OF the leading life insurance companies
were disinclined yesterday TO discuss the
recommendations OF the Armstrong investi-
eating committee embodied i'm its report
made public at Albany yesterday, their
reason being that they had not had enough
time to master the details of the report.
Among those who declined to say any
thing al all at this time were President
Paul Morton OF the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society and President Peabody of the
Mutual.
Vice President Gage T.. Tarbell of the
Equitable said he would make a statement
only after he had thoroughly read and di-
gested the report.
Alexander f. Orr. president OF the New
York Life, said: My active connection
with life insurance companies is of such
recent date that I would hesitate to express
an opinion OH such an important subject
this report in it's bearing on insurance
until l have consulted with the actuares
and experts of my company and learned
their opinion. After | have seen them l

Frederick Cromwell, treasurer Of the Mu-
tual Life, could not be reached last night.

Senator Tillman, who was designated by
the committee tu-report the Hepburn bill,
said after the committee adjourned:
Ii was an unexpected and in one sense
an undesired honor and responsibility that
able | will endeavor to secure the passage
of the bill through the senate with such
amendments which will make II more &C
ceptable to the business interests -of the
c5uptry and remedy tho evils which have
caused such widespread criticism. SThe

Senator Tillman said that one of the
most essential amendments he should en-
deavor to procure looks to 1.-THE absolute
divorce of public carriers. as SUCH from
the production of coal. miners, which,
condition of monopoly had created such
strong feeling of dissatisfaction and anger
i'm the bituminous and anthracite coal

He has already drafted an amendment
covering this point He said that some
thing ought to be done TO compel the trunk
lines to make connections with the spurs
and feeding lines and give them fair treat
ment in the distribution OF cars ana oHcr
equal facilities with other shippers.
Senator Tillman stated that in making
the report on the bill he would not pre-
pare a formal analysis for presentation to
the senate, but a report that would simply
transmit the action TO the senate together
with the synopsis OF the Testimony taken
before the committee. He has not yet taken
into consideration the question of bringing
the bill before the senate, but said he
would press II with the view of having
the discussion commenced as soon as con-
venient and possible.
"SOIecism." Says EIkins.
senator Elkins characterized il as a
''solecism" to have DEMOCRAT report from
republican committee to republican
senate bill which had been reported by
republican committee in the house and
passed by republican house. He believed
that the bill should have been in charge
of Senator Douiver. who has insisted that

''When / was stationed in Burmah, l uset
to spend good deal of my spare time ex
amnng diamonds, which are mostly to b.
found in the temples. The priests couldn',
understand an enthusiasm like mine; they
thought | wanted either to steal or to wor

everything of interest in my part OF the coun

reports of a most wonderful diamond that wa
in the hands of some up-country tribe. Iht
reports as 30 the position and name OF thu
people varied, and the diamond grew to t
huge size. In short, all that could MAKE
out was that the people were quite unclvil

"There the matter remained until one day,
| met a German who had been collecting in
the interior for some geological society we
got talking about diamonds, and | proposed
have it, he had visited this very place.. and
was able to assure me of the existence of the
diamond 1t was only to be seen once year,
upon the great tribal feast-day, when it was
carried in procession round the temple. He
did not know whether | could get into the
temple at the time-in any case, it would be
a risky business; the tribe were a Buddhist
sect, as fanatical they are uncivilized, and
did not care to have strangers intruding upon

about the journey, and continued his own
march down to the coast.
"After some deliberation. I determined to

case should probably get some shooting on
the road; so obtained six weeks leave, got
some porters together, and started
"We had terrible march; l shall never
forget it. My native guide said that he knew
a short cut. For whole days we ploughed
through swamp, sometimes up to our waists,
scarcely doing mile an hour. Then, when
we got to the village where my interpreter
lived, we found him gone. / had half mind
to give the whole thing up, the more so as we
were rather behind our time. However, an
other interpreter put in an appearance, and
determined to make push for it, The road

had previously traversed; but vegetation
grows so furiously in that climate, that we
often were obliged to spend valuable time cut
ting passage over ground which my German
friend must have passed only two months
previously.
"The result of all this delay was that
we reached the chief village of the tribe only
the evening before the great festival. There
was no time to fraternize with the priests, or
to try bribery. l therefore informed my
interpreter that I intended to enter the tenn
pie in disguise. The man held up his hands in
horror at the bare idea, and did all he could
to dissuade me. But 1 had not come that
weary journey merely to go home again, and
determined to be present at the ceremony,

words of the language that might not be

great contrast to the squat novels which
composed the town. l should Judge that the
tribe had entered into the labors of some
earlier civilization. | entered the pagoda, and
found myself pressed tight amid an evil-smell-

something and slip away unnoticed The
