eoaraged by the latest reports IN regard
to the naval situation In the Far East,

The war party has seized upon this
dispatch as q nucleus around which TO
construct hopes OF The renewal OF the
campaign combining these three ships
with the A1nazs Rossia. Gronoboi, and
Begatyr and the several torpedo destroy
ers and submarines now at Vladivostok,
forming a considerable naval force in

mand IN the event OF negotiations for

Iowa Insurance Law Constitutional.

The Supreme Court of the United States
today reversed the decision of the circuit
court of the United States for the southern
district of Iowa IN the case of Beryl +.
Carroll, auditor of the state of Iowa against
the Greenwich Insurance Company of New
York and others. The case involved the
constitutionaIity Of the Iowa state law,
passed in 1896. which prohibits insurance
companies from entering into an agreement
to fix rates of insurance. or the amount OF
commission to be paid to agents. The bill
in the case was filed by the New York
company, and similar bills were filed also
by other foreign companies doing business
in the state. They ask that the auditor be
restrained from proceeding against them
under the terms of the law. The circuit
court granted this prayer, holding the law
to be unconstitutional. Today's opinion, de-
livered by Justice Holmes, sustained the
constitutionality of the Iowa law.
