TAKING MORE HOPEFUL VIEW
Better Prospects of Securing Share in
 AIanchurian Trade.

Pekin, June 24.-The leading comn1er- cial men are now taking more hopeful view of the prospects for securing a share of the trade of Manchuria, and it appears that the Japanese government seems willing to fulfill its promise of an open door in that country; at least it has shown better disposition than the military authorities. There has been friction between the civil and military authorities concerning the policy to be pursued as to foreign trade privileges in Manchuria. The civil authorities are more liberal, and it is believed that when the military establishment is withdrawn foreigners will be given greater freedom.
 The newspapers urge the establish ment of Chinese customs at Daily to collect duties on good destined for the interior, on the same basis as the ar engagement with Germany at Kiaochou.

PANAMA ELECTIONS ORDERLY.
Few Free Flights Occur Without seri-
 Ous Results.

Panama, June 24-The elections to- day were orderly, with the exception of few free fights which were without serious results until late this afternoon, when clash took place between liber- als and policemen who were protecting ballot boxes at Santa Ana park. Nine policemen and Jose Antonio Paredes, a member of one of the best families in Panama, were badly wounded, and one liberal was killed. Fifty armed police men restored order, but It is believed serious fighting may take place tonight unless marines are landed from the United States cruiser Marblehead.
 Governor Magoon and Captain George R. Shanton, chief of police in the canal zone, were prominent at all places dur ing the day, and their presence un- doubtedly prevented much trouble.
 No disturbances have been reported at other places in the republic.
 The constitutional party was victori- ous in Panama city and the provinces of Coole, Veragua and Chiriqui.

Party--suit May Result.
 Darien, June 24.-A large touring car containing five men was fired on, it is said, by special officer as the car was going through Darien last night. It is claimed that the machine was going at a good speed, but not sufficiently fast to attract special attention. It is said that when the party had reached a cer- tain spot in the road a man, who, 1t is said, afterwards proved to be Special Officer Martin F. Oppmer, stepped for ward, waved a red flag and called on the car to stop This, it is said, the driver did not do at once, but as he was preparing to slow down it is claimed that the special officer drew a revolver and began firing at the car. The driver then put on all speed, 1t is said, and did not stop until Norwalk was reached. There 1t was found that three bullets had pierced the lower part of the car and that one ball had struck the gaso- line tank The autoists refused to give their names, but it is believed the party came from New Jersey.

STATE INSURANCE REPORT
ANNUAL STATEMENT SUBMIT
 TED TO THE GOVERNOR.
Thirty-one Companies Now Licensed to Do Life Business--NO Assessment Life COmpanies--Conditi of Secret or FraternaI Societies to be Submitted About July IS.

| Hartford, June 24.-4nsurance Com missioner Theron Upson has submitted his report for the year 1905 to Cover nor Roberts, covering the business done by all the insurance companies author | ized to transact business in the state. That part of the commissioners re- port dealing with the condition and af- fair of secret or fraternal societies will be submitted about July 15. The commissioner presents in full the flg- ures showing the results of his examin- ation of the various companies and they show big decrease in business over the figures of year ago.
 There are thirty4one companies li- censed to do insurance in this state on the level premium plan and there are no assessment life companies The to- tai premiums of these companies in this state, other states and industrial show an increase of $40, ,960, ,009 for 1905 over 1904 and the total income an in- crease of $44,O91 .459. The total amount paid to policy holders in 1905 was ESQ., 613,330 more than in 1904 and the total disbursements $16,057, ,728 more.
 The Connecticut companies issued 1149 per cent, of the total number of policies and HAS per cent. of the total amount of ordinary insurance issued In this state during 1905. The industrial policies issued In this state during the year were S4.70 per cent. in number and 1882 per cent. in amount of the total.
 Tn the business in Connecticut, Com missioner Upson shows that while there is an increase in the claims paid in 1905 over those of 1904 to the extent of $22,- 665.26 there is a decrease in the pre- miurns received amounting to $S3. .9S2. .97.
 Tn commenting upon the situation Commissioner Upson says:
 "The table of business in Connecti- cut shows a very unusual condition of affairs. Instead of an increase of bus mess in this state during the past year there has been a marked decrease in comparison with the preceding years. Doubtless this falling off Is the result | of the astonishing revelations made in the course of the investigation of the life insurance companies of New York by the committee appointed by the leg islature of that state"
 Commissioner Upson speaks of the recent amendments and additions made to the New York insurance laws which formed code more drastic in it's re- Quirements than any similar body of law enacted either In this country or abroad, He said that Connecticut com panies have neither the inclination nor the opportunity to indulge in the prac- tices which have been the main cause of public csnsure in the case of the great New York corporations.

The sermon marked the beginning of the eightyffth conn msmoement of Amherst. Presidant Har- ris' text was Prov. xxi, 1: "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches" He said in part:
 This generation of cur countrymen is advancing ethically; its moral stand ards are rising standards. It may seem otherwise. It may seem as though there never was so much unfaithful- ness, never a time when So many men in public positions have enriched them selves unfairly. But think of the pro test. It is a protest to demand, com polling legislatures to make laws that shall be enforced, to clean out the vile ness and rottenness of dtshonesty Our

At Trinity.

Hartford, June M,--President F. s. Luther of Trinity delivered the bacca4 laureate sermon to Trinity sermons in Christ church, Hartford, to-day. He took for his text: I. Cor.,. xii, 6.-"C Char ity re5oiced not in iniquity; but retoices in the truth" He referred to moral i'm portance of truth in the exercise of business principles and said that many men in the later business of life, love that power to rejoice in the truth which consecrates intellectual growth. This" he said, is the conspicuous danger of the college man as he under takes the conduct of his own life
 Tt has not escaped public attention that, last year, the baccalaureate ser mons mostly discussed a single subject and that this year the same is true All those who office 1t is to say a final word to the classes of 1906 are treating the same subject. With few exceptions the preachers are not only treating the same questions but they are treating them in the same manner and present. ing the same answers. All, with vari- ous texts, and each in his own way, are pointing out the great fact that chari- ty, love, religion, re1oiceth in the truth. One would hardly have expected e tri- umph joyful anthem to be chanted over discoveries that humihate a great na- tion."
