BACK FROM THE PARK.
Manager Treweek of the Wabash
Inspects Little Bell.

After three or four days hustling
things at the Wabash cOLlpanys prop
erty, Park City, and after finding time to
spend three or four hours underground
at the Little Bell, Manager Nicholas Ire
week returned to the city last night. For
the next two or three days he will be up
TO his ears in work getting things in
shape for his business trip east, trip
which, II is understood. is more than
passing Importance to the Wabash COM
pany.
When seen last evening Colonel Treweek
stated that while conditions at the Wa
bash were most interesting and satisfac-
tory to him. he did not feel at liberty to
discuss them in detail at this time. That
good news would soon be coming he was
willing TO admit, but he considered that
Il would be premature to do any talking
new.
Last February, when Mr.. TTeweek Wis
tied the Little Bell property, he made the
statement that in his judgment the prop
erty was going to develop into one of the
Parks big mines. He was quoted to
that effect in this department. He stated
last night that his judgment had been
completely verified in the development
that has since taken place. 1t is now a
mine in fact, the colonel says. and the
production of rich ore that will be COM
Ing along when the bars are let down Will
supply the evidence to prove it.

mining company has actually entered
upOn the property Of another mining
and extracted ore.

Utah Stocks in Boston.

James A. Pollock & Co, bankers and
brokers, yesterday received over their
private wire from Paine, Weber & Co,
one of their Boston correspondents, the
record of sales of Utah stocks on the
Boston market. with range and closing
quotations:

sold at Shannon was again very active.

large amount of stock offered at $40.
\ little demand for Mohawk was in evil
dence and the stock was scarce. The
market has rallied for just a week now,
and we advise taking advantage of pres
ent prices, as reaction will probably
come in the next few days and traders
can make a good turn. Quotations:

chance of getting it out to the railroad
being with the teams that go into camp
with freight. Something over 300 sacks
are awaiting transportation and some
thing like 100 sacks a day are now being
filled at the mine with ore that is eX-
pected to speak eloquently for the value
of the district.

rainfall ever recorded in this locality
deluged Kansas City early Thursday

o'clock until I o'clock lacked only t
few hunjredths Of an inch of being
six inches.
The great bulk Of water wrought
damage throughout the city In low

ried from their foundations dozens
families were driven from their
homes, and the rivers that swept the
streets blockaded early morning ira:

cemetery released torrent OF water
that burst open graves and uncover

come entrapped in flooded buildings
or to save furniture and personal et'

ARMY is ToP-HEAvY.
Gen. Greedy In His Report to War
Department Says There Are Too
Many BrIGadiers.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The report
OF Major General Greedy, command
ing the department Of the Pacific,
criticislng the present arrangement
of divisions and department Of the
army has caused considerable discus
sion in the war department and Off
GERS are wondering what will be the
effect when congress takes up the
subject again. 1t is said that the re-
port emphasizes the point several
times made that with six major gen
erals Of the line and IL brigadier
generals Of the line, great difficulty
is found in finding places for them
commensurate with their rank. One
reason for creating four divisions was
10 give places for major generals, the
departments being commanded by
brigadlers. General Greedy makes It
appear that there is no necessity for
such dual commands, as the depart
ments now report direct to the war
department and the division com
manders do not know what has been
done. It Is also said that extra staff
Officers are required who might well
be dispensed with should the old de-
partment method be resumed. Under
present conditions there are two ma
jor generals stationed at Governors
island. There is q major general and
brigadier general at San Francisco
Naturally II seems the duties are not
such as to require two general Off.
GERS at one place, with a full set Of
Officers, such as are attached to ey'
cry division and every department
There is an intimation that the
Greedy report may suggest some
changes In the present Arny organi
sation.

AGREE ON A BILL,
Insurance Commissioners at St Pau.
Have a Plan to Reduce Cost and
Create a Safe Reserve.
STRIKES At ROOT OF EVIL.
They Recommend . Law By the
Various states Requiring an An-
nuaI ApportiOnment and AO-
counting Of the Surplus.

st. Paul, Aug. 25.-Millions will be
held in reserve for the policyholdera
Of life insurance companies and the
cost OF insurance will be materially
lowered IL q bill approved by the In
surance commissioners at their SEES
sion Friday meets with the approval
Of the various legislatures next win
ter.
The bill, which requires an annual
aportionment and accounting Of sur
plus of life insurance companies. It is
maintained by many Of the commits
sioners, strikes at the root Of oil the
evil Of the life insurance company
management by holding their officers
accountable for the enormous surplus
funds accumulated under the deferred
dividend contracts under which nearly
all Of the large companies operate.
Some animated discussion followed
the introduction Of q bill by Mr.. Host
which was deemed too radical for
most of the commissioners present.
After some substantial changes,
however, the bill requiring an account
ing and distribution Of surplus was
adopted. 1t Is thought that this bill,
II passed by all Of the states, will do
more toward securing the economical
management Of insurance companies
than anything else The commission.
ers believe that the competition
which exists between the companies
will make them eager to show larger
credit of dividends to the policyhOld.
ers than their competitors. This will
result, 1t is declared, in substantial
decrease in the expense Of manage
ment and will also prevent the man
agement from using the accumulated
surplus for speculation or for private
emoluments, such as recent investiga-
lions by the Armstrong commission
revealed.
The bill provides that every life
insurance company conducted on the
mutual plan or in which poIlcyholders
are entitled to share in the profits or
surplus, shall make an annual appor-
tionment and accounting Of Invisible
surplus TO each policyholder begin.
ming on or before the second policy
year or on all participating policies
hereafter issued and each such policy
holders shall be entitled to and be
credited with or paid in q manner
provided such a portion Of the entire
Invisible surplus as has been contrib
uted thereto BY his policy. Another
important feature Of the bill is q
clause provided for q contingency re-
serve fund on a sliding scale Of per
centages such as has recently been
enacted by the New York legislature.
This contingency reserve f,lhd is to
guard against unforeseen contingen-
cles and fluctuation Of assess.

Developments at siedIace, PoIands
Almost Exactly Parallel the Pre-

land, where events seem to be shaping
up for the outbreak Of pogrom SINH

ments parallel almost exactly the pre-

A long series of revolutionary and
terroristic signs have been attributed

Jewish society as q mark Of Its dis
approval Of the assassination. A sim
liar incident occurred at Bialystok.
It now develops that after the ex-
plosion of a bomb In street OF the
Hebrew quarter and which, according
to the official explanation was &C.
companied by revolver firing from
four Jewish houses, the troops opene4
general fusillade in which seven
Jews and one Christian were killed
and many wounded. Thirty-thres
Jews were arrested on the spot on sus-
picion of completely In the bomb

ic are fleeing from the city.
Siedlice is in the province Of the
same name, which adjoins the prov
ince of Grodno, In which Bialystok Is
olcated and the two cities are about
60 miles apart.
