Pleased that Sentiment Against Country
Has Changed.
(By Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON. June 10.-Count Cas-
SIM, the Russian Ambassador, In a con-
versation day with an Associated Press
representative seemed especially gratfled
that the popular disposition in this coun-
try to hold the Russian government re-
sponsibe for the deplorabe events at
Kishneff, arising out of the quick SYM
pathy Of the American people following
the first report of the affair, had been
succeeded by calmer and more reason
able view,
The prompt and energetic measures
taken by his government, he pointed
out, demonstrated conclusively that not
only were the limitations that the Rus
sian government had connived at what
occurred at Kishineff, which were In
sisted upon In certain quarters OF this
country, preposterous. but that every
thing which the government had done
since showed not only that II had no
sympathy with the affair, but that 1t
deprecated It as much as any foreisn
country could.
1.-THE feeling OF my government and
governments people toward the United
States said the ambassador, us, and
has been for years, most friendly toward
America and the American people, and
the relation between the two govern
ments have been most cordial. To dis
turb those relations owing to false I'M

ST. LOUIS, MO-. June 19.-Accordng
to James A. Waterworth, an insurance
expert of ST. Louis, the refusal Of insur-
ance companies to put up money for
boodlers in the legislative session of 1894
was responsible for the passage of the
bills abolishing rating boards In the city
and county Insurance. He said that the
session two years ago bills to repeal the
act abolishing underwriting boards were
introduced, At first $4,000 was demanded
for passage. This was afterwards re-
duced to $4,000. The companies refused
to produce the money and the bills were
killed in committee.
This year the business men of the cities
united In an effort to get the bills
through. The insurance companies did
not lobby for the measures at all. Only
the co-insurance bill passed
Meantime the boodlers had asked
from the companies that $25, 900 be put UP
to pass all three OF the bills introduced at
the Instance of st, Louis Business Mems
League and other commercial bodies of
the State. Louis II. Snow, OF st. Louis.
