AWARD OF SI,25O,OOO
Against a New York Life Insurance
Company for Damages.

New York. July ia petition has
been received by a local judge, says a
Buenos Ayres, Argentina, despatch to
the Herald, requesting on the part of
a Montevideo court the seizure of the
funds and properties of d New York
life insurance company to pay 81, $50 900
damages awarded to Cassimro Castro
The local judge has issued a bankrupt
decree against the company and has
appointed a receiver for it's properties.
The seizure of the properties has been
postponed, however under an arrange-
ment with counsel for the receiver.
The Uruguayan authorities are consid-
ering u. S. Minister F'inch's commun-
ication requesting a revision of the
courts decision in the suit which was
brought by Castro because the COM
pany's lawyer prosecuted him on the
charge of insuring hopelessly ill per
sons to collect the claims after death
and the accusation was not proved.
In its defense, the insurance COM
pany alleged that it's lawyer was not
authorized to proceed against Castro
and that the attorney acted upon his
own responsibility.

Company Secures 26-Year Franchise
in Chica go.

Chicago, July 16-The city council by a
vote of 80 to II early this morning passed
an amendatory ordinance giving the ILL
nois Telephone and Telegraph company
the right to construct and operate for IS
years tunnels for the transmission of par
GELS and merchandise as well as for a

All the amendments submitted by the
mayor and corporation counsel were
adopted without discussion. The two prin-
cipal ones were those providing that at
the expiration of the grant when the
tunnels of the company are to revert to
the city, if the company makes good a
bid for their use as any competitor it
shall have the preference; and providing
the company shall have fifty miles Of
tunnels constructed inside of ten years,
and seeking to compel the company to
have in operation within five years of the
passage of this ordinance a telephone sys-
tenn with 5000 subscribers
The ordinance is the most important
measure passed by the council since the
first measure giving the same company

granted February %. 1854

CLEANER POLITICS.
Kansas Has the Same, but Needs
Some Borax.

The fellows on what is known as the
boss buster end of this deal desire to
smother any inquiry into the real truth
of the situation. An appeal to the peo-
pie before the guilty parties are identi-
fed would be absurd. The Burton
crowd and the Leland crowd are in the
main honest. In every crowd the hon
est men predominant. But there were
crooks in each crowd: the house had its
pick pockets and the senate had gentle
men who played the slot machines. One
of these same is a big gun in the Boss
Buster outfit, screaming his lungs out
for the publication of politics. He has
his match in the other faction in the
lower house, probably 1t would be
strange if he hadn't. But the talk about
appealing to the people with the thief
at the head of the crowd hollering stop

clean up the politics of Kansas on nom

Liable for More Taxes.

Helena, Mont, July 16.-The supreme
court has decided that insurance COM
panies operating in this state are liable
for taxes upon the excess of premiums
received over losses and expenses in the
county where their agents conduct the
business. The decision is regarded as
very important one and may greatly in
crease the revenues of every county IN

rendered in the case brought against the

scrutiny of the buildings now standing
which are believed not to conform to the
proper standards of strength or fire-resist-
ing qualities, The Star had no desire or
thought to adopt either view of the contro-
Versy which. it appears. RACES between the
advocates of rival methods materials.
1t merely hopes, and it will continue to
work. for the adoption and maintenance
here of such standards as will measurably
reduce the risk of disaster. 1t does not
wish to see its suggestions enforced by
collapse or holocaust. 1t therefore be-
lieves that the surest way to prevent both,
as far as possible. is for the Commissioners,
through u carefully selected committee OF
experts. to pass upon all suspected struc-
lures which are heavily occupied, either
regularly Or occasionally. Their inspection
need not bear upon the dispute as to the
best materials. 1t is asserted that large
buildings are now standing in the city
which lack any fireproofng safeguards
whatever. With floors entirely of wood,
the whole of such structure is mass of

Bonds or a Federal Advance.

In the course of interview. printed in
todsy's Star, Senator Gallinger, speaking
as chairman of the District committee, de-
clares himself in favor Of meeting the ex-
traordinary expenses attendant upon the
construction of great public works by either
a bond issue or federal advance. 1t is APP
parent from his statement that he does not
believe I'm paying for these works out of the
current revenues on a cash basis.
1t is as he SAYS. improbable that the con-
sent of Congress can be secured to a bond
issue for this purpose. owing to a prejudice
against this method of raising large sums
of money for the District. But it is also
evident that Congress has no objections to
allowing the federal treasury to advance to
the District sufficient sums to enable 1t to
meet its bills. provided the District pays
interest thereon. AS the federal advance
system is now practiced it is reasonably
subject to criticism. 1t is but little removed
from a cash payment plan. The money is
advanced on a short term and in order to
repay it the Districts revenues are cramped
50 that IT is impossible adequately to meet
the current needs, which are yearly grow
ing.
The ideal federal advance such as would
stand as the equivalent of bond ISSUE
would be for definite period of, say twenty
years. with provision for repayment either
at the end of that tim or before if the
District. after meeting the usual sinking
fund requirements and all proper current
necessities. could accumulate a surplus.
Such an advance would serve every purpose
OF bond issue, namely, certainty as to
date of repayment and a sufficient period
to enable 1t to assemble refunding balance
without drawing too heavily on the current
revenues.
The Star has steadfastly urged that any
solution of the problem by means of an ad-
vance from the federal funds should be thus
planned, on long-term basis. The govern
ment's security would be as good as would
that given to the private holders of bonds
Indeed, the government would be secured to
the best possible effect. inasmuch as 1t
handles the local revenues and dictates the
course of local legislation. In all that is
said or done in opposition to the cash-pay-
ment plan, such as Is virtually now in
vogue, these two processes should be viewed
as interchangeable as far as the effect on
the District is concerned.

Mr.. Olney.

Mr.. Morgan. in the Senate yesterday, in
some remarks on the Panama situation
quoted a man who had made a name for
himself in diplomacy" as follows: For the
first time in my life 1 have to confess that
l am ashamed of the attitude of my coun-
try" Mr.. Olney is said to have made the
confession. The remark is interesting prin-
cipally as showing that a man who sat at
the cabinet table with Grover Cleveland and
assisted in the effort to besmirch American
diplomats and naval officers in the Ha-
waiian matter, and to re-estabiish dy-
nasty In those islands which had fallen
from its own rottenness and nfamy, can
experience about public affairs a feeling
which, in moment of excitement, he takes
to be shame. He puts himself forward as
study for the psychologist. What Mr.. Nor
gan thought of that transaction we all
know. By the way, when in town the
other day, Mr.. Olrey called at the White
House. and paid his respects to the man
who stands for the countrys shameful at
titude in the Panama matter.

The Defective Fine
from the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The busy season of the defective f1ue'' is
here, and that prolific instrument of evil ap-
pears TO have as many engagements as
usual. Undoubtedly, fires which originate
otherwise are sometimes attributed to de-
fective fiues, because that is the easiest way
TO account for them without a troublesome
investigation; just as the drowning of a
good swimmer is commonly explained as "a
case of cramps" though it may have been
due to apoplexy or heart disease But the
fact remains that the defective fiue' causes
an Immense aggregate loss of life and prop
erty. 1t almost always testifies moreover
to the carelessness or incompetence of its
builder. Yet how seldom is any attempt
made to fix the responsibility for the conse-
quences of such slovenly work The man
runs little risk of punishment or even of de-
lection who is willing to toss a handful of
plaster into gap in chimney instead OF
closing 1t securely or to do any one of a
dozen things which may eventually expose
combustibie materials to flames or sparks
or excessive heat That such crimnalIy
Negligent workmen are numerous is con-
stantIy demonstrated, though, unhappily
they are hardly ever identified The regu-
lations by which builders are supposed to be
governed are perhaps strict enough in most
places. but it is exceedingly easy to disobev
them.

Granite for the Union Station.

I The Commissioners have formally decided
| to grant a permit for the construction of
the new union station building in the
Bethel white granite, as proposed by the
railroad authorities. They base their de-
cision upon full hearing of the case,
Suppleme nted by personal inspection OF a
sample building. followed by a personal
inspection by the Engineer Commissioner
office of the quarry from which the granite
is to come. Thus the final action may be
accepted founded upon the best obtain
able information. and a guarantee is given
to the community that the building, con-
structed of this material, will conform to
the requirement of the law that it shall be
monumental in character -~-..
This is an eminently satisfactory out
come of the affair. Not only is the com
n.unity assured of an artistic result in the
finished building. but the jurisdiction of the
Commissioners in the premises is affirmed
in most emphatic manner. Had the
prematurely announced decision of the rail-
road to use granite instead of the expected
marble been permitted to stand without
question on the basis of the reasons given
for the substitution. there would have been
no guarantee whatever that the laws re-
quirements would have been fully observed.
that it was cheaper and that it would
offer greater resistance TO smoke than the
marble. POth of them served to prejudice
the substitution in the mind of the public.
Now the Commissioners, representing the
people of the District, have satisfied them
selves that the chosen granite Is actually
better material. that it will insure the
creation of a monumental building and
that 1t will incidentally. wear better under
the general as well as the specific con-
ditions to- which it will be subjected Thus
the public is assured of equally good and
perhaps better results. even though Incl
dentally. they may be slightly less costly
of attainment.
The present decision leaves the smoke
question where 1t was. There should be no
inclination on the part of the Commission
erS to lower their requirements as to the
smoke menace at the union station merely
because 1t is believed the granite walls of
the building will be less susceptible to
smoke staining than marble would be. The
city will still suffer if the smoke emission
thus concentrated is unchecked by any
device or expedient. Therefore, even
though the Bethel white granite, chosen
because 1t is superior building material,
may not stain SO readily as marble every
thing possible should be done to reduce
ton of appliances, the substitution of hard
for soft coal, or the use of electric loco
motives within the city limits

The Cleveland movement has just started.
The real dyed-in-the-wool Clevelanditcs
have just begun the fight. Their line now
is to show that the ex-President is the only
man with whom the party can win. They
concede some merit to other aspirants, but
their favorite is pre-eminently the one for
the occasion, and they insist that he shall
be called.
As one may see, men Of this stamp are of
practical. everyday character. They sell
dom. if ever, read Horace, and they never
quote Latin. They would be afraid to use
a dead language in connection with as live
an individual as they conceive Mr.. C1eve-
land still to be. The idyllic conditions at
Princeton are nothing to them They want
a candidate, and they assume that there
will be no trouble at all in coaxing Mr.
Cleveland from his retreat If they can in
duce the democratic national convention to
call for him. Catch them asking the ques-
uon that "Cincinnatus' asks! They know
ne Will serve, and they are fairly well con-
WINGED that he would be glad of the oppor-
tun1ty And maybe they are right. Prince
ton is not pleasanter place to live in than
Washington, and the White House is pref
tier than ever
