DRAW ON QUAY STATUE
Republicans Couldn't Muster Enough
Votes 70 Confirm Amendments.


Harrisburg. Pa. Feb 3.-The attack
on the Quay monument commission
was quietly dropped by the senate with
the result of a drawn battle. The gov
ernor's appointments Of J. Donald Cam
eron. David H. Lane and Samuel r.
Moody wer not confirmed, but allowed
to lie on the table The Republicans
were unable to muster the necessary
two-thirds vote and took refuge in the
plea that honorary appointments do
not have to be confirmed by the senate.
The Democrats. under the leadership
OF Senator Webster Grim, OF Bucks
county, claim a victory. Whether the
commission will continue to serve and
will put up the $4,000 Quay statue or
not seems to be an open question.

Not great while ago some young men pre-

young men, but during their recent seminary
course they had mbibed views of inspiration and
other fundamental doctrines that were certainly,
not IN harmony with the usually understood views
OF our church For instance they quoted an

professors that Phillips Brooks was insured with
the same kind of inspiration as Pau1-on1v in

MAY ADJUST BIG LOSSES.
st. Francis, Shreve and Croeker Build
ings Damnge to he Considered.

An attempt will be made today to
adjust the losses on three of the large
buildings in San Francisco These are
the ST. Francis Hotel the Shreve build
ing and the Crocker building. Ap-
praisements of the loss have been
made. Now the several insurance
companies that are interested will
meet today at the ferry building TO
talk the matter over That is. some
of them will, through their represen-
tatives.
The loss on the st. Francis Hotel is
estimated at about s225,000. The
amounts of losses on the other build
ings mentioned. both of which are
owned by the Crocker heirs, are not
estimated. In the Shreve building the
costly stocks of goods figure in some
of the policies.
Since the old system Of calling meet
ings of representatives of companies
with the assured has proved to be so
nearly complete failure, some doubt
is manifested regarding the ability to
get together more than corporais

panies in which he was insured. One
company refused to pay upon the pre-
text that part of cornice on his build
ing had fallen, although the chimneys
in the building were still standing
after the fire. Another company had
refused payment on his stock of goods.
claiming that the falling of the cornice
had voided their policy also.
Several policy holders complained of
the unreasonable demands made by the
companies for plans and specifications
of burned buildings, which could not
be fully supplied because the archi-
tects or contractors were dead or had
moved away; others complained of the
demands for vouchers to support even
the smallest items in Inventories
others stated that payment had been
refused on bona fide losses on account
of the so-called earthquake clause
although the companies did not con-
test the amount of the loss, and there
was general complaint against the dill
atory tactics of nearly every company
for their delay, with the evident pur-
pose of wearing out the anxious and
dependent policy-holderS to secure a
large discount for an immediate cash
settlement.
1t was determined to secure the serv-
ices of competent, experienced ad-
juster, whenever necessary, to act in
behalf of the policy holders in all ques-
tions involving the falling of any part
of building, or the failure of the poll
icy-holder and the companies to agree
upon the amount of loss under the pol
icy.
A determined fight will be made to
enforce the payment of all just claims
and to prevent any chicanery that
might deprive any policy-holder of his
honest dues. w. H Langdon, the firm
