Germany therefore comes out Of the
Algeciras conference alone. Alone she
fought and alone she gained half
victory The knowledge that she has
no allies is valuable to Germany. This
was partly her reason for forcing
conference. King Edward had Visited
Paris and followed. that visit with
call at Rome and one on the King of
Portugal. It was rumored that he was
cementing national understandings
wherever he went. The kaiser wanted
to know whether it was true and he
has learned-that King Edward was
smooth enough to form an understand
ing with France, which Frenchmen
consider as advantageous to their coun-
try as the treaty with Russia. He
learned that King Edward was strong
enough to detach Italy from the triple
alliance and make her practically a
member of the new alliance Of Medi-
terranean powers, Great Britain, Italy
and France.
The diplomacy of the King of Great
Britain has apparently been steadily
directed toward minimizing the i'm
portance of Germany in European pol
itics. Why? Because Germany has
suddenly blossomed out as the indus
! trial rival of Great Britain. 1t is not
so much a question of the old division

houses is to be found on ArniSh rock,
Stornoway bay, a rock which is sepa-
rated from the island of Lewis by a
channel over 500 feet wide. It is in the
Hebrides. Scotland. On this rock a
conical beacon is erected, and on its
summit lantern is fixed. from which,
night after night, shines light which
Is seen by the fishermen far and wide.
Yet there is no burning lamp in the
lantern. and no attendant ever goes to
it, for the simple reason that there is
no lamp to attend to, no wick to train
and no oil we'll to replenish.
The way In which this peculiar light
house is illuminated is this: ION the
island of Lewis, 500, feet or so away,
is lighthouse, and from a window In
the tower a stream Of light is project
ed on a mirror in the lantern on the
summit Of Arnisb rock. These rays
are reflected to an arrangement Of
prisms and by their action are con-
verged to focus outside the lantern,
from which they diverge in the neces-
sary direction"
The consequence is that to all intents
and purposes lighthouse exists which
has neither lamp nor lighthouse keeper
and yet which gives as serviceable a
light, taking into account the require
ments of the locality, as if an elaborate
and costly lighthouse, with lamps, serv-
ice room, bedroom. living room, store
room, oil room, water tanks and all
other accessories, were erected on the
.ummit of the rock.

statements of employees and officers
of the company, 572 words were flashed

also been sent and received from Pa

THE BOSTONIANS.

The death recently of w. H. Nc
Donald, barytone of the Bostonians. re-
calls the history of an organization
which had a great vogue in it's time and
which did much to keep up the tradi-
tons of light opera, today so intermin-
ably mixed with extravaganza that the
term light opera has ceased to be dis
tinctive. The Bostonians were an out
growth of the Boston Ideals and prac-
tically formed out of it. w. H. Nc
Donald, Tom Karl and H. c: Barnebee

ers. The Bostonians had the honor to

day.

The members of this organization
should all be independently rich. but
they probably are not; in fact, we
might safely infer as much from the
fact that few of them have retired,
though all have advanced in years. The
uncertainties of stage life were
never more strikingly exemplified. With
every sort of public favor extended
with unexampled popularity and pros
perity, the Bostonians made nobody
rich, and most of it's members are still
touring the country in their declining
years. looking for a meagre living In
inferior companies.
The explanation to be sought is prob
ably that, so far as the responsible
managers were concerned, the public
way their successes, but had no ac-
count of their failures; and failures in
opera are more numerous than sue
cesses. AS to the singers, they emu

they danced while the sun shone, and
took no account of the coming winter
of old age.

MUST NOT CHECK Up RATES
Secretary Of State Makes an In
portant Ruling
AGAINST THE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION
CLAIMS 1T HAS NO RIGHT TO
CENSOR WORK OF INDI-
VIDUAL, AGENTS.
AGAINST THE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION

Secretary of State Sam H. Nichols,
ex-officio insurance commissioner, has
ruled that the Washington Insurance
association cannot exercise a censor
ship over insurance rates quoted by
agents in this state. The maintenance
of a rate-making bureau which fur
doing business in this state is not
illegal, but the attempt to compel all
agents to observe these rates cannot
be permitted.
The secretary of state handed down
a decision yesterday in which he re-
quested the insurance companies to
abandon the plan of submitting all re-
ports through the Washington Insur-
ance association The effect of this re-
quest is an order abolishing Che CEN
sorship on insurance written by BOARD
companies"
The fight against the Washington
Insurance association was made in be-
half of a group of lumber manufac-
turers by Colonel C. C. Dalton. The
lumbermen insisted they were dis
eliminated against by the association
and raised the point that the associa-
ton was an insurance trust doing bus
mess in defiance of the anti combine
laws Of the state.
Heretofore all insurance written in
this state has been reported to the San
Francisco agents through the office o.
Lee Mckenzie, insurance adjuster of
the Washington Insurance association.
The practice, where rates have not
been followed, has been to call the at
tention of the local agents and the
San Francisco representatives, de-
handing an explanation In this man.

insisted that this inspection of re.
