The prospects, of an extra session Of
the Senate continues to increase as the
4th of March approaches with no fur
ther consideration of the important
treaties now before that body. The
Statehood debate hangs on in a dispir-
tied fashion and the lack of interest
display ed would be, in itself, sufficient
evidence that compromise on the sub
ject is expected. Senators Aldrich,
Hale, Lodge and Quay. have held two
conferences on the subject and all pre-
dict compromise at an early date, al
though they have not yet been able to
get together. The plan which it is ex.
pected will be adopted will provide for
two states, one to be composed Of Okla
homa, with the PROVISION that Indian
Territory shall be added when the
Dawes Commission concludes the allot-
ment of the Indian lands, the other OF
Arizona and New Mexico. This plan is
by no means satisfactory to the demo-
Gratis but they may conclude that it Is
better than nothing or than an extra
session of Congress which might mean
not anything for the aspirants to State
hood.

Of Interest to insurance Men.

A case of considerable interest to Fire and
Life Insurance Companies and municipal
authorities has been taken TO the Court of
Appeals of this State. The question is,
whether or not municipal authorities have
the right to compel insurance agents to pay
q license for doing business In incorporated
towns.
The case originated in Cambridge, where
Abraham l.. Pcarce, agent of the Mutual
Life ms. Co.. N. Y, was tried in the Dor
chester County Court for the violation of
town ordinance imposing license of $1,000
q year on each solicitor of fire or life insur-
ance in the town.
The Mutual Life Insurance Company re.
fused to allow its agent, MIR. Pearce, to take
out the required license, and he was indicted
by the grand jury at the April term of court
in 1909. Mr.. Pearce's counsel first demurred
to the indictment, but the demurrer was
overruled and the trial came up. The ordi
nance was held good, and Mr.. Pearce was
fined $40 and costs. He will take the case
to the Court of Appeals. The contention of
the Mutual Life Insurance Company is that
It pays license to the State of Maryland for
doing business In the State, as does each Of
it's solicitors, and that neither Cambridge nor
any municipality has the right to force it to
pay q own license. Carroll Record

According to an agreement reached
by the Commerce committee copferees,
and with the approval of the President
the Interstate Commerce Commission is
to remain intact and with the powers
conferred on 1t by the Elkins bill will
be greatly increased in importance and
ability to remedy such eyi's as have
heretofore attended the management of
transportation companies and corpora
tions. Senator Elkins, speaking Of his
bill, pointed out to your correspondent
that it was merely form of the bill for
which he has long been laboring, but
which heretofore included an authori-
cation of the railways to spool" for the
maintenance of rates and conferred
power on the Interstate Commerce
Commission to prohibit unreasonably
high rates. 1.-THE bill in its present
FORM" said the Senator, meets with
the approval Of every one who under
stand its provisions. 1t is simple and
Can be easily comprehended. There is
nothing about it which will run counter
to the decisions of the courts and it is
in no danger of being condemned as ua-
constitutional. 1t was unanimously a.
dopted by the Senate, which proves that
it pleases the democrats as we'll as the
republicans. I have every confidence
that the bill when enacted into law viii!
do me credit"

There seems to be little doubt that
the Senate will meet in extra session
after the 4th of March for the ratitica-
ton Of the treaties now before it. There
is considerable opposition to the Alas
kan treaty and Senator's Turner and
Foster of Washington have informed
your correspondent that they will vote
against its ratification. At the same
time, Senator Lodge. who has just com.
pleted canvass Of the Senate on this
convention, informs your correspondent
that it will be ratified as soon as suffi-
cient time for its consideration can be
secured. Senator Lodge says that the
opposition is based on misunderstood.
ing of it's conditions and that when the
time arrives there will be no difficulties
in the way Of convincing the present
opponents of the arrangement that it is
worthy of approval and the best that
the United States can make under the
circumstances.

Minister Bowen's rough and ready
methods of discussing diplomatic affairs
came very near causing a rupture OF the
present negotiations during the past
week. Mr.. Bowen is very direct and
frank and pursues what is popularity
called "shirt-sleeve" diplomacy. These
methods proved severe shock to Sir
Michael Herbert and Baron yon Stern
burg and they attempted to take an ap-
peal to the President oyer Mr.. Bowen 8
head. They went so far as to ask the
President to arbitrate the questions at
issue. This the President was disin-
cllned to do and Minister Bowen, as
the representative of Venezuela, en-
phatically declined to permit Of such
arrangement and reiterated the sugges-
ti8n that all al bitration be performed
by the Hague tribunal. Protocols pro.
yiding tor the immediate raising Of the
blockade are now being prepared, with
the provision that the matter of prefer
entails be referred to the Hague. These
it Is now expected will be signed at an
early date. Incidentally, the negotia-
tions have been the occasion for Great
Britain to administer a decided snub to
her ambassador, Sir Michae' Herbert.

show his rebuke to his brother diplo-
