day with l, 9O2 passengers from Bremen.
Among the passengers on the steamer
and on the way to meet her husband was
Maria Auguste Kattnich, accompanied
by her little daughter, Maria, five years
of age. The mother, who was in poor
health, and thinking home in this
country would prolong her life, left Brem
en- on the steamer for the great country
where prospects for making a livelihood
were much better, than in the Fatherland.
When the steamer was in midocean the
tax on the delicate mother was so great
that she died, leaving the little girl help
less and heart-broken. The body was
not buried at sea, as is the custom, but
brought to Baltimore in coffin and on
its arrival turned over to the agents for
the steamship company. A dispatch was
sent Immediately by the officials TO the
husband. who resides in Chicago, I'LL. q,
apprising him of the death of his wife
and to come for the remains. A young
woman who was also passenger on the
steamer and whose destination is Chicago

Life Insurance.

The recent denouement in a large Life
Insurance Company has temporarily
shaken confidence in the vitality impor-
tant subject of life insurance, but if
looked at in business way. it should
have an opposite effect on the public
mind and should be hailed with delight
by policy holders who will see TO it that
more stringent laws be passed both by
the States and by the federal govern
ment, throwing around life insurance
companies additional safe guards aud
thereby causing general "house clean
ing" in all companies; stopping all
leaks such as superanmated and fancy
high priced fgureheads, eliminating all
unlawful money channels used now for
the benefit of trusts and stock gamblers,
compelling the companies to carry out
their contracts with policy holders, and
TO safely and legitimately conduct the
important business of life insurance.
This will be the effect of the present stir
that has been precipitated by the Equit-
able Co. TO its own betterment and to
that of life insurance generally. The
above might be said of fire insurance
companies. SENEX.

The Franco prussian Crisis.

Paris, June l7.-France is now work
ing toward the end of securing an un-
Outstanding with Germany in the Mo-
roccan question, with the view of avoid
ing what in many quarters looks like &
situation which threatens war. 1t is be-
lieved possible, however, if Rouyier is
10 arrange a modus vivendi under which
France and Germany may operate more
amicably for the present. This would
call for the postpOnement of the pro-
posed international conference and allow
France to save her face. Premier ROu-
vier is working for peaceful solution
OF the present problem. The German
press is the real centre OF the agitation,
though the Berlin papers make "Anglo-
phobia" the key note of all their COM
ments on the situation, because England
is supporting France in her stand. Sew
eral of the papers are advocating the
strengthening of the German navy, say
ing it must be made strong enough to
defeat that of Great Britain. Herr Won
Gerlach, in the Neue Deutsche Runds-
chau, admits that at the present time
Germany has no basis for colonial
policy as her colonies have proved a
failure. Germany's population is stead
lily increasing and there must be an out
let for this increase. He says: "Ihe
Musselman world must become the
sphere of German interest. The Kaiser
has made an indellible impression on
the Eastern mind"

Attacks ON Fortress Monroe.

Fort Monroe, Va, June l7-Admiral
Dickins, commanding the "hostile'
fleet operating in these waters, seems
determined to blow Fort Monroe off the
face Of the map, before MONDAY, when
the maneuyers terminate. Since 10
o'clock last night two fierce attacks
have been made by the vessels OF his
feet upon the Notifications, and while
neither of them was successful, he con-
clusively demonstrated the fact that 1t
would be possible for an attacking fleet to
land marines and make flank move
ment against Fort Monroe, which is
wholly unprotected from the land side.
Just at dawn this morning the torpedo
boat destroyers Whipple, Worden, Stew
art and McDonough, followed by the
converted yachts Siren, Silvia, and Hor-
net, made an attack on Fort Monroe.
inst what Admiral Dickins hoped to
accomplish by sending these little ships
TO their certain destruction without the
aid of the larger vessels, cannot be as
certained now.
Fort Monroe, Va. June l7.-Neyer in
the history of Fort Monroe and tie other
forts guarding the entrance to Hampton
Roads has such a spectacular battle been
fought as took place here before noon,
the hour set for the termination of the
maneuyers. Rear Admiral Dickins' en-
tire hostile fleet with the big battle ship
Texas in the lead, and the other ships
followed in single column passed the
forts, and in Hampton Roads blazing
away with ali the guns in command.
So we'll had Admiral Dickins timed the
battle that when the smoke bomb was
sent into the heavens from Fort Monroe
at noon, announcing the end of the
exercises, the last ship of his fleet Of
fifteen had just passed the southeast bat
terry of Monroe, and fred it last salute at
the ramparts of the historic old fortress.

VIRGINIA BANKERS.

The commercial prosperity of the
South is the keynote of the Virginia
Bankers Convention, in session in
Richmond. "The South in the Saddle
was the subject of an address by Robert
+. Maddox, president of the Chamber
of Commerce of Atlanta, yesterday. His
speech created enthusiasm, and when,
incidentally, he made the following ref
erence to President Roosevelt, the con-
yention responded with storm of ap-
plause:
ave have much hope in President
Theodore Roosevelt, that matchless man
whose integrity cannot be questioned,
whose courage has never faltered, whose
fairness TO our section is promised, and
| believe that before his term of office
has expired he will have proven himself
friend to the South, and the whole
country will unite in singing his praises,
and history will record that his admins
tration gave 10 every American citizen "a
square deal.
"He has already inaugurated his vigor-
nus policy against the trusts, and has
announced his intention of compelling
The great railroads Of this country to
make just and equitable freight rates,
which are so badly needed, especially in
the South. While our people should
join in securing every reasonable i'm
munity from oppressive taxation or un-
just regulation OF our great transporta
ton companies, we should insist that
they, with reasonable rates, retain for
American labor its rightful heritage-the
markets of the world and the supremacy
of the earth"
A special committee was appointed to
consider an invitation to meet next year
at the Hot Springs, and to communicate
with the bankers of Maryland and West
Virginia with a view of tristate coz
vention.
Secretary of the Treasury Leslie NJ.
Shaw addressed the convention last
night. He devoted himself mainly to
the needs of the foreign trade of the
United States, saying: "If We expect
to increase our exports of manufactured
products we must learn to conform to
the requirements of the foreign trade"

Russia,s Internal Crisis.

Advices from st. Petersburg say that
the internal crisis had suddenly as
sumed an even more formidable crisis
than in January. A panic characterized
the closing Of the BOurse yesterday.
Government lottery bonds, which reach
ed 415 roubles at the beginning of the
week on the prospects of peace, were
quoted at 997 yesterday. All other
securities were weak.
Reports that General Linevitch had
been Outaanked and that the efforts in
the direction of peace are not progressing
are overshadOwed by a great domestic
industrial upheayal.
1t is remark d that the January strike
followed the fall of Port Arthur at an
interval that was since equal to the time
that has elapsed about the battle in the
japanese sea.
There was another strike yesterday al
