The Insurance Lobby.

While taking no part in politics fo, the sake of politics, Mir. Hyde had al ways cultivated the acquaintance o1 political leaders and of men prominent in all walks of life. He had invested some of the Equitable assets in secur. ities of the New York Central Rail road Company, which Commodore Vanderbilt was then forming into a system by development and extension. He knew that a young man named Chauncey M. Depew was looking after Commodore Vanderbilt's matters in Albany, and doing the work cheaply and successfully.
 MT. Hyde then prepared an amend ment to the insurance law, changing the requirements that dividend be paid every five years so as to make them payable ''from time to time. |" Here came in the evil of deferred pay ments. This change in the law was made in 1868, with little trouble or ex- pense. Young Depew looked after it, and Commodore Vanderbilt's friends in the legislature voted for it. In or der to evade-or to escape-the re- quirements of the Equitable charter these words were inserted in the law: Notwithstanding anything in the charter of such corporation to the con- trary."
 That also was the beginning of the insurance Lobby. Neither the State Superintendent of Insurance nor any one in politics at that time realized the value and the significance of this change in the New York City charter, for which Tweed paid as high as 1OO,- O0O$ a vote-worth more than Erie road legislation, for which Jay Gould paid as high as 40,OO0$ per vote. It is doubtful if Mr. Hyde paid anything for this important amendment-cer- tainly at the time nothing worth speaking of. But young Depew lived many years.
 From that date to this-now almost forty years-the great life insurance companies have practically controlled the insurance law of New York. What ever amendments they have desired have been made, and no changes have been made to which they did not as- sent. They have maintained lobby, not with the same vulgarity as the liquor-dealers' association, or the race track proprietors, or the seekers of speculative franchises; but they have always had friendly financial relations with both the republican and the dem- Ocratic state committees, with the prominent members of the legislature of both parties, and with men of in- fluence in state affairs regardless of politics.--World's Work.

New York, June 7-Resolutions sug-
costing radical reforms in the man.
agement of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society were adopted at todays
meeting of the directors. These affect
al 1.-The high officials and presage a
sweeping curtailment of the Society )
general expenses. The resolutions also
imply many important changes in the
financial policy of the society.
Today's session was attended by rs
of the remaining 3S directors.
From all accounts there was COM
plete harmony of action between the
Alexander and Hyde forces, all the
resolutions being unanimously adopt
ed. 1t was again denied, however, that
any coalition" of these forces had
been effected.
Two demands were made at the
meeting that Jas. w. Alexander and
Jas. II. Hyde resign the positions OF
President and Vice-president respec-
lively. One demand came from Bray
ton Ives, who says reorganization was
impossible so long as these men re-
tanned their places.
Joseph II. Low, who afterWard re-
signed from the board offered reso-
luton asking Messrs. Alexander ana
HYDE to resign. Chas. Stewart Smith
seconded the motion which was lost
because Chauncey NJ. Depew, who was
i'm the chair, ruled that Mr.. Lows res
olution was out of order and thus pre-
vented any vote being taken.

THEFT OF $4,000
Accountant of Smithson :
ian Confessed the
Crime.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., June 7.-Wm.
w Karr, the accountant of the Smith
sonian Institution and disbursing agent
for the government bureaus under 1T,
was arrested here today on the charge
of embezlement, which, according TO
his own confession, aggregates $46,OOo.
His stealingS, he confessed, have been
going on for the past fifteen years.
Kari is fifty years old, came from
Memphis to Washington and has ident-
ified with the Smithsonian Institution
since 1880. The warrant on which ne
was arrested was sworn out by DIR. >.
p. Langley, the secretary of the ,insti-
tuition. Kari is in custody at the First
Precinct station and it is said that eff
forts will be made to secure his release
on bond. He has wife and four
children.
Karr's (correcD salary was $4,000
a year. 1t is said that his accounts at
the treasury on June goth last cred
tied him with a balance of 47,S72.
when as q matter of fact he had but
S1.872 on hand, which would account
for the discrepancy of $4,000 which
he is accused of embezZling. Karr had
been away from his office considerably
duringthe past three months and
when he left last week has asked for
an indefinite leave of absence.

she could easily find them out with

Large Loss of Property.
nv the Associated Press. )


Grand Rapids, Mich, June THE
flood situation in Grand Rapids is
hourly becoming more serious tonight
and Grand river is rising at the rate
of C inches an hour. Up to this time
the west side of the city has been the
principal sufferer but now the water
is backing from the river into the
easements of many of the business
houses on Canal street on the east
side. Great damage TO merchants
through flooding easements is expect
ed before the water recedes.
A large number of factories on the
west side are closed on account of high
water interfering with machinery and
over 5000 men are temporarily out
of employment.
The property loss can not be esti-
mated at this time, but it will be large.
The reports from the weather bu-
reau show that the river may be ex-
pected to receive a reinforcement OF
no less than three more feet of flood
waters, With the water already about
three feet above the danger line. Al
North Park many houses are COM
pletely surrounded by water. 1t covers
the Michigan Soldiers Home property
though no great damage there has yet
been caused.
The Gsand Trunk tracks are still
above water. although the flood is
nearing them.
The Grand Rapids and India I'ere
Marquette and Grand Trunk lines east
ana west of the city are still unable to
resume train services owing TO the
many washouts.
More serious Developments are eX-
pecteG during the night and early to-
morrow morning from the flood. as the
cres will not have been reached until
some time Thursday.

Takahira Calls ON Roosevelt.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, ID. c., June 7.-Diplo-
matte Washington was tonight aroused
to q point of expectancy unequalled
since the inception of the war in the
Far East by the news from st. Peters,
burg of the Cars wish to know
Japan's peace terms. This interest
was heightened by call which Mr..
Takahira. the Japanese Minister, made
at the White House by appointment
during the evening. He called shortly
after O'Clock and Immediately went
into conference with the President.
They remained together about twenty
minutes. When the Minister left he
declined to answer questions about his
call. The Associated Press bulletin
announcing the cabling of a message
to the Russian ambassadors at Wash
ingtoE and Paris that Russia wished
to know Japan's peace terms was inn
mediately communicated to the diplo-
mats most interested.
1t was not long before the Russian
embassy was besieged with callers but
the ambassador was without advices
on the subject.
The President had confided to an
who called at the White
House that he expected Ambassador
Never to be received at TsarkoeSelo
today or tomorrow. The Instructions
to Mr.. Meyer did not provide for a
formal tender of good offices. While
it is impossible to give their text they
may be correctly paraphrased in these
words:
Find out from the Car what we
car do to assist an early peace"
Much was left to the tact and diplo-
matte discretion of Mr.. Meyer as TO
the manner and words in which the
friendly readiness of this government
in the present moment should be made
known to the Car. Care was also
taken that Mr. Meyers conference
with the Car should not occur until
Count Cassini's report had reached
Tsarkoe- Selo. 1t can be stated very
emphatically that in transmitting a
faithful report of what occurred at
the White House last Friday afternoon
Count Cassini emphasized the SYM
pathetic and friendly fraEkness with
which the President, speaking inform
ally and personally expressed his
strong desire for peace.
