of Lawyers Retained by MccIeI-
Ian.

New York, Nov 13.-At a meeting
held tonight at the office of former
Judge Alton B. Parker there were
present 12 attorneys, all of whom have
been retained to represent Mayor Nc
Clellan tomorrow, when the board of
county canvassers will meet, it was
decided to rely entirely on the exist
ing election decisions and the law, as
it is recorded in the statutes.
Mr.. Parker pointed out that there
was only one question involved, and
it was covered by the decision of the
court of appeals, which was written
by him. He said that it was danger
GUS practice to open ballot boxes, and
in his opinion was not within the pro,
vince of the law.

and Balance Due.
[By Associated Pressl

These were instructions from former
Comptroller Thomas D. Jordan Of the
Equitable Life to A. G. FIELDS relative
to the killing or assisting of the pass
age of every bill introduced into the
legislature that would affect or help
the interest of the insurance company
or any of its officers.
This line of examination will be fol-
lowed in the session tomorrow.
h Other witnesses today were John
r. Hegeman, president Of the Metro
politan Life, and Vice President Fisk,
who were interrogated along the line
Of agents salaries, legal expenses Of
the company, real estate holdings and
the methods of acquiring properties,
and the fact was brought out that the
fire insurance firm that places all the
risks on the properties of the Metro
politan is composed OF w. D. Edmister
aRd Silas B. Durper, the latter a di-
rector of the Metropolitan Life.
The low rate OF interest at which
Hegeman secured loans and the rea-
son of the rebates of this interest that
Hegeman received from the old firm
of Vermilye & Co. were testified to by
several members Of that firm, which
has since gone out of business. This
firm was the banker Of the Metropoli
tan Life. but since last March the
business has been taken over by Will
liam A. Reade & Co.
Mr.. Reade was witness today and
said that Mr.. Hegeman got these loans
at a rate below the market rate be-
cause Hegeman had been client for
number of years and because of the
volume of business he transacted with
the firm Of vermilye & Co.

This threatens to seriously interrupt
the naval construction programme.
Military forces are being concentrated
to preserve order at the ports.
The strikers claim that liberty of
speech is denied them, by the dis
missal of workmen who criticize the
naval administration.
The federation of government en-

ployes of the post and telegraph de-
partment, the mint, military arsenals
and tobacco and match and other
state industries to give their moral
support to the naval strikers.

Helsingfors, Nov. ia revolt
broke out yesterday in the garrison of
Sveaborg. Hundreds of the men as
sert that they have been retained with
the colors from two to three years be-
yond the legal period of service and
also complain of their conditions of

The mutineers refused to obey or
ders, expelled the civilians from the

barricades, threw beds, chairs and
kitchen apparatus out of the windows.
They then opened negotiations with
General Kaigardoff and Governor
Ylands who promised to remedy theiI
grievances and give them easier terms
of service.
There was no bloodshed.

St. Petersburg League Of Leagues
Condemns Proclamation of Martial
Law in PoIand-SoIdiers' Pay Rails
cd and Term of Service Reduced by
One Year-JeWish Massacre Still
Feared.
[By Associated Press1

St. Petersburg, Nov. 13.-The
League of Leagues has adopted reso-
lutions condemning the proclamation
of martial law in Poland as an illegal
measure directed against the Polish
emancipation movement.
The Ruskoyeslovo prints dispatch
from Warsaw describing a conversa-
tion which Governor General Scalon
had with deputation of prominent
Poles during which the governor gen
eral distinctly announced that he
would not allow the organization OF
a municipal militia. Moreover, he ad-
ded, he would neither remove the
troops from the city nor from the
streets, and he warned the deputation
that he was prepared to deal with the
situation, should the agitation be COM
municated to the masses.
PrinceIy Pay for Soldiers.
In addition to increasing the pay OF
the rank and file Of the army, the war
department has decided to reduce the
term OF service by one year. The
present pay of the infantry is IL cents
per month and the cavalry IA cents
per month.
The fears of the wholesale pillage
and murder OF the Jews and intelli-
gencia by the "Black Hundred" have
not entirely disappeared, although the
greatest precautions have been taken
against probable outbreaks.
Their Ideas of Citizenship.
Two students were beaten to death
near the Obvorny canal last night;
three house porters were murdered at
their doors, and many domestic ser.
wants left their work, announcing to
their mistresses that labor was no
longer necessary, as now everybody
| was on. an equality, having become
citizens and would receive govern
ment pensions.
An eminent diplomat, speaking OF
| the situation today, said:
"The difficulties which confront
Count Witte on every side are enor-
nous and would overawe a man OF
less dominant will and capacity. His
task is almost superhuman, but | do
not regard it as impossible"

New York, Nov. 13.-John A. Nc
Call, president Of the New York Life
Insurance company, was called before
the Armstrong committee Of insurance
investigation today and peremptorily
ordered by the committee to demand
the return from Europe to this coun-
try of Andrew Hamilton, the lawyer
who has had charge Of the legislative
matters of the company. Mccall was
further ordered to demand an ac-
counting from Hamilton of the moneys
expended by him and of the balances
which he owes the New York Life.
Mccall denied that 1t was the policy
of his company to have Hamilton re-
main abroad until after this iRvesti-
cation had been concluded and said
that on the contrary he would very
much like to have him return.
Mccall, replying to Mr.. Hughes,
counsel for the committee, said he had
called the attention of the board OF
trustees of the company to his testi-
mony before the committee relative to
Hamilton and gave Mr.. Hughes copy
of his statement, which said that II
Hamilton did not return to the New
York Life the sum of s235,00O by De
cember 81, he would himself pay it to
the company. Mccall said Hamilton
was either in Paris or Nauheim.
Another interesting line of examina-
tion was opened up just before the ad.
journment for the day, when John

able Life was called. He produced
letter books and memoranda, which

The city is full of rumors to the
effect that the imperial ukase was is
sued over Count Whites head at the
instigation Of the reactionaries, which
is equivalent to the counts retirement,
but it can be stated with positiveness
that the action was taken on the pre-
mier's advice. Count Witte favored
and impressed on his majesty the ad-
visibility of restoring Finland's con-
stitution and reversing the policy of
classification of the grand duchy. But
to surrender autonomy to Poland, af-
ter all the old grievances of the Poles
had been redressed, and they had
been placed upon an equality with
Russians, the count considered would
only be a prelude to an attempt to
set up the ancient kingdom as sep
crate entity and would involve ulti-
mately, either the dismemberment OF
the empire or the necessity for bloody
suppression such as marked the revo-
lutions Of 1881 and 1868. It was re-
garded wise, therefore, to take the bull
by the horns and let the Poles under
stand that separate government
would not be tolerated and that until
thev came to their senses further ef-
forts to place in operation the reform
manifesto would be suspended:

autocracy could likewise suspend 1t
