School Of Colonial instruction.

New HaYen.-Yale university has
announced the establishment of COM
mercial museum. This museum has
been made possible by the perpetual
loan to the college Of two carloads of
collections recently exhibited at the
Portland exposition by the United
States department of agriculture. This
is the first museum of this kind to be
established in this country.
The exhibits will he used in con-
nection with courses in anthropology
and physical and commercial geog-
raphy which will form the basis TOR a
school of colonial instruction planned
to fit men for government work in the
colonies. The exhibit contains prac-
tically every plant that grows in the
United States, Hawaii, Porto Rico and
Alaska, also all the grains that grow
in Canada, and the fruits of Alaska,
Hawaii and Porto Rico. The exhibit
will be used to teach the conditions
of life as affected by the products Of
the soil. A large number of Yale grad
yates have assisted the university in
obtaining the exhibits from the gov
ernment, conspicuous among them
Clifford Pinchot '89, the chief forester
of the government.

Joyful Surprise in a letter.

Haverhill, Mass. Mrs Henry f.
Warner has just received joyful sur.
prise, when on opening a letter ad.
dressed in a somewhat familiar hand
writing, she found 1t to be from her
brother, Capt, William Perkins of Bar
Harbor Me, who for the past twelve
years she and the rest Of her family
had mourned as victim of the sea.
Twelve years ago he left Boston on
a cruise, and from that time to this
Mrs. Warner nor any of her family
had heard from him. His ship was re-
ported wrecked, and II was believed
that Perkins was among others OF the
crew who were lost, his name being
published as among the missing, while
inquiry among sailors brought the
same information.
Some time later 1t was reported
that he was still alive. but no direct
information was secured, The letter
said that he was In Bar Harbor and
that he had continued to follow the
sea, now having Il captains certificate
and being In command of a steamer
plying between Eastport and Portland
in the summer.
He was in the wreck as reported,
but was picked up, returning to this
country after some years of cruising
about the world, failed to locate the
rest of his family and settled down
in Maine, where he had married and
prospered. During his absence his
father and mother and one sister have
died.

Canadians Control Garrison.

Halifax, N. S.-Practically the en-
tire control of the Halifax garrison
has now passed over to the Canadian
government, and Canadian troops are
already in possession.
One feature, however, in connection
with the garrison, still remains in the
possession of the imperial office, and
that is the submarine defence.
1t is not generally known that the
harbor is literally undermined with
heavy torpedos extending to some dis
tance round about the entrance. This
entire arrangement is controlled by a
single button located at the citadel.
The movement of a switch and the
pressing of a series of buttons will set
off any torpedo desired, and the whole
harbor may be blown up" If neces-
sary.
The electrical mechanism at the cita-
del is connected with the torpedoes by
three cables running underground TO
the shore at Point Pleasant park.
These submarine works are not in
cluded in the portion of the defences
which have been assumed by the Can
adian government.

Berlin-Gold has begun to arrive
in large quantities at the Imperial
bank of Germany from St. Peters
burg.
About $375O,0O0 arrived Dec. 49,,
while the amount included in the last
bank return is understood to be about
$7,000,000 The movement is expect
ed to continue until total of $25,O00,-

The best authorities says that the
gold is intended to redeem the issue
of Russian treasury notes sold in Ger
many, France and Austria in May and
June through the Mendelssohn bank
of Berlin. as the notes will II lture in
February and March.
Rumors to the effect that the Rus
sian treasury will be unable to pay
the january coupons of the foreign
debt have been set at rest by the an
nouncement that it is in readiness to
pay imediately and that, indeed, the
payment has been going on since last
week.

Refugees Between Two Fires.

Berlin-Dispatches received here
say that in the attack on Tukum,
Courland, by peasants, 600 of the in
habitants were killed by troops, while
400 others were massacred by the
peasants.
The town was defended by only 40
dragons and three officers. The rev.
olutionists killed 35 of the defenders
and wounded the rest. A strong force
of troops sent to retake the town be-
gan bombarding the place.
The citizens fed from the town as
soon as night fell. The soldiers mis-
took the crowds for revolutionists and
fired into the throng of panic strick-
en- refugees, killing 600. including
men, women and children. The revo-
lutionists within the town massacred
400 others.

Ienatieff in Reserve.

st. Petersburg.-A report that Count
Witte has resigned is in circulation,
but it is false. 1t may, however, be-
come true at any moment, as Gen.
Count Alexis Ignatieff is being held
in reserve.
A close friend of the premier says
that Count Witte had no faith in the
policy of Minister of the Interior Dur
novo, and only consented to 1t on the
condition that it would be confined to
legal means. The same informant
says that an official communication de-
claring resort to legal measures to
be the policy of the government will
be issued soon.
1t is the opinion of many liberals,
as well as revolutionarias, that with
the first discharge Of cannon, Count
Witte will CO." They say it matters
little whether the premier is or is not
in sympathy with the policy of reac-
ton, and that he cannot shirk respon-
sibility for It,
News from the interior is very Sc
rious. The revolt in the Baltic has
spread southwark to the province of
Kovno, on the border of Poland,
which belonged to the old kingdom of
Lithuania. The rebellion in Kursk is
beyond control, and the government
has information that big uprising is
in course of preparation in the Ural
| regions.
An officer who has just returned
from Manchuria says that spirit of
mutiny prevailed among large por-
ton of the army, and that the prison
ers from Japan had been saturated
with revolutionary ideas by agitators
during their captivity and were ripe
for open rebellion.
Reports from southern Livonia say
that the whole country is in a state of
open rebellion and that the properties
of country gentlemen are in ruins.

st. Petersburg-Reports received
here from Moscow indicate that the
strike was successfully begun and is
spreading rapidly.
Even the electric light plants are
closed
Gov. Gen. Dubassoff has declared the
city to be in partial state of siege,
which gives the civil authorities ex-
ceptional power of arrest, etc.
The next move will be to declare a
state of siege, in which the military
supercedes civil power 1t is expect
ed that the beginning of the strike
here will be followed by a similar
measure, but if the situation becomes
worse, as anticipated, martial law will
be declared.
The provincial authorities have al
ready been empowered, in anticipa-
ton of the contingency of their being
cut off from the capital, to act on their
own responsibility, even to the extent
Of the proclamation of martial law.
The railroad stations at st. Peters
burg were occupied by troops and the
government made an attempt, with
the aid of the railroad battallons, to
maintain some sort Of train service,
especially to the German frontier, and
also to keep open cable communica-
tion with points abroad.
Prof. Milukoff. leader of the consti-
tutional democrats, has issued last,
despairing appeal to the proletariat
organizations against a general strike,
declaring his belief that it could not
succeed and inevitably would lead to
repression and perhaps to great blood
shed, which might be fatal to the
whole emancipation movement.
His moderate counsel, however,
was not needed by the hot-headed rev.
olutionists, who are determined to try
conclusions with the government, un-
der the conviction that they can over
throw the monarchy. The strike prom
ises to be on a far more extensive
scale than any previous movement of
the kind. 1t was ascertained that
many of the largest works, including
the Putiloff and Nobel concerns, will
cease operations Immediately.
Almost all the papers suspended by
the censorship are appearing under
new names and are meeting with huge
sales.
1t is stated that the insurgents
have seized the state treasury at Tu-
KUN. province Of Courland.
The railway union at Moscow has
resolved to run troop trains from Man
churia and to convey grain to the fa-
mine stricken districts.

AMERICAN METHODS.
Insurance Business In This Country
characterized as wild"

New York.-The Washington life in
surance company, the Germania Life
and the Bankers Life divided the at
tention of the legislative insurance in
vestigating committee Wednesday.
John Tatlock, president OF the Wash
lngton Life. finished his testimony
which was begun the day before. Mr.
Tatlock declared that personally he
favored a distribution of earnings
every five years. The witness said
Thomas +, Ryan never sold the Wash
ington Life any securities and that he
never suggested to the finance board
what securities to buy. Mr.. Tatlock
said he thought insurance companies
should be run by men in touch with
Wall street, because OF their knowledge
OF the security market He also fav-
ored the idea Of insurance companies
specializing in securities.
Cornelius Doremus, president OF the
Germania Life, testified that about
one-third Of his company's business
was done in Europe, principally in
Germany, and that this business in
many respects was better than any
done in America. He declared 1t to be
more stable, there being fewer lapses,
while the cost was a great deal less
than in America. The medical direc-
ton was also better in Germany, he
said. He characterized the American
ways of doing business as wild"
The only contributions of legisla-
tive character by this company were
the defeat of the mortgage tax law,
and $3.50 to further the passage of the
lien bill in Albany in 1904. No cam
paign contributions have ever beeen
made. This company, like the Home
Life, keeps an individual account of
every policyholder so that the earnings
may be learned at a glance on the
books The salary Of the president Is
$4,000.
When the Bankers Life was taken
up, Richard Morgan, a director and
eX-president of the company, was
called. He detailed the formation of the
company and its changes from fra
ternal order to an assessment order
and then into an old line company.
This is the company, Of which Presl-
dent H. P. Townsley, of the Life AS
sociation of America, formerly was
general manager. Mr.. Morgan said
that Mr. Townsley was dismissed from
the company in 1897.
E. L. Baylies, who collected the
fund to defeat the mortgage tax law
said on the stand that he secured
fund of $4,000 for this purpose.
