JURY TO HEAR old WAYNE
MUTUAL RECEIVER SUIT
Unusual Action Due to Quo War
ranto Proceedings, Under Which
Suit Is Brought.
HANLY IN COURTROOM

That the attorney general has the right
in relation to the State to bring suit for
the appointment of a receiver for a life
insurance company was held to be legal
by Judge Carter of the Superior Court.
The question was argued before him on a
demurrer to the complaint for the appoint
ment of a receiver for the Old Wayne
Mutual Life Association of Indiana polls.
The attorneys for the company held that
the complaint was invalid because it was
not brought in the relation of the States
attorney instead of the attorney general.
w. A. Ketcham and Charles +. Averill
appeared for the company and Attorney
General Miller and Assistant Attorney Had
ley argued for the State.
The time for the final hearing was set
for May 81, when the case will be tried
before jury. To hear a case of this ma
ture before a jury is an unusual action,
but is permitted under the quo warranto
proceedings by which the case is brought
The State is not only asking for the APP
pointment of receiver, but that the COM
pany be dissolved and prohibited from con-
tinuing its business in this State. Because
of this fact the defense is given the
privilege of trying the case before jury.
Among the spectators who heard the
arguments in the case yesterday were State
Auditor Sherrck and j. Frank Hanly, Re-
publican candidate for Governor.

GENERAL ANDRE RESIGNS.
M. Berteaur French Minister of
Wm-Efect of Change.

Paris, Nov. 15.-General Andre to-day re-
signed the portfolio of Minister of War. and
Henry Berteaux member of the Chamber of
Deputies and broker the Bourse, was nomi-
mated his successor
This change in the Ministry is the cumina-
ton of fierce assaults upon the administration
of the War Office. in the course of which the
Chamber of Deputies the scene of several
wild disorders, including the recent personal as
sault on General Andre. These occurrences
stirred the public to high pitch of excitement.
particularly in army and parliamentary circles,
where succession of duels showed the bitter
ness.
General Andre reached the decision TO resign
only this morning and Immediately sent let
ter to Premier Combes. The text of this letter,
which was given out tonight asserts that the
attacks against the War Office were merely
device of enemies of the government to under
mine the republic. General Andre wrote:
While proud of the work to which have de-
voted my best energies, l have TOO mucn love
for my country and the republic to accept 1Or
one moment the hypothesis that l am the cause
OF disunion within the Republican majority. II
IS by the united action of this majority that the
ministries of Waldeck Rousseau and Comoes
nave saved the republic from the perils con-
fronting them. and IL is due to this continued
union that the Republican party will achieve the
great task before 1t.
The letter concludes with affectionate fare
wells to General Andres colleagues and his
thanks for their cooperation.
Premier Combes laid the letter before the Cab
met meeting this afternoon. and an agreement
was speedily reached to invite NJ. Berteaux TO
succeed General Andre. The Premier presented
NJ Berteaux to President Loubet at 6 o'clock
this evening. and announcement Of the change
was officially made
The of the resignation caused a sensa-
ton. The opposition to the Ministry hailed the
resignation a great victory which will speed
lily lead to the fall of the entire Cabinet.
Reports were circulated tonight that NM
Pelletan. Reuvier and Maruejouls also likely
TO resign the portfolios of the ministries of
Marine, Finance and Public Works, respectively,
but there is no confirmation of thesA reports
Conservative opinion is that the Cabinet will be
strengthened by the removal of the CHIEF source
OF the present discord and weakness
The choice of NJ. Berteaux evokes no enthusi-
asm, he is not soldier.

More ReserUe Riots.

St Petersburg. Nov. 15.-The newspapers this
afternoon received instructions to discontinue

at the zemstvo conference 1t is now said that
the conference has been definitely postponed
till January.
The papers urging that permission be
granted for the admission of press representa-
tives, but this has not yet been accorded.
Trouble with the reserves continues in various
places, especially in Poland, but the authori-
ties making efforts to allay the causes of
discomfort, and many of the abuses complained
Of have been corrected. The problem of caring
for the families of the reserves, many Of whom
are left almost destitute, is receiving earnest
consideration.
The members of the Revolutionary party
naturally are doing everything possible to
foment discomfort among the reserve men. urg-
ing on them that it is better to resist at home
than in the Far East but the War Office is
seemingly convinced that the troubles will not
spread to great extent.
