erlng for the succession.
Some Of the Erie county delegates are
mildly booming Daniel ". Lockwood Of
Buffalo, but his candidacy is not taken
seriously. Other candidates in the run
ming include Delaney NicoII Of New,
1ork; Judge D. Cady Herrick, Of Al
ban-, and Smith NJ. Weed, Of Clinton
county.
Would Like Lamont.
Daniel S. Lamont. upon whom tie
convention would undoubtedly fix is
choice If he had not himself declined
emphatically 20 accept the nomination,
probably meets the views OF the ma
jority- Of leaders as to the man best fit
It'd to head the State ticket.
Lamont pleased Judge Parker, and a
eJord from that gentleman even now
would result I'm Lamonts nomination
out of hand 1t is understood. however.
that Lamont asked the Presidential
nominee. upon the strength of his per-
SOnal friendship to see that his la
monts) name should not be brought be-
fore the convention, and that Parker
acquiesced is almost certain.
Nice Words for Mayor.
The Mcclellan boom has seemingly
spruT= up from a clique of the New
York mayors admirers who have no
other basis for it than their personal
liking for the man.
John B. Mcdonald the subway con-
tractor. while virtually admitting that
Mcclellan viii not be brought before the
convention. has lost no chance of saying
a good word for him. and is telling his
friends the mayor would be elected by
a larger majority than any other man
the party could name.
Hill Reaches Town.
David B. Hill arrived at 10 a. m. and
was Immediately driven to the Grand
Union Hotel, where he occupies a suite
Of rooms With him was Deputy At
torney General Charles 4. Bulger, who
was in the conference at Wolfert's
RoOst last night. Mr.. Bulger said that
50 far as he knew Mr. Hill was not
committed TO the candidacy Of John 3.
Stanchfeld. and that he thought the
State leader had come upon the scene
with an open mind.
"All this talk about my being made
permanent chairman is rot" said Mr.
Bulger. Il am looking for only one
thing-the best man for governor"
Senator Hill was surrounded by re-
pOrters as he entered the hotel.
Not a word, gentlemen" he said. and
fairly ran OF to his room. Seen later,
Mr.. Hill said that the man who had
been selected for permanent chair
man was not certain TO be here, owing
to the Illness of a daughter, and that
while awaiting the receipt of IA tele-
gram from him, the craftsmanship
would remain undecided.
Mr.. Hill said. however. that Charles
NJ. Bulger would probably not be elected
to the place. There are three names
now under consideration.

Irregular movements characterized the
market. The discussion OF Saturdays
bank statement took a rather unfavOr-
able form and some influence was eX-
erted by the rather pesSimistic tenor

exceptionally heavy on discussion Of

lost nearly all the gain. There was
some resistance offered by Missouri Pa

up 4 points. and held the gain well.
Consolidated Gas lost 2 per cent. Num-
bers of the usually inactive industrials
enjoyed attention. but without sensa-

FEAR OF RATE WAR
NOT ENTERTAINED
Local Insurance Companies
Would Suffer Most.

The publication IN The Sunday Times
OF the intention Of c. Martin Brand,
one Of the local fire insurance under
writer's. to reduce the rate on dwellings
and their contents 30 and so per cent re-
spectively. has caused no end Of commo-
ton among the insurance fraternity. As
matter Of course. none Of them is will
ing to be quoted, and they all shield
themselves behind the declaration that
the case can be dealt with only by the
local executive committee Of the board
Of underwriters. This committee meets
tomorrow afternoon. but the public will
not be advised of whatever action IL
may take, because It's decision IS subject
TO confirmation or rejection by the
board having charge Of the middle de-
partment, with headquarters in Phila-
delphia.
Local Companies Most Affected.
It develops through inquiry from per-
sons identified with the fire insurance
business in the District that the under
writing most affected by the reduction
Will be that Of the local companies. be-
cause II is stated, by far the larger
proportion of insurance on dwellings
and their contents is done by them.
The outside companies are more i'm
portant factors IN the field Of rnerca n
tile insurance, and the most of the in
surance on dwellings secured bv them
Is gotten through the medium Of loans
In fact. an official Of one OF the Larger
insurance agencies stated todav tbat
the rates in question would have been
reduced long ago II II had not been
ior the objection Of the local companies
Rates Too High.
1t is generally admitted by local in
surance underwriters that rates on
dwellings and their contents are too high
here, in comparison with other large
cities. but they advance in palIlation 81
this fact the contention that the cbeaDer
rate In places like New York and PnIia-
delphia is made possible bv the Is-go
profits obtained from mercantiIe fns,,2
ance. and the enormous business Of tbis
kind to be had In such cities. In IVaeb1
inRton, mercantile insurance nla-yS a
comparatively Insignificant part. and e.
Is said that the merchants have more
than once complained OF the excessive
rates they have to pay.
In the present aspect Of the case a
rate war Is not expected, because. for
the reasons above stated, the local com
panies would be the greatest sufferers
from such action. 1t will be some days
before action, IL any, is crystallized. AS
an officer Of one Of the local companies

SIMPLICITY OF THE POPE
Once Prepared Coffee for a Guest with
His Own Hands Assisted
by a Count.

One morning early, writes William
J.. d. Croke, concerning the new pope,
in the Century, a friend of mine, a
Venetian nobleman, called on him. Mgr.
Sarto had said mass and settled down
to work. His sisters had gone out to
mass, or for the household marketing,
which they were doing at the Rialto on
August 4, 1903, the day of wonders in
their simple life.
HAS the count taken coffee?" asked
the bishop.
"Well to tell the truth, no, because
the business was urgent, and | have
come straight from the railway station"
the guest replied.
No excuse availed, and Mgr. Sarto
rose and went into the kitchen. So the
bishop of ducal Mantua and his guest
might have been seen there talking and
laughing, while m%onsignor coa&ed the
charcoal with a black kitchen fan, the
coffee fixed in a tin pot on the range,
and the count got out cups and saucers,
in order to save his distinguished host
what mental service he could. Then
they had coffee together at the kitchen
table.
