GRABBED BY GOULD
Ramsey Can Make no Showing in the
 Wabash Election.

Toledo, Oct. 1O.-No directors were chosen at the annual meeting of the Wabash today. The sessions, with the exception of two brief recesses. lasted from a.. m. until 11:15 D. m. almost the entire time being taken up by the examination of proxies. Although no figures had been given out by the in spectOrs of election it is believed that the vote to be taken the first thing tomorrow morning will show that MT. Gould has behind him about $22 ,00O. 900 of the bonds and that MT. Ramsey has in the neighborhood of S2.OO0. 900.
 This makes it certain that the six men named by the Gould faction as direc- tors representing the bond holders will be elected. These men are Russell Sage, Winslow s. Pierce, R. c. CIowry. E. T. Welles, w. B. Saunders and F.. M. Galloway.
 MT. Ramsey has not shown suffi- cient strength to enable him to hold his seat as director, and it is gener- ally believed that he is weaker in stock proxies than he is in bonds.

 garian Parliament.

Budapest, Hungary, Oct. 1O.-Parlia- ment was prOrogued today by a royal rescript until December, 1905. Acting Premier Baron Ferjvary and his col leagues did not attend the brief sit ting of the parliament. The baron merely sent the president of the lower house the rescript signed by the King Emperor Francis Joseph prOrOguing parliament and explaining that the step was necessitated by the fact that no success had been attained in forming a new cabinet on a basis, which would secure the parliament against disorder
 Shouts of "scoundrels'' and similar epithets mingled with queries of where's the constitution,' greeted the reading of the rescript, but there were no cabinet ministers present to take note of the insults hurled at them.
 Count Julius Andrassy rose and de- nounced the ministers who contrary to precedent failed to appear before par liament. "The government" he said, has thereby shown a contempt of the house and has abandoned all pretense of conforming with the laws"

SORDID WEALTH.
Not the Aim of Great Life
 Insurance Companies
PURELY PHILANTHROPlC
Policy Hold srS, in Fir. ncCurdy's View, Should be Satisfied With the Spread of Their BeneficenCe Over the Earth.

New York, Oct. 1O.-The sessions of
 the insurance Investigating committee were terminated for the week at the adjournment today, because of the death of S. Fred Nixon, speaker of the assembly of the legislature oE New | York, at his home in Westfield
 The testimony today did not elicit any information of a sensational na-
 ture beyond what had been discounted in the testimony of previous witnesses.
 The feature was the presence as wit nesses of the executive officers of the Mutual Life Insurance company. These were President Richard A. Me i Curdy and Vice. Presidents Granniss and Gillett.
 While it had been hinted last week that some expenditures charged to Ie- gal expenses might have been contri- buttons to campaign committees, it was announced definitely by Mr. GiI- lett that the Mutual Life contributed $40,O00 to the republican national com mittee last fall, that in 1900 $35, ,0OO was contributed, and in 1896 $1O,OOO was given for campaign purposes. MT. Gillett testified that he paid these amounts personally in cash, and later in the day Mr. McCurdy said that while he knew campaign contributions had been made, he did not know the amounts. He said that no cOntribu- tiOns had been made to the campaign committees before 1896, and that no contribution to the state or municipal campaign had ever been made in this or in any other state.
 President Granniss knew little about the contributions to campaign funds. but justified them on the same ground as President Mccall, of the New York Life, that the free silver plank in the democratic platform was a menace to the interests Of the pOlicyhOlders.
 President McCuTdy was on the stand all the afternoon session. Toward the close of the session Mir. McCurdy mace Q startling statement that an insur- ance company was not an institution formed to make money for the policy holders, but was, or should be, a great philanthropic enterprise founded to increase the spread of it's benefits over the entire earth.
 There has been a great mistake made" he said, about the real prov ince of life insurance companies in these later years. People have been led to believe that the main purpose was to make money for it's policyhoIders. In my view that is not the purpose Of such companies. There are elee- mosynary When a man insures in a company he should take into consider ation the fact that he has entered a great philanthropic concern that is in duty bound to spread itself, even though this growth prevents him from realizing as much as he expected.'

TO CLEAN THE CANAL
Judge Steele Desires to Cooperate in Bettering Conditions.

c. J. Hall, the local representative of Judge Hiram R. Steele, receiver of the Arizona Water Co.,, yesterday received a reply from Judge Steele concerning the proposition made by the farmers under the Arizona canal for cleaning the ditch.
 The substance of Judge Steele's re ply was that he desired to do the best thing possible for the water users un- der the circumstances, and if the farm CTS proposition was in that line he would accept 1t. He preferred first, however, to have the report of the ca nal officials in regard to conditions.
 He said, therefore, to have the mat ter laid before Superintendent Me DermOtt, and if he thought the plan a desirable one, he would authorize MT. Hall to proceed in accordance therewith. MT. Hall said that he thought it altogether likely that some arrangement would be made satisfac- tory to all concerned for the cleaning of the ditch at once.
 Yesterday afternoon MT. Hall, J. P. Orme, and J. R. Norton drove up to the joint head on tour of inspection, merely to acquaint themselves with conditions.

Moscow, Oct. 1O.-The situation to- day was rendered more serious by the extension of the strike to a number of large furniture factories whose work men were called out by bands of strikers going from factory to factory and forcing a suspension of work.
 There was a collision between police and workmen who were trying to en- ter the Liebricht furniture factory. An officer and a policeman were shot at and wounded and the strikers forced an entrance into the factory and insist ed on the cessation of work. The pop ulation is apprehensive of further dis orders.

 The majority of the factories here. especially in the great industrial quar- ter of Zamoskvoretch, which is across the river from the city, joined in the strike of printers and bakers tonight. The movement threatens to become general, though it is opposed by a strong minority of the workmen.
