LIMIT OF INSURANCE PAID.
Companies Will Be Generous, but Not
Exceed Legal Liability.

New York, May 4.-The Tribune to.
day says:
Representatives Of both foreign and
American fire insurance companies, who
were in the city yesterday, discussed ac-
tion to effect compromise in the ad-
justment of losses by the San Francisco
fire.
The great companies express strong
purpose to be not only just, but gener-
Gus in cases of doubt, but one insurance
president said:
1.-The adjusters for this company will
not be allowed to waive the conditions
of its policies. nor the conditions and
restrictions of it's charters. We have
no more right to pay loss occasioned
by earthquake than we have to pay a
loss of life We are not an earthquake
insurance company, nor life insurance
company
Insurance men estimate that the COM
panies will ultimately pay from 60 to
10 per cent of the aggregate amount of
the risk.
The message from London insurance
companies to adiusters in Oakland, pub
lished this morning. should have read:
thuer any CIRCUMSTANCES, lhc DIV
ish offices will only pay the losses for
which they are legally liable, since to
go beyond their contracts would be IL
legal.
"They cannot recognize any liability
for damage by earthquake where no
fire ensued, nor for damage by fire to
fallen or partly fallen buildings, nor
for damages to buildings pulled down or
destroyed by order of the San Francisco

MILEAGE OF THE HUMAN BLOOD.
One Little Red Corpuscle May Travel
16S Miles in a Single Day.

one Little Red COrpuscle May Travel
16S Miles in q Single Day.
The speed at which the blood circu-
lates In the veins and arteries Of
healthy man Is something surprising.
All day long, year in and year out, the
round trips continue from the heart to
the extremities and back again. The
red blood corpuscles travel like boats in
a stream, going to this or that station
for such service as they have to per.
form; and the white corpuscles, the
phagocytes, dart hither and thither like
patrol boats, ready to arrest any con-
traband cargo of disease germs
The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astounding facts in our
personal history. Thus 1t has been cal
culated that assuming the heart to
beat sixtynine times a minute at ordi-
nary heart pressure, the blood goes at
the rate OF two hundred and seven
yards in the minute, or seven miles per
hour, one hundred and sixty eight miles
per day and ax thousand three hun
dred and twenty miles per year. If
man Of "a ysars Of age could have one
single blood cerpuscle floating In his
blood all his life 1t would have travelled
in that same time I've million one hun
dred and fifty thousand eight hundred
and eight miles.

STANDARD SINS
ARE LAID BARE
PreIident Tells Congress What Gar.
field Found.
Huge Monopoly Built Up in Violation
of Law Garfield Tells Many De-
vices by Which Monopoly Crushed
Competition - Defects in Law to
Be Removed.

Washington, May 5.-President Roose
welt today transmitted to congress the
report. of James R. Garfield, commits
sioner of corporations, giving the re-
suits of his investigation of the subject
of transportation and freight rates in
connection with the oil industry.
In his message the president ex
presses the view that the report is OF
capital Importance, because Of the ef
fort now being made to secure such en-
largement of the powers of the inter
state commerce commission as will con.
fer upon the commission power in some
measure adequate to meet the clearly
demonstrated needs of the situation.
The facts set forth in the report, he
declares, are for the most part not dis
puted.
That the Standard Oil Company has
benefited enormously up almost to the
present moment by secret rates, many
of which were clearly unlawful, the
president says the report clearly shows,
the benefit thereby secured amounting
to at least three-quarters of a million
dollars a year.
The statement is added that the de-
partment of justice will take up the
question Of instituting prosecutions in
at least certain of the cases, and the
hope is expressed that congress will
enact into law the bill of Senator Knox
to correct the Interpretation Of the i'm
munity provision rendered in Judge
Humphreys decision.
The president calls attention to that
feature of the report regarding the
M in Vrhioh ho 1oxry io IoI hxv
treating as state commerce what in real
ity is merely part Of interstate com
merce. He says it is clearly shown:
"That this device is employed on
the New York Central Railroad, as well
as on many other railroads, in such fash
ion as to amount to thwarting the pur-
pose of the law, although the forms of
the law may be complied with
1t is unfortunately not true, he says,
that the Standard Oil Company is the
only corporation which has benefited
and is benefting in wholly improper
fashion by an elaborate series of rate
determinations.
The sugar trust, he adds, according
to the results of the investigation now
in progress, rarely, if ever, pays the
lawful rate for transportation.
He declares that in the effort to pre-
vent the railroads from uniting for i'm.
proper purposes, "we have very unwise-
ly prohibited them from uniting for
proper purposes; that is, for purposes Of
protecting themselves and the general
public as against the power of the
great corporations.
He favors as an element of competi-
tIOn the DaSsapa of soma such law az
that which has already passed the house,
putting alcohol used in the arts and
manufactures on the free list and keep
ing the fee to oil and coal lands of the
Indian tribes or on the public domain in
the government, the lands to be leased
only on such terms and for such periods
as will enable the government to en-
tirely control them.

Statehood COMPROMISE.

Washington, May 5.-All of the minor
amendments to the statehood bill are
either disposed of or in shape to be
made the foundation of argument at
a moments notice.
At today's session of the conferees on
that measure the climax of the situa-
tion was reached for the first time.
The question of the admission of Ari-
zona and New Mexico as one state was
discussed at length.
No proposition for compromise was
offered, and the meeting adjourned I'M
til Tuesday.
In general way it is known that the
compromise will be the Foraker amend
ment, allowing the people of the two
territories to vote upon the question of
being joined in statehood.
Whether this vote is to be coupled
with the election for state officers or is
to be held prior to such elections is
one of the questions yet to be decided.

No Cash to Clear Streets.

San Francisco, May Money for
clearing the streets of debris was cut
off this morning, and the work conse-
quently ceased, but n great deal of
progress has been made upon the prin-
cipal thoroughfarcs within the last
fortnight Probably one-tenth of the
streets in the burned district are now
passable. Lack of funds and ignorance
of the amount of the appropriation to
be given by the finance committee have,
according to Commissioner Thomas
Egan, retarded the operations of the
Board of Public Works in clearing the
streets of debris and garbage and re-
pairing the Sewers.

Rates Raised Wantonly.

Chicago, May 5.-Declaring that the
railroads were expressing and discrim-
mating against its members, and had
been so doing for the past six years,
the American shippers Association met
today at the Auditorium Annex and de-
cidcd to enlarge its scope and influence.
The association at present includes a
majority of the large shippers of the
country, and it is probable in the near
future the interstate commerce COM
mission will he petitioned to make a
thorough inquiry into the railroads ac-
tions in arbitrarily increasing the
freight rates on a number of classifi-
cations in the last six years.

Funny He Didn't Remember.

One day last week Mayer Fitzgerald,
as busy as the three bees that he is
trying to make Boston, came tripping
Into the city hall from the School street
entrance. In the corridor he was met
by seedy-looking individual who held
up his honor, put out a grimy paw with
the salutation: How are you today,
Mr.. Mayor?' VERY we'll, SIR" was the
response, as he grasped the hand of
the unknown.
You don't seem to know me, do
you Mr.. Mayor?"
well, to be candid with you, I can
not say that I do, but 1 am glad to
meet you"
Don't you remember the day you
were elected?"
'Well, ought to-" said the mayor.
Just think bit what you did that
night. Don't you remember that you
went down to the Quincy House to
meet your frends?"
II certainly do" said the mayor. at
will always remain with me one Of the
pleasantest memories of my life"
Don't you remember coming out on
the balcony and addressing a crowd Of
1000 or more persons In front Of the
hotel?"
Yes. sir. do, very distinctly" said
his honor.
well, I was the follow that wore
the brown hat" concluded the un-

FIRE PANIC IN BIG HOSPITAL.
Blazing Laundry Causes Patients to
Flee Half Clad.

San Francisco, May 4.-The 700 pa
tients in the general hospital at the Pre-.
sidio were thrown into a panic at 4:l5
O'Clock this morning by the cry Of
fire"
At that moment flames were discov'
cred in the hospital laundry, which was
only few yards away. The close prox-
unity of the two buildings gave rise to
the fear that the hospital would be
destroyed.
In anticipation of such contingency
hurried arrangements were made for
the removal Of the patients to place
of safety.
the laundry was gotten under control
and there was no danger of the flames
spreading beyond that building, pandc-
monium reigned among the hundreds
Of patients.
Those who were not dangerously ill, or
could help themselves, jumped from
their cots and beds, and, hastily don
ming what clothes they could find, fed
from the hospital out into the cool
morning air.
Many Of the indisposed men and
women did not wait to secure their
clothes, but wrapped themselves in bed
ding and made their exit as quickly as
possible.
In more than one instance men and
women fed out into the air with moth
ing but their night clothes. Scores Of
patients who had the physical strength
stopped sufficiently long to assist more
weak and unstrung men and women
from the hospital.
Within Is minutes after the alarm
was given the majority of the patients
had left the hospital building and stood
in groups or lay upon the ground upon
bed clothes, watching the iremen and
soldiers fight the flames in the laundry.
When the flames had been extin-
guished the nurses, physicians and sol
diers turned their attention to the pa
tient-refugees, and assisted in taking
them back to their cots and beds in
private rooms and wards.
Men and women became hysterical
during the progress of the fire, and it
was with difficulty that many of them
could be induced to return to the hos
pital. 1t is feared that the shock to
many of the moro seriously sick patients
will have serious if not fatal effect.
When the fire was discovered in the
hospital a general alarm was sounded.
Besides the regular post fire department
hundreds of soldiers turned out to fight
the flames. 1t was only by hard work
that the flames were confined to the
which, with its contents, was
entirely destroyed, and prevented from
spreading to the general hospital.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

Were Cruel to Insane.

Washington, May 5.-Inquiry into the
conditions at st. Elizabeth s asylum
for the insane was begun today by the
special committee of the house of rep
resentatives appointed by Speaker Can
non. Nearly dozen witnesses were
heard. Evidence was adduced showing
that some of the patients who worked
in the hospital laundry had been cruelty
treated, and some of the witnesses tes-
titled that Foreman +. L. Maench, of
the laundry, frequently was intoxicated
while on duty.
The testimony showed that Henry
Setterfield, one of the employees in the
laundry, teased the patients and then
choked them for becoming angry and
excited. None of the patients, accord
ing to the testimony, was severely hurt.
The inquiry will be continued next
week

CARRIED 100000 REFUGEES.
Southern Pacific Says Few People Left
City Permanently.

Chicago, May 5.-According to official
figures, the Southern Pacific Company,
during the exodus from San Francisco
following the earthquake and the great
fire, carried 100000 free passengers.
This total is for the nine days from
April Is up to and including April 26.
Of these passengers, $1,000 were carried
to interior California points, 1854 to
other states and 226,000 to suburban
points around San Francisco bay. The
value of these free transportations is
estimated at $456,000. This comprises
only the movement from San Francisco;
figures as yet not having been compiled
on the free transportation from Santa
Rosa, Vallejo, Sacramento and Stock
ton.
In the opinion of Traffic Manager
Fee, the most encouraging feature of
the situation is the fact that not only
are most of the refugees staying in Cali
fornia, but that three-fourths of them
have found temporary homes within
easy reach of the city

Friday Nav 4,

Washington, May An accordance
with the agreement of last Monday,
the senate today entered upon the con-
sideration of amendments to the rate
bill under the 15minute rule, but made
little progress. The greater part Of the
day was devoted to Lodges provision
bringing pipe lines within the terms
of the bill, and it was ultimately unani-
mously agreed to, after being so amend
ed as to make it exclude gas and water
lines from it's operation, thus practi.
cally confning it to oil lines. There
were two roll-calls, but neither was of
Importance, as on the one accepting the
amendment there was no division what
ever, while the action taken on the
other, on the question of confning the
provision to oil lines, was practically
nullifed by the subsequent elimination
of gas and water from the amendment
Washington, May 4.-The house spent
another day in consideration of the
naval appropriation bill, the speeches
in large measure being in support Of the
bill and the naval program therein out
lined. Burton, of Ohio, delivered a
scholarly address against what seemed
the needless enlargement of the navy,
contending that the American nation
could well afford to serve notice upon
the other nations that it stood for in
ternational arbitration and the peace Of
the world.
Butler of Pennsylvania, and Calder of
New York, supported the bill, both
agreeing that the measure had less to
criticize in it than any bill reported
from the naval affairs committee of the
house in years.

Sketches Nova Zembfa.

Alexander Alexewitsch Borissoff has
started from st. Petersburg on tour
abroad with twenty-six oil paintings
and sketches which represent the out
come of a voyage TO Nova Zembla un-
dertaken toward the end Of the nine
ties at the expense of the Car. In
1896 he made a trip 10 Nova Zembla,
bringing back with him a series of re-
markahle sketches. In 1899 he built
the yacht Meczta (The Dream). in
Archangel and sailed In her to Nova
Zembla. where he erected shelter
with wood he had brought. and finished
many sketches Of Matotschi Sebar (the
straits dividing Nova Zembla) and
also Of the Carrie Sea. During the VIM
ter pastel drawings or charcoal
sketches only were possible In spring
brush and palete could again be used.

Monday, April 80.

Washington, April 3o.-The senate
will begin voting on the amendments to
the railroad rate bill on Friday, May 4.
An agreement to that effect was re-
ported today, but it proved impossible
to so extend the understanding as to
have it include the fixing Of date for
taking a final vote on the bill as a
whole. Tillman first proposed final
vote on May 8, and Morgan was the
only senator to make objection. His
opposition was sufficient, however, to
frustrate the design, and the next most
feasible course, the disposition Of
amendments, was decided upon. The
general impression ameng senators is
that the final vote will be reported
within a week from the time of the
beginning of the consideration of
amendments. Most of the time of the
senate was devoted to listening to a
speech by Clarke, of Arkansas, in which
he criticised the Hepburn bill as inju-
dcious to remedy existing conditions.
The house bill appropriating $4,000
for the emergency needs of the navy
department at Mare Island, and for
the postal service at San Francisco,
made necessary by the earthquake, was
passed by the senate when it convened
today.

Protests Against Barnes.

Washington, May 1.-The nomination
of b. +. Barnes, assistant secretary to
President Roosevelt, to be postmaster
at Washington was before the Senate in
executive session today. No action was
taken. Senator Culbertson stated that
a general protest had been filed bv citi-
zens against the confirmation of Mr..
Barnes. and the postofiice committee
had failed to give the protests the con
sideration of an investigation. The
charges relate to the action of Mr..
Barnes in having Mrs. Minor Morris
elected from the White House, and that
the office should be given to a citizen.

continue the free distribution of garden
and flower seeds. Many of the items in
the agricultural bill broadening the
scope of the Bureau of Chemistry and

ed on points of order, particularly those
relating to the adulteration of foods,
