RooseVelt's Action.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Cot was
supposed there would be brief ses-

son will certainly speak, and in the
House Representative Williams will
also speak.

ING POLICIES

NEW YORK, Dec 21.-Announce-
1aent was made yesterday that three
insurance companies, the Washington
Life. the Provident Savings Life and
the United States Life, which have
been operating in part on mutual
plan, will write only non-participating
insurance after January /. The new
insurance law forbids an insurance
company after the first of the year
to write both participating and non
participating insurance. 1t must
make a choice, therefore, between
plans.
Their decision to adopt the non
participating plan exclusively has had
the effect of taking the three COM
panies out of the competition of an
nual dividend business and putting
them in a class by themselves as rep
resenting an entirely distinct form Of
insurance.

The PORTER Lot.
WILL DOUBTLESS BE THE SITE
f. OF THE FEDERAL BUILDING.

A Washington special to Tuesdays
Courier Journal stated that the DIR.
o. J. Porter lot on West Seventh
street had been selected as the site
for Columbia's new Federal building.
This item of news appears TO have
been overlooked by the correspondents
of the Tennessee Papers and so far
has not been verified. Postmaster
Hughes was seen this morning by
Herald man and had had no off1cial
intimation Of the choice having been
made and knew nothing further than
the press dispatch. Dr.. Porter was no
better informed He could not tell
from the dispatch whether his entire
lot would be taken or only part OF II.
He put in two bids, one on lot
120x130 feet on the corner of West
Seventh and what is known as FTler-
son alley at $1,000. The bid on the
entire lot 1S0x22O feet was $4,000,
Some official notification will doubt
less be made at once.

tralized.
1.-THE sending out of punitive ex-
peditions. not for the purpose of estab-
fishing peace and order but for the
purpose Of terrifying the natives into
paving a tax, which, as administered,
even the Commissioners regard as in
human.
1T is to be remembered that these
are not charges brought against the
Congo Government, but findings of the
Commission which was appointed by
the Chief Executive of the Govern
ment to investigate and report on the
facts. Accordingly, upon these find
ings. a second commission, also APP
pointed by the King, has recommended
measures Of reforms No steps hsVe
been taken to adopt them. There Is
no evidence that the Congo Govern
ment is undertaking seriously TO REM
edy these evils. The powers which
created the Congo Government have
clearly a right to call that Govern
fment to account Inasmnch as the
/ United States gave its moral support
to the establishment of the Congo Gov
eminent, it is justified in giving its
moral support to any undertaking to
secure conditions in the Congo that
will not disgrace civilization. We wish
to assure you that for any measure
YOU may adopt in order to give the
powers such moral support, you win
have our earnest and urgent approval.

hall. of the American people to use the

Government to correct the abuses the
Congo natives are alleged to be suf-
fering from.
The communication is as follows:
over a year has passed since the
report of the commission chosen by
the Chief Executive and virtual own
err OF the Congo to investigate condi-
tions in that State was published In
spite of their natural desire to give
all possible credit to their sovereign,
Z the Commissioners felt constrained to
report the existence of measures and
practices of fragrant inhumanity.
Among these measures and practices
are the following:
1.-THE exaction of a labor tax so
oppressive that many natives on whom
it falls have little if any freedom.
Appropriation of land to such
an extent that the natives are practi-
cally prisoners within their own ter
ritory
"3.-The employment under author
ity of the Government as sentries OF
cruel. british blacks, chosen from hos
tile tribes. who murder pillage and
rape the people for whose protection
the Government is avowedly establish

e4.-The abuse. Of the natives BY
white representatives of officially rec

"5.-The binding of little children
to years OF labor at uncertain wages
by contracts they do not understand
and even more serious maltreatmen
of children supposedly under the i'm

TWO PROMINENT PUBLICATIONS
WITH STRONG EDlTo-
RIAL STAFF. A.
THE AYLoR.TRoTWooD MAeA-
ZINE WILL BE THE NEW NAME.

A change in Nashville literary cir
cles of special interest to the people
of Columbia took place today when
Trootwoods Monthly and Bob Taylors
Magazine combined, the joint publica-
ton to be known hereafter as the
Taylor-Trotwood MAGAZINE.
This makes a strong combination
and the subscribers of the two for
mer publications viii reap the bene-
fit. Robert L. Tayl'r and John Trot-
wood Moore are two of the foremost
writer's of the South and these gentle
men will be associate editors of the
new publication. Their style and the
subjects they cover differ largely, but
both are delightful, entertaining and
| deeply interesting, and a treat is in
store for the thousands, who will re
ceive the new magazine in the coming
years.
The new company will have annie
/ capital, and while the organization has
not been perfected. it is said Hon
John w. Fry of Columbia, viii be pres
ident. Messrs. Fry, Eugene Ander
son, Geo E. McKennon, +. L. Taylor
John Trotwoid Moe 7e, d. f. Wallace
Jr., Laps D. McCord and Mr.. Foster

form the board of directors.
The place of publication will b.
Nashville, and we foresee for the new
publication marked success.

FIVE HUNDRED ANIMALS GRE
MATED IN BLAZE AT ATLANTA
STARTED BY SAFE
BLOWERS.

ATLANTA. Ga, Dec. 25.-A loss of
500 900 was caused by a fire here
early today which destroyed the livery
and sales stables of Harper Bros, and
of Ragsdale & Carlyle near the Union
Stock Yards, in the western part of
the city. One hundred horses and 400
mules, which the lone Waterman was
unable to release, were burned to
death The fire is supposed to have
been caused by the overturning of a
stove in the office, and this was caus-
ed by the efforts of robbers to blow the
safe. The insurance is approximately
5000.
