Folkething, the Danish House of
| Commons, but the King has insisted
on choosing his cabinet ministers
from the other party, the Conserva-
tiyes.
The representatives of the
minority have conducted the routine
business of the government, but
whenever they have had to ask the
Folkething for special funds, that
body, which controls the official
purse, has thwarted them. The royal
residence in Copenhagen, the old
palace of Christiansborg, was de-
stroyed by fire in 1884, and the feel
ing between the Crown and the legIs-
lature had been SO bitter that money
had never been appropriated to re-
store it. For almost twenty years
King Christian lived in comparative
ly small and shabby quarters at the
Amailenborg palace until finally the
long-standing dispute was ended by
the Kings recognition of the major
ity party.
It may not he surprising that the
expatriated William Waldorf Astor
should claim for the first American
Astor-and theoretically, Of course,
guished lineage. The distinguished
ancestor to whom his descent is
traced is Don Pedro d'Astorga a
Spanish grandee of the eleventh CEN
tury, who settled in France, where
his successors-a long line of sig
neurs and marquises-changed their
name to Astorg. AT the revocation
DE the Edict of Nantes, Jean Jacques
I'Astorg, who was Huguenot fed
-oas the Rhine; Johann Jacob AS
tor, the Waldorf butcher, was his
grandson. This information will, no
doubt, be of interest to American
antiquarians. 1t is well known that
John Jacob Astor came to this coun-
try an almost penniless immigrant,
hailing from the village of Waldorf
in Baden. His descendant of today
speaks of him as a peasant" but as
matter of fact he was the son of
the village butcher, and began his
career by working in his fathers
shop-a fact which it is not recorded
that he ever sought to conceal.

No more his brawny back he bends be-
meath the horses weight;
No more his ringing sledge he swings in

No more his face is covered Ger with
blazing FORCES smut.
Nor beaded with his honest sweat, its

Adown the street he sits at ease before

And jingles In HIS broadcloth pants his

For wise was he within his day and seized
the chance that came,
BY charging fourteen prices when the
motor cars went lame.

MURDER OF SCOTIY
 DEATH VALLEY RUMOR
His Famous Mule GailOS ed into Camp
 With Bullet Riddled Saddle.

Los Angeles, Dec. 20.-It is confi- dently believed that Walter Scott, the cowboy miner, who lately attracted such widespread attention through his lavish scattering of money and his var ious spectacular episodes, has been murdered in Death Valley. On Dec. he left his mine in Death Valley, rid ing a mule and carrying with him $500 and two repeating rifles. According to a letter received by Rol King Scott's manager in this city, from Scott's bro ther William, at Bennett's Wells, the miners mule gallOped riderless into camp there on Dec. ', with the saddle pierced with a bullet and a blanket and saddle covered with blood.
 Today King telegraphed $1,O0O re- ward to Barstow and Bullfrog for the recovery of Scotts body. King is sa- tisfied that Scott has been murdered for his money somewhere on the de- sert. Already a thorough search for the miner has been instituted in Death Valley and throughout the Funeral mountains.
 Scott's brother accompanied by Shand Merricks, a well known desert scout, went back on the trail of the miners mule for fifty miles after if came into camp, but a terrific sand storm finally obliterated all tracks and their water supply having become ex- hausted, the men were compelled to return to camp. Later they started out again and the search is being con- tinued.

THf SECOND STROKE
 OF D. |. & W. ROAD
Its New FireprOof Termina Buildings
 Burned.

New York, Dec. 2O.-The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad which a few months ago suffered the loss of it's HobOken terminal buildings by fire, sustained a still heavier loss today when the new ferry terminals of steel frame and supposedly fireproof construction at the foot of West Twenty-third street, Manhattan were burned to the ground. WOrkmen were putting the finishing touches on the building when the fire started, shortly before the noon hour.
 The flames quickly communicated to the new ferry house of the Central Railroad of New Jersey which with the Lackawanna terminals were considered the finest ferry buildings in the east, and this structure also was almost to- tally destroyed. For a time the fire threatened the Pennsylvania and Erie ferry houses but these were saved through the hard work of the firemen. who attacked the blaze with engines ashore and with fire boats from the water front. The loss is estimated at half million dollars. A careful search failed to show that any lives were lost.

Washington, Dec 2O.-Confirmations by the senate of the nominations of the members of the Isthmian canal commission were reconsidered today in the executive session, and a motion was adopted calling upon the presi- dent for return of the notification of the senate's previous action. When this has been done the nominations again will be referred to the inter- oceanic canal committee for consider at!on.
 Before the decision was reached to reconsider the vote, charges of "rail- reading the nominations were made by several minority senators, and counter charges that the protestantS were proceeding in a manner not pre- scribed by the rules of the senate were made by the republican senators. The decision developed the fact that there has been no poll of the canal commits sion nominations in question and as q result objection to reconsideration was withdrawn.
 It is generally understood that the purpose of the minority senators in asking to have the nominations return ed is to permit a protest against Chairman Theodore P. Shonts holding a position on the commission and tine presidency of the Clover Leaf railroad at the same time. The controversy in the senate resulted from a motion to

For Carrying on Insurance
 Business
The Idea of One Of the Witnesses Be. fore the Legislatite Investigating Committee.

| New York, Dec. 20-The Washington mia Life and the Bankers Life Insur- ance company divided the attention of the legislative insurance Investigating committee today. John Tatlock, pres ident of the Washington Life, finished his testimony which was begun yester- day. MT. Tatlock declared that per sonally he favored a distribution of earnings every five years.
 The witness took occasion to say that Thomas F. Ryan never sold the Washington Life any securities and that he never suggested to the finan- cial board what securities to buy. MT. Tatlock said he thought insurance companies should be run by men in touch with Wall street because of their knowledge of the security of the mar ket. He also favored the idea os in- surance companies speculating in se- curities.
 Cornelius DOremus, president of the Germania Life, said that about one third Of his company's business was done in Europe, principally in Ger many and that this business in many respects is better than any done in America. He declared it to be more stable, there being fewer lapses, while the cost is great deal less than in America. The medical direction is also better in Germany, he said. He char acterized the American way of doing business as wild methods"
 The only contributions of a legisla- tive character paid by this company were $500 to a fund having for it's ob- ject the defeat of the mortgage tax law and $250 to further the passage of the lien bill in Albany in 1904 No cam paign contributions had been made.
 E. L. Daylies, who collected the fund to defeat the mortgage tax law. said that he secured a fund of $22, ,OOO for this purpose. The Bankers Lie ex- animation will resume tomorrow.

He had fought hard, bat nature could no longer stand the strain, and after the gong had sounded for the close of the thirteenth round, he walked to his cor her and sat in his chair.

 While punched in the face and bad ly cut up and several times in jeopardy Fftzsimmons always managed to come to and resume the fight. Just at the close of the thirteenth round he landed a left on O'Brien's stomach, but the Phlladelphian came back with a sim liar blow and followed it with a left to the jaw. The gong rang for the close of the round and Fitzsimmons walked to his corner.
 As he sat down he said to Referee Graney: Eddy, he hit me in the stomach and it is all over.'
 Then his head sank and Bob FiiZsim- mons was defeated.

 Private information received thus far, however, says the little band of four Americans were returning home from DiaZ to Rutherford's ranch house. when they were beset by bandits and commanded to give up their Valuables. The Americans attempted to escape, but seeing flight useless, gave battle. The bandits outnumbering them sev- eral times closed in and mercilessly shot them down, taking their valuables and escaping. Mexican officers are on the trail, but the bandits have evident ly escaped into the rough surrounding country, probably being vaqueros on the neighboring ranches.
 telegram this morning from DiaZ said the bodies of Rutherford and Mur- ray would reach here tonight and Mrs. Lowden and friends are at the train with the undertaken to remove them to Fl Paso. No bodies arrived, however. and it is believed they were removed at Chihuahua for embalming at the in stance of officials, as the laws of Mex leo prohibit the removal of dead bodies within two years after death, except on a special permit of the governor. This, it is believed, will be secured, however and the bodies are expected tomorrow.
 Frank Bell friend of the dead men. will leave tomorrow to help get the bodies out of Mexico as he fears that Rudolph Gluckel, the partner of two dead men, is unable to attend to the removal of the bodies and look after the prostrated wife and sister of Ru- therford, Mrs. Rutherford also being accompanied by a small baby.
