TERMS ARE DRASTIC
REPORT OF THE JOINT STATE IN.
SURANCE INVESTIGATION OF
THE NEW YORK LIFE.

New York, Feb. St is said on
good authority, according to a morning
paper, that the report of the insur-
ance commissioners of Tennessee, Min
nesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Ken
lucky On their examination into the
affairs Of the New York Life Insur-
ance company is most drastic and de-
mands the resignation of several per-
sons still connected with the COM
pany.
1t also. according to this authority,
threatens the New York Life with ex-
pulsion from the states concerned in
the examination unless the demands
are met. The paper adds:
1T is also learned that the docu-
1nent which the outside commissioners
have adopted as their final report diff
fers considerably from the one which
was originally drawn.
.'The first report, it is said, was re-
garded by Commissioners Host of
Wisconsin and Pierce Of Nebraska as
altogether too mild and they demand
81 6 complete revision. These two
com lliSsiOners, it is understood, sue
ceeded in lmpressing their views upon
the other three, with the result that
the report hits out without gloves at
every vulnerable officer and trustee"

the aid Of the officers and crew, the
fire was not entirely extinguished un-
til 4 o'clock in the morning. The

PATTERSON PROTESTS
COLORADO SENATOR REFUSES TO
BE DICTATED TO BY DEMO-
CRATIC CAUCUS.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Mr. Patterson
(Colo.) caused a sensation in the SEN
ate by introducing a resolution rela-
tive to the rights of senators in voting
upon treaties.
MI. Patterson's resolution recited
that the action of the Democratic cau-
Gus in debating to senators how they
should vote was plain violation of
the spirit and intent of the Constitu-
ton of the United States; that each
senator was entitled to one vote and
any attempt to coerce him was an in.
vasion of the rights of state; that
any senator who permits himself to be
So coerced weakens and degrades his
state; that for any senator to vote
otherwise than as his sense Of duty
dictates degrades his high Office and
assails the dignity and standing of the
senate.
The resolution was listened to with
great interest by the senators.
Mr.. Tillman objected to the present
consideration Of the Patterson reso-
luton unless it was question Of per-
sonal privilege. Mr.. Patterson said it
was not and gave notice that he would
discuss the resolution later.

SEEKS A SEPARATION
COUNTESS DE CASTELLANE, FOR.
MERLY MISS GOULD, BRINGS
SUIT FOR DIVORCE.

Paris, Feb. 5.-Countess Boni de
Castellane formerly Anna Could en-
tered a plea for divorce during the
day. Representatives of the countess
and the count appeared before a judge
who, according to the French law, en-.
deavored to arrange a concilia ton be-
fore allowing a definite suit TO pro-
coed. 1t is said that the judges efforts
were not successful and that the suit
will proceed, but owing to the secrecy
in divorce proceedings here it. is diff.
cult to confirm this report.
RumOrs have been current for a. long
time that the countess had decided
that any further continuation of her
relations with her husband was impos-
slble and her removal from the Cas-
tellane residence to hotel in the cen
ter of Paris gave support to the belief
that she had finally decided to apply
for a divorce. Sensational reports
have been. circulated with reference
10 the counts conduct and the name
OF prominent society leader of Paris,
a woman OF very high standing, has
been mentioned in connection with
the affair. But the greatest reticence
has been maintained by all the par.
ties concerned relative to the progress
Of the Negotiations looking to a con-
Citation. The count is said to be in
the southeast of France.

S.. :assc:oncs 100000 miners will
quit work April / in an effort to en-
force the demand for an increased
wage scale.
At the final session of the joint con-
ference OF operators and miners a
motion made by F. L. Robbins. the
spokesman for the operators, that the
present wage scale be continued, was
lost, as it required under the rules
unanimous vote to carry any of the
principal propositions. Operators of
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania voted
Tor the motion; Illinois operators de-
clined TO vote The miners OF Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois voted against the
proposition. Patrick Dolan, president
OF the Pennsylvania miners, voted his
state for the proposition, which caused
AL uproar among the miners. His
right to vote the Pennsylvania miners
for the continuance of the present
scale i'll spite of the fact that the
an increase Yves challenged by several
other Pennsylvania miners, but on an
appeal to the chair the votes was so
recorded. The motion to adjourn sine
die was made by F. L. Robbins imme-
diately following the announcement
that the proposition of the operators
as embodied in his motion had been
defeated.
President Mitchell has declared that
under 10 circumstances would the
miners accept any agreement that did
not carry with it an increase in wages
and the miners convention has unani.
tnously, with the exception of three
votes, endorsed the action of the
joint scale committee which refused

STOPS GRAIN SHIPMENTS.
New German Tariff Will Be in Effect
March I.


New York. Feb 3.-The rate on
heavy grain from New York to Ham,
burg by direct steamer has been cut
from He cents to 1871 cents for the
second half OF February loading, with
out inducing the engagement of a
single bushel.
Owing to the new German tariff,
which goes into effect March 1 and
which imposes the maximum duties
on American grain imported into that
country, the steamers sailing from
New York for German ports up to the
middle Of February, the brokers say,
carry large amount of grain.
They are inclined, however, to think
that very little of our grain will find
its way to Germany during the few
succeeding weeks.

ANALYZING WATER.
Many Samples Come to the
College for Test-Prison
Lard with Ta1low Content.

There has been big rush at Il .
chemical laboratory at the college
for several weeks past in the ana
lyzation of waters. Samples of
water in use and for proposed use
for domestic purposes have been re-
ceived from cities in all parts OF the
state for analysis. The realization
that pure water is an important
consideration IN life has been made
emphatic by events of recent oc-
curence in the state, and the var
ious communities are becoming
more and more alive to the fact.
The lead by Corvallis in the in
stallation of a Mountain water sys-
tenn has set other localities to con.
sidering the subject, and the con-
sequence of it all is that a largely
increased number of samples of
water for analysis is reaching the
lOAC chemists. Some of the
samples prove to be good water
and others are discovered to be
totally unfit for use, showing that
without knowledge of the fact,
many a community is consuming
water that is a fruitful source of dis
ease, Among other waters recent.
ly received for analysis was a sam
pie from the Eugene water system.
1t was not analyzed because re-
ceived too long a period after il
was taken from the mains, and also
because of the absence of Prof
Pernot, from whom bacteriologic.
al analysis in particular was want
led.
No fee is charged for the ana
lysis of waters, the work being fol

pect the college is giving to ths
state a valuable service aside from
its educational work. A grea
deal of the work in the chemica

quence was subsequently condemn

CONCERNING PAUPERS.
In Benton-A Grand Jury's
Report Thereon-Advised
New Arrangements.

The grand jury at the April
term of the circuit court visited the
Benton poor farm, and made a re-
port. The report led to the pur-
chase by the Waters court of q
farm and to a plan of keeping the
paupers thereon. The report in
full is as follows:
We have made a careful and ex.
ten>ive investigation into the con-
ditions at the poor farm and the
treatment received by the inmates
thereof, and find as follows: That
proper care, nursing. and medical
treatment is not furnished the in
mates during sickness nor to those
unable to care for themselves; that
the keeper of the farm is accustom-
ed to give drugs and medicines 9th
er than simple household remedies
to the inmates without proper pre-
scriptions and does not uniformly
obey the instructions of the county
physician with re ference to medical
treatment of patieuts who are in
mates OF the poor farm.
"Tbat the sanitary conditions
are poor and cleanliness of person
and SUR oundings on the part of
the inmates is not enforced. That
the inmates are comfortably boused
and clothed and that food furnished
is sufficient in quality and quantity
but that ii is not always cleanly nor
properly cooked by reason of the
fact that the cooking islargely done
by an epileptic charge of the county
who is not fit person TO perform
such services. We recommend that
the county officers Immediately take
steps to enforce a more careful
compliance with the contract for
keeping the county charges with
reference to the above matters and
that at the expiration of such con-
tract the same be not renewed with
the present keeper of the county
charges unless the above objections
have been remedied.
"We recommend that the county
charges be kept at some place neal
the county seat if practicable, and
we recommend to the careful anc
favorable consideration of the
county court the purchase of a site
and erection of a building for hous.
ing and keeping such charges ane
the proper furnishing thereof by tn,
county. We further recommend
that in future contracts the matter
of medical treatment and the fur
nishing of medicines or drugsto in
mates be excluded and not pro
vided for therein, and that prope,
arrangements be made independen
of such contract therefor.
