M'CALL QUITS NEW YORK LIFE
Times Says He Has Resigned and
Paid 1885, .OOO to Cover Ham
iItOn's Shortage.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Times tomor-
row will say; Although neither John A
Mccall nor any member of his family would
discuss the matter, positive confirmation
was obtained that Mr.. Mccall had resigned
the presidency of the New York Life In
surance company.
With it came information that Mr. Mccall
had already turned over 70 the company
a check for s235, 900, covering the money
that Andrew Hamilton received in 1901 and
which is yet unaccounted for in detail. II
was also learned that Alexander L. Orr
would probably succeed Mr.. Mccall as
president Of the company.
Mr. McCalis payment of the S235 900
charged against Andrew Hamilton followed
upon the receipt of the report OF the New
York Life's legislative manager. which
John c. Mccall brought home from Paris
last week. 1t has already been made known
that the Fowler committee did not con-
slider Hamiltons statement satisfactory.
Accordingly, President Mccall has made
good his pledge to refund the amount Of
the Hamilton payments OF 1904, Irrespective
of Hamilton's offer TO put up 10000 pend
ing final settlement Of the account
In case of a final adjustment between
Hamilton and the company 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Mccall will receive from
Hamilton whatever the latter would other
wise have turned into the New York Life.

WINTER TURNS OVER NEW LEAF
snowstOrm Begins Early In the Even
ing and Lasts Throughout
the Night.

Winter turned over a new leaf on New
Years day, and decided to get busy" in
proper season. Not for several weeks
had Omaha seen a flake of snow and the
has resembled the latter part
of mild fall. About Q o'clock last night
pedestrians were able to make out num-
Der of white tufts blowing through the air.
AS the minutes passed they became more
numerous, until 1t was not long before
the city was in the grasp of what could
really be termed snowstorm. 1t was
quite novelty and many people got out
on the streets just for the pleasure of
walking on the hite-planketed walks
pleasure of which they had thus far been
deprived this season. For 1t was the first
fall of snow in the city of sufficient pro-
portions to be given the name of snow
storm. The temperature hovered about
the freezing point all night, but only the
snow on the walks and crossings disap-
peared. There was a steady fall until
after midnight and at 3 o'clock there
was still a trace of fall, by which time
the ground was we'll covered. The street
car company sent out snowplows early In
the game and kept the tracks clear, so that
no trouble was experienced in running
cars according to schedule.

MANIFESTO BY CHAMBERLAIN
Unionist Leader Outlines His Policy
of Colonial Preference-PrOposes
Tax on Foreign wheat.

LONDON, Jan. Joseph Chamberlain
ed his election manifesto today After
rousy attacking the new government,
ch he describes as being essentially 6
ie rule, little Englander government,
ending for its existence on irish votes,
G-votes himself entirely to an expo
on of his fiscal policy, and especially to
subject of colonial preference which
speaks of as the first item in the con-
lctive program of the unionist party,
second item, closely connected with the
t, being the policy of retaliation. He
lares that colonies will not wait in
initely, but will be forced to enter into
arrangements with strangers. He points
out that the scheme of colonial preference
Will include a provision for a small tax on
foreign wheat, but says that as both home
grown and colonial wheat will be free and
the supply from the colonies unlimited,
the price of bread will not be increased in
the slightest degree.
Mr.. Chamberlain declares that he be-
lieves the unionist party to be absolutely
agreed regarding these aims though he
admits that there may be some differences
of opinion when the time comes to dis
cuss the methods from which these aims
are to be accomplished. He says, however,
that these differences of opinion probably
are exaggerated and that they are mat
ters more of verbal distinction than of
practical Importance. Continuing, Mr..
Chamberlain says:
believe our objects can be fully attained
by moderate general tariff scientifically
adapted to the existing conditions OF our
trade and arranged as To secure the
largest amount of employment at fair wages
for our people. 1t would necessarily pro-
vide for the free admission of raw ma
terials and of articles which we do not
market ourselves, while 1t would place a
toll on the manufacturers of those coun-
tries which do not treat us fairly.
Our policy is constructive ana practical
while the policy of our opponents is de-
structive anI theoretical.

MOVE FOR SECRET BALLOT
Feature I'm New York SpeRkership
Contest that May Upset All
Calculations.

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 1.-The test OF
strength In the caucus of republican as
semblymen tomorrow night will probably
be taken, not directly in a vote upon the
candidates for the nomination for speaker
of the assembly, but upon the question of
whether the vote on, the speakership nomi-
nation shall be a secret vote. The utmost
resources of both sides in the contest are
now concentrated upon that single point.
Its importance is evident in the light of the
fact that the pledges hitherto obtained
from the individual members had reference
only to the support of this candidate or
that. The issue OF secret ballot for
speaker sprang into existence late this
afternoon and visbly disturbed all the
comparative certainties which had been
supposed to exist
Leaders of the movement for the nominal
ton of James w. Wadsworth. jr., of Liv-
ingston, who was selected by Governor
Higgins his choice. admits that IL they
cannot prevent secret ballot they cannot
secure Mr.. Wadsworth's nomination by
caucus. On the other hand the adherents
of Edwin A. Merritt. jr. OF st. Lawrence
changed their previous tactics OF claiming
that they could defeat Wadsworth even IL
they could not elect Merritt and began
to assert that they were certain of votes
enough to secure n secret ballot.
At last accounts tonight the best in
formed observers on both sides agreed
that in an open ballot or roll call OF re-
publican assemblymen in the existing con-
dltion OF affairs Mr. Wadsworth would be
elected Both sides agreed also that upon
a secret ballot the result would be very
different
State Chairman Odell had little to say
tonight except in his opinion Mr. Merritt
was steadily gaining in strength and would
secure the nomination. Mr.. Wadsworth
himself reiterated his statement that he
had personal pledges enough to elect him.
