Royal Arcanum.

Definite form was given to the opposi-
ton to the new assessment rates adopted
by the Supreme Council of the Royal
Arcanum of the United States in Phiia-
delphia yesterday, when representatives
of numerous councils of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey met in the Continental
Hotel, in that city, aud mapped out a
vigorous campaign.
So great has been the Indignation
aroused by the raising Of the assessment
that the present fight will not cease,
even if the Supreme council resciDds
their action. 1t was declared Yesterday
that an Investigation will be demanded
in order that the membership might
learn the true reason for the raising of
the assessments. InsinuatioDs we're
made that the high-saIaried officials
of the order who advocated the increase
have not given a satisfactory explana-
ton OF their stand. The members seem
to believe that high finance has some
thing to do with the enormous increase.
maybe there is 'Mr. Hyde some
where" said one member.
The movement started ia Philadelphia
is in sympathy with similar action being
taken by councils in all parts of the
United States. The object of these
movements is TO have grand councils of
the various States demand special
meeting of the Supreme Council for the
purpose of having the old form of assess
ment again put in force.

noon during a fight between William
Einkenstern, Of Seneca, N. Y, who

wife, and Eva Finkelstone. Broadway
was greatly shaken by the fight.
The couple had been seated at table
and bad ordered meal. They seemed
to be on peaceful terms when they enter

voice was heard rising angrily. Almost
Immediately she threw plate of croquettes

She followed this up with other plates,
ending 10y throwing a light mantle she
had over his head and then beating him
with a champagne bottle. The man
beat retreat, but she caught him at the
door and threw the contents of bottle
OF catsup over him. When Finkenstern
finally got into the street his face and
clothing were dripping with the red
liquid. He ran into the arms of Police
man O. Flaherly.

Eva had broken away from some wait

and the blows came faster and faster.
O'Flaherty finally arrested the wo-

the west Thrtieth street station. She

Failure of Turbine Steamer.

Halifax, n. s., July 1S.-The effort
of the new Allan line turbine steamer
Virginian to make a new record for land
ing mails from England resulted in fail
ure on this trip. The vessel, which sail
ed from Neville on July 7, met much
fog and many icebergs while crossing the
Grand Banks. which caused her to pro-
coed at reduced speed. The Virginian
was 10 hours behind the schedule which
had been arranged. The cruiser Canada
met the Virginisn of the coast of Cape
Breton at 8 o'clock this morning and
after taking aboard her mails and pas
sengers proceeded for Sydney, Cape
Breton. The Yirginian continued on to
Montreal.

Charges Against Cossac KS.

LODI, Poland, July lS.-The suthori.
ties have made the discovery that during
the recent troubles here which resulted
in so much bloodshed, when troops and
Cossacks fred on the people, the Cos
sacks who were used to quell the dis
turbances, systematically plundered the
civilians. In many cases the Cossacks
vent 80 far as to murder their victims to
conceal their misdeeds. When reports
in regard to the ouIrages committed by
Cossacks were first made General Shirt
tlewortb, commandant of the LODI gar
rison, ordered a search to be made of the
quarters occupied by the COssacks. This
resulted in he discovery of a large guam
tity of jewelry, watches, and money, the
plumber of the COssacks. The authori.
ties have decided not to make any at
temp: to return this property to the real
owners, fearing that if the facts in regard
TO the wholesale robbery of the people
became known another riot will result.

the washing of lands is also serious. The
railroads throughout the State are having
much trouble in keeping the roadbeds in

Depew and the EouitabIe.

New York, July l3.-Chairman Paul
Morton of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society was asked today whether or not
Chauncey NJ. Depew has placed his
resignation, as director of the society
in his hand before sailing for Europe,
AMI had agreed to surrender his retainer
of $40, 600 which he has been receiving
from the Equitable. Mr.. Mortou was
asked TO either affirm or deny the report.
81 think Mr.. Depew is mistaken, "
WAS Chairman Morton's answer to this
question. "Before his departure for
Europe, he signifed TO me that if the
society wished to abolish his retainer
and desired to accept his resignation, it
would be agreeable to him. No formal
written resignation was rendered by him,
however"
Then you do not intend to ask Sena-
tor Depe~ to resign" Mr.. Morton re-
piled; 81 am not prepared to say that !"

respondent at Vienna saying that private
letters received in Vienna from St.
Petersburg say that the police have dis
covered a plot to blow up the castle of
IIinskcj, near Moscow, where the Car

pounds of dynamite were found in a Gel

THE KNIGHTS OF HONOR hayd dis
covered that, like the Royal Arcanum,
they have been selling insurance too
cheap, and marked up the price. Now,
suggests the Philadelphia Record, if the
old line companies will institute a few
reforms in the interest of their policy
holders they may be able to reduce their
charges for insurance, aud the rates of
the two classes of companies may get
pretty close together.

Disorder in Chamber of Deputies


Paris, July l3.-There was a scene OF
great disorder in the Chamber of Depu-
ties today during The discussion of the
bill granting amnesty to those condemned
by the high court in connection with the
revolutionary conspiracy of 1899. The
bill was passed by the Senate on Tues
day, and came before the Chamber to-
day.
10 the course of a speech on the bill,
Deputy Lasies made a violent attack
upon former Minister of War Andre.
NJ. Javres, socialist, and NJ. BrissOn, a
radical socialist, at once arose to make a
protest, saying that under the present
circumstances, amnesty should not be
voted to the political exiles.
The excitement occasiOned by these
speeches was greatly increased when NJ.
Berteaux, the Minister of War, an
uounced that he withdrew his signature
from tue amnesty project.
The Chamber was 10 an uproar
moment, and quiet was only restored by
President Doumer, who put on his h
and thus adjourned the sitting.
Premier Rouyier. who was not in the
Chamber when the outbreak came, was
hurriedly summoned but did not arrive
until after the session had been adj
journed. A meeting of the council oil
Ministers was called Immediately by the
Premier, presumably to discuss the mat
ter. In the lobbies it is reported that
Premier Rouyier, is determined to pro-
pose an amnesty bill on his own respon-
sibility. In view of the fact that so
much opposition has developed against
the amnesty bill, 1t is doubtful whether
such measure can pass.

THE LATEST phase of the Equitable
insurance scandal presents Senator De-
pew, of New York, in anything but a
favorable light. 1t is disclosed that an
Improvement company" which made
Senator Depew a present of 500, 900
in its shares for the use Of his valuable
name, at the same time borrowed $3.50,
600 from the Equitable, of which he is a
director. Senator Depew denies that he
helped to secure the loan, but acknow-
lodged that the managers came to him
first in regard to the matter, and that he
favored the loan in the directory of the
company. In view of the revelations
Just made the New York World says, at
is seemly to suggest that when the Sem
ate shall again convene Chauncey NJ.
Depew, of New York, and John F. Dry
den, of New Jersey, should pair with
Joseph r. Burton, OF Kansas, and John
II. Mitchell, of Oregon" Of the loan,
the Philadelphia Record well says;
It is no rash assumption that the
Equitable, loose as twas in lis finances,
would not have made this loan if the
company had not borne the name of
Depew, and if ne had not been at the
same time an Equitable director, The
loan to the Depew Improvement Com
paDy was not repaid, and all the Equitable
has to show for it is a mortgage on lands
not worth half the amount. When SEN
ator Depew received an annual salary Of
$50, 600 for hypothetical legal advice to
the Equitable it was quite natural that
he should vote TO raise the saalry of an
Equitable official to 500 600 a year.
Thus one good turn deserves another.
There is a loud demand on the part of
many policy holders OF the Equitable for
Senator Depew's resignation as one OF
its directors. All the facts in the case
demonstrate the reasOnableness of this
demand. The question is whether he
ought not also to resign his seat in the
United States Senate.

enforced and parents or guardians In
any way responsible for its infraction are
to be fined. Numbers of cities at times
have been forced to make similar laws or
to contemplate such measures for the
public good. 1t seems strange that many
parents fail to see the evil which is sure
10 result by turning their children loose
in the streets until late hour in the

evil influences which make their impress

their minds if they fail to acquire lessons

to these facts until a child by some
thoughtless act stands charged with some
grave ofense, and then attention is d.
rected to the truths suggested above. If
youngsters escape the more dirtful con-
sequences of associating with G der prof

ambition than to be members of scorner
gatherings, often. regardless of their per-
sonal appearance, with stinted intelli-
gence and a total inability to enter into
conversation calculated to interest or
edify any one. Such conditions apply to
Alexandra as well as to numerous other
places. There is not neighborhOod in

are loading themselves with responsible

is to come. 1t is hoped parents having
the welfare OF their little ones at heart
will act upon the hints given above, and
that it will be unnecessary to enact cur
few laws in Alexandra; also that the
police will see that certain class of men
are kept moving at nights and not allow
ed to attract younger people around them
at street corners and other places.
