bill providing for the purchase at
cost of not over $4,000, 900 of buildings
for the United States missions at all

ment maintains embassies or ministers.

remove the necessary qualification Of

diplomatic Offices under the United
States" - "a vi" -" - +

added, 'tiat with the very small sal

pire to these offices; that no man OF
lawever great learning, experience or
ability, can represent this country
abroad unless he be man of great
wealth. No matter how much salaries
might be increased there would all
ways be an evidence of the wealth of
each particular incumbent according to-
the style of residence he occupied. liz,

before the legislative committee Of the
INSURANCE Investigation and testified
that the examinations of insurance com

ascertain only the solvency of the COM
pariies and that no Investigation is
made into the Extravaganza of the man
agenlent of a. company or into the COM
missions paid to agents, the system of
loaniIig on the premiums, the advancing
of loans to agents O. loans to directors.
The employment of kinspeople of of
hcers in, high position is not inquired
.into.s This has long been the custom
of the department, Mr.. Hendricks said,
and he declared further that he per-
ssonally knew little or nothing about the
various 4 examinations made, as they
were entrusted TO Isaac Vanderpool, the
schiea Examiner of the department.
I While Mr.. Hendricks memory fail
ed him as to any legislation which he
had suggested as of remedy to any de-
1SSloS ia '5tHG q laws SONGIliliS, uaSti dilCS

that he had ever presented had ever
been opposed in either house of, the

tion. 5s. # H
Mr. Hendricks said that his depart
rlient spent last year about $I37,o
and received in fees and payments
ss$a87,726, which was paid into the state
treasury. To make examinations that
would bring out such information as
has been gathered BY the Legislative

squire ten more examiners and an ad-
AAditional appropriation of from $4,000
