New York, Got. 2.-With few excep-
tions the authorities Of the states in
the West, Middle West and South are
up in arms over the revelations Of the
life insurance Investigations, and it IL
not unlikely that before tho New York
Legislative committee has completed
its inquiry they will compel reorgan-
ization of the stats Of most of the big
oopmanies. A refusal to comply will,
it is understood, cause all states that
insist on such action to compel the
companies which refuse to pull stakes.
MoCalls' resignation and his restitu-
tion Of money diverted from proper
channels was demanded in q resolution
Of the convention Of insurance commits
sioners, which adjourned Friday in
New Hampshire. This resolution was
read by Commissioners Of Insurance w.
D. Vandsvers, Of Missouri, who was
appointed by Governor Folk. The res

that it was the sense of the convention

AN OLD CANNON BALL.


Excavation Reveals Supposed Relic
Of ''Batfic OF Seattle"
Seattle, Oct. 2.-While q gang Of
laborers were digging under Main
street, between Third and Fourth ave
nues south an old rusty cannon ball
was unearthed by one Of the workmen.
Prof. Meany, head of the history de-
partment of the state university, who
examined the shot is of tho opinion
that the ball was fired by tho United
States sloop-of- war Decatur during the
battle Of Seattle in 1866, when the en-
tire population would have been mas
sacred had it not been for tho warship.
About 500 feet west Of the place
where the shot was found, between
second and Third south, on Main,
stood the old Seattle stockade. On
the day OF the battle, after all the peo-
pie had gathered inside the walls Of
the stockade, the Indians gathered in
the edge Of the woods back Of the
building and were probably preparing
for an attack when the ball was
thrown over the heads Of the landing
marines and among the Indians.
The reaio has been given over in
charge Of Prof. Meany to be placed in
the university museum. It is q solid
shott weighing about 80 pounds.

English finanClerS Fear Graft In All
American Corporations.
Chicago, Oct. 2.-English financiers
have viewed with amazement the dis
closures affecting the business methods
Of American insurance corporations,
according to Ernest A. Hamill, presi-
dent Of the Corn Exchange National
Bank. Mr.. Hamill has just returned
to his desk after three months Euro
pean tour. He said:
''While' was in Europe three weeks
ago men of finance everywhere were
questioning the entire American finan-
cial situation. They seemed to suspect
that if the directors of the big insur-
ance companies could permit irregu-
larities such as were shown to exist in
the Equitable company, other finan-
cial institutions on this side Of the
water must be similarly conducted
Mr.. Hamill says the English finan-
oial situation is expected to improve
during the winter. The effects of the
Boer war are still felt heavily and the
recovery Of good conditions is slow.

Discovery Creates More interest at
Siika Than Gold FIND.
Sitka, Alaska, Oct. S2.-The dis
covery Of nine hot springs at Fish bay.
on the north side Of Baranof island,
has created moro real interest than the
remarkable geld find on Chichagof isl
and. The springs are thirty miles from
Sitka, only Eve miles of the regular
route Of all steamboats, and are Of such
size as to completely discount any Of
the other hot springs in this region.
The discovery was made by John
Clements, Frank Biles and W. r. Han.
Ion, who won fame few dsys previ-
ously in their race for the gold fields.
According to analysis the water
contains sulphur, soda, magnesia, and
salts.
The springs are located in an ideal
place. The bay is broad and deep,
with plenty Of water for the largest
steamboats, that ply in these waters.
Game of all kinds, largo and small.
feathered and furred, and fish abound.
The scenery is the most picturesque
imaginable.

OREGON IS PRACTICALLY.
WITHOUT CONGRESSMAN

Portland, Or, Oct.. 2.-The Wash.
ington correspondent Of tha Oregonian
Says:
Unless Representatives Williamson
and Hermann voluntarily resign their
seats, to which they were elected last
year, Oregon will probably 60 through
the Fifty-ninth congress with but q
single vote, that Of Senator Fulton. II
is positively known that Senator
Mitchell cannot resume his seat in the
senate, though he may nominally hold
his position and draw his salary up to
the time his sentence is enforced.
Williamson's recent conviction denies
him the privilege Of taking his seat,
though it does not legally create va.
canoy in the Second Oregon oongres.
sional district, and therefore does not
open the way for special election t.
fill that vacancy.
Until final decision is rendered BY
the corut Of last resort, Williamson
will be permitted to retain his creden.
tials and under no authority can a spe
cial election be held in the meantime
to choose another congressman from
the Second district. Should the final
decision Of the courts clear Williamson
he will be sworn in, but if the fina.
verdict sustains the verdict of tho low
or court he will be expected to -imme
diately tender his resignation. Failure
to do so would undou btedly result in 9
doo1o q xo ioy, ~ q yooonov hv <bo ho~,ao
The foregoing is the universal opin
ion of officials of the department. Of
justice who are in Washington.
What is true of Williamson will b<
true of Binger Hermann if he shall bt
convicted upon any one Of the indiot
ments resting against him. In the
meantime, until his case comes K
trial, he will be denied the privilege
Of taking the oath.
In tho opinion Of law officials there
is no way in which Oregon can have
representation in the house Of repre-
sentatives next session unless Hermann
and Williamson relinquish their Gre
dentials and allow the voters Of thu
two districts at a special election e
choose new representatives
The coming session ID one when Ore
gon can ill afford to be without repre-.
sentation in the house and have only
half representation in tho senate
Many issues vital to the state will be
raised, and, without men to care fol
the states interests Oregon must suffer,
It IL up to Williamson and Hermann
to say whether or not Oregon shall
have voice in the coming house.
