THE INSURANCE QUESTION.
In Conference at Sycamore Hill Presi-
dent Discusses Federal
Supervision.

Oyster Bay, N Y, Aug. 17.-Federal
supervision of insurance was the sub
ject of conference at Sycamore Hill
Wednesday, so important that one of
the participants, James M. Beck, for
merly an assistant attorney general of
the United States, and now special
counsel for the Mutual Life Insurance
company, of New York, missing the
regular train from Long Island City
to Oyster Bay, chartered a special
train in order to meet his engagement
with the president. The parties to the
conference were the president, Senator
Dryden, of New Jersey, president of
the Prudential Insurance company and
Mr.. Beck. The president for consider
able time, but especially since the dis
closures made during the last few
months regarding the operations of the
Equitable Life Assurance saciety, has
manifested a deep interest in the prob
lem of national control of the insurance
business.
While no announcement was made
of the conclusions of the conference, if
any were reached, there is ample au-
thority for the statement that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will discuss the ques-
ton of insurance in his forthcoming
message to the congress in the light of
developments in the last six months.
That he will recommend the enactment
of legislation providing for federal SUI
pervision of interstate insurance there
is no room for doubt.

to examinations which so many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the rea-
son why so many physicians fail to

This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confide every
detail of their illness, and from
her great knowledge, obtained from
years of experience in treating female
ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women
more wisely than the local physician.

ODD BURIAL CUSTOMS.

The custom of burying without cof-
fins was formerly very prevalent on
the continent. A sheet was the only
covering used
The feeling in favor of burying on
the south side of church is probably
a traditional one, dating back to the
time of sun worship.
The South American negroes have
queer way of decorating the graves of
their dead friends. 1t is the custom
down there to make border-around
the grave of the medicine bottles used
during the dead ones last illness
A very curious old custom is associ-
ated with intermenIs in the cemetery
of Labruck, Connemara, Ireland. A
box of pipes-short clays-is brought
with the coffin, and pipe with tobac-
co is served out to Zach mourner. The
pipes are smoked IN silence after the
earth has been filled in and a mound
of stones raised above the grass, the
ashes are solemnly knocked out on the
top and the pipes are lroken or left
behind.

GRANTS PEOPLES PRAYER
Gar of Russia Orders Formation of
National Assembly with I'm
portant Powers.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 12.-Russia' s
fruit of decades of stress and striving
for reform, which endows the Russian
people with the right of being consult
ed through their chosen representa-
tives in the suggestion, preparation
and repeal of legislation, to-day takes
it's place among the fundamental insti-
tutions of the empire. In a solemn
manifesto Emperor Nicholas announces
this morning to his subjects the frui-
ton of his plans summoning the rep
resentatives of the people, as outlined
by him in rescript issued on March
last, and fixes the date for the first
convocation as mid-January, and in a
ukase, addressed to the senate, form
ally orders that body to register as the
imperial will law project, formulat-
ing the nature, powers and procedure
of the new governmental organization.
The national assembly will be con-
sultative organization in connection
with the council of the empire and not
legislative body. The powers of the
emperor remain theoretically absolute.
AS the emperor is the supreme law
giver and autocrat, the decisions of
the Douma have only a recommends
tory and not binding force, though
the rejection of any legislative meas
ure by two-thirds' majority of both
houses is sufficient to prevent that
measure from becoming law. The rep
resentatives of the people will have
not only the right to be heard on any
legislation proposed by the govern
ment, but also can voice their desires
on new laws and will have the right
to exert a certain supervision over
budgetary expenditures. The suffrage,
though wide, is not universal 1t is
based on property qualification, the
peasantry having vote through mem
bership in communal organizations. A
considerable portion of the residents
of the cities, possessing no lands, to-
gether with women, soldiers, civil
functionaries, ETC., are without suf-
frage

THE VIRGINIA DISASTER.
Which Plunged Into River
Five Persons Missing.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 199.-The removal
cars which plunged into the open draw
at Elizabeth river Thursday afternoon
revealed but two bodies in the first car,
making the number of bodies recov-
cred 10, with five persons missing.
None of the injured now in the hos
pitfalls will die, but majority of them
will be sent to their homes in a day or
two. The bodies of the dead will be
forwarded to their homes to-day. A
careful examination of the bottom of
the river showed no more bodies, and
the railroad officials are convinced that
the death list is now complete, though
reports are still current of a much
heavier loss of life. All day long the
operations of the rescuing and wreck
ing crews continued. There were re-
ports that in the raising of one of the
submerged cars the end of the coach
was loosened and bodies were washed
back into the stream and floated away
with the tide. Later reports, however,
denied this story The small casualty
list in the first car, which was COM
pletely submerged. is explained by the
theory that when the emergency
brakes were applied many of the pas
sengers thought collision was immi-
nent and they rushed into the second
car, and all of them had time to es-
cape, except two, before the car finally
sank beneath the surface of the river.
The train was running at a rate Of
Is or 20 miles an hour as it approached
the bridge. The specific orders of the
road to stop all trains at the bridge,
whether the draw is open or not, were
apparently ignored. The train plunged
into the abyss. Both engineer and fire.
man discovered the open draw too
late to stop the train. The air brakes
were applied, but did not work prop
erly.

away safe, four of whom escaped by
running up on mass of rock at the
opposite side of the quarry. The re-
naming Is were huddled in a space
ten feet square, IL of whom were killed
