MORRIS E. TYLER
 PASSES AWAY
tcontinued rom First Page.)

 MT. Tyler was man of strong per- sonality and keen judgment, unique among presidents of public service. corporations. He had strong views upon the subject of the obligations owed to the public by these corpora tons, and was the first president of one of them, the Southern New Eng land Telephone company, to issue new stock to stockholders at figure con- siderably in advance of par, thus an- ticipating legislation of that import. A lover of literature and nature, a. professional man by education and a corporation manager by position, he represented a type destined to prevail and dominate in the years to come.
 He was married November 5. 1873, to Della Talman, daughter of Victor Clifford and Georgiana (Mallory) Au- dubon. of New York city, and of the five children born of this marriage four are now living. The children living are Victor Morris Tyler, secre- tary of the Southern New England Telephone company; Ernest Franklin Tyler, an artist in New York city; Leonard Sanford Tyler, and Audubon Tyler. His daughter, Mary Tyler, died in November, 1902, at the age of sev- enteen years and eleven months,

METHODS OF RELIEF

 garding Situation.

Washington, Dec. S.-A conference was held at the White House this eve- ming between the president and sena- tors Aldrich, of Rhode Island, and Crane, of Massachusetts, on the sub- ject of currency legislation. The presi- dent called in these two leading sen- ators in order that he might have their views concerning the many proposi- tions that have been made to him dur ing the last several weeks in favor of plans for relieving the currency string ency under such circumstances as has occurred recently. Senator Aldrich stated at the close of the conference that nothing definite had been decided upor
 The president has been in receipt of many communications from all parts of the country urging him to recom- mend special plans for relieving the money stringency, and his chief pur- pose in the conference tonight seemed to be to discuss the principal sugges- tions that have been made to him

CHANGE OF AMBASSADORS
Japanese Consul at New York Declares
 This Will Result.

New York, Dec, 3.--Chozo Koike, the retiring consul general for the Japanese government here. before leaving tonight for his new post at San Francisco, said that Ambassador Aoki's summons to Tokio meant that there will be a change of ambassa- dors at Washington--nothing more" He added:
 Tt is not a surprise to me that Aoki goes back. But by no stretch of the imagination can the action of my government be construed as an inten- ton to break off friendly relations with the United States.
 'If you ask me for the reason why my government wants to see viscount Aoki just now, I cannot tell you. He has done the best he knew how. take it the heads of the Japanese government wish to consult him about something. It may be that fuller information is desired at home as to the immigration question and the ex- cluslon of eoolies But whatever Aoki Is wanted for, there is no need for this war talk
 Tt is no concern of the Japanese If the United States desires to move It's navy from one port to another. Japan Is not worrying over the cruise of the fleet. She trusts and has confidence in the good will of the United States.
 "She does not desire the Philippines. As for the California troubles, they are not such as cause break in friendship. Suppose I insult you, or you me, and we fight. The fight is be- tween us two, is 1t not? The recent trouble in California Is analogous to that"

 ion that there would be a satisfactory outcome of the pending immigration question between the United States and Japan. and added that his coun- try would do all in it's power to so adjust matters as to satisfy the United States.
 At the state department to-day it was learned that Count Aoki did not present any letters of recall. but that what he had received was a summons to come home for consultation with his government, It was not known at the department whether Aoki would or would not return to the United States and the impression there was that the ambassador himself was not aware as to what his future movement would be. Count tAoh received word late Satur- day that his government wanted him to come home, and he lost no time in &C., quainting the state department with that fact. The most positive statement is made at the Japanese embassy that Count AokPs recall Is not the result of any dissatisfaction with his course on the part of his government nor that in his recall his government in any way disavows his actions while here.
 The ambassador expects to leave Washington on his homeward trip be- fore Christmas, and during his absence MT, Miyaoka, the counselor of the em- bassy, will act as charge d'affaires.

LOWER INSURANCE RATES
Readjustment of Them by New Eiig-
 land Exchange.

Bridgeport, Dec. 3--The New Eng land insurence exchange has ordered a readjustment of fire insurance rates on dwellings in this city. A substantial reduction is made in the cost of insur- ance on small dwellings and their con- tents, as the result of the action of the city in correcting various deficiencies
 in fire defense and of the Bridgeport Hydraulic company in increasing the water pressure.
 Four changes are made in the rates charged for insurance on s100 worth Of property which is the unit on which the agents figure, The rate on small private dwellings is reduced from GO to 50 cents; on dwellings, having not over three families from 75 to so cents; on dwellings containing from three to six families, from 75 to SC 23 cents; while in the case of dwellings, containing six to twelve families the rate is increased from 75 cents to $1.20. The insurance men say that the rates for insurance on big tenement houses have been propor- tionately too low and that the owners of private dwellings have been paying a comparatively high rate to offset losses caused by fires in big tenements.
