CONGRESS OF AcTUAR1Es.
The Dawson Formula Encounters
 Much Opposition.

New York Sept. 1.-The chief discussion of the early session of the Congress of Actuaries today was on a paper on Re
 lationship of Initial Expenses and Selec- tion to Valuation" by Henry Moir of New York who brought to the attention of the Congress the new valuation formula sub
 mitted to the Acturial Society of America at It's meeting held in May of this year.
 The author of the formula is M. M. Daw- son. Most of the speakers opposed the use of the formula.
 After a recess the Congress took up a group of papers on the Province of State Supervision of Life Insurance Compa- nies." by Louis NJ. Maingie of Belgium, Dr. Alfred Names of Berlin. F. Rooselet of Berne and James Chisholm of Edin- burgh. MT. Maingie maintained that the State should interfere only to the extent indicated by the degree of public knowl- edge in matters of saving for the future and that It's duty was to protect the su- pervision and control so as to render them the means Of an educational wor. In this way the policy holder could be interested in the supervision in an effectual way. Legislation should not be special.
 Charlton L. Lewis of New York took the opposite view, holding that the posi- tion of the actuary in America was infe- rior to that of actuaries in any other

 Professor P. Bottini of Milan favored State control of the calculation of re- serves. but tha, only.
 James R. Garfield, Commissioner of Cor porations in the Department of Commerce. and Labor and delegate of the United States government said in part:
 Legislation on insurance in this coun- try has been wholly within State lines. The new Department of Commerce and Labor occupies the position of the student. We arc endeavoring to collect the intor- nation and facts we need and your Con- gress affords us just such information.
 Tt is not my purpose to suggest any policy which the bureau has. We invite the hearty cooperation of all lines of bus mess. My purpose. in particular, is to thank you for the opportunity this Con- gress gives us to study the papers of ex- perts on these various important sub jects."
 J. c. vancise of New York thought pub lie supervision should be limited to pulp licity and solvency.

SEARCH FOR AssALLANT.
Vigorous Effort to Appreheind the
 Guilty One.

Constantinople, sept. 4-ConsuI HaVeh-
 dal telegraphs from Beirut to Minister Leischman that the authorities there have
 been actively seeking the assaiiant of vice-Consul Magelssen. but the consul is not able to state if he is among the per- sons already arrested.
 The United States cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco are expected to reach Beirut today.
 The report circulated by a news agency September 1 in the United States that a balloon bomb has been found near the palace is utterly without foundation. Turkish official reports indicate the complete success of the military opera tions against the insurgents in the Klis- sura district. Over 400 insurgents are
 said to have been killed. The agent here | of the Hungarian Levant Steamship Line has gone to Burgas to investigate the three explosions which occurred We'd
 nesday on the Austrian steamer Vaskapu. | soon after the vessel had left the port of Burgas on her way to Constantinople. resulting in the death of twenty-nine per
 sons. The cause of the explosions Is still | in doubt.
 It is now said that the assistant con- ductor of the sleeping car was the au- ! thor of the bomb outrage August 27. | when the east-bound daily express from Budapest to Constantinople was blown up near Kuleli Burgas and seven persons
 were killed and fifteen others were in- jured. He left the train at Philippolis and has been arrested there. The Sultan announces the gift of 50,0O0 woolen coats

 In case a necessity develops. 1t is prob | able that the Turkish Government would
 be requested to allow the United States | to send a detachment of marines from

FOR MIR. CLEVELAND
THE CHICAGO CHRONICLE UR-
 GEs HIS NOMINATION.
Declares Him to be the Greatest and Most Popular Democrat Liv- ing-Would Poll Party's
 Full Strength.

Chicago, Sept t4--fGpeciaL)7-lu its lead | ing editorial tomorrow, The Chicago Chronicle waii uige the nomination of Grover Cleveland for the presidency, de- claring him to be ti.e greatest and most popular Democrat living. who. if norni- mated, would poll every Democratic vote In the country. The editorial says in part:
 During his last administration Cleve- land identified himself forever with three noble ideas which cannot fail to command the respect of the American people so long as the republic shall last.
 "Ie stood unfiinchingly for public and private credit.
 "He stood boldly for the energetic en- forcement of the laws of the United States against mobs and conspiracies or- ganized by desperate men on lines akin to rebellion and revolution. He stood like rock for principle now accepted by all Democrats and most Re- publicans that the power of taxation should not be used by the government to fortify monopolistic oppressore of the people.
 "In the presence of men whom Cleve- lands retirement has admitted to leader ship in the Democratic party-mere agi- tators most of them socialists and popu- lists, many of them and undoubted revo- lutionists some of them-the people of the United States have had an oppor- tunity in recent years to perceive the diff | ference between a constitutional Demo crat and a constitutional demagogue. Cleveland is not only the greatest
 living Democrat; he is also the most pop
 ular of Democrats:
 "If nominated for President next year
 he would poll every Democratic vote in
 the land. His candidacy would unite the Democratic party. His leadership would take the organization out of the mire of
 dishonest money, class hatred, envy. malice and disorder.
 l His nomination would solidify Demo- crats and it would cast out of the party all the devils of radcalism and revolu- l ton.
 "The times demand strong and good
 men in public places. Enemies of the American system are at work everywhere
 with their propagandas of destruction. Timid men ambitious men. uncertain
 men. vain and showy men, moved by
 every passing breeze, are not men for
 present conditions. As never before in | our career as a nation there is need today
 of true and courageous men In office
 men who do not fear to do right, who do
 not despair of the republic.
 That Grover Cleveland is such man
 Is plainly written in imperishable histo- ry of the United States and in the hearts of the people.

 Fortunito. with her two sisters, was lis- tening to the band playing in the park when Nulty came along.

They rained blows on Nulty and finally felied him. He was kicked in the sides and his face was torn by sharp finger nails and handsfui of hair were torn from his head.

So Far No Orders Have Been Sent to Admiral Cotton as to the Dis position of the War

Washington, Sept. 4.-Chekib Bey, Turkish Minister, called on Secretary Hay to inform him that he had received from his foreign office official advices to the effect that the American consul Al Beirut was entirely satisfied with the measures Turkey had taken to protect
 life and property there and to investigate and act with respect to the assault on
 Vice-Consul Magelssen. The Porte in | advising the foreign embassies and lega- tions of the measures taken to protect them. added a warning against the Bull garian bandits who might attempt to elude the Turkish guards and attack the | foreigners from within.
 | It Is a matter of some comment that there are about only 200 marines with the European squadron. but these with the | Kavasses already in the service of the | legation and with the Turkish guards assigned to Minister Leischman. will. it | is believed. prove sufficient for any emer-

 they say, and while the whole eastern portion of the Mediterrean might be covered with warships it was possible
 that none of them would force the Dardanelles.

 made which has been followed up by

 in case the United States desired to send
 a launch or small vessel with a guard for
 the American legation. Turkey would
 have a right to admit them to the
 Dardanelles without consulting the powers.

AMERICAN MISSIONARIES.
UniteI States Must Take Vigorous
 Measures.

London. Sept. 5.-The Morning Pos: publishes a letter from its Constantino- pie correspondent, in which he discusses the Beirut affair and the position of the American missionaries in Asia Minor. He says:
 Things have arrived at a crisis. The United States must either insist on the Porte listening to its representatives re- garding American converts or drop the missionaries altogether. The latter course is naturally impossible and the sending of squadron has great significance as showing a determination on the part of America to take an active part in the Turkish question.
 One result of this step will probably be to induce the Sultan to raise his rep resentative at Washington to the rank of Ambassador so that the United States can be equally represented here. At pres

A report published by The Patrie that the Government might expel Cardinal Gibbons from France, ow- ing to his alleged statements to the Bre- ton and other French clergy is officially pronounced to be false and absurd. The Government officers also express indigna- tion at such a careless use of the Cardi- naPs name. Cardinal Gibbons wrote to the Associated Press August 2S. saying that his alleged meetings with the Breton and other clergy of France were fabrica- tions without an iota of truth in them.

CHANGE OF POLICY.
Only Experienced Men Will be Ad-
 vanced in Consular Sewnee.

Only Experienced Men Will be Ad-
 vanced in Consular sewnee.
 Oyster Bay. N. Y., Sept. 4.-An impor- tant change of policy with respect to the making of appointments in the consular service was decided on by President Roosevelt. He discussed the change to- day with Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Loomis.
 For many years it has been almost the uniform practice of Presidents to appoint men to positions in the consular service substantially without reference to what ever previous experience they may have had. Quite naturally the President en- deavored to select for appointment men of integrity and ability, but experience was not a determining factor.
 President Roosevelt, after consultation with members of his cabinet has deter mined to appoint hereafter to important places in the consular service men who already are in the service and have had that experience and training in minor po- sittons which will render them the more capable of filling places of greater im- oortance.
 The change fin policy does not extend the civil service to the consular service and 1t does not extend. necessarily. consul's tenure of ofilce at any particular place, burt Is pointed out, 1t does give reason able assurance to the manufacturing and commercial interests of the United States thar in a comparatively brief time all im- portant consular situations will be filled. not only by men of character and ability. but by men. who by training and expert- ence are specially qualified to advance the trade intele ests of the United States.
 MT. Loomis discussed with the Presi- dent several appointments in the service that are to be made soon. It is under stood that all of the appointees will be men who are now filling places of lesser importance in the service. Their places will be filled by men who have not had the experience they have had.
 Secretary Cortelyou also called to dis cuss departmental matters.
