Oakland. May 3,-A revision of in
surance liabilities in San Francisco
results in an increase of figures to a
grand total of 30000000. These
figures are reached by placing the
average rate per 100 at 30 per cent
and estimating two-thirds of the liza
bilities as lost. Previous figures plac-
ed the total insurance loss at Sl64.-
900. 900.
Coincident with the fact that the
losses reach such an enormous figure,
comes report from the adiusters
meeting today to the effect that a
strong faction has arisen in insurance
circles which is opposed to paying
earthquake losses. While a majority
apparently favor paying all losses on
buildings destroyed by fire, whether
or not previously wrecked by earth
quake, or by dynamite, there seems to
be a prospect that the conservative ell
ement will win out.
The losses are so great that soma
companies will go to the wall IL they
meet all liabilities in full. The fight
amcng the adjusters is assuming
alarming phases, and the whole aspect
of the situation is unfavorable for the

MATER WORKS NOTES.

The Springfield Republican published on
Tuesday the detailed preliminary report
of the water commissioners of that city
and Of Allen Hazen, the consulting en-
gineer on n plan for bringing a water
supply to Springfield from Little river.
In the estimates and specifications there
are included "72 miles Of Ss-inch pipe,
SIS inch thick, lock bar or riveted." and
AS miles 42-inch steel pipe 3-S inch
thick. lock bar or riveted." Mr. Crowell
thinks these items are significant in view
of the criticism which has been made Of
his use Of steel pipe of precisely the same
character to bring the water from Stick
ney brook into Pleasant valley. The pipe
used by Mr.. Crowell is only ~ inches in
diameter and Is as thick in proportion
10 its size as that contemplated for use
in the Springfield system. The superior
strength of this steel pipe. and its COM
paratvely light weight, evidently com
mend il to civil engineers for water sys-
TENS. In Mr.. Crowell's case he chose
the steel pipe mainly because Il had to be
carried by the men for long distances
over rough territory where It would have
been almost impossible to carry and
handle the heavy cast iron pipe.
The action of the village meeting having
released Mr. Crowell from obligation to
suspend all further work for the compile
ton of his system. he viii proceed this
fall to lay a 10-inch main through Frost
and Flat streets. and will take up the
6-inch pipe now in use there and lay II
in South Main street to supply the new
residence section to be opened there.

Judge Wheeler's Retirement.
Huntington Free Press. !

Those who attend sessions Of the United
States court in Vermont during the com
ing few years will miss the kindly and
patriarchal, yet strong and intellectual
face which for many years has looked
down at lawyers and laity from the
bench. AS has already been intimated in
these columns Judge Hoyt II. Wheeler
has announced his desire TO be placed
on the retired list and his resignation
will take effect upon the appointment
and confirmation of his successor. No
one could watch the dispensation OF JUS
tice by Judge Wheeler without feeling
insJinctively that here is n mana good
man, as well as a strong jurist. He had
the love and respect OF people generally
as well as of the bar They knew that
here was no disposition to encourage a
resort 20 the tricks of the trade. but an
earnest determination TO administer the
broad principles OF justice and to see that
the right prevailed
Judge Wheeler has been an ornament
to the federal bench and jurist OF
whom any state would be proud. The
esteem In which his lofty character and
abilities as judge are held elsewhere.
is evident from the extent 10 which he
has been called upon to preside over ses-
sions Of the United States court I'm New
York city and his successor viii deserve
hearty congratulation. whoever he may
be. II he is able to leave behind him
as high n reputation for lofty integrity
spotless character, eminent capacity as
a jurist and lovable qualities as man. ms
are today the priceless possession OF the
Hon. Hoyt II. Wheeler.
We reproduce in this connection the
appreciable estimate placed upon the
record and character of Judge Wheeler
by the esteemed Rutland News as fol-
lows:
IT, as was reported in the Evening News
from Washington yesterday, Judge Hoyt
II. Wheeler retires from a long and
useful service as Judge Of the circuit
and district court of the United States
he will leave behind him a most enviable
record for uprightness and judicial APP
plication of the law to causes tried al
his BENCH
Judge Wheeler never has been n poll
tician, but rather a typical citizen OF
the old school-a lawyer belonging to the
old school, now nearly extinct, man who
never posed as a leader or lord OF crea-
ton.
He represented the town Of Jamaica
i'm 1867, and the two years following was
in the Senate from Windham county.
From 1869 to 1877 he was a Judge of the
Vermont state courts, resigning to ac-
cept the district judgeship which he soor
surrenders to another.
Vermonters everywhere love him and
will long cherish the example OF his well
ripened years. Men like Judge Wheeler
with his magnificent record. do not suffer
in the least Inbred and scurrilous dabs
and jabs of Vermont's undertaking news
paper.
Judge Wheeler will remain towering
figure in the history of Vermont judiciary
long after the body snatching efforts from
certain aggrieved source will have beer
forgotten.
