NOT TRUE SAYS BULKELEY
DAWSON'S STATEMENT REGARD
ING FIRE ms COMPANIES.

Senator Declares Before House Conn
NInittee That There is No Foundation
for Declaration That Not One Conn
pany To-day Knows Whether it Will
be Solvent After Paying Losses of the
San Francisco Fire.
Washington, May 1e-United States
Senator Bulkeley of Connecticut, who
is president of the Aetna Fire Insur-
ance company was heard by the house
committee on judiciary to-day in refu-
tation of the statement made yester-
day before the committee by Miles NJ
Dawson of New York, actuary for the
Armstrong insurance committee, to the
effect that not one Of the American
fire insurance companies know to-day
whether they would or would not be
solvent when they paid their San Fran
cisco losses.
There was, said Senator Bulkeley alb
solutely no foundation for such state
ment. Mr. Bulkeley added that he
knew no American company that dfi
not know just where 1t stood financial
ly. There were only two or three COM
panies which could not pay their losses
out of their surplus and still live.
There were two or three companies
which had increased their capital stock
to meet this demand,
Senator Bulkeley continued his dis
cussion Of the insurance questions con-
fronting the country, at the afternoon
session Of the committee, and some of
his remarks and conclusions created
some degree Of sensation to the room
full of committeeman and insurance
representatives. Discussing the Arm
strong investigation and the irregular
titles brought out in that connection, he
said they did not arise from the inter-
nal mismanagement Of the companies
or from the personal or official dishon-
esty of the officers Of the companies,
but wholly from the Jealousy of flnan-
ciers to get control Of the vast funds of
these institutions. The investigation
and the legislation which has grown
out of it, instead Of bettering condl-
tions, he said would produce a con-
trary effect as pronounced as jumping
from the frying pan into the flre. IN
stead of having several great institu-
tions as before, controlled by a divid-
ed responsibility they had put the en-
tire business into the hands Of one
man.

tative DeArmond. Senator Buikeley did

room; then a general suppressed laugh.

CZAR CONOILTAToRY
VIII Avoid a Breach with Parlimsnt IL
Possible.

st. Petersburg, May 16.-In spite Of
the fear that the addresses in reply to
the speech from the throne moved on
Tuesday in the lower house of parlia-
ment would precipitate an immediate
conflict between the crown and parlfa-
ment, the Associated Press is in po-
sition to state that Emperor Nicholas
is determined to avoid breach if pos
sible. Not only will partial amnesty be
granted, but the emperor is ready to
replace the Goremyldn ministry with a
cabinet chosen from among the con-
servative members of the majority in
the lower house, in the hope Of effecting
a compromise. He is not willing, how
ever, to permit the majority to select
the premier; but once such conces-
sion is made it is difficult to understand
how the emperor can halt half way and
refuse full constitutional monarchy
which government by parliamentary
majorities involves. Practically parlia-
ment already has won great victory.

oAsSATT TO RESIGN?
Disappointed Over Revelations in Rail-
road-COal Investigation.

Philadelphia, May 16.-The North
American tomorrow will say:
"Circumstantial reports that Alexan-
der ]. Cassatt has determined to re-
sign the presidency Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company, in conse-
quence of the startling disclosures in
the railroad-coal investigation yester-
day, have reached the interstate COM
merce commission. 1t is said that be-
fore leaving for Europe last week, Mr..
Cassatt told some Of his closest per-
sonal friends that he had been grossly
deceived by his subordinate officers of
the Pennsylvania railroad concerning
the actual facts and conditions in the
management of the company. These in
innate friends were assured by Mr..
Cassatt that he had relied on state
ments made to him which in the light
of recent developments have proved
false.
According to the reports Mr.. Cassatt
will retain his position until the inves-
tigation is concluded so that no one
may say that he retired under fire"

Washington, May 16.-Shall the Unit
ed States have battleship the peer, if
not the superior of any battleship in
the world, was the question which pre-
sented itself in the house to-day when
the further consideration of the naval
appropriations was resumed.
The first paragraph under increases
of the navy" provides for an appropri-
alton of $4,000 900 for a battleship to be
superior to the Dreadnought under con-
struction for the British navy, ex-
elusive of armament and armor.
The fight against this provision was

moved to strike out the paragraph. Mr..
Burton said the present programme of
the navy in the building of new ships
had already been provided for until
January, 1910, and in view of delays
which may eovera period of two years
the programme of the navy was outlin-
ed until 1912
He further insisted that the rela'
tions between the governments of the
world might be vastly changed before
1912, and that the leading nations
might decide in favor Of reduction Of
their navies and in favor Of interna-
tional arbitration.
Mr. Williams Of Mississippi, The minor
ity leader, at this point suggested an
amendment, that in view of the Brit
ish having decided to name their sea
monster the Dreadnaught the Ameri-
can sea monster be named "Skeert o
Nothin'" as being typical of the ma
tional spirit; that on its completion the
captain in command be authorized t
challenge the Dreadnought to a due

president and his cabinet, with the
exception of the secretary of agricul
ture, who is non combatant, be in
vited to places on the quarter deck az
evidences of the strenuous life; the
sea fight to take place off Newport.
The amendment was ruled out of or.
der but Mr.. Williams as well as the
house had deal of fun out OF it.
The appropriation bill, carrying near.
ly a hundred million dollars, was final.

days of the present congress.

"A LIE,n SAYS BAILEF,

Bill Incident.

Texas Senator Stirs the Senate In Rate
Bill Incident.
Washington, May 16.--The recent ef-
forts Of the president and the democrat
ic senatorial leaders to reach an agree
ment on the railroad rate bill received
further notice in the senate to-day from
Senators Bailey and Tillman. The mat
ter was referred to by the Texas SEN
ator In the course of a personal explain
alton called out by an article in the
Chicago Tribune charging Mr.. Bailey
with failure to find common ground,
and by Mr.. Tillman in a speech in sup
port of Mr. Bailey, and in presenting a
further statement from former Senator
Chandler.
In his address Mr.. Bailey denounced
the article in question as "a lie,' and
the author and inspirer of it as liars"
There also was a sharp colloquy be-
tween Senators Daniel and Tillman
over an amendment to the anti-pass
provision.
The consideration Of the rate bill In
committee of the whole was concluded
and the measure was then reported to
the senate, where there will be oppor-
tunity to review and alter all the
amendments heretofore made.
Practically the entire day was devot-
ed to the consideration of the anti
pass amendment, which was adopted
after making so many exceptions as to
arouse laughter In the senate every
time the provision was read.
The work Of the senate as such was
confined to the partial consideration Of
the pipe line provision, which was so
amended as to strike out the Morgan
proviso extending its operation to 9TH
er countries where the United States
had jurisdiction.
The senate will meet tomorrow at IL
| O'Clock.

BAILEY WAS UNDER SUSPICION
Thought Not to Have Been Friend of
Presidents Rate Policy.

Chicago, May 16.-The Tribune in the
morning will publish the following from
Raymond" its Washington corre-
spondent, in answer to the attack made
upon his veracity by Senator Bailey, of
Texas, in which, among other things,
he says that when Mr.. Bailey struck at
the president Of the United States over
my humble shoulders-for that is all he
did on the floor of the senate to-day
he apparently was unaware that there
twas documentary evidence in existence,
both in the official Congressional Rec
ord and in the form of written MEM
orandum by former Senator William q.
Chandler, absolutely proving that he
was an object Of suspicion to the real
friends of the presidents railroad pol
icy.
This is not to say that Mr.. Bailey
deserved the suspicion, but that his
motives and his acts in the democratic
conferences, in the democratic caucus
on the floor of the senate and in confer
ence between Tillman and Moody, and,
through Mr.. Chandler, with the presi-
dent, gave rise to the suspicion that he
was not true to the principle of rail-
road-rate legislation, is clear from the
record itself and cannot be successfully
denied.
Mr.. Bailey may be as innocent as a
babe unborn-and he says he is-but
the suspicious did exist, they have ex-
listed for weeks, and they have been
talked of in the cloak rooms of the sem
ate, on the streets, at the White house
and elsewhere. They have been men,
toned in many newspapers, and if they
have not been justified Mr.. Bailey is
unfortunate and his character should be
relieved from aspersion.
