Pat McGauIy at work.


 For the first time since the forma- tion of the Association. the proceec- ings and discussions of the convention will be taken down in full, and print ed later in pamphlet form for the ref erence of the members of the organi- zation. The announcement that ste- nographer had been secured for the purpose of taking a complete report was made by Secretary F. P. Glass yesterday, and Pat McGauley Of this city has been employed by the Associa- stion for this purpose, and was in atten- dance at both the morning and even ing meetings.
 Mir. Cabaniss and Judge Gaston.
 One of the most prominent members in attendance at the convention IS II |. H. Cabaniss, for a number of years connected with The Atlanta Journal, and formerly President G the Asso- citation. He was central figure at the sessions, and is one of the most widely known newspaper managers in the South.
 MT. Cabaniss bears strong person. al resemblance to Probate Judge J. B. Gaston of Montgomery. who is one of the entertainment committee appointed by President A. G. Forbes of the Com mercial Club to act as host of the vis- itors. So much alike are they that the resemblance was spoken of generally at the barbecue at Jackson's Lake.
 At the conclusion of the dinner one of the delegates to the convention was standing near MT. Capaniss.

WILL ACT INDEPENDENTLY.
Each Insurance Company Will Settle
 Losses Individually.

San Francisco, May 16.-The insur- sance companies will settle their losses in their own way, each company acting for itself according to the contracts embodied in its policies and the hrc underwriters adjusting bureau VIII make no attempt to dictate general policy or lay down uniform rules for the companies to observe in the set- tleuent of claims, according to a statement made yesterday by Attorney n. e. coogan, who is legal adviser to the adjusting bureau.
 The adjusting bureau Is merely to act as a board of appraisers in dealing with claims and will only report on losses sustained, leaving the settie- ment entirely 10 the respective compa- nies. Mir. Coogan said:
 The settlement of claims will not be upon any uniform basis. Each compa- nv will settle It's own losses in it's own fashion. 1t has Its own contracts embodied in its own policies, and US own attorneys to advise 1t. The ad- justing bureau has no power to lay down any uniform course or policy for observation by the companies, no pow- CT to compel them to waive conditions and legal rights.
 ssNo proposition looking toward uni- forn1ity of action has been suggested nor is there any truth in the report that 1t is contemplated to cut losses all down the line and settle upon a percentage basis.
 "The companies will pay what they legally owe. Moreover they will be perfectly fair. But they will obey no rules laid down for them by any bu- reau."
 Attorney Coogan's statement was coroborated by H. F. Atwood, chair man of the committee of fifteen which transacts all the executive business of the general adjusting bureau. On and after Monday next the under writers bureau. which at present meets in Oakland. proposes to hold meetings in San Francisco.
 The special committee of the Mer- chants Association of San Francisco on insurance. composed of Andrew M. Davis, Byron Mausey and Allen G. Wright. sent letter to Insurance Com missioner Wolf on May 10, asking him to compel the insurance companies to furnish needed information in cases where policies were destroyed by nre

 His speech was entirely free from any bitterness of abuse, and his allus- ions to MT. Conner were but casual. He stated that he was not the candidate of any particular crowd. but that if cleo ted Governor he would execute the laws and do his full duty to all the people of the State. He expressed himself as desirable classes, better educational facilities, increased facilities for the care of the Confederate soldiers, fair and equitable freight rates and the prohibition of child labor in mines and factories of the State.

that. as general agent of the company for
the District of Columbia he was conduct
ing lucrative business until a short time

Baggage Handling.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
At the convention in Los Angeles the
other day Of the railroad general baggage
agents many subjects of an esoteric char
acter were discussed-subjects of no espe-
cial interest to the general public Such
topics as the proper checking Of corpses,
the prorating OF excess charges and the
form for foreign checks are attractive to
experts only. One Of the delegates, how
ever. incidentally referred to a matter
which Is of direct personal interest to every
body who travels with a trunk He sug-
gested the advtsability of impressing train
and station baggagemen with the necessity
for exercising less muscle and more discre-
ton in the ordinary handling of baggage
He said that there had been some improve
ment in this direction. but declared that
there was room for o great deal more In
this conclusion the American traveller will
Join. In these days OF trains de luxe, upon
which the traveller enjoys most Of the lux
uries OF a first-class hotel, 1t Is still true
that the travellers trunk receives little more
consideration than 1t enjoyed in the old
times Of uncomfortable day coaches and In
Vulnerable changes of cars. 1t is handled
with vigor and freedom which leave their
marks upon 1t and which cause its owner
to grieve.
