this city today, when fewer than 100
grizzled and bent old men assembled
to celebrate the sixtieth anniversa "
of the battle of Buena Vista. Out of
an army of 100000 there are only
300 left. Many of them are bed-rid-
den, many are blind, some are Grip
pied, and all are very old and many
very poor. A bill is now before con-

GOVERNMENT
Chinese Antipathy for it Cause
of Trouble in the
Orient.

San Francisco, Feb 22-Dr. T. w.
Ayers, who has been engaged in hos
pital work in North China for five
years past in connection with the
Southern Baptist mission, arrived from
the Orient yesterday. In discussing
the situation in China a subject on
which he is well informed, he said:
Call of the trouble now brewing in
China is directly attributable to tho
deep seated and uncomfortable anti
pathy toward the government. The
feeling of dissatisfaction is spreading
and to my mind a revolution is i'm
minent. The anti-foreign feeling is
merely one of expressions of the move
ment which has for its purpose the
unseating of the Manchu dynasty and
the establishment Of a republican
form of government in its stead. The
boycott on American goods similarly
is an expression of the same revolu-
tionary purpose. These things are
merely the means to an end"

Subject of Investments.

On the subject of investments Of life
insurance companies, the committee
after declaring against syndicates,
recommends that the law be amended
SO as to provide that no investment In
stock of any corporation be permitted,
except the public stocks of municipal
corporations.
That investments in bonds secured
to the extent of more than One-third
of the value of the entire security
therefor by hypothecation of corporate
stocks shall be prohibited. No loans
on stocks or bonds except as stated
above. Prohibited stocks and bonds
to be disposed of. Syndicate partici-
pations forbidden.
New Business Limited.
The committee recommends the
limit of new business for big COM
panies to hundred and fifty millions
annually. Political contributions are
strictly forbidden. The report scores
the lobbyists and mentions in particu-
lar Andrew Fields, who represented
the Mutual and Equitable Life Insur-
ance companies at Albany. It also
says Alexander Hamilton failed to
render proper account of the moneys
he spent, and the officers of the
Equitable who might have thrown light
on the disbursements remained out IF
the jurisdiction or were disabled by
illness, therefore the committee was
unable to trace the moneys expended.
Further along the report recommends
that lobbying. be restricted and that
the legislature should free itself from
the stigma attached to the progress of
important legislation,

Outside OF Russia the opinion is gen

shared by the late Russian novelist
and political writer Sergius Stepniak,
whose study of the Russian peasantry
has recently been published in a new
edition. In support of his own thesis
that the religious condition of the peas
INT is very low Stepniak quotes the
host prominent of Russian historians,
who say that the peasants of today, like
their forefathers of the seventeenth
century, are remarkable for a state
Of such complete religious indifference

name is on every lip, and the will and
biddings of the Almighty are constantly
cited as bases of the code of life. New
ertheless, Stepniak insists, the socia!
philosophy of the peasantry is based
on system of pure ethics, with no ad
mixture of theology The author main
tains that after eight centuries of of.
fetal Christianity the bulk of the popu

faint conception of the framework up.

further:
