Mylrea Got Some Fees.

That William Ii. Mylrea, when at
torney general of Wisconsin, during
the year 1895, received 1891 from the
Northwestern Mutual Life insurance
company, was an interesting fact de.
Eeloped yesterday,
The fact also that the management
of life insurance companies and the
expense OF new business eats out
large proportion of the premiums paid
on life insurance was also brought
out torcibly, in figures read into the
record showing that the amount which
has been expended by the Northwest.
ern Mutual Life Insurance company
for expenses since Its organization
has been SG7OOO,OOO, wD.,n is only
$l9,000,000 less than has been paid
out on death claims.
Another important fact brought out
was that when the Wisconsin tax was
levied in the form of a l per cent.
tax on premiums that the tax was
assessed solely against the Wisconsin
policyhOldors Of the company. When
this practice was started Mr.. skinner
could not say.
In regard to the payment TO Nh.
Mylrea, Vice President Skinner testl.
fed that he believed it was given the
eX-attoIney general for services IN
placing a valuation on real estate OF
the company when an examination
was made by several states in 1895.
When asked If Mylrea did not assist
in making up the report which was
presented on the condition OF the
company at that time, Mr.. Skinner
said he did not know. The appoint
ment Of Mr.. hylTea, Mr.. Skinner said,
to value the real estate was at the
instance Of the commissioners making
the examination and not the appoint
ment of the company.
This payment TO Mr.. Mylrea brought
up the question of the propriety OF
these examinations being paid for by
the company as they now are. For a
long time 1t has been demanded mat
these examinations be paid for by the
state, and Mr.. Skinner agreed with
Senator Frear that he thought they
should be.

ing, and then later, when informed
that The Journal company had no job
printing establishment, said It must
he for advertising. The payments TO
The Wisconsin, Mr.. Skinner said were
for job printing and TO The Sentinel
for bindery work. MIR Skinner de-
clared his company had never paid
anything TO newspapers In an attempt
TO influence editorial opinion Mr.
Skinner said also his company paid
very little for newspaper advertising

Senator Sought Interview.

Mr.. Chandler has declared most
positively in written statement
that the president sent for him for
the purpose of getting into commune
cation with Senator Bailey and my
self and he has produced the letter
of Mr. Loeb.
Il now declare most emphatically
that to no human being have ! ever
given authority or even expressed a
wish to have any conference with
Theodore Roosevelt in regard to the
bill now under consideration. On the
contrary | have expressed the opinion
in more than one public interview
that he had nothing to do with 1t
and that it was the business of the
senate, and while l did, at his request,
enter into negotiations with the attor-
ney general, it is well known to every
senator on this floor what my atti-
tude and feelings have been and it is
most remarkable that while the pres
ident sent for democrat after demo
crat to confer with him about this
measure that he should undertake I'M
der the circumstances to assert that
sent an agent to him to begin ne
gotiations. The statement is absurd
on its face.
The other point to which | shall
refer is the cavalier way in which
Mr.. Moody discusses the idea of the
president not being bound. While
contradicting in no instance, however
slight my statement Of what occurred,
the attorney general seems TO think
the code of honor among gentlemen
is not binding upon the executive and
his cabinet
The President asked him to see
Senator Bailey and myself. We met
by appointment made by Senator
Chandler and talked over the vital
question. He wrote and sent to Sen
ator Bailey his understanding of our
views and when we met subsequently
we reached absolute agreement, both
as to the form and substance of a
proposed amendment to which he
said the president would assent and
help get votes for.
Charged With Bad Faith.
"Of course, the PRESENT was not
bound to change, but he was bound
under such circumstances to give
notice and this was not done. Even
the attorney general himself was not
notified. The charge / made and still
make is that the president is guilty
Of bad faith and the rate bill, which
will be, when enacted into law,
much better and stronger measure
than we had hoped to get, has been
emasculated Of one of its most yalu-
able and essential features by the
presidents action.
81 am ready to leave the whole
question to the thoughtful and honor
able men Of the country"
This is TilIman Now"
Soon after beginning his statement
Senator Ttillman injected the words
this is Tillman talking now" which
caused litter in the senate and con
siderable laughter in the galleries.
When Senator Tillman had conclud.
ed Senator Allison asked to have
read the presidents letter TO hin.
He only said that his object was TO
