LAUGH AT SECRETARY
AcTUARIEs DISCUSS MORTALITY
 IN HAVANA.
War Departments Figures Are Con- sidered Ridiculous by MT. Hoff- man-Minister ouesada En-
 ters Protest Against Speech.

1 New York, Sept 1.-At today's session
 of the fourth international Congress of
 Actuaries, David Garment, Assistant Ac- tuary of the Australian Mutual Prevalent
 Society of Sydney, addressed the congress briefly, conveying a greeting from the
 Austrilfan actuaries and expressing the hope that an international congress of
 actuaries will be some day held in his | country.
 The first paper discussed was that by Ralph Pardy. delegate to the Institute of Actuaries, London. on Brief Notes on the British Offices Mortality Expert ences, 1sSS-lS93"
 The afternoon session of the congress began with general discussion concern | ing desirable subjects for futurity mor- tality investigations. Emory McClintock of New York spoke of the work of the committee of the Acturial Society of l America having charge of the recent in- vestigation into the expense of the thir- | ty-four life insurance companies with ninety eight classes of risks. and Presi- dent Uiers0n called upon Carroll D. Wright. United States Commissioner of | Labor, who said, in part: During the last three or four years, have been frequently asked to furnish 1 rule or measure of damages to be applied when a man is killed in some mechanical trade. The courts are without the rule, and am unable to supply it. I think, however, that with the assistance of ac- tuarial skill. such a rule may be supplied so that we may have fairly correct ta- bles showing the expectancy of life in the various trades.
 Such a work by the actuaries of this and other countries would knit the ties between the insurance companies and the people. It needs the actuaries of the dif- ferent countries to ascertain with rea- Ca aN Ia bles"
 President Pierson read the following telegram from the Cuban Minister at Washington:
 "ln justice to my country I beg you to say to Congress that Mir. Hoffman's statement about statistics and mortality of Havana are not correct. I send by mail publications of the sanitary depart ments of Cuba showing how hasty and unfounded are his remarks. They show the mortality to be at the annual rate of about 20 per thousand During last June 1t was the annual rate of 1S5 per thou sand.
 "Quesda, Cuban Minister"
 Monday. MT. Hoffman, who Is universi- ty lecturer on acturial subjects said in part:
 When we are told by a Secretary of War that the mortality in Cuba is not more than that in New York city it does not require much acturial knowledge to cause one to smile and to know that Is nonsense"
 He also declared that the statement that the death rate of the city of Hava- ma is no greater than that of Washing ton was untrue and that for some time to come the death rate of Havana would be from 50 to 100 per cent greater than any northern city
 The first of the papers set for discus sion in the afternoon was ''The proba ble future course of the rate of interest" by J. Burn, F. I. A., of the Prudential As surance Company of London.

Peculiar Disease is Ragine, in
 Cuba.

A Peculiar Disease is Raging in Cuba.
 New York. Sept. l.-Menaced by n dis ease which has baffied the best medical skill of the island the health department of Cuba have appealed to the authorities of Columbia University and Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia for aid in determining the nature of the disease.
 Most eminent pathologists and hacteri- ologists of these institutions are working. says The World in conjunction with the medical authorities of the marine hos pital and public health department of the United States government in an effort to determine the nature of the disease.
 The description of the disease furnished by the Cuban physicians shows that it presents the worst symptoms of yellow fever, black fever and spotted fever.
 It is in death that the disease presents its most horrible phase. The victim s pulse rate rushes to 16O, heart beat which is deemed almost impossible. by physicians of experience. The respira- tion counts 5S. These organic disturb ances. together with a temperature of TOT or 1nS do not cause instant death. but the high fever generated soon burns out life.
 The disease always attacks persons who have suffered from intermittent maIarial fever,

Chattanooga. Tenn. Sept. 1.-At the regular meeting of N. B. Forest Camp. United Confederate Veterans, tonight. considerable criticism was heard of the manner in which the reunions have been conducted within the past few years.
 Objection is made by the members of the camp that these meetings have be- come rather immense social functions, rather than a mingllng of the veterans who fought under the Stars and Bars. After the close of the New Orleans reunion, there was considerable feeling in the local camp and 1t was resolved to start a movement for a change.
 committee was appointed by the camp and this made a report last night. The report was adopted. It advocates a change so that the meeting will accom- plish the objects as first intended. leav- ing of the merely spectacular features.

 and the bill which 1t presents, for the reg ulation of primary elections, your Com mittee has recognized the universal de- | mand for honest and clean methods in the selection of public officers and has, in complete sympathy with this demand. | tried to draw a primary election law ! which would secure these ends.
 ''The bill to provide for a general stock law has presented a most difficult ques- ton to deal with. There are almost as many divergent opinions upon this most important subject as there are legisla- tive minds in both branches of the Leg islature. The varied interests of different localities and the many conflicting ques- tions of right which it presents have per plexed 1t almost beyond solution. 'The bill to confer and limit the powers of private corporations is supplementary to what are known as the Hall bills which have already become laws by the action of this Legislature, and is intend ed to complete the subject so that it may conform to the requirements of the new Constitution in such particulars in which this instrument differs from the old one
 Your Committee has sought to give ample powers to these instruments of in- dustry, and. at the same time. has tried 10 CdreIuliy protect the TIBHtS or the pup lie against any dangerous or unguarded privilege which might be harmful to prl- vate rights or the general good.
 Your Committee presents such bills as 1t believes will protect the public in it's dealings with banks and which. at the same time. no solvent and properly con- ducted enterprise of this character should complain of.
 Perhaps the most difficult. as 1t is cer- tainly one of the most important of the duties devoIving upon it. has been the preparation of laws for the incorporation and government of municipalities.
 '"To fully cover the requirements of the new Constitution and. at the same time, make the transition from the old to the new order of things. as little disturbing to local conditions which. in SO great a Commonwealth. are of necessity so va ried. has been the endeavor of your Com mittee.
 Tt has sought to provide ample power to municipal authorities to secure good government and has. at the same time, kept before it it's fixed conviction that public good means the secure enjoy ment. as far as may be. of private rights.
 Tn carrying out your instructions. your Committee has worked with the full ap- preciation of the fact that 1t enjoyed the

 Tt has been inspired. solely, with the
 desire to serve the interests of the pub. lie. without prejudices. without seff-seek. ing and without fear. | "Your Committee has tried to be cath. 1 olic in it's action, 1t has wished to fur ther all legitimate progress ef all lawful enterprise and 1t has also jeaiously re- | membered that to proniote the peace. l welfare and happiness of the individual citizen Is the highest function of Eov- ernment. 6
 It trusts 1t may be permitted to say. withou impropriety, that 1t Is firmly con vinced that the Legislature of the State of Alabama is too patriotic not to take the work of your. Committee in the gen. ors to that end entities 1t.
 "Your Committee, in addition to the bills which have been enumerated In this report. have prepared several amend ments to the general election bill. known as the "Bankhead Blll' and has redrawn the bill. with the amendments incorpo- rated, and has instructed the Chairman of this Committee to deliver this copy 10 the Chairman of the Committee on Priv ileges and Elections of the Senate, and to move that the Bankhead bill alluded to. which is now on the Senate Calendar. be recommitted to that Committee In order that these amendments may be incorpo- rated into it, or that the bill as amended by the Committee may be offered as substitute for It, subject to the action of the Committee on Privileges and Flee tions. t
 ''The Chairman of your Committee has been further instructed to introduce the bills which the Committee has prepared and ask their reference to the proper standing committees"
 The report is signed by all members of the Committee.
 Senator Goldsby moved the adoption of the report, which was carried.
 The Committee on Rules reported fa- vorably on the House resolution to hold the sessions on alternate days until Sep tember 8.
 Senator Harrison of Lee said he doubted the advisability of this action. He was of the opinion that time would be lost.
 An "aye and mo- vote was called for and the report of the Committee on Rules was adopted by vote of 25 to T.
 After the announcements by chairmen of the several committees of the time and place of meting of the Committees today. he Senate on motion of Senator Norman of Chambers adjourned until to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock.

Stockmen Meet in Kansas City ant
 Form Plans.

Kansas City. Sept. i.-Twenty- five stockmen from different parts of the wes. tern grass country met in the Midland Hotel in this city today and arranged to perfect the organization of a packing company to compete with alleged pack CTS trust.
 The new company was named the In- dependent Packing Company. Articles of incorporation will be drawn tomorrow and signed at meeting to be held tomorrow afternoon. The company will have a cap ital stock of $5,0o0.000 and will be incor- porated under the laws of Arizona. Of the total capitalization 5l per cent will be disposed of as to be held in escrow by the board of directors of the company. This will insure stockmen who interest themselves in the plan that the company will always be controlled by stock in- terests.
 The Independent Packing Company will build one plant in the Missouri Valley. but the exact location has not yet been decided upon. It is to be in operation in the fall of next year. Another plant will be built later. probably in Texas.
