RATED FIRST CLASS
BY THE ASSOCIATION
Savannah Has Achieved That from the insurance
Organization for Which She Has Long Striven

Under the agreement made with the
Southeastern Tariff Association by the
Mayor and Aldermen, Savannah is now
rated on the basis of a first-class city.
1t was agreed that the new rate
would become effective as soon as the
Mayor notified the association that it's
requirements had been complied with
Mayor Myers gave such notice yester-
day.
The Mayor made an effort to COM
municate with Agent J. S. Raine who
had in hand the work of rerating the
city, and learned that Mr.. Raine had
completed his work and had left the
city. Mayor Myers forwarded a let
ter to Agent Raine and wrote a sec
ond letter to the secretary of the tariff
association. When the Mayor affixed
his signature to these letters the new
insurance rate for Savannah became
effective.
OF course, this rate cannot be given
until the printed pamphlet has been re-
ceived by the local agents. This PAM
phlet will be in their hands within
the next three weeks, Agent Raine
stated before his departure from the
city. But those who take out insur-

should BE Fixed.
Boston, Dec. 21.-Congressman John
S. Williams of Mississippi, the Dem
ocratic leader of the national House
of representatives, was the principal
speaker at the annual dinner of the
Massachusetts Free Trade League here
tonight. The others were Charles S.
Hamlin, former assistant secretary of
the treasurer, and Congressman John
A. Sullivan, both of Boston. About
200 members of the league attended.
According to Congressman Williams
the goal in the tariff reform race is
not free trade. but a tariff for rev.
enue only. The speaker said that the
evolution would be so carefully. and
gradually effected that IL would not
disturb industrial and commercial con-
ditions. The speaker assured his hear
ers that IAN earnest effort will be
made by the Democratic members Of
Congress to revise. and reform the in
iquitous tariff"
Mr.. Hamlin's subject was Free trade
in spots" while Congressman Sullivan
severely araigned the administration
upon its attitude towards Colombia
and Panama.

Plus DESTROYS HOPES
of a POntihcate More Liberal Than
the Inst.

Rome. Dec. 21.-To-night's Osserva-
tore Romano, the Vatican organ, pub
fishes an important document signed
by the Pope on the action OF the
Catholic laity. which is said to be rem
dered necessary by the proceedings or
the recent Catholic Congress at Bo-
logna. which showed such opposite
tendencies of the Catholic conservatives
and the Catholic democrats.
The document quotes nineteen articles
and rules taken from the encylicals
of the late Pope Leo, the following
being the most important:
Christian democrats must entirely
abstain in Italy from participating IN
any political action which in the pres
ent circumstances. and for reasons or
n very high order, are interdicted."
Thus the Pope destroys all hope en-
tertained by the Liberal elements in
the Catholic party that they would be
allowed to participate in the political
life of the country.
other important rules mentioned are
for the direction of Catholic writers
who must abstain from anticipating
the views of the Holy See on leading
subjects. They must submit all writ
ings concerning religion, Christian mo-
rails and natural ethics to the CEN
sorship of their bishops, and they are
constrained to do this even in the case
of publications on mere technical sub
jects. In the case of differences pub
llshed in the newspapers they must
submit them to the ecclesiastical au-
thorities, who will pass upon them.
These rules have greatly dampened
the enthusiasm of those who hoped
that the present pontificate would be
more liberal than the last one.

SIMPLY FIRED TO
ATTRACT ATTENTION,

Paris, Dec. 21.-The commissary of
police, who has conducted the inquiry
into the attempt on the life of Max
Nordau, the well-known writer and
vice president of the Congress of Zion
lists at the Zionist ball here Saturday
night, has taken the testimony of
Wesche, a bystander, who was wound
ed by one of the bullets fired by the
Russian named Selik Louban, the man
arrested on the charge of attempt
ing the life of Nordau. Weschi de-
clares that Louban fired into the air.
and that he, the witness, was only
struck because one of the bullets rich
ocheted.
Louban has abandoned his first dec
laration that he was chosen bv a
revolutionary Congress to kill Nordau.
He now says he had no intention of
killing anybody. but simply desired to
attract attention to himself.
The charge against Louban is not at
tempt at murder, but carelessness in
the use of fire arms.

NO ORDERS TO GET OUT
Have Been Given Americans I'm the
Dnrfen District


Darien District
Panama, Dec. 21.-There is no truth
in the report that Americans have
been given twenty-four hours to leave
the Darien district. There are less
than a score of Americans in the en-
tire district and practically all of them
are located at Cana, where they are
engaged in mining. Cana is about
three days inland from Yaviza. The
presence of Colombians at Titumati
and the discovery of a few men about
Cana, supposed to be Colombian spies,
decided the miners to withdraw, which
they did, passing through Yaviza on
the way out.
Nothing has occurred recently to in
dictate that the Colombians are moving
towards the isthmus, and the situation
is distinctly quiet. The naval author
tiles have decided that there Is no need
TO send reinforcements.
The detachment of marines at YaviZa
is engaged in scouting the entire dis
trict. and so far has not reported the
presence of Colombian troops.
Orders have been given to the COM
manders of the gunboats in the San
Miguel Gulf and to the two outposts
to keep a careful watch for Colombian
troops, to avoid contact or the opening
of hostilities with them, as far as pos
sible, and to inform the flagship i'm
mediately of their presence.
