WARNED TO AVOID
SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco, Dec. 1G.--It was
learned here today from fedetal ar
thorities, who have he'd the matter
in hand, that Bishop Merriam c
Harris of Japan and Korea, one of
the most famous bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal church, has
been warned by them not to come to
this city on his journey back TO the
field of his labors. He will sail from
Vancouver, b. c., on the last of this
month. taking passage at that port
to avoid meeting the compatriots of
Chang ard Chun. the two Koreans
who are accused of having partici-
pated in the murderous attack on
Durham White Stevens, the Korean
Japanese diplomat last spring.
Bishop Harris has been for many
years a missionary to Japan. and has
been always an ardent believer In the
destinies OF that nation. He has trav
elcd through the Mikados empire
from one end to the other, and Is
one OF the best known white men In
japan. His missionary labors have
extended to Korea, and he has spent
mach of his time in that country,
acquainting himself with conditions
in the hermit kingdom. Despite hie
services to the Koreans, the anti
Japanese element In that nation has
frequently criticised the bishop for
his alleged bias toward Japan, and
his alleged support of policies which
have seemed inlmical to Korean I'M
terests
When Bishop Harris arrived In
San Francisco bay last spring, i'm
mediately after the shooting OF
Stevens, the government officials OF
San Francisco, acting under secret
orders from Washington, ID. c., Snug
gled the clergyman from his steamer
In a special tug to the Berkeley shore
where he was landed quickly and
hurried 10 the home OF friend. lie
stayed in Berkeley only few hours,
taking the frst train for the East,
and there he has remained ever since.
When Bishop Harris decided TO re-
turn to Japan he was again warned
by the government officlals that the
same band OF Koreans, who planned
and carried out the atack on Stey'
ems, had similar designs on him, be
lievlng that his friendship toward the
Japanese was a menace TO their own
country. Fearful that some fanatic
might try 20 murder the missionary.
the authorities persuaded him to
choose a new route to the orleat, AMI
he has therefore made detour which
will take him 10 Vancouver instead
OF San Francisco on December 81.

RESTRICT LOANS
ON INSURANCE

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-As a re-
suit, it is said, of the discovery that
much of the cash drawn by policy
holders from the treasures of the
big life insurance companies on loans
during the recent currency panic
were taken to Wall street and sold
at premium, movement has been
started among influential insurance
men, it was learned yesterday, to OBJ
tain at the present session of the
legislature, legislation restricting to
considerable extent the freedom
with which policyholders have hith-
erto been able to borrow on their
policies.
When it was seen that after the
worst of the financial furry was over
and demands for loans continued all
most unabated, and from persons
who might not have been supposed
to be in need of ready money, in
surance officials set an investigation
on foot. They are said to have dis
covered that a considerable amount
of the borrowed cash was being real
lied on at premium in currency
brokers offices, also that high rate
loans were being made with much of
the money obtained from them on
policy loans, to get which they had
frequently to dispose of high grade,
and per cent dividend-paying Sc
curities
In the insurance district sentiment
apparently favors enactment of a law
whereby insurance companies might
have privileges similar to those now
accorded savings banks in the matter
of savings Withdrawals, namely, no.
tice of thirty to ninety days by pol
icyholders desiring loans on their pol
icies.

CONSOLIDATED AT

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, Jan Iii
1t is reported on good authority that
the Little Gem mine at Tenaho has
been sold to Salt Lake and Eastern
parties for large consideration and
that work will soon be resumed on
i large scale.
The deal was engineered by j. J..
Cusick, who visited the region last
week in company with Major Gillett
and Hiram and John Tyree, at which
time the deal is supposed to have
been closed. Incluced in the sale is
the .Regulus group, owned by A.
Rothchild.
1t is rumored that large mill is
to be built on the property, which
will be equipped to handle custom
ores. This will be great boom for
the district, as there are a number OF
properties that. can be worked profit
ably by treating the ore on the
ground, but which could not be made
to pay If the ore was shipped to the
smelter, on account of the high rates
of freight and the exorbitant charges
for treatment
