London, JAM 24.-The activ Of
Italian war vessels In the MediterIan-
can and Red seas Is causing increased
uneasinees In shipping insurance cir
cles. Several large insurances have
been effected during the last two days
at Lloyds in this connection. A prem
lum OF s per cent was accepted to cover
the risk Of an outbreak OF hostilities
between France and italy In the course
OF the next four months and. altho
there IL no apparent reason for such an
occurrence. a premium Of s per cent
was paid ON the risk Of the outbreak
OF war between Great Britain and
France and Germany within tho next
six months.
The italian action in stopping steam
ers Irrespective OF their nationality and
searching them for Turkish officers
and contrahand Is believed to be an
evidence of the determination Of the
italian government to put an end to
Turkish resistance in Tripoli as speed
lily as possible.
: It is thought, however. that the Ital-
ian activity may give rise to complica-
tions with those European powers
whose shipping is put to inconven-
ience.

STEPHENSON CASE ROW.
Senate Certain to Have Trouble Bc-
fore Case is Settled.
Especial Correspondence.l

Especial Correspondence
Washington. Jan. 2i.-1ndications
are the senate will have a nice row on
it's hands before 1t gets thru with the
case OF Uncle Ike" Stephenson OF Wis
consin. who has been under investiga-
ton by subcommittee of the privi-
ieges and elections committee on
charges OF corrupt practices in con-
nection with his election as senator.
Tho subcommittee. headed by sena-
tor Hepburn. which made the investi
cation. has made II report to the main
committee in which 1t finds the charges
are not sustained, that there is no
proof OF corrupt practices. and Il ey
onerates the octogenarian millionaire
from the allegations OF bribery.
This sub committee report, however.
has not yet been adopted by the privi-
leges and elections committee. The
committee will consider this report and
act on It finally at n meeting Feb. 3.
It has developed that there is sharp
difference Of opinion In the committee
about giving Senator Stephenson n
clean bill OF health. This difference
hos not fully developed but It is ex-
pected to when the committee takes
the report to the subcommittee up on
Feb. B.
The question Is whether the commit :
tee on privileges and elections and the
senate OF the United States are going
on record practically as sanctioning the
expenditure in an election OF such
enormous sums OF money as Senator
Stephenson admits he paid out In the
primary campaign In Wisconsin. He
admits that he expended 100000. but
he takes the position that so far as he
knows mono Of this money was expend-
ed corruptly.
SO far as this Is concerned, the sub
committee Investigation has not dis
closed proof that there was corrupt ex-
penditurc.
But this fact does not prevent n
number Of members Of the senate from
going about wondering just how It is
that the managers OF senatorial cam
paign can plaster state with S107. 900
In q primary fight and at the same time
use the funds with that due and strict
regard for the proprieties that the SEN
ate 10 supposed to demand Of the elec-
tions that make men part Of 1t.
Before the case IL closed. IN the COM
mittee and on the floor. there is going
to be definitely raised the important
point that the senate can not afford to
stand before the people OF the United
states 40 body willing to blink at
the fact that one Of its members has
expended huge sums such No were ex-
pended in tfliS care =. b. ss.s.aes - force

the price.
