FIRE INSURANCE PLANS.
Chicago Outlook is optimistic-Few
Failures.

CHICAGO. April 2s.-The Tribune today
says: Owing to the solicitude that Is ex-
pressed by the public as to the possible flu
ture OF the fire insurance companies whose
policies they possess or who are anxious as
to the character of their indemnity. 1t Is
but Just to state that from the best pos
sible information that can be gathered no
company will fail and leave its policies un-
protected If there are failures there will
be not more than one or two and they will
be minor cases.
Every possible avenue has been opened
to enable underwriters to reach the con-
clusion that while number OF companies
are reinsuring their business, yet the
chance of failure Is remote. The. COM
panies operating In San Francisco are Of a
high grade and their stockholders have per-
sonai regulations to protect. II COM
pany reInsures as some already have done,
their business win be better protected than
It was before because only the stronger
companies are reinsuring others. There
fore q polIcyholder whose original COM
pany has reinsured has back Of the policy
greater assets and surplus than before.

FRESH DISASTER IN THE REGION

NAPLES April 2S.-Oceans of mud
brought from the mountain side by tor
rental rains Friday night practically
submerging the Vesuvius region. The sit

misery, and If 1t rains again soon it will
be absolutely hopeless. The recent erup-

old water channels, a torrent of rain Fri
day night had thousands of outlets In all
directions, and, carrying black mud with It,
broke up bridges, weakened houses at the
bases as the ashes had already done on the
roofs, inundated streets. contaminated

POINTING 10 THE GOVERNMENT.

ST. PETERsBuRGaA April 2s-ofhcial re-
suits of the elections to the national par
lament yesterday and today are as fol-
lows: Members of the center, 80; men,
bers of the left. g.; members OF the right. 8.
and 80 mmbers whose denomination has
not been determined. Fifty-seven elections
will take place tomorrow.
The elections of yesterday show that the
tide against the government Is rising in
stead of subsiding, for instead OF more
conservative element, the candidates efct-
ed are even more radical in their opinions
than those chosen April 8. A notable fea-
ture Of the result of the election Is the In
crasing radical character of the represen-
tatives chosen by the peasants without the
participation of other classes. In many
cases, the peasants named representative
with views which are even more extreme
than those held by the constitutional demo-
Gratis. At Saratoff, the capital OF the prov
ince of that name, which has been center
of the Agrarian agitation, the peasants
chose some of their number who are now
on their way to exile In Siberia.
The government has been trying desper-
ateiy to win the support Of the peasants.
realizing that without IL the government
will be In hopeless position. During the
preparations for the meeting of pariia-
ment the government will practically de-
vote its entire attention to appeasing the
peasants. The plan for the solution of the
land question, which rs the keystone of its
policy, is not yet finished, but tine minister
of justice has completed the projects for a
Law which VIII be introduced into parlia-

to remove the evils of village adn1inistra-

BRITISH ARE INUENSED
PATIENCE OVER TABAH ARFAIn
Is ABOUT ExHAUsTED.

LONDON. April 2S-The patience OF Great
Britain with Turkey over the Tabah affair
Is about exhausted. and It was understood
at the foreign Office today ii the sultan DOES
not soon accede TO the British demands
there will be another demonstration before
Turkish port within a short time. Some
months have elapsed since the Egyptian
government discovered that Turkish troops
had occupied Tabah. heretofore considered
to be an unimportant port at the head OF
the gulf of Akabah.
Turkey. so Great Britain believes, occu-
pied Tabah because she feared that Egypt.
which proposed to extend a short line OF
railroad to that port would obtain control
of the gulf Of Akabah But Great Britain
claims that this Is far from being the in
of Tabah was discovered Egypt asked Tuf-
key for an explanation, and the sultan in
reply contended that Tabah was within his
empire. This was disputed. but Great
Britain offered to submit the question OF the
boundary de1imftati0n to commission, Tur-
key in the meantime TO withdraw her troops.
The sultan declined this OFFER. but offered
to negotiate with Lord Cronaer, the British
agent at Cairo
The British government acceded to this.
but was astonished to learn, when the me-
gotiations opened that the Turkish COM
missioners at Cairo. In behalf Of the sultan.
claimed half of the Sinai peninsula, and
stubbornly adhered to his demand that the
half of the Sinai peninsula. which is consid-
cred to be a buffer state of Egypt, Is Turk
ish territory. and that 1t be given over to
the sultan.
Taking Up Case With Porte.
Egypt refused to do SO, the negotiations
were broken Off and the foreign Office here
will take UP the case with the porte. Thus
far no communication has been sent to Con-
stantinople on the subject. Great Britain
being first anxious to ascertain whether the
sultan authorized the Turkish commits
sioner at Cairo to claim half of the Sinai
peninsula.
This has been found to be most difficult as
the British ambassador has been unable to
see the sultan, who is either i'll or feigning
illness.
Turkeys attitude is the cause of much
pared to take the most severe measures to
protect Egyptian territory. There are
many theories as to what Is influencing
Turkey. The British foreign Office holds
that the Turkish commissioner at Cairo Is
largely responsible for the present situa-
ton, and that he probably has been led
by German scientists and merchants at
Cairo to believe that Germany will support
ever to be no ground for some of the press
statements that Germany is actually SO
doing.
King Edward and Sir Charles Hardinge
the permanent undersecretary of the for
eign office, will return to London early
next week. when a meeting of the council
will be held and possibly final steps in the
matter may be taken to impress the sultan
with the necessity for the withdrawal of
his demands.
The British cruiser Minerva left Port Said
for Ell Arish today in order to ascertain
whether it Is true that the Turks have re-
moved the boundary posts at certain points.

Evidence of this will be seen in the work
OF the jury of selection of this year. Many
burdensome traditions have been aban-
doned and new rules passed since the be-
ginning OF this century. but none so far
reaching as those adopted this spring.

leaving for the great mass little choice OF
place except skywards.
BY the new rules all must now receive a
number for place on strict equality. Favor
itism has also been abolished in other direc-
lions as well. Many who have been first
are now last, and many are cast into outer
darkness II Is rather hard for these last,
but infinitely good for all true lovers of
art and strenuous effort.
The salon is good throughout, but a Sc
riOus examination OF the merits of each
picture worthy OF note would be imposs1-

remarkable works:

question Asked by Operators.

THE question is asked by the operators,
Where Is the advance to come from II 1t is
rot charged up to the consumer of domestic
coal? 1t occurred to me that the small
advance proposed by the miners might have
been taken off the exorbitant freight rates
charged by them. What the outcome Will
be cannot be predicted until the convention
IS held.
Personally i am much disappointed, and
| am sure all mine employees expected more
consideration than they have received.
President Mitchell said he has called a
meeting of the miners subscale committee
TO meet here or at Scranton on Monday.
and the latest reply of the operators will
be submitted to the committee. Mr.. Mitch
ell would not say whether all correspond
ence with the operators was at a nend He
will remain here until Tuesday, when he
will go to Scranton to be in readiness for
the convention of miners, which meets
there on Thursday next
