the president. Mr.. Bryce, who has been chief sec
retary of state for Ireland in the Campbell Ban
herman cabinet offered peerage on his re-
tirement, but this he declined preferring to come
to America with the Democratic name which he
has made illustrous as the author of ''The Ameri-
Commonwealth" The retirement of Mr.
Bryce from the Liberal cabinet is a decided loss
to the government, and there is much speculation
as to who will be his successor, particularly in
view of the part he destined to take in making
a fight for home rule in Ireland Young Winston
Churchill has had his eye the place, and strong
pressure has been brought to bear to secure for
him the appointment which would give him seat

Insurance Presidents Organize.

In the meantime association of life insurance
presidents has been organized in New York Ten
of the fourteen presidents who attended the first
meeting voted in favor of the adoption of a con-
stitution a1d bylaws, the others being excused
from voting until they could consult with their
boards of directors. They have until January Is
to vote by mail, and the meeting adjourned until
January IL, when executive committee will be
chosen. The objects of the association are set
forth as being the improvement of the life insur-
ance business by the Inauguration of better prac-
tees, with the aim, so they say, of finally increas-
ing dividends, and, thereby, reducing the cost of
life insurance to the policy holders. It was an
nounced that one policy of the new association
would be to present publicly the merits of life in
surance wherever the interests of policy holders are
assaied.

Two Notables Indicted For Forgery.

The courts continue to mete out even-handed
justice against those who have violated the law in
connection with insurance companies. George
Burnham, Jr., counsel and vice-president of the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Insurance Company, was
fund guilty of grand larceny and sentenced to
we two years in States Prison. On December
an application for a Ger aacats Of reasokable
doubt was denied, and evidently he will have to
take his punishment. During the last week of
the year, Geo. W. Perkins, former vice-presdent
of the New York Life Insurance Company, and a
partner in the firm Of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co.,
and Charles S. Fairchid, secretary Of the treas
ury under Cleveland, and later president of the
New, York Security & Trust Company, sub
sidiary company Of the New York Life, were in
dicted by the grand jury in New York for forgery
in the third degree. It was developed during the
Armstrong investigation that in order to evade
the insurance laws Of Prussia, which was about to
bar the company from that country on the grounds
that many of its securities in the nature of
industrial stocks, a transfer of these stocks was
made from the insurance company to the Security
& Trust Company. This transaction was entered
In one instance a sale, in the other instance as
loan. Fairchild and Perkins are charged with
having been a party to the misleading entries.
The grand jury took occasion to state that these
men had not profted personally by the transaction
and that, in reality, it had been of benefit to the
stockholders. This supplementary presentment was
in the nature Of extenuation, but it will remain
with the trial jury to settle that point and there
are demands that mercy shall be shown them

Ambassador James Bryce.

The appointment Of Hon. James Bryce as British
ambassador to the United States to succeed Sir
Mortimer Durand, has met with favorable comment
all over the country There were various rumors
as to the Of the recall of Sir Mortimer, and
those who are alert for the human interest in every
event. lost time in discovering that the perni-
cious activity of certain lady, high in diplomatic
circles, had been making mischief. It seemed to
be agreed, however that while an able man in
every respect the retiring ambassador lacked that

MOTOR BOATS IN THE NAVY.

The latest type of mOtorboat is re- ported to have made a speed of thirty two miles an hour, exceeding that of the fastest torpedo boat in the United States navy. This has led to talk among naval officers as to the prac- ticability of using motorboats in the navy. one officer suggests that such craft could be equipped with a single torpedo tube in the bow and might be effectively used as a kind of torpedo boat. He thinks that each irst-class uattleship could be equipped with at least one motorboat, which could easily be, carried on deck, and that in actual warfare. when circumstances warrant ed il. the motor torpedo boat could be lowered and sent against the enemy. owing to the great speed and the size of the boat it might be able to get within range before being sunk. Other officers think that with some changes in the construction of this class of boats they might be used effectively as short distance dispatch boats. - New York Tribune

RAILROAD FIREMEN SCARCE.

Why doesn't the able-bodied young man of mechanical bent turn more of- ten than he does to the fireman's deck of the locomotive? This is a question which at all times appeals to the SUD- .erintendents of motive power of the great railroads of the country, and in a flew weeks, when the movement of the grain crops of the country begins td test the capacity of the roads and when locomotive engineers are in a sharply increased demand. the question be- comes serious to many lines.
 Time was under the old rules of the railroads when the work of firing an engine for six or seven years of an ap- prenticeship made the lot of the fire man hard dirty and eXacting. Today. under the schooling system that has been adopted almost universally on the big systems, firing still is hard work. but the term of apprenticeship is cut from two to three wars. the "hostler's'' work Is eliminated for the fireman, the shoveling of coal. while increased in tonnage. is made easier by the modern chute shape of the coal tender, and when the fireman. after his four years experience. reaches an income possi- bility of S125 to S200 a month as en- gineer, the roads have an income argu- ment behind their question which Is capable.-Chicago Tribune.

SICiLlAN IMMIGRANTS.

The emigration from Sicily is as- .suming such proportions that there has been fear that the real bone and sinew of the land would disappear. At first only the worst class of Sicilians emisrated, but lately the character of emigrants has greatly improved. The compensation to Sicily for this loss by emigration is shown by the increased wages received by the laboring peo- pie who remain behind. In some places where only thirty cents day was earned. the wages have gone up to 75 cents q day. Besides this increase in wages. the general comfort of many of the working families has been greatly increased by the remittances sent home by the Sicilian wage earn CTS in America. The emigration mNye- meEt has fallen hardest upon the small employers of labor, who cannot now secure labor at rates which will leave them any profit.

POLITICS IN NORTHWEST.

Judging by the comments of the larger newspapers of the northwestern coast states. no "rcactionary'' candi- date for the republican presidential nomination need look for assistance from that quarter. Especially does this statement apply to oregon Sen ator Bourne's Friendship with the president is well known in that state. and appears to be appreciated at its true value. While Vice President Fairbanks was in the northwest the newspaper which. through both its editorial columns and its special Washington correspondence. has been particularly friendly to Mir. Bourne. said that Senator Knox could not pos sibly be nominated. and that his af- filiations were such as tO make it i'm possible for the president to expect from the Pennsylvanian. "any more than from MT. Fairbanks. q sincere and hearty support of the legislation which he advocates"
 The same paper had a few things to say about Senator Crane of Massa- chusetts, when the recent story about the clash between that statesman and his colleague, Senator Lodge. was sent all over the country. Senator Crane was referred to as 'pussy-footed politician" and it was predicted that opposition from him to any of the ad- ministration policies or political plans would only strengthen the president. IL has been frequently said that MT. Roosevelt was more popular on the Pacific coast. outside of California. than in any other section of the union. and the facts related here would seem to prove that this is the case.

THE CRAVE OF GOLDSMITH.

That Oliver Goldsmith was buried in the churchyard Nof the temple has been placed beyond doubt by the en- try in the register. But the stone on the north side of the Temple church. around which the enthusiasts of the Goldsmith club gather, Mas been plac- ed on spot purely conjectural. for the exact position If the grave has never been discovered. The real site was remembered as late as 1880. In that year the sexton, very aged man. who apparently was present at the bu- rial. still venerated an elder tree. which he said marked the site of Gold smiths grave. This elder tree seems to have stood a few feet south of the present stone. near the old vestry.
