A curious point was disclosed In
the House Of Lords debate on the As
surance Companies bill. Lord St Aid
wyn said that under the existing law
which had never been observed
policies to meet the funeral expenses
of a parent were Illegal.
There had thus grown up, he said
a system under which collectors had
visited houses and persuaded women
to insure a sum to cover the funeral
expenses of persons in whom they
had no insurable interest The whole
thing was really a gamble.
Lord Hamilton, Of Dalezil flor the
government), said that the position
botA for policy-holders and companies
might be very unfortunate unless leg
lslation- took place such as was pro
posed. There was danger that some
thing like a panic, with disastrous re
suits, might ensue. The governmen
had been in communication with the
collecting societies and industrial ar
surance companies, who, having had
a very great fright in consequence O
recent legal decisions, undertook tha'

Washington, July 3O.-The Payne
Aldrich tariff bill is completed An
agreement on all disputed points was
reached yesterday afternoon and at
4:55 the conferees report was signed
by the Republican conferees.
1t goes to the House today and will
be voted on by that body on Saturday
The Senate will begin consideration
of the measure as agreed to by the
conferees on Monday.
After struggling over the president S
mandate in relation to the rate on
lumber and gloves throughout tae en-
tire day the conferees surrendered to
the executives view and signed the
report. The House may be called to
meet at 10 o'clock on Saturday for 1t
is the intention of the leaders that the
report shall be pushed through in one
legislative day. Probably week will
be required to dispose of the confer
ence report in the senate.
Not content WITH issuing an injunc-
ton against the high rates on these
articles, the president specified that
hides must go on the free list and the
House rates on boots and shoes and
other manufactures of leather reduc-
ed. Hosiery too. he thought should
be reduced below the House rates,
which were advances over the Ding
ley duties.
Speaker Cannon has been one of
the chief supporters of the House
rates on gloves. He said he believ-
ed these rates were necessary to slim
ulate manufacture in women's gloves.
The House rates were adopted at
his suggestion and because they be-
lieyed in his argument
When the speaker concluded his
visit to the conference chamber he
hurried down the corridor without
stopping. One of the waiting news
paper correspondents asked him if
the confereos had finished
Il am not member of the confer
ence committee. How do l know"
responded the speaker
His reply, however, was garnished
with certain emphatic expressions
which gave 1t considerable weight
The speaker wore the unmstakable
air of man who had capitulated be-
fore a superior force.
In view of the action of the confer.
ees in putting hides on the free list
a concession also was made to the cat
tie industry by taking tallow off the
free list. where IT had been placed by
the conferees and restoring it TO the
