bert S. Pard. counsel for the ''select-
ed fusion ticket" of the Mutual Life
Insurance company made public a
letter last night which he sent to
President Peabody OF the company
in reply to a letter in which Mr..
Peabody said that Until he knew more
about who was back Of the fusion
tichet" and its purposes he could not
consent to serve as a candidate on
it. Mr.. Pard's reply in part fol-
lows:

ity of the movers In the matter /
assured you that this ticket was not
originated for the purpose Of aiding
inthe election of either OF the other
tickets. 1t is not a trick ticket but
an earnest effort to accomplish the
best for the company. The persons
behind the ticket, ! represent are
managers, agents and policy holders
of the Mutual Lte4 Insurance com
pany, but 1t would be premature to
announce at the present time the
names of The individuals supporting
the movement even for your pur-
poses, and I am not at liberty to dc
so. You can see that to, do this at
the present time would be to give
the McCurdy element in the board OF
trustees, who are in a position OF
employers of managers and agents in
the control ofthe machinery of the
company itself unfair advantage
solely by reason Of their power and
without respect to the merits Of the
issue. For the same reason it was
impossible to consult with oul
nominees in advance, however glad
we would have been to do so In or

brought the rate hearing before the
state railroad and warehouse COM
mission, to a sudden and sensational
close yesterday. When Commissioner
Staples moved an adjournment until
today every one in the room was on
his feet and all the attorneys were
talking at once.
The excitement was caused by the
testimony of Trenholm, who on cross
examination by Attorney Manahan
admitted that he believed that his
road had paid the salaries and ex-
penses of some of its employees while
they were absent from duty engaged
upon political work.
s'Was it not withthe object of de-
feating La. Follette?" was the next
question asked by Manahan. I'M
mediately the objections came in a
perfect shower, Commissioners an
nounced that they did not consider
this matter relevant to the hearing
now being conducted and when Mana
han insisted and endeayored to go
farther and show how the money had
been spent and in what state and for
the defeat or election Of what can
didates Commissioner Mills ordered
him to his seat and declared the hear
ing adjourned.

st. Petersburg, Russia, Sept. 81.
The call for the national convention
of the constitutional democratic party
to elaborate the program of tactics
for the coming parliamentary cleo
tions has been issued by the central
committee which has been in nightly
session here for some time The con-
gress will be held in Finland October
9th. The committee having been in
formed that the government, realiz-
ing that the repressive measures can
only serve to strengthen the party,
has abandoned its intention of sup
pressing the congress and is willing
to permit Of its meeting anywhere
except in st. Petersburg. The com
mittee is highly satisfied with the
governments new position, member
declaring that earlier prohibition has
served the. purpose of consolidating
the party and preventing schism,
which was expected after the issuance
of the Viborg manifesto. This mani
festo viii probabiy y be kept in the
back ground, the party leaders now
being convinced that its issuance will
beSa tactical mistake. 5s
Neither non payment of taxes nor
the refusal of military service, a
member ofthe committee admitted, is
a practical measure at present.
The Octoberists, and the regenera-
tionists have been In conference on
the matter of cooperation and have
succeeded In reaching an agreement
on many points Of the electoral pro

Strenuous Appeals Of Both Moderate
and Liberal Leaders are Made
Taft Says Danger Of Losing indie
pendence Forever May Secure
Necessary Concessions.

Havana, Cuba, Sept. 21.-The sec
ond day of the conference with the
factional leaders in the Cuban con-
flict has not enabled Secretary Of War
Taft and Assistant Secretary Of State
Bacon to announce any plan for COM
promising the difficulty. So strenu-
Gus are the appeals of both the liber-
al and moderate party leaders that
complicated as the negotiations pro-
ceed. However, Secretary Taft said
last night that he believed when they
are brought face to face with the
danger of losing their Independence
forever, all patriotic Cubans will be
willing to make concessions.
Secretary Taft added that the
United States peace emissaries are
occupying most delicate position
and have undertaken to hear all the
complaints and that until they have
made themselves thoroughly convers-
ant with the political turmoil of Cuba
they cannot express themselves free
ly in the conferences fearing that
possibly "a misunderstanding may
have. a deterrent effect on the pro-
ceedings.
The only counsel to the political
leaders given by Taft was on the
subject of not engaging in further
agitation that might make interven-
tion by the United States necessary.
This advice he offers freely to all
whom he gives an audience regard
less of party.
Secretary Taft made it clear that
the United States is not seeking to
exercise control over the island or
any of It's affairs, but he has quoted
President Roosevelt's letter to Minis
ter Quesada to the effect that the
United States has duty which 1T
cannot shirk To those whom he has
met in conference, Secretary Taft
has said that now is the time to
decide whether thy would have CUBE
live as a nation. He has weighed
every word carefully and has neither
upheld nor criticized the principles of
either faction.
