New York, Feb. 2S.-The secrets Of

sioners of the five western states who

port of this investigation has been pub

It is the purpose Of the western in
surance commissioners to obtain the
cooperation Of the insurance depart
ment of this state. Thus only can they
get the officers and trustees of the
Mutual under oath. The chief object
of the proposed Investigation is to ex.
anime the trustees and officers on the
lines suggested by stuyvesant Fish in
the requisition for information which
President Peabody failed to furnish
The states which propose to make the
examination are Minnesota, Wisconsin
Nebraska, Kentucky and Tennessee. 1t
has been proposed that the western
states employ Samuel : .Untermeyer as
special counsel to conduct the oral ex
aminations Of che trustees Of the {Mu
tual.
The fact that stuyvesant Fish was
forced to resign as "a member of 5.tht
Truealale committee because Of his re
fusal to conduct a dummy investiga
ton, together with the peculiar attitude
Of President. Peabody, has convinced
| the commissioners of the western states
that a condition of affairs exists within
the company which as matter of jus
tice to it's policyholders should b.
thoroly explained. 5,>~e.>

Chicago. Feb. 2S.-A Washington
special to the Chicago Tribune says:
If anything were needed to show
up the extraordinary tactical blunder, of
Senator Aldrich in voting to put Sen

regulation forces, it might have been
found on the floor Of the senate yester-
day, when Senator Bailey of Texas, the

Senator Tillman, took charge of the
matter, insisted upon an early vote, and
went so far as to threaten to dispossess
the statehood bill in the : interest of
immediate action on the paramount
question of railway regulation.
Aldrich Is to Blame.
Everything goes to show that Sen
ator Aldrich and his unusual exhibition
of temper can be blamed chiefly for
the coming sacrifice Of the interests of
the railroad corporations, if there is to
be sacrifice.

over the rate bill. Senator Bailey him
self, who is a fine constitutional law

the United States shall not be liable

these amendments were necessary to
absolutely protect the interests of the

they were unnecessary, but accepted
them on account Of the desire Of other
senators. -
