Mr. Culbcrson said: at was a delib-
crate, studied and gratuitous insult
to the Congress by the President" -"
He would have preferred to see still
stronger language used i'm the reso-
luton, but cOntented himself with il
as it had been agreed upon.
! Senator Newlands spoke at con-
| siderable length, saying that the
| question at issue was whether the
secret service had been used to H.
Hestigate Congressman in the purs l.
ance Of their legitimate duties or vas
only to detect fraud i'm the duties de-
volving upon the Executive depart
ments.
"But," interposed Mr. Tillman.
the Presidents message shows that
he has investigated us generally, asd
that we are lot of scoundrels that
need investigation. Now there may
be men here who feel that way. but
God knows / do not"
Mr.. Newlands said he was not at
tempting to apologize for the Presi-
dent, but wanted to have the Senate
avoid any hasty and improper Ian
guage.
Senator McLaurin, Of Mississippi,
favored diSnified resentment of the
language Of the Pro sident, and Sena-
tor Bacon declared that, in his view.
the message was the most deliber-
ate and carefully worded insult ever
sent to any parliamentary body In
this or any other country" He con-
tinued:
1T is my deliberate Judgment that
If the King Of England had sent such
a message to Parliament there would
be but one thing to shield him from
the loss of his crown, and that would
be the appointment of regent"
The resolution was then passed
without roll call, and no opposing
vote was cast.

A Good Report on some of Them II
Observation-Disclosures Taken
For Benent Of Policy

Deputy Insurance Commissioner A. G.
Sexton returned yesterday morning
from Mobile, where he instituted an ex-
animation OF the affairs OF the Factors
and Traders Fire Insurance Company,
the Stonewaii Fire Insurance Company
and the Union Mutual Aid Association.
The former are the only Are insurance
companies organized under the laws OF
Alabama while the latter il negro orr
organization combining its insurance to
the lives of members Of that race.
The Investigation Of these companies
IL In accordance with the insurance
laws OF Alabama. which require a bi.
ennial inspection OF the books OF such
companies deriving their charters from
the State.
Deputy Commissioner Sexton left the
examination in charge OF G. s. Hun
man. OF Birmingham as actuary. who
will report to the Insurance Depart
ment here upon the completion OF his
work The investigation is expected to
disclose a stable condition IN the IRE
companies. These companies have been
operating In Mobile for a few years and
have gradually accumulated good
share OF the business OF that city. So
far they have confined their risks TO
the Gulf City, but may broaden their
operations at any time.
While Actuary Huffman n in Mobile
he will also look in on the books OF
the stonewali Mutual Ala Association,
which Is supposed TO be out OF oeslness.
There Is rumor that this mutual aid
organization has reinsured with the
Southern Mutual Aid -AEsocia.ion, Of
Birmingham, which operates exTens
sively over Alabama. Either the re-
insurance has taken place Or there Is
a move on foot for such an absorrtion.
The Stonewall Mutual Aid e the cor
poration which was reterreh 70 in Sck-
terdays Advertiser Ia connection with
a ruling OF the Attorney General about
81 900 of Mobile city bonds when had
been deposited by 1t with the Insurance
Department as an Indemnity fund. II
was given as the oplnlon OF the Attpr-
ney General that these assets could
not be seized instantly by the C0'n1.ts-
sioner to satisfy the Judgment or il dg-
Ynents against the Association by con-
verting into cash. The Commissioners
must conduct an examination nTst Cf
the company's affairs, and then render
a report to the Attorney ,ieneral. who,
II he sees that rhe facts warrant such
proceeding, shall institute suit ia
Chancery for a recsivership. Then a
decree may issue for all aavilable as
sets to be seized and distributed ann rig
the various claimants against the AS
ISOLATION.
IL is the disposition or the gnsul anee
Department to look with favor on the
class OF insurance companies krewn AS

are separate pro Visions of the insur-
ance code for their regulation. The
Department, of course. while realiz-
ing the great good coming from the
organizations in the way Of reducing
the cost of pauperism to State and

governing their operations. There
must be security to the policyholders.
