DYING ALL THE TIME.

Assessment Life Insurance AssOcia-
tions Going Into Receivers' Hands.
The Chicago Tribune Of November 70.
says;
"Receiverships are numerous for assess
ment life Insurance companies. The Rail-
way Passenger and Freight Conductors, Mu-
tual Aid and BENEFIT association was placed
in the hands Of Philip J. Mcguire as re-
ceiver yesterday by Judge Hsnecy, and this
morning a receiver will be appointed for
the Marquette Mutual Life association.
Special interest attaches to the latter
because Of the prominence OF the men con-
nected with It. william Penn Nixon was
its president. Ephraim Banning was vice
president and the late-A. F. Seeberger was
treasurer. While started as an assessment
company. the intention was to develop II
into a legal reserve company, but in the
attempt to do this without the promoters
putting up the 800, 900 required by law, the
concern became involved in complications
which have plunged Mr.. Nixon and his as
sociates into litigation. The association had
reinsured the Western Reserve Life associ-
'ation, and had done some business for itself,
at the legal reserve rate, and the insurance
department required that this insurance
should be taken care OF. At a conference
held yesterday It was announced that moth
ing would be done by the association, and
so a receiver will be appointed today"
A recent issue OF the New York Sun notes
that There are more than 5000, 900 mem
bers Of benevolent fraternal organizations
in the United States, but the sums applic-
able to payments to members in sickness or
to their benehciaries after death are less in
amount than was the case twenty years ago.
Life insurance companies, on the other
hand, are steadily increasing the number
OF the insured and steadily reducing the
premiums charged for insurance and they
have a constantly growing surplus, the
accumulations Of which are a positive pro-
lection against those financial disasters
which occasionally overtake even carefully
managed benevolent orders.
The chief obstacle which bars the sue
cess of the benevolent orders is the fact
that when they are started the original
members are young men, good risks in
insurance parlance, and during the first
years of the organization, the members
are all or nearly all young men. Through
prompt payment Of premiums the reserve
fund then rapidly increases. After ten
or fifteen years, however, it is almost In
variably found that the drafts on the sur
plus begin to exceed the premiums col
lected. Deaths outnumber the admissions
to membership and as the surplus is de-
pleted, there is less inducement for new
members to join. AS a consequence either
the organization lapguishes or by specu-
lative investment it's permanence is i'm
perilled."

1 HORRIBLE TILE OF THE sEl.
OF Sixteen Persons on a Raft,
But Eight Survived.
Raft,

London, November 1.-THE Daily
Nails correspondent at Wellington,
n Il, telegraphs that the eight sur
Fivors from the wreck OF the British
steamer, Elingamite, who were rescued
on raft by the British survey steamer
Penguin, went through q dreadful ex-s
Eerience. The rafs from which they
were taken measured only twsslye feet
long BY seven feet WIDE and. had six
teen persons on it when it left the
wreck. The only food on board was
ta.o apples. The first apple was con-
sumed on Tuesday and the second on
Wednesday, each being divided into
sixteen portions.
From Sunday. the day sthey were
wrecked, until Thursday, Wien they
we're rescued the sGlvayoEsdraased
sixty miles on the half submerged
rast
Several attempts we're made to land
on Three Kings Islands, but without
success. Three men died on Monday
night from drinking salt water. All
of the survivors suffered the tortures
of thirst, and four other men and the
steWardess died of exhaustion before
they were picked up by the Penguin.
They had cruel disappoin sment on
Tuesday night. A steamer was sight
ed In the distance and frantic shouts
we're raised by those on the raft to
attract attention. The steamer lower
ed boat, which passed within Fifty
yards Of them, but the boats crew
apparently did not see the raft and
returned to their vessel.
s Wben the Penguin was sighted only
one OF the survivors was able to stand.
They were terribly emaciated.

LARGEST TOP CROP RECORDED.
Weather Bureau Director Bauer
Estimates That South Caro-
lima Planters Will Make
$5,00O,000 More From
Cotton This Year.

Columbia, November 16.-The un-
usual length of the rather summary
weather means great deal from a
monetary standpoint to the State.
Section Director Bauer, of the weather
bureau, said today that from reports
received by him it would be conserva-
tive estimate to make $1,000, 600 the
potable increase in profit to the cot
ton growers of the State. Tbs comes
about from the maturing and opening
Of the "top crop, which heretofore at
this season has been killed by the
frost.
Mr.. Bauer estimates that this top
crop, which has developed and opened
since September l, probably exceeds
what is called the lower and middle
crop up to that time. So long as frost
does not come this top crop may con-
tinue to develop and be gathered as it
is estimated that it is all not made
yet. The last crop report issued by
the local weather bureau, did not
show the crop TO be in the best condi-
ton, and the prospects for a full yield
were not at all encouraging, but this
favorable weather has changed all this.
It is estimated by prominent cot
ton mill man of this State that this
kind of weather means 80, 600 bales a
day throughout the cotton belt; an
unexpected autumn which will make
the crop prophets change their predic-
tions.

Gen. CHAFFEE's REPORT.
Warmly Defends the Officers in
the Philippines.

Washington, Nov. 14.-The annual
report of Major Gen. Adna R. Chafee,
just made public, covers the campaign
of Gen. j. 81. Smith in Samar. Gen.
Cbafee warmly defends the officers and
assumes full responsibility for all that
was done under official orders.
Speaking of the campaign in Samar
Gen. Chaffee says he finds nothing IN
the written instructions which was
not justified by the conditions there to
be overcome.
Gen. Chaffee requests the removalsof
all censure that has been passed pub
licly upon Gen. Bell regarding the
orders, circulars and instructions
which he issued while putting down
the insurrection.
An interesting feature of Gen.
Chafee's report relates to the Moros
in Mindanao and Jolo. He says it will
require time, tact and patience to es-
tablish United States authority over
all the Moro settlements. In this con-
nectiion he says:
THE SULTAN MUST BE BOUGHT.
"The sooner the Sultan of Jolo's
Title, actual or assumed, as sovereign
and as sole owner of land in the Jolo
Archipelago, is quilted, the better for
the situation. Probably there is little
doubt that a money consideration
would relieve the situation of his claim
and presence, and if this be done,
laws, just but simple, and so plainly
stated as to be understood by the Moro
population generally, could be enforced
through the Dattos upon their fol-
lowers, without much trouble or fre-
quent resort to force.'' Gen. Chaffee
says that force has been used only to
the degree necessary to make it under
stood plainly that persons entitled to
protection cannot be murdered, and
that the authority of the United States
cannot be questioned.
In concluson Gen. Chaffe makes a
statement of the general character of
the army and the duty of the troops,
which is in the nature of reply to
criticisms that have been made.

pied the greater part of the morning,
and general discussion of the report
of the committee on rules took up
what of the afternoon was not given
over to the reception of the resolutions
introduced by various delegates. No
action was taken on any of the resolu-
tions.
Eighty-seyen resolutions were sub
mitted. Many of them related to minor
points of organization, to requests
that various firms be placed upon the
unfair list'' and to claims of juris-
diction.

GREAT PACKING HOUSE BURNED.
Armour Plant Valued at a Million
Dollars Destroyed Millions
of Pounds Of Beef and
Pork Burned.

Sioux City, Iowa, Nov. 16.-The big
plant of Armour & Co., which occu-
pied three and one-half acres of ground
at the extreme south end Of the stock
yards, was totally destroyed by fire,
which started at 1880 O'Clock this
morning on the second hcor OF the fer,
tilizer building. The loss, estimated
by Charles Lennon, manager OF the
company, is 5000, 900. The insurance
is s721, 500. The cause of the FIRE was
said by Mr.. Lennon to have been
either spontaneous combustion or an
imperfect dryer.
Six hundred men will be thrown out
of employment all winter by the fire..
which was discovered by a watchman
of the building, who only few min
utes before had pulled a messenger
box on the floor where the flames
started.
The fertilizer building, which was
of brick, 120 by so feet, four stories
high, caught first. The floors and
contents of the building burned like
chaf. At 1.25 O'Clock the roof fell in
and a moment later the fire burst
through into the beef-killing house.
simultaneously the cattle chute ignited
and lasted about five minutes, when it
fell with a great crash.
From the beef killing house to the
cleomargarine building was only a step
and when the lard was ignited the fire
presented a most spectacular appear
ance. The big beef house, where 800
carcasses were hanging, caught at 2
O'Clock. By this time the entire plant,
except the big hog house, was aGre. The
roar was terrible. Twenty-four drums
of one hundred pounds Of ammonia
exploded before the reserve supply in
the ammonia cistern was reached.
That ignition almost razed the entire
plant from its foundation.
The flames next burst through the
heavy fire wall that separated the big
hog house, the biggest Of all, from
the other buildings. Not scrap Of
paper was saved from the Office. A
burning roof Of a chute fell upon a
bunch of live hogs and their squeals
was added to the appalling chorus. In
the building were 3, 800 dressed hogs
and 2, 800, 600 pounds of pork prpoduct.
After the fire got good headway in
the hog house all hope of saving any
part of the plant was abandoned. The
shops, chicken packing plant, ice
houses and ice runaways and smaller
department. houses were consumed in
quick succession.
From spectacular view the fire was
a magnificent sight.

AZTEC TREASURES FOUND.
Vast Cavern Discovered Contain
ing Immense Stone Images.

Hermosillo, Mex, Nov. IA re-
markable story, duly authenticated.
of the discovery of hidden treasures
has just been reported to the govern
ment authorities at Tepec, by Rev.
Pablo Martino, the parish priest Of
Yesca.
The priest makes a statement,
which is concurred in by several reli-
able witnesses, that party of Ameri-
cans, headed by an archeologist ex-
pert, who gave the name of Heyerick,
arrived at Yesca several weeks ago
and went from that place into the
mountains, accompanied by three
Mexican guides.
The archaeologist obtained his bear
ings by means of a chart which he
claims to have copied from an Aztec
stone tablet in the national museum
in the City of Mexico. He located a
vast cavern in a mountain near 1esca.
Immense stone images stood about
this chamber. In one end was a
handsome altar, above which burned
bright fame, supplied by natural
gas from crevice in the wall.
In chamber adjoining this main
temple was found great store Of
ornaments and utensils belonging to
the Aztecs, or some other prehistoric
race.
Twelve burros were require to trans
port the articles taken from the cave
to San Bias, where they were shipped
to San Francisco, accompanied by
the Americans.
AS such articles cannot be removed
from Mexico without the consent of
the government an Investigation is in
progress.
