Editor or IHE LEADER:
Kindly insert the following reply to
Inquiring Citizen in your next issue.
In the first place, have more i'm
portant matter at hand than to reply
to defamatory articles written by an
anonymous writer in a sensational
newspaper; however, sometimes my

the remains of E. G. Sharratt with ex-

for the work, l could hardly be consid-

confidence.
The cause of death was ascertained
and If l had not unfortunately cut ont

work and endeavored to locate the bul

Pilgrimage From Colorado.

In July next, several hundred of Col
orado's most prominent business men
will leave Denver for Portland, in two
of the most magnificenly equipped
trains that ever rolled out of the Union
Depot in the Colorado capital. A. J.
Spengel, chairman of the organization
committee of the new Denver CONNER
cial club, is in charge OF the prepara-
tions.
Feeling that the Lewis and Clark Ex-
position would attract thousands OF
visitors from the East, and afford Colo
radans an opportunity to exploit the
resources and inducements of their own
state by coming in closer touch with
the visitors, the trip has been arranged.
Its itinerary will include Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, Washington and Utah,
and strenuous missionary work for
Colorado will be done at every point
along the route. In this manner, it is
hoped to induce many to visit Colo.
RADIO. One train will carry the bust
ness men of Denver, while the other
will convey those from Trinidad, Pu.
eblo, Leadville and Colorado Springs.
Each will be excellently appointed for
the comfort of the "Colorado Boosters"
carrying two dining cars and extra
forces of porters. The trip will occupy
about fifteen days.

RUSSIAN STRIKERS APPEAL TO
TROOPS TO JOIN REVOLT.

The workingmen's organization rep
resenting the Russian strikers has adj
dressed the following appeal to the
soldiers and sailors:
Comrades and Brothers: For a long
time we have misunderstood each other.
Your officers taught you to regard us as
enemies of the fatherland and as Grimm
ais whom you should shoot, beat with
your whips and butcher with your bay
onets.
Our struggle for the peoples freedom
and the peoples ~well-being has been de-
picted to you as a revolution against the
fatherland which you are obliged to sup
press. Many of you, believing this, have
shot your own brothers, filling the streets
of our towns with blood.
The case is now altered. The Eyes of
many of the soldiers and sailors have
been opened. They understand that all
OF us are brothers and that we are sons
of the same nations whose common ene-
mics are your commanders and those in
power. They understand that the liberty
OF the people is their own liberty n
the good Of the people their own good.
The men of the Black Sea fleet at
kronstadt stood against their command
ers and s~ignifed that they wanted to
lead the lives of men, that they wanted
liberty, and they associated themselves
with the cause of the people. A hun
dred sailors at KronStadt have been
handed over to a court martial n to-
day or tomorrow may be executed.
Knowing this, we workingmen of st.
Petersburg struck, demanding the release
of our soldier and sailor brothers and
the abolition OF courts martial and the
death penalty.
Is it possible that you, soldiers and
sailors, will not arise and help your
brothers at Kronstadt? Is it possible
that you will remain hand in hand with
the murderers Of your brothers at Kron-
stadt?
We workmen say, '"The cause Of the
soldier and the sailor is our cause" and
so we have gone out on strike. You
must say everywhere, The cause of the
workmen is our cause, and the struggle
of the workmen our struggle" and you
must associate yourselves with the strug-
Cling people. You must strike and re-
fuse to perform the duties imposed @.
you. Do not listen to the W.. j 0f COM
mand calling upon you to put down the
Workmen's movement. Let not one shot
be fired by you against the people.
Down with your blOodthirsty com
manderS! Long live a free government
and a free people!

Received Commissions on His Own
Insurance..

Insurance.
After being on the witness stand before
the Armstrong legislative committee OH
insurance investigation for the greater
part of three days at New York, Gage
Il. Tarbell, second vice president of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society, finish
ed his testimony Wednesday aud just be-
fore adjournment submitted a list of sug-
g~estions for the remedy of existing abuses
in the management Of insurance compa-
MES and for legislation designed to give
the state proper control over the compa-
MES and to insure the confidence Of the
policyholders. Prominent among these
suggestions was absolute publicity.
While admitting that wrong had been
lone by life Insurance officials Mr.. Tar
bell said he had no apologies to make for
any of them and that he hoped they
would be punished.
Mr.. Tarbell was on the stand the entire
day and was questioned as to the system
OF agencies and the commissions and 9TH
or compensations allowed them for get
ting business.
Just before the recess the fact wa
brought out that Mr.. Tarbell had taken
out insurance on his life and on members
OF his family and had received the agents
commission on the premiums as well as
renewal commissions. He said that since
he became an officer he had taken out
100000 on his own life in the Equitable.
Besides his policies in the Equitable he
had taken insurance in the New York
Life, the arrangement being made with
George w. Perkins, and on this, too, he
had received the commission on the pre-
miums. He had also a policy in the Act
ma and in the Travellers, on which he col
lected the commissions. He said he car
ried 100000 on his own life and $780,
600 on members of his family.
Mr.. Tarbell was emphatic in denounc-
ing the system of rebating by agents and
stated that any agent of the Equitable
who rebates to get business was dis
missed.
When he told of getting the commits
sions, Assemblyman Cox asked if that
was not rebating, and Mr.. Tarbell said
it was not and that he thought he was
entitled to it.
Later when Mr.. Hughes took up this
same subject the witness justified the
taking of commissions as being similar
to a merchant who purchased goods of Il
fellow merchant in the same line perhaps
to fill an order and got those goods at
cost, or of a professional man treating
another and charging less than the regu-
lar fees. Mr.. Tarbell further said that
il he had lone wrong he was sorry. but
that he had acted in good Faith.

BALFOUR TO RESIGN
EARLY RESIGNATION NOW CON.
SiDERED CERTAIN.
it is Expected that Liberal Ministry
VIII be Formed and an Appeal TO
the Country viii Follow Early In
the New Year.

Tremendous activity developed in polit.
ical circles in London Thursday conse-
quent on the circulation OF a well founded
report that Premier Balfour had decided
To bring his ministry to a close and to di.
rectly or indirectly appeal to the country.
Rumors regarding the resignation of the
cabinet and the dissolution Of parliament
have been thick for three months past,
but when two of the leading government
organs Thursday, almost in he same
terms, suggested the immediate resigna-
ton Of the premier on account of the UNI
mendable breach in the u~nionist party
over the fiscal question, the suggestion
was looked upon as having been instigat
ed by MI. Balfour himself.
This was strengthened by the knowl.
cage that prior to the publication OF the
editorials Mr.. Balfour met certain infu-
entail persons at his official residence in
Downing Street. These two facts when
coupled led to the belief that the pre-
mier had intimated at the conference his
intention TO resign, and as he had just re-
turned from n visit to King Edward az
Windsor castle IL was believed that his
majesty had been Informed OF Mr.. Bal
tours intentions.
Beyond this there is not the slightest
official confirmation Of the report, All
political interest now centers in the next
cabinet meeting, at which it is under
stood the situation will be discussed.
Should Mr.. Balfour resign, the liberals
will be invited TO form q government,
parliament will meet for a few days SEES
sion, and a general election will occur
early in the new year. The political sit
nation was SO radically altered during the
last week that even the government sup
porters no longer argue that Mr.. BaIfour
has a sufficiently united party at his back
to again meet parliament with the object
of initiating any legislation to the public
advantage.
On the stock exchange a definite an
nouncement of the resignation of the
cabinet is expected at any time, and the
whole market Thursday was fiat in con-
sequence.
The liberals are inclined to resent Mr..
Ralfour's resignation at the present mo-
ment. They contend that the premier
should remain in office a few weeks long.
err and himself dissolve parliament and
appeal to the country. The liberals see
no reason why the present opposition
should put themselves to the inconven-
fence of forming a government in the
dark.

VESSEL DISAPPEARS
An Unknown Steiner Sinks with
All On Beard.

All On b0aru.
A Halifax, n. S., dispatch announces
that the violent stom which swept the
coast of Nova Scoth the latter part of
last week apparently has claimed another
victim. A two-mastsd steamer is thought
to have gone down Thursday afternoon
off Beaver Harbor, off the coast of the
province, ffty-fve niles off Halifax. Her
identity has not been established and SO
far as can be ascertained not one Of her
crew survived.
News of the disaster, which is II Of
the strangest in shipping records, was
brought to Halifax Tuesday night by the
steamer Kilkeet, commanded by Capt.
Allan, for Port Hastings, G. b., with a
cargo of coal. The Kilkeet on Thursday
morning ran into gale. Heading into
Beaver Harbor at 10 o'clock Capt. Allan
observed behind him another steamer
with two masts and heavily laden APP
preaching. The gale was then blowing
at a terrific rate and the sea was break
ing heavily on the numerous shoals
which stud the coast.
Nhen the hIlkeet reached the maven
the unknown steamer passed west Of
Horse island, near the harbor entrance,
which hid her hull. Suddenly a great
cloud of smoke or steam shot upward and
when it cleared away the masts of the in
coming steamer had vanished. The Off
GERS on the Kilkeet who had been watch
ing the approaching steamer declare they
are positive she went to the bottom, and
they say they are sure that III boat could
live in the sea which prevailed.
They believe that she ran too far west
and struck a rock, and that when she
foundered her boilers exploded. Nothing
could be ascertained to establish her
identity. 1t is improbable that any Of her
crew escaped.
