A similar appointment was held by the late Thomas | Reed. .Any agent who gives rebates will be dismissed from the service and will not be re-emploved by any ofthe ment, It is_the desire of the companies to se- cure the co-operation of all other life in- surance companies in this agreement.

Already one mail box has been stolen bodily. ,It was not for what mall it contained- that it was taken, but for the purpose of giving the members of the gang one of the locks with which the box was fastened, a lock identically the same as those on every other box. The plan of the crooks is te carefully open the lock and maké a key to it. With this key It would be “possible to open every mail box in the city. One of the gang garbed in the uniform of a mail carrfer could then'secure the éontents of any box in the business district.

BALFOUR ISSUES CAMPAIGN PLEA Recent Brmsh Premler Dis- misses Fiseal ~ Reform With a Brief Reference ASSAILS. THE LIBERALS Says the Country Knows Members of Present Gov- ernment Chiefly as Crities LONDON, Jan. 2.—Arthur J. Balfour, the former Premier, issued his election address to-night. In it he says that the country knows the members of the pres- ent Governmént chiefly as ecritics, and’ that their criticlsm has been sometimes singularly unscrupulpous and perverse, as in the case of Chinese lgbor and other matters. The @ddress says: . One thing the Liberals regard as immutable, however the conditions of International trade may have changed, Is the fiscal policy of the country. I take the more extensive view and hold that the time has arrived to adapt Eng- land's fiscal policy to the changing conditions of a changing world. Should you return the TUnionist party to power it is to the reform of the fiscal system that Its attention ought first be directed, With this brief reference to fiscal re- form Balfour auits the subject.- He then proceeds to express his want of confi- dence in.Sir Edward Gray as Foreign Sec- retary, because, whatever his capacity to direct the Forelgn Office, there myst be two conditions in his favor—first,.a strong army and navy, without which in times of stress.dlplomacy must degen- erate either into Bluff or to_appeals for mercy; and, second, the support of a united Cabinet. Balfour says it is doubt- ful if these comditions can be fulfilled, .and continues: In fmperial matters the gulf which divides, say Ropert Perks (the Liberal member , for Fast Lindsley, Lincolnshire) from John Red- mond (leader of the Irish Natlonalist party) is immeagurable. No formuR can conceal it and no compromise can bridge it, The former Prefnfer concludes with an appeal for support on the personal ground of his twenty Years of.service. Joseph Chamberlain has lunged into the campaign with“all his old-time ardor. In the face of considerable opposition he de- livered two vlgorous speeches-at Birming- ham te-day. - Chamberlain asserted that he would “to-moffow put a duty onvluxu- ries apd forelgn® manufacteres, but would riot tax raw materials.”” With . Perence tp home rule, he told his constitu- ents that were it adopted “you will have in Ireland a sort of jumping-off place for every enemy of the country who desires to take the jump.” Chamberlain safd that he did not regard | John Redmond as dangerous, adding, “'so power we can afford to allow him to bluster as much as he flkes.” According fo well-informged gossip in Dublin fio great changes are expected in the Irish representation in Parliament. Rumor-says that Sir Anthony Patrick Mc- Donnell, the permanent Under Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, is busy in Dublin Castle shaping scheries fof the administration of ‘Ireland, but it is°said that the €abinet has already decided that no Irish bills will be presented in Parlia- ment durlns 1906.

BOSTON, Jan. 2—Thomas W. -Lawson, the foe, of the “Systent,”” makes a two- columu ‘announcement to-day predicting dire disaster 'to the country within the next few days—all kinds of stock market crashes and general chaos, as the result of stock manipulation, pools and the pres-: ent high money rates. He declares that the “System” has prepared a trap to swallow ‘up the $165,000,000 of *dividends and interest funds pald out tQ the coun- try at the first of the year, by telling the public to buy stocks_.at inflated prices and then dropping the bottom out_ of the market and getting the stocks back at low figures. Lawson says that one corporation of $50,000,000 capital has loaded the banks and trust companies, through dumrhies, with stocks by borrowing between $14,000,000 and $20,000,000 collateral. This it expects to sell to the public at between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000, or, in the event of a crash, to leave it on the hands of the banks. There is a jpker in Lawson's announce- ment, however. He says he is retrench- ing and husbanding® his resources, be- cause his pool has been hard hit, and he wants to corral stocks when the’ crash comes. Therefore, those papers not being pald for carrying his announcement are given permjssion to copy it free. ODESSA JEWV IN PERIL. Persistent Threats of a Massacre Are Causing Alarm.
