The home life of the Chinese is less
familiar to the American than that Of
any other foreign nation represented in
this country. After the manner of their
forefathers, the Chinese hold to con-
servativc ideas for their women, and
with few exceptions, where the femi-
nine members Of the family have taken
10 attending meetings and clubs in
public, Americans do not get SO much
as IL peep at the dainty little women
upon whom we bestOw SO much SYM
pathv, but who. after all, IL the truth
he known, are far happier than the
ma jority II these who pity them. The
keynote of Chinese home life as it Is
lived In this country is contentment.
The wife and mother is happy with
her husband. who. despite his scattered
business interests. he he even Il high
binder or II professional fantan man,
, is devotion itself to his family. She
thoroughly enjoys her children. her
coy home with its musical instru-
mentS. its flowers. and the domestic
/ pets. All Chinese women are taught to
piay the young cum. Il ztherlike in
strument, and the majority of them
sing the queer Oriental songs. which
ARE verses of the classics set to music.
without exception. there are flowers In
almost every window Of Chinese
home, though the home consist of only
two rooms, us many of them In New
York and San Francisco do. These
women know nothing Of the opera. the
horse shows, dinners. and grand cotil-
Ions among the Chinese women there
are no passee maidens who after three
Or four seasons are still unsought in
marriage. and there are no divorces.
| Their very Ignorance of the world is
the safeguard of their contentment, and
why any one who is content and happy
should be the object Of pity and sympa

COnfucius-like wisdom to solve.-I .es-

Commission Returns
FROM Down STRAITS

Seattle. Feb. 2l.-In accordance
with the plans of Capt. Burwell, u s.
N, for the establishment of a wireless
telegraph stations along the Washing
ton coast for the aid of navigation, the
special Valencia commission. of which
he is a member. will recommend i'm
mediately that the scheme be carried
out. and will also ask that life-sav-
ing station be placed on the south
shore of Waddah island. near Neah
bay. This action was decided upon
during the trip of the commissioners
to the entrance to the straits. and the
recommendations will be sent to Wash
ington at once.
The wireless plan is to erect sta
ton at Cape Flattery, which is to be
i'm communication with Seattle, and
also with coastwise ships entering the
sound.
Commissioners Murray, Smith and
Burwell, upon their return from two
days spent in the vicinity of Cape
Flattery and Tatoosh island, during
which time they experienced exceed
inely heavy weather, gave out the
statement that. in their opinion, no
time should be lost in establishing
the wireless station at the point and
the placing of life-saving station and
crew on Waadah island.
The weather was very rough during
the trip of the Columbine and the
commissioners had good chance to
observe conditions similar to those
prevailing when the Valencia was
wrecked.

the President will Use Veto,

Washington, Feb. 23.-When the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce meets OH Friday to vote on a
rate bill, the announcement will be
made authoritatively that President
Roosevelt will not attempt to prevent
amendment of the Hepburn bill; that
he will leave the committee free to ex-
ercise its best judgment and, if posi-
BILE. compromise its differences; that
If a bill is reported which does not
meet his approval and in that form is
passed by congress he will content
himself with the exercise of the veto
power.
This announcement was made as the
result OF conference at the White
House yesterday between the president
and Senator's Dolliver and Clapp,
Speaker Cannon, Representative Hep
burn and Attorney General Moody.
They had under consideration an
amendment drafted by Senator Knox
which aims to give to any complain
ant authority to file petition in cir
cult court asserting that rate fixed
or that an order of the commission
was in reality unlawful and author
lied the court to hear the suit and de-
eide whether the commission acted
within its authority and whether the
constitutional rights of the plaintiff
had been violated.
AS they had previously announced
thav would do oil +hooo oo11oJ ;,,<~
the conference made firm stand for
the Hepburn bill in its present form
and said that none of the amendments
suggested seemed to be an improve
ment.
Attorney General Moody contends
the bill is constitutional.
VIII Oppose Amendment.
After Senators Dolliver and Clapp
returned to the Capitol they told GER
tain colleagues that they would go
into the committee on Friday and
make a firm stand to have the bill re-
ported without amendment.
When asked concerning the attitude
of the president, they said that they
believed he is satisfied with the bill
as it now stands. but it is too much to
say that he is opposed to any amend
ment whatever.
They said that if anything should
be brought forward which i'll the opin-
ion of the friends of the bill would
better it and not obstruct its opera
ton the president would give it care

anCe Commissioners Office Score d
for Lax Per Torrance OF Duties.

New York, Feb. 24.-The commit
tee appointed at the last session of the
New York legislature to investigate
life insurance, has made its report. d.
The report is extremely voluminous,
extending to $40 printed pages. 1t
embraces a long review of the testimo-
ny taken by the committee and its rec
concentrations and conclusions as to
remedial legislation.
In addition there is chapter de-
voted to the state insurance depart
ment. in which the committee de.
clares it would seem the spuerintend-
ent of the department had had ample
power to ascertain the transactions of
the insurance copmanies, but the su-
perrvision by the department has not
proved sufficient protection against
extravaganza and maladministration.
Instances are given of reports made
on the affairs of the Mutual Life, New
York Life and Equitable Life compa-
MES, in which nothing was brought
out to show the conditions developed
in the testimony given before the com
mittee.
No substantial amplicfiation of the
powers of the department seems neces-
sary, according to the committee,
which holds that most of the evils
which have been disclosed would have
been impossible had there been Wig
orous performance of the duties al.
ready laid upon the insurance depart
ment.

LEGISLATION Recommended.

The remedial legislation recon.
mended by the committee provides for
the safeguarding of the rights of the
policy holders in mutual companies in
the election of directors; recommends
that stock copmanies be given author
ity to retire their stock and become
mutual companies; that such mutual
ization shall not be compulsory.
A recommendation is made limiting
new business to $3.50, 900, 900 year.
Lobbying is condemned. The COM
mittee favors the prohibition Of con.
tributions by insurance companies for
political purposes.
The wisdom of economical manage
ment is urged, but the committee does
not deem it advisab BILE that the legisla-
ture should attempt to prescribe the
expenditures of insurance companies.
Fruther recommendations are made
on the valuation of policies, surrender
value, surplus, forms of policies and
publicity of all facts pertaining to a
company's business.
An amendment to tho penal code is
recommended to provide that the per-
son receiving rebate should be equal
ly guilty with the one who gives it.

Wants Accounts fxamin I'd.

In its detailed report of the investi-
CATION of the committee says the ac-
counts of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company should be thoroughly exam
ined in order that the extent to which
moneys have been Incorporated
and the responsibility for such may be
shown and determined.
Concerning the New York Life In
surance company, the committee found
that its transactions with Andrew
Hamilton showed extraordinary abuses
and that the statement sent from Paris
by Hamilton was without suitable
specifications.
In taking up the Equitable Life AS
surance Society, the committee tells of
the dissensions last February, which
resulted in the reorganization of the
society, and in the disclosures which
brought about this grave inquiry.
The syndicate operations of the
Equitable and James H. Hyde, and the
relations between the society and
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., as brought out in
the testimony before the committee,
are referred to, as is the $50, 900, 600
Union Pacific pool under the manage
ment of Hartman, SchiH and Still
man. Participation in this pool by the
Equitable, the committee holds, was
clearly an improper transaction for an
Insurance company.
The payment of 100000 year to
Senator Depew is considered by the
committee as an unwarranted expend-
iture.
The committee finds that. in spite of
the irregularities shown, there is no
reason to question the solvency of the
Mutual Life, the New York Life, nor
the Equitable Life companies.
Nothing disclosed by the investi-
CATION, SAYS the report, deserves
tematic efforts of the large insurance
companies to control a large part of
the legislation of the state.
They have been organized into
an offensive and defensive alliance to
procure or to prevent the passage
of laws affecting not only insurance
but great variety of important in
teTests 10 WHlcn, through sUuSluldTy
companies. or through the contrib
tuions of their officers, they have be-
come related.
: "Their operations have extended
beyond the state and the country has
been divided into districts, so that each
copmany might perform conveniently
its share of the work.
Enormous sums have been expend-
ed in surreptitious manner. Irregu-
lar accounts have been kept to conceal
the payments for which proper vouch-
ers have not been required.
This coruse of conduct has created
widespread conviction that large
portion of the money has been dishon-
estly used
