Recently two Macs died in this coun-

Dougless Mac liver. They were Scotch
blood and both noted in their way. Ian
Maclaren wrote stories that caused
multitudes to lament his passing, but
Mac liver who had fought under half the
flags of the world, died unknown and in
poverty. Napoleon in the end lamented
that he had done nothing to conquer
the hearts of the multitude. This lat

dug to determine tho character of the rock below the level 0Sthe foundations. The deepest pit had s depth of over eight-seven feet
 The engineers individually descend ed into each of the pits and found that they entered and continued in rock from a few feet below the ground sur face to the bottom. With one excep- tion the rock was fine grained sand stone. One test was made by loadin g one square foot of the rock with 72,00o pounds of steel rails. This weight. al though several times as great as that which would rest upon an equal sur face under the walls of the proposed lock, caused no appreciable indenta- tion. Additional tests of a searching character was made by the engineers with satisfactory results.
 Beside the lock site at Gatun, the en- gineers examined the site of the pro- posed regulating works. There they found the same sort of rock and the same pressure test failed only at 1,24O to 1,470 pounds per square inch.
 The conclusion was that stable foundation exists at this point Simf- lar examinations were made at the site of the Pedro Miguel lock and the con- clusion was that the existing rock is of sufficient strength to bear the pro- posed weight.

c.rerov French Believes Brownsville
 PeopIe Had Army Rifles.
 San Antonio, Texas, May 4.-Another sensation in which several officers or the army and certain civilians or Rrownsville are likely to be implicat- cd came to light here today in the sudden and unexpected visit or Col. Francis H. French of the Inspector Generals Department and Chief 1n- spector of the Southwestern Division His visit is occasioned by the Browns vile affair. From here 1t is proba- ble that he will go to Brownsville.
 shortly after his arrival Colonel French commenced to take the testi- rnony of enlisted men at Fort Sam Houston This testimony, it is under stood was relative to the ordnance at Fort Brown. It was brought out in the Penrose court martial that. there was an extra amount of ordnance and that some of the surplus was found in a store room of one of the barracks at Fort Brown occupied by the battalion of the 26th Infantry. which was re- lieved at that post.
 The theory upon which Colonel French is believed to be proceeding is that there were ten or fifteen regular army rifles and many rounds of am munition issued or allowed to go into the hands of persons not connected with the army.
 Since the Brownsville raid on the number of anonymous letters were sent to army officers and others. This is another matter that will be looked in- to as it is understood that many of these letters bear a "Brownsville'' poStmark

December 31. 1905, On policies in 1906 they received $4,76S,612 and incurred losses of $f.6S1,200 About seventy-five life companies were in business in Ala bama in 1906, six of them being admit ted to Alabama during the year 1906 and the first four months of 1907.
 The amount of the policies in force at the close of the year 1908 was $l4,- S52,04S, on which the premiums re- ceiyed were s219,976 and the losses in cured were ss6,s93. The amount or the policies in force on December Sl. 1905. was s12.335.21
 The companies cIassed as miscella- neous are those known as accident. health, liability, fidelity and surety. plate glass. steam boiler. burglary anu theft, credit, fly wheel. sprinkler ana w'orkmen's collective. The other com panies operating in the state were mu- tual aid companies.
 If the bill, recently proposed, to re- quire all insurance companies doing business in the State to invest one-halt of the amount of the premiums they receive from their business In Ala bama within the State. should De adopted by the Legislature the result would be an investment of more than s4,000, 900 in Alabama properties. It has been suggested, however, that the plan proposed is not feasible because a law already in force requires insur- ance companies to place one-half of their receipts from premiums in their reserve funds.
 In life insurance companies. for ex- ample, the general working plan Is that 50 per cent of the receipts are pSced in the reserve funds, 25 per cent. arc utilized as operating expenses and 25 per cent are for the mortality fund. Upon that basis 1t would be difficult to require an investment of 50 per cent of receipts in Alabama properties.
 It has been suggested that the per- centage of investments required might be graded. low percentage being re- quired for the first year and an in crease for each successive year. until stipulated maximum had been attain ed.
