FEELING IN PARIS.
Sentiment Of Deep Anxiety Prevails in
Official Quarters.

PARIS, August pa sentiment of deep
anxiety prevails In official Quarters here
concerning the outcome of the Portsmouth
conference, owing to the receipts of dis
couraging advices. Private reports received
through official channels show that Grand
Duke Vladimir, uncle of the emperor Is
casting his powerful influence In favor of
peace, but that owing to his personal un-
popularity the war element appears to be
strongly in the ascendancy. The authori-
ties here are inclined to take the view that
the influence of Germany has something to
do with Russia's uncompromising attitude.
Mr. Mccormick, the American amba ssa-
dor, has returned from Carlsbad, but the
definite instructions are not to take any
active steps.
Spencer F. Eddy, secretary of the Ameri-
can embassy at st. Petersburg, arrived
here today from the Russian capital, and
had lengthy conference with Ambassador
MCCORMICK relative to the situation.
Premier Rouvier is still in Paris with his
vacation In suspension, mainly because of
the proposed military demonstration against
Morocco. While continuing to exert its
moral influence toward the success of the
negotiations at Portsmouth, the govern
ment has thus far refrained from formal
Intervention.
The bourse today was unsteady owing to
connecting reports from Portsmouth, but
RUSSIAN securities maintained their ground
bonds advancing slightly.

PEACE TERMS COMMENT
NO DISPOSITION IN BERLIN TO
PREDICT THE RESULT.

BERLIN August 25.-There is no dispo-
sition today in responsible quarters to pre-
dict the result Of the last efforts for peace,
but no one appears to be sanguine regard
ing the outcome The feeling on the
bourse was one of uncertainty, and ike
feeling prevailed in the government offices
here, which are better Informed as to the
attitude Of Russia than concerning that of
Japan.
The dominant feeling in the Russian
court, as reported officially here, is that
Russia Is in better position to go on with
the war since she has heard Japans terms
than she was before, because the dissemi-
nation of these terms in Russia Is having
the effect of bringing most educated per-
sons to the conviction that the war must be
fought out, as the conditions are lnsupport-
able and because the return to Russia OF
half million soldiers, ,discontented with their
treatment in the far east and with the vain
results of their endurance, would add to
the internal ferment, while the government
would not be able truthfully to answer the
accusation that it had made a dishonorable
peace.

ELECTED OFFICERS.
The Feature Of Final Session Of Law
Yers Today.

NARRAGANSETT PIER, r. l., August
25-The delegates to the annual meeting of
the American Bar Association held their
final sessions here today. The election of
officers for the coming year was the princi-
pal business scheduled.
The annual dinner will take place this
evening.
The special order for today was the con-
sideration OF the majority and minority re-
ports presented by the insurance law COM
mittee. The majority report, signed by
Ralph w. Breckenridge, Burton Smith, AL
fred Hemenway and r. w. Mercer, recon-
mended legislation by Congress providing
for the federal supervision of insurance: the
repeal of all valued policy laws; uniform
fire policy, the terms of which shall be spe-
cifcally defined; the repeal of all retaliatory
tax laws; stricter Incorporation laws in the
several states in so far as they affect the
Great tion of insurance companies, and a fed
eral statute prohibiting the of the
mails to all persons, associations corpor-
ations transacting the business of insurance
in disregard of states and federal regula-
tions The report says in part:
1.-The officials of the leading companies,
life, fire and accident. recognize the steady
growth of the sentiment in favor of ma
tional supervision, and they generally favor
ii If thereby the state departments to which
they must now make returns will be super
seeded. The leading state insurance COM
missioners are also in favor of federal SUI
pervision. According to tables compiled in
the bureau of corporations twenty-eight
states in the year 1902 received from insur-
ance companies, exclusive of taxes, over
So, 0O0, 600 more than they expended in the
supervision of those companies. The iniquity
of such condition is obvious. for it lays an
unnecessary burden upon all who seek to
provide for their families and to avert dis
aster from fire through insurance. 1t is es-
timaked that the expense of federal super
vision would not be over 10 per cent of what
state supervision now costs.
IA federal regulation requiring an ac-
counting of the uses made of the immense
sums accumulated through the prudence,
sacrifice and thrift of millions of policy
holders will prevent improvident and i'm
proper investments and eXtravagant man
agement."
The minority report, presented by W. R.
Vance, declares that no reason has been
shown why the business of insurance should
be regarded as interstate commerce There
fore, the report says. it is clear that the
beyond the powers of the federal govern
ment. 1t is the opinion of the minority that
federal supervision, If it were constitu-
tioI ally possible, would probably remedy
many of the existing evils, but that such
supervision is rot possible without con-
stttutional amendment. The report char
acferfzing existing methods of state regu-
latiOn as most defective" they are in
efficient in preventing wildcat companies
from engaging in the business and are need
Iessly expensive to the policy holders. who
in the last analysis bear the expenses Incl

THE SEIZED TOBACCO.
To Be Held Pending a Further Ex-
animation

It Is stated at the Treasury Department
today that the 10S bales of Cuban tobacco
seized In New York yesterday will be held
pending further examination by the de-
partment. This tobacco was brought to
the United States through Tampa, where
the duty was paid as filler tobacco, which
pays 35 cents a pound 1t was considered
curious that the tobacco should be shipped
to Tampa and then reshipped to New York
instead of being shipped to New York at
first, but this is not considered evidence of
fraud, although out of the ordinary. AS
sstant Secretary Reynolds said today that
he had not received full official report of
the seizure. but he was informed that about
half of the tobacco, which was admitted at
35 cents per pound as filler. should be
classed as wrapper tobacco at $1.S5 pound
less the 20 per cent reciprocity arrangement
with Cuba. The Dingley law provides that
II tobacco contains over 10 per cent of
wrapper grade, 1t must be classed as wrap
per tobacco; If below 10 per cent as filler
tobacco 1t Is often case of difference
of opinion as to what classification should
be given, and even customs officials them
selves differ. 1t would remain to be deter
mined. Mr.. Reynolds said. whether any
fraud had been committed against the gov
ernment or whether there would be ar
rests. 1t is not improbable. IL the tobacco
has been wrongfu}ly classified, some one at
Tampa may lose his position.

POSSIBLE CABINET CHANGES.
The Latest Slate Fixed Up by Current
Gossip.

0OSSlC.
Interesting gossip is going the rounds OF
official circles about possible cabinet
changes The latest talk fixes this slate:
For Secretary of the Treasury, George 8.
Cortelyou, to succeed Mr.. Shaw next Feb
ruary.
For Postmaster General Trueman H.
Newberry of Michigan, who. in the mean
time, is to take the post of assistant secre-
tary of the navy.
For Secretary of Commerce and Labor,
If Mr.. Metcaif decides to retire, John w.
Yerkes. now commissioner of internal rev.
enue.
1t is generally accepted by politicians and
officials that Mr.. Cortelyou will take the
treasury portfolio. Indeed, it has been the
tacit understanding for some months that
he would have it, He was moved by a
sentiment to take the head of the depart
ment in which he was once a clerk when he
was appointed Postmaster General, but the
treasury portfolio is more in the line of
business and political ambitions which a
man may rightly cherish.
Mr.. Newberry has been selected for the
assistant secretaryship of the navy and
will take his post this fall. Michigan peO-
pie have said all along shat Mr.. Newberry
was destined for cabinet portfolio. and 1t
is now said he may succeed Mr.. Cortelyou.
He is wealthy business man of wide eX-
perience and unusual executive ability
Mr.. Yerkes is regarded as cabinet timber.
Unless the President shifts his plans and
gives him either the treasury or postmaster
generalship he will be in line for the head
of the Department of Commerce and Labor
If a vacancy occurs there. Mr.. Metcalf
has denied that he Is going out but 1t is
believed by politicians that he does not
find the place to his tastes, and that it
may become more objectionable to him in
the future.
1t is pointed out that a Californian with
political ambitions for the future would
find the office untenable while the admin
istration was making plans for serious
modification of the Chinese exclusion law
enforceable by that department. So the
politicians continue 70 insist that Mr.. Met
calf is going out, even if it is not expedient
to admit it now.

JONES MAY RECOVER.
Charge of Murder Against Him
Closely Watched,


Special Dispatch to The Star
NORFOLK, Va, August 25-Capt. Edward
w. Jones of the list Virginia Volunteer Regi-
ment, who yesterday afternoon killed Maud
Cameron Robinson by almost severing the
head of the woman with a razor which he
afterward used in cutting his own throat,
is much better at st. Vincent's Hospital to-
day and will likely recover.
A charge of first-degree murder having
been preferred against him, a policeman is
being kept constantly at the door of his
room in the hospital. AS soon as his con-
dition will permit he will be moved to the
Jail hospital and then to the jail proper to
await trial for his life In October or No
vember.
1t developed today that Jones, ten days
ago, tried to kill the Robinson woman with
pistol, two women preventing the murder
at that time. Friends of Jones have en-
ployed Judge Thomas II. Wilcox as coun-
sci for the accused and Judge Wilcox
was in conference with Jones at the hos
pital for awhile today warning him against
making any statement to the public
The body of the Robinson woman who
came from Selma, n. c., and was highly
connected, was buried here today with a
simple service. 1t has been proven that in
sane jealousy was the only cause of the
crime.
