COUNTING THE VOTES
BOTH SIDES CLAISE VICTORY IN IN- sURANCE ELECTIONS.
InternatiOnaI PolicyhOIders of Mut,,al and New York Life Say They Have Won by a Large
 Majority

New York, Dec I9.--The task oF counting 7s5,000 votes cast at the elec- tions for Trustees held yesterday by the New York and Mutual Life Insur- ancs Companies, will begin probably early next week. The Board of Inspec- tors of each company has secured the services of expert accountants, who will have charge of the counting and tabu- lating of the votes. Senarate account ing firms have been employed by the two companies. Before the actual work begins. representatives of each of these firms will consult together with view of perfecting a system for can wasting the votes
 The i've inspectors of the New York Life conferred today with the repre- . sentatives of the administration ticket and the international committee ticket. Samuel Untermyer and Mr. Scrugham represented the policyholders, while James H. Mcintosh represented the ad- ministration. The conference was called for the purpose of considering matters relative to the canvas of the votes. Nothing definite was done. Mr. Mcintosh raised an objection to count ing the poiicyholders' tickets on the ground that they were received In sealed packages and were not opened in the presence of the inspectors. The inspectors LOOK no acton on thtS pro- test. The inspectors of the Mutual Life also met today and conferred with representatice of the accountants em- ployed by the company.
 When the count begins both sides will have regularly commissioned watchers present and ballots and prox- les which are considered fraudulent or illegal will be duly challenged. Un- doubtedly large numbers of duplicate ballots have been cast inadvertently. Many policyholders who have held in either company more than one policy have case a vote on each policy, all though only entitled to one vote Many of the proxies are made out in foreign languages.
 The result of the elections seem still to be in doubt. Both the adminIstra- ton forces and the international policy holders committee are declaring they have been victories in the two com panies. The officers of the New York Life have not reduced a particle of their estimate of a victory for the pres ant management by a plurality of 1O0.- 900 and the administration of the Mu- tual estimates its plurality at I5O.O0O.
 The international poIicyholders com- mittee, however, still lays claims rO having carried the Mutuals election by from 7,5O0 to 19,O00 votes and the New York Life by from 5000 to 12.O00.

 Prince Orslnl

Rome. Dec.- 1s.-No steps have been taken by the Vatican to entrust any power with the protection of the arch ives of the papal nunciature of Paris. The reports to the effect that some of the European countries were approach ed on the subject are declared by the vatican authorities to be groundless.
 The attitude of the vatican towards the new French Government bill amend ing the separation law in regard to the conduct of public worship is defined by tbe papal authorities as being dis trustful," the latter being convinced of the necessity of continuing in the way they have already taken in order to obtain at least tolerable conditions for the church iu France.
 The Pope this morning received Prince Orsini the senior assistant at the papal 1hfone, the ahighests lay off, cer of the papal court with whom he conversed on the situation in France.

CAUSES OF DEFEAT

ure of tho Causes of Russia's Defeat
by Japan.

st. Petersburg, March 20-General
Kuropatkin's last order-of- -the-day TO
the First Manchurian army. printed In
Russky Invalid today. Is u remarkable
exposure OF the causes of Russian de-
feats, showing they were due to lack Of
preparation and equipment and to the
fact that there were no explosive shells
for mountain artillery. etc., In the
early stages of the war He does not
shirk his own responsibility as minister
points out that causes Of the defeats
were deeper, namely: morale Of the
troops and officers, who did not dis
play initiative. independence or enthu-
siasn, in spite Of the iron nerves and
heroic spirits OF the soldiers. All this
the general boldly announces, Is at
tributal to the oppression of the bu-
reaucratic rule during the last Atty
years which, In the case of officers,
drove men of independence from the
service, leaving only worthless drones.
He congratulates the troops on the ad-
vent Of liberty and hope for regenera-
ton of the people, Kuropatkin gives
the entire losses of the First Manchu-
rian army, which averaged the strength
OF 100, coo men and 2.200 officers. IS 395
officers We're killed. 1888 wounded; 10,-
4a5 men killed and $3.50 wounded.

FOR SEA LEVEL CANAL
!. =. Wallace, Former Chief Engineer
Of the Canal, Before tho Senate
Canal committes-Advocates Sea
Level Canal and Gives Probable Cost
as $500, ,ooo, 600.

Washington, March 2O.-John r,
Wallace, former chief engineer OF the
Panama canal commission, in state
ment before the senate committee on
the interoceanic canals today advocated
approximately straight, sea level canal,
of ample width and depth as the best
type. He urged that any other plan
that places restrictions upon the prob
able permanency Of the canal itself as
well al upon the speed and size and
number Of vessels passing thru it.,
must render the canal far less valua-
BILE; that the only deterrent factors in
this connection are relative time and
cost ard that in the approaching dis
cussion of the question of how much
money the American people supposedly
are willing to invest in the canal and
how much time they are willing to wait
for its proper accomplishment should
be considered. He said, judged by cap
italizat!on and dividends now paid upon
the stock of the Suez canal it's appar-
ent rates charged for transit thru it are
excessive, that thus material saving
would he offered commerce by the Pan
ANA route. Assuming that the present
tonnage thru the Suez of say ten mill
ion tons per year would pass thru the
Panama canal, even at dollar ton,
there would be, he said, an approxi-
mate income of $10,000.000 which is
sufficient to justify an expenditure of
$500, 900 000." The latter figure ne
deemed ample to construct sea level
canal. AS to additional time involved
Wallace predicted that upon a basis
"of reasonable energy and use of proper
business methods of administration,
sea level canal can be fully completed
in ten. or to be entirely safe. say twelve
gears. and Q lock canal even II only
