This left one-sixth. or So 1872 4s. as the share
Mr. Squire received, and materially changed the
face of the transaction far as he was COP
cerned-
Mr. Hughes then resumed the probing Of the
Mutual Reserve Life and vice-President FL
bridge of that company took the stand. He tes-
titled that the President received $700 a week.
including the yellow dog contingent fund Of
500 week Mr.. Hughes was curious to know
why the Presidents salary was raised to 500
from $500 when the contingent fund was abol-
ished Mr. Eldridge thought it was to obtain a
good administration.
You were getting q good administration as
it was?" Mr.. Hughes inquired.
'rYes and we wanted TO continue it." was
the reply.
Mr.. Hughes then read the list of officers and
salaries paid from 1881 to 1904 In 1881 the
president got 1.15O, the vice-president $135O
and the secretary $500, making total of 5000
for that year. In 1904 the president got 39OOO
the vice-president $4,000 and the total amount
paid for salaries in that year $116,46O.
why was your salary increased?" asked Mr.
Hughes.
More duties devolved on me by the doing
away Of the other ice-presidents.''
You have great deal Of work to dor
Il am told I am hard working man.
POLICYHOLDERs' COMPLAINTS.
The woes of the Mutual Reserve policyholder
and his walls thereat occupied Mr.. Hughes in
the last hour Of the session. A policyholder's
complaint based his experience with 5000
policy taken out in 1891 was first discussed
This poIicyholder received bond Of SS7 IA at
the end of the first quinQuennal period. This
was applied to the payment Of special and reg
uIar assessments. He received another bond
for S35 40 at the end of the second Qutnquen-
NAL period. This he still holds. At the END or
the third quinquennial period he was told that
there was lien against his policy or SI,oVO
and that he would be charged per cent until
it was satisfied. Vice-President Eldr1dge had
looked the up in the mean time and ADMIT
ted that the facts were practically as stated
due to special assessments.
Mr.. Hughes read policy issued in 1895 for
$4,000 There was no statement on the face
of the policy to indicate that special assess
Ynents might be charged. On the second page
however Mr.. EIdridge pointed out a provision
that the company might charge the regular
stated premium. or any multiple or ratlo
thereof as the executive committee might de-
termine."
This ambiguous section, which Mr.. Hughes
rang the changes for several moments, the Wit
ness conceded the only warning the policy
holder might have had of the right of the COM
pany to levy as many assessments as its oni-
ciaIs decided were necessary, and the only iimi-
fation on them was that they should in every
case he s.rnultiples ratios" OF the regular
assessment Mr.. Hughes suggested proportion
not ratio was really meant, and the witness
agreed to this Among those sitting with the
committee was prominent upstate man nan VINO
held a policy in this company for $1,000 and
he smiled sadly as the discussion Of assessments

Plan to Take Tenedos If Sultan
Continues Obdmrate.

Constantinople Nov. 2S.-Detachments from
the international fleet landed at Mttylene on
Sunday afternoon in accordance with the In
structions of Rear Admiral Ritter Won Jedina,
and occupied the customs and postal buildings.
The Governor protested, but his representations
were unavaiIing. While the Bairam festival,
beginning to-day and ending the evening Of
November 80, lasts the feet will take no furt
ther action. but If the Sultan does not utilize
the interval to accAde to the demands OF the
powers the fleet will occupy the island OF
Tenedos off the coast of Asia Minor
The Porte continues its efforts to obtain a
modification of the financial control scheme SO
as TO make 1t more acceptable to Turkish views.
The Grand Vizier, Ferid Pacha, the report OF
whose dismissal unfounded, has informed
M Zinovieff the Russian Ambassador, that the
scheme in it's present shape is too unpalatable.
The Grand Vizier offered to agree to the estab-
Iishnent Of four new civil agents with the same
functions as the existing agents Of Austria and
Russia but the Ambassador declared that no
possible.
Tewfk Pacha, the Foreign Minister, also tried
to enlist the sympathies of the German and
italian ambassadors, but his efforts were equally
futile The unanimity OF the powers including
Germany as to the necessity for compelling a
full acceptance of the demands appears to be
complete, and diplomatic circles are satisfied
that the Porte before long will realize that in
face of this unanimity there is nothing to be
done but to bow to the will of Europe.

TOO LONG TOW LINES.
Congress VIII Be asked to End
Nuisance IN This Hmbor.
[From The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington, Nov. 2S.-The chief of engineers
of the army plans to ask Congress at the next
session for new laws which will regulate the
use of tow lines in New-York Harbor. These
lines have been a source of great interference
with navigation. The question Is a serious one,
and has been the subject OF much correspond
ence between the supervisor of the harbor and
the chief of engineers. Complaints fire.
quently made of the delay and danger caused by
tow lines, which frequently half mile in
length. Commander H. H. Hosley, U. S. N. the
supervisor of the harbor, in his recent report,
said:
Tow lines of the length used and advocated
by some of our towing companies would never
be allowed in inland waters elsewhere, and in
the interest of speed and safety to the travelling
public they should not be allowed in these in
land waters Tow boats should be obliged to
shorten up at the lightships on coming from
the Sound and off Fort Washington when de-
scending the Hudson River At present with
no law governing this matter, lines of entirely
too great length used, and a result pasSen-
ger steamers of all classes. including ferryboats
and excursion steamers, carrying hundreds of
lives are delayed and endangered and buoys and
other aids to navigation being constantly
fouled and moved from their proper positions,
thus adding to the dangers arising from the use
of such long tow lines in these waters where
traffic is congested. Some solution Of the ques-
to the public at large sure to follow the
oupidity and lack of consideration for the gen
eral public that are shown by those engaged in
towing in these waters
