ARcHpUKE. OTTO OF AUSTRIA.

AHCHDUkE OTTO OF AUSTRIA. (NobIeman Who Has Been overtaken
 by a Tragic Fate.)
 whose children by his morgaaatic mar riage are deharred from the success sion.
 Archduke Otto during his earlier years enjoyed life with reckless dis. regard to all proprieties. On one oc. casion he was riding in . rural dis. trict when he met funeral process sion. He compelled the bearers to deposit the coffin in the center of the road, whereupon he leaped over 1t on horseback and proceeded on his way rejoicing.
 Soon after his marriage with Prin- cess Maria Josepha, sister of the present king of Saxony, he was blind drunk in his own palace in the com pany of score of dissipated young officers. When the revelry reached its height Otto exclaimed: Gentle men. if you would like to see how a royal princess of the blood looks in bed l will conduct you to my wife's room" They had almost reached the door when the archduke's own aid. de-camp drew his sword and said: "Your imperial highness will only go further over my dead body" Arch duke Otto turned back from his de sign, but no credit was due him per sonally for so doing.
 When a member of the Austrian parliament, Pernerstorfer, denounced the archdukes proceedings in the reichsrath, Otto hired three rufflans who forced an entrance into Perner- storfer's house in broad daylight, gagged his servant and locked her up and then beat Pernerstorfsr himself almost to death.
 More recently Otto. in a state of helpless drunkenness. appeared in a fashionable restaurant in Vienna wearing northing but his officers cap and a sword attached to a belt around his waist. A great Austrian noble man who was present with his wife immediately complained to the emper- or, who is said to have summoned his nephew and boxed his ears.
 A terrible punishment overlook him at the age of 3s. when cancer in the throat. due directly to the mode of life which he had led. made its ap- pearance. Since then the archduke has been slowly dying. His suffer ings during these three years have been appalling. He lives almost alone in a comparatively small residence not far from the Austra-German frontier. His wife never goes near him. nor s-e his t-o ems allowed to visit him

SAN FRANCISCO LOSSES
INSURANCE COMPANIES TO SET
TILE INDEPENDENTLY.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-The insur-
ance companies will settle their losses in
their own way, each company acting for
itself according to the contracts embodied
in its policies, and the fire underwriters ad-
1usting bureau will make no attempt to
dictate a general policy or lay down uni
form rules for the companies to observe in
the settlement of claims, according to a
statement made yesterday by Attorney It.
c. Coogan, who is legal adviser to the ad-
1usting bureau The adjusting bureau is
merely to act as a board of appraisers in
dealing with claims and only report on

tirely TO the respective companies. Mr..
Coogan said:
The settlement of claims will not be upon
any uniform basis. Each company will set
tie Its own losses in its own fashion. 1t
has its own contracts embodied In it's own
policies, and Its own attorneys to advise It.
The adjusting bureau has no power to lay
down any Uniform course policy for OBJ
servaton by the companies. power to
compel them to waive conditions and legal
rights.
No Uniformity of Action.
mo proposition looking toward uniform
ity of action has been suggested; nor is
there any truth in the report that 1t Is con-
tempiated to cut losses all down the line
and settle upon percentage basis.
The companies Will pay what they legal
ly owe. Moreover, they will be perfectly
fair. But they will obey no rules laid
down for them by any bureau"
