c. H. Vessels, A. D. w. Wol- marans and Montagu White, at q small dinner given by Peter Van Vii sigen in a private room at the Chicago Athletic club
 The envoys arrived in Chicago from Washington yesterday. Dr Clark reached here Thursday. Dr Clark s visit and the motive therefor, accord ing to the Inter-Ocean, is yelled in mystery, and it also alleges that it was against his wishes that his pres ence in the city at this time became known to anyone outside of the offi- cers of the Transvaal league.
 The dinner was behind closed doors and no one save the host and his five guests heard what was discussed. Those present were the three special envoys, pr Clark, $. A. Calhoun, q member of the Chicago TransvaaI league, and Mir Van Vlisigen.

STEEL FRAME BUILDINGS.
Steel Corrodes And in Few Years
 Skyscrapers Will Fall.

Skyscrapers Will Fall
 Chicago, Mar 15.-"The steel frame work in many of the big buildings in the business district of Chicago is cor roding, making them very dangerous. It is only a question of few years when these buildings will fall to the ground"
 This statement was made by Gen eral William Sooy Smith at the thirty fifth annual dinner of the Chicago Real Estate board. He added: '.That the steel framework of some of the sky scrapers is in the condition stated is nothing short of public outrage
 The speaker explained that his statements were based on personal observations and Investigations.
 'sThe steel framework imbedded in concrete will last 2,000 years." he said. But the steel framework in many of the big buildings is left free to the action of the air and gas which circulate through the tile and a space about the steel.
 ''The owners of these structures have the steel painted with oil This oil will withstand the corroding pro- cess about three years. Then begins the corroding of the steel, and within B few years your skyscraper will fall. 7
 The speaker said that the elevated road structureawoul not withstand the corrosion. He asserted that with in ten years they will be dangerous and within twenty years out of ser vice The corrosion of one fifth of the thickness of the steel framework of the structures, he said, will render them incapable of bearing their own weight.

WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH.
Proposals For Settlement in Cloves
 Miller Case Fallen Through.

Proposals For Settlement in Cloves
 Miller Case Fallen Through.
 Negoations for peace between George H. Cloves on one side and Charles Miller and c. P. GosS and the directors of the Randolph Gloves com pany on the other side have ceased and the litigation that was attempted to be settled in these negotiations will now be pushed to the full limit by MT Miller and those interested ill the issue with him. The first step in this di- rection was taken yesterday by Col onel Burpee, counsel for Theodore Caldwell in his case against MT Cloves in asking Judge Gager of the superior court to grant an order for an addition al attachment ill that case. The order was granted and this morning an at tachment of all of Mir Clowes's in- terests ill the Randolph-Clowes com pany was made. The amount is not exactly known. None of those inter ested are able to say what it is except MT Cloves and he is i'll, but it is about $75.000 A few days ago it was thought there would be m amicable settlement. MT Clowes's lawyers and his wife met the other side to the contention ill the offices of Burpee X Carmody and prospect was favorable for q speedy settlement But it has since been stated that Mrs Gloves would not listen to the proposals and has determined to fight the matter. The case of Caldwell against MT Gloves is for $75,000 for money the defendant is said to have taken from the firm of Randolph x Cloves and appropriated to his own uses. To ex- pedite matters the administrators of the estate of the late Mir Randolph gave to MT Caldwell the right to enter suit against MT Gloves, he being a resi- dent of the state. What MT Cloves side to this is remains to be disclosed
 Mir Caldwells claim is that while the books of Randolph & Gloves show during certain period that no profits were earned by the factory, MT Gloves made large investments in real estate

 The Misses Prichard of Pine street, until recently owners and occupants of

 Yesterday Mayor Kilduff and T. F. Lawlor, chairman of the board Of health, awarded the contract for build- ing an addition to the isolation hos pital to the Tracy Bros. The cost will
 not exceed $600.
 | The city has accepted the offer of Dr Maloney to devote two hours per day | to the work of vaccinating children sent to him by the board of charities.
 The hours are from 10 o'clock in the morning until noon, on week days only. The doctor inoculated about fifty children to-day.
 | There must be something wrong in the makeup of the state board of med 1 lcal examiners. else we wouldn't have | physicians divided on such an imports ant question as vaccination. All f1aunt their certificates from the state board of examiners in the teeth of those who
 want to know what right they have to | do business, so that it looks as if one was as well equipped as the others If | a man who is vaccinated homeopathic ically is not vaccinated at all as some | of the best doctors we have tell us,
 why does the state allow the home opathists to do business? This is q
 pretty serious matter and it is about l time that the state was heard from on
 he question. As things look now the l homeopathists have good ground for
 action in the courts against those who
 say that their theory of vaccination is
 wrong.
 The Democrat has been sending cop | ies of the paper. as well as other read- 1 ing matter, to the different places quar-
 antined by the board of health. The I intention is that each family should get
 one paper and it is hoped that wheis the officer passes the bundle in who- ever receives it will see that they are passed around.

INSURANCE REPORT
Part 2, Relating to Accident, Casualty,
 Miscellaneous Companies.

Hartford, March 15.-Insurance Commissioner Schofield to-day issued part of his annual report relating to life, accident casualty and miscellan- eous companies for the year ending December 31, 1901. It is announced that part of the report dealing with the condition of affairs of secret or fra ternal societies will be submitted about April l. The report contains q yaIedictory in which the insurance commissioner says it is the last report which will be issued from his hands, as he has rendered his resignation to Governor Mclean.
 Life underwriting for 1901" says the report, shows most remarkable gains and the reports of companies de velop a conservatism in management
 which is worthy of cOmmendation. The total admitted assets increased ill the enormouS sum of $15O, ,665. ., liabilities increased S14O, ,496, 1:S3. .S6. The percentage of insurance expense of management to loaning shows q de
 cided improvement with the majority of the companies. The character of the investments, real estate holdings decreasing, and bonds and stocks
 largely increasing, reflects favorably
 on management. Death claims resist ed have decreased from $S69292 60 in 1900 to $716,99O96 i'll 1901. Commend- able promise is shown in the adjust
 ment of policy claims
 The commissioner says the income of his department for many years has been far in excess of it's actual needs
 the surplus revenues for 1901 amount ing to S5S, ,S66.S St. This surplus will
 be enlarged during 1902 by some $15,- 000, because of the legislation of 1901
 in the state of New York, by which a tax Of one per cent on premiums of life and casualty companies is imposed on the companies of this state The retaliatory laws make necessary the imposition of a light tax on premiums or business ill this state received by New York companies. The depart ment was not created as q revenue producing agency of the state, but
 was designed to afford proper super vision of insurance affairs at 4e ex pense of insurance companies. In
 my Judgment there is no proper war rant for the collection of fees and fax | es in excess of the department ex- penses except as they may accrue by
 reason of our retaliatory statutes. The existing laws can be so amended as tC do away with as far as possible al l fixed fees and charges that can be use6 as basis for retaliation by other states. The charge for valuation o1
 companies policies should be reduced
 at least one-half and fees for certif.
 cates should be placed at nominal
 sum. The fees and taxes collected
 while nominally a charge against the
 company are actually paid by the in surfing public"
 Comparison made in the report show
 the increase ill total admitted assets
 of Connecticut companies for 1901
 over those of 1900 to be $7,653, ,149 .O2 Companies of other states show in
 creased assets of $125, SIS, ,94O.67. while | industrial companies increased thei,
 assets $23,564. .575.4S The increase
 i'll unpaid and deferred premiums dur
 ing 1901 was $3,236, 422. .54.
