CONCESSION BY FRANCE.
Yields Point to American Insurance
Companies

The French government has made
notable concession to the American insur-
ance companies, whereby the new insur-
juriousy affect their interests This
closes long and animated controversy at
Paris which threatened at one time TO re-
suit in restrictions making 1t difficult for
the American companies to continue doing
business in France. The concessions now
granted are distinct mark of the gov
ernment's desire to continue and augment
the friendly relations between the two
countries. 1t is a coincidence that this
friendly act occurs while the American
delegates at Algeciras are able to exert
important pressure in amelforatfng the
Franco-Gernlan differences.
The new insurance law permits the gov
eminent to require foreign companies to
deposit French securities as a guarantee
for the payment of French policies. The
American companies agreed 10 deposit
French bonds covering their future bust
ness, but they objected to making an enor-
nous purchase of French securities COW
ering their past business.
The minister of commerce strenuousiy
insisted on deposits on past business ap-
proximating $20.000,00o. The government
has now waived the latter deposit on con-
dition that the companies publicly an
nounce that their past business is guaran-
teed by American securities and not by
French securities. The regulation to this
effect with the government Endorsement,
has been submitted to the council OF state
as a preliminary to its official promulga-
ton by the State Department.

GIFT TO THE SMITHSONIAN.
Valuable Manuscript From Thibet
Transmitted by Great Britain.

Great Britain has just transmitted TO the
Smit hsonian institution valuable Ihloetan
manuscript one of the results of the recent
expedition of Colonel Younghusband INTO
Thibet 1t must be said for the BRUSH
when they loot they loot scientifically ana
the British museum is filed with the fruits
of expeditions to all parts of the world
that display a rare governmental instinct
in grand larceny. But the manuscript in
question is not loot. 1t is the fruit of le-
gitimate purchase When the Younghus-
band expedition started for Thibet 1t was
accompanied by a regularly appointed eth
nologst and arcneologist, Colonel Waddeil,
who was under orders of the government
of India to purchase and acquire as many
valuable manuscripts and objects Of es-
pecial interest as could be conveniently OBJ
tanned. This manuscript is one of the finds
OF the expedition and has been presented
by the government of India to the Smith
sonian in return for number of scientific
courtesies that have been extended to Brit
ish and Indian scientists in this country.
The manuscript is bound in heavy boards
about an inch thick. 1t Is ten inches wide
and a little over three feet long. The upper
board. which would correspond to the cover
of book, is heavily lacquered and the
name of the volume embossed on the center
while the outer edges are illuminated with
a very fine border in an artistic vine pat
tern. The book Is not bound as we would
understand binding; the boards are loose
anu lIS leaves are idlu between In a pile or
paper foot high. Each leaf is a little
smaller than the board binding and is as
heavy as very light cardboard. The paper
is stained black and the writing is in gold
characters half an inch square. The writ
ing runs lengthwise Of the page and as the
pages are not numbered, the only way to
tell whether they have been kept in order
Is to read them, which there are not more
than two men in Washington capable of
doing. The language is Thibetan, but the
characters are devanajon, which are the
same that are used In sanskrit modern
Hlndoo ana many other eastern languages
Just as Roman characters are used for Eng
llsh, French. Spanish and a good many
other languages.
The whole work numbers 5000 slokas or
paragraphs and In all there are 36e pages
Inc tltle or the work is the Prajna Para
mlta or Transcendental Wisdom. The snb
1ect matter Is doubtless interesting and in
structive. but Is not for the uninitiated. The
pt,n e interest Is In the manuscript as a
viewpoint. 1t is rare and valuable. '''

about o'clock caused a slight fire. So
much smoke was caused that the operators
had to desert their instruments and leave

were anxious to assist the firemen who
were summoned to the building by the
sounding of an alarm turned In from box

a number of companies of the fire depart
ment responded and ii was feared that the
blaze would assume serious proportions,
but the prompt work of the firemen pre-
vented the spreading of the flames, which
were confined to the waste material.
large crowd of spectators assembled
and the police experienced considerable
trouble in keeping the curious ones out of
the way of the firemen. The latter sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames in a
short time and when the smoke had cleared
away the telegraph operators returned to

REPLY BY PRESIDENT CAssArT.
Charges Of Bituminous Coal Trade
League Are Denied.

president A. ]. Cassatt of the Pennsvl-
Vania Railroad Company said at Philadel-
phla yesterday that he had never heard Of
the Bftumfnous Coal Trade League Of
pennsylvania, which body presented q
memorial to the House of Representatives
at Washington on Tuesday He said that
II hardly seemed worth while to reply to
the charges made in the memorial, since
the complainants stated that they had no
Information upon which to base a suit at
law before the interstate commerce COM
mission"
Mr.. Cassatt said. first, that neither the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company nor my
self individually own or have any interest
In any bituminous coal mines; second
there Is no discrimination, either in rules
or in the car distribution or in the use Of
any other facilities Of the railroad, be-
tween miners and shippers over the Penn
sylyania railroad lines; third, there is no
soft coal trust as charged, and the
charges in the memorial are absolutely un-
founded or Intentionally misleading"
Mr.. Cassatt said that IL the complain
ants believed that any such state of affairs
existed, they could go to either the inter-
state commerce commission or the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor; that the
interstate commerce commi ssion was fully
empowered to inquire into the deal with
all alleged discriminating, and the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor had au-
thority to investigate any alleged combf-
nations in restraint Of trade.

MCCALL ISSUES DEFENSE.
Speaks, Through Son, for Himself
and Hamilton

John A. Mccall, ex-president of the New
YORK Life insurance Company, sent from
what may be his dedthbed at Lakewood
\. j., last night defense of his own work
in the company and OF his relations with
Andrew Hamilton. The statement was
made late yesterday afternoon to his son
John c. Mccall, ard others gathered in the
death chamber, and was passed on by Mr.
Mccall TO group of reporters in the lobby
of the Laurel House an hour or so later
IF It's Gods will. I'm ready to CO." Mr.
Mccall told his son. I've lived a clean life
I've rived my life as l saw it. No man
woman or child can say that / ever wronged
them
This was the family note made public
Pressed to make known whether his father
made any reference TO Hamilton, young Mr..
Mccall said:
My father has the greatest love and con-
hdence for Mr.. Hamilton. There was moth
ing wrong in Mr.. Hamilton's relations with,
my father or the company So great is his
trust in Mr.. Hamilton that If he were To
make his will today he would name him as
one of the executors.
1T was on my suggestion that l went
abroad to see Mr.. Hamilton Father agreed
with me. l brought back a report, as you
already know, and though ia ther was quite
i'll at the time, that report rallied him very
much. He got brighter and kept so for
several days"
regarding your fathers great Wealth. he
was asked.
My father is not wealthy man." was
the reply. ''At least he has no fabulous
wealth. He drew big salary, but lived up
to it. Besides. he paid $4,000 a year for
premiums his life to the New York Life
Insurance Company. Here let me add some
thing: When my father offered to make
restitution for certain discrepancies in Mr..
Hamilton's account he did that against the
protest of the board of trustees of the com
pany. They protested against his going on
The stand TO make such an offer"
rs 1t true" Mr. Mccall was asked, that
your fathers III health was FASTENED some
what by the Hamilton affair?'
Absolutely no." replied Mr.. Mccall with
great vlgor.
Mr.. Mccall said late last night, also. that
his father would not recover. He said the
entire family, except his mother, realized
the seriousness of his condition, and would
not be surprised at his death at any mo-
ment. Mrs. Mccall, however, is not &C
quainted with the alarming condition of her
husband, and she still confidently hopes that
he may survive his present troubles.
