 x h. president of the association offered the report of the committee on resolu- tions which was adopted. It was in part as follows:
 Another years. experience confirms my opinion expressed by the assoeia- tion last year that preferred business is the direct cause of multiple agencies, excessive commissions, relating, rate cutting and abnorffaI expense ratios. We commend the efforts of the com panies and the rate making organiza- tions in obtaining the most perfect and reliable information and statistics as to all classes of risks to the end that the rate upon each and every class may be so adjusted as to produce only reasonable profit We earnestly re commend all local agents to encourage and support comp mpanies which conduct their business on sole agency basis by preferring them in every practical way. {,
 The cotton, tobacco and whiskey business IS being lost by the local agents of the southern states. This transfer of business Is causing great hardship to both local and general agents and is defrauding the state of the legitimate income from taxation. The association earnestly requests all companies to faithfully observe the resident agency laws of the several states; to refrain from writing this business over the heads of their agents and do all that is in their power to de fend the interests of the local repre- sentative"

Contractor Who Finds It Hard to Get
 English Speaking Help.


 Contractor Who Finds Tt Hard fo Gel English Speaking Help.
 A contractor who has lots of work on hand and finds 1t difficult to get hold of the right kind of help, said today that 1t was mystery to him what had become of English speaking laborers in Waterbury. He said that call fou labor has become practically an an< qnown quantity in the market and thaf Italians who are willing to dig and| shovel are by no means as plentiful as they used to be a few years ago, and that as many of them as you can find demand pretty nice prices. Asked what he was paying for common labor. he replied that his figures ranged from $1.5O to $1.75 day, and $2 and $2 .25 for ..rock men, "What kind of mem are rock men?'' inquired gentleman who was listening to the contractog's wall. The employer explained that they are men who understand blasting and turning rocks out of their beds without running much risk of injuring themselves or others. This whole fallk sounds rather strange considering thaa one meets men at almost every turn Of the road who claim that they ars' looking for work but can find nothing to do.

ANOTHER BANK GOES TO THE WALL.
INSURGENTS SURRENDERED.
This Does Not Indicate the Collapse of
 the Rebellion.

Salonica, Macedonia, Oct 22.--Recent advices from NTonastir say that a con" siderable number of insurgents have surrendered in response to the sultans last call. The first of those who sur rendered were beaten and imprisoned; but, under stringent orders from the Yildiz palace, all the men who are now coming in are well received and have been pardoned
 This, however, does not indicate the collapse of the rebellion but is in con- formance with the revolutionary com mittee's decision to thin out the insur- gent bands during the winter and re- tain under arms only an aggregate of nbout $500 men. The insurgents who are coming in are men of inferior phy- sique, who could not stand winter campaign. They leave their rifles with the leaders who secrete them in the mountains, in readiness for opera tions in the spring. Not one of the leaders has surrendered
 The revolutionary commd ttee has no intention of resorting to the use of dy- 1amite bombs In the towns this win ter, but it declared that if the powers do not succeed in causing the estab- lIshment of satisfactory form of gov ernment by the spring every available man will be called out and every des- perate methods for gaining the ends of the revolut1onists will be resorted to.
