PEKING, Feb. 26.—At a meeting of | Foreign Office officials yesterday it was decided in effect with reference to the representations of the United States re- garding the sending of troops to the Phil- ippine Islands for Chinese contingencies | ment against foreigners; that the Boxer rising will never be repeated and that | the Government is able to handle all local The Government will in- struct Ministers abroad to make similar representations to all Governments. i Chinese officials are greatly worried and | | annoyed over reports circulated abroad that China is In a condition of unrest, | and the action of the United States has.| hurt their pride. The officials are par- | ticularly desirable at present to main-| tain order and gain the confidence of the | foreigners in order to secure the removai | of the foreign troops, whose presence is | considered a reflection on the good faith | of the Chinese Government. They say | the recent disturbances were severe | blows to them. as they were as anxious as foreigners for quiet, although for aif- ferent reasons. The Governor of Nanchang reports that six Catholic misslonaries were killed be- | sides an English family of four. An Eng- lish missionary named Marr is believed to have escaped slightly injured. Two others, named Bunting and Fife, were | also belleved to have escaped. According to the official report the | trouble arose in the course ‘of a lawsuit in which the Catholics became involved. The English missionaries were in no way concerned, but Sunday morning a mob attacked the missions indiscriminately. Sir E. M. Satow, the British Minister at Peking, has telegraphed to the British Consul at Kiuklang to proceed to Nan- chang, taking a gunboat as far as pos- sible, to Investigate the facts of the mas- sacre of missionaries there and help the survivors, Minister Satow today informed the Foreign Office officials regarding the. massacre. They expressed to him the deepest concern and regret, which un- doubtedly was genuine, the Govern- ment being particularly anxious to pre- erve good relations with foreigners at the present time. Only last week Prince Ching, on representations by the Japanese Minister and others that re- ports of anti-forelgn movements were current, telegraphed to all the Viceroys directing them to repress vigorously any signs of such a movement and to punish peoplé who were circulating the rumors. Chinese hostility to Catholics and non-Christians has been prevalent in the province of Kiangsi lately as in the provinces of Honan and Hupeh.

FEBRUARY 3 3 INSURANCE MEN REVEAL MORE FRAUD Investigation by Commis- sioners of Western States Uncovers Deals Ignored by Armstrong Committee LOAN OF NEW YORK LIFE'S SECURITIES | Transaction by Which Bank Got Government Funds on Borrowed Collateral Fully Disclosed by a Witness T Epecial Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—Astounding disclosures are contained in the report of the joint examination of the New York Life Insurance Company made by the Insurance Commissioners of Ten- nessee, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Minnesota. An advance copy of the report was secured today. The in- vestigation was begun on September 22 of last year and was prosecuted during the hearings of the Armstrong legisla- tive committee and was not completed the mliddle of last month. The missioners who conducted the in- were R. E. Folk of Ten- tigation | nessee, who acted as chairman: Henry E. Pruitt of Kentucky, Thomas D. O'Brien of Minnesota, John L. Plerce of Nebraska and Ceno M. Host of Wis- consin. The examination disclosed many evils in the management of the New York Life which were not uncovered by the Armstrong committee. An afdavit made by Edmund D. Randolph, treasurer of the New York Life, on Monday of last week contains an amazing admission. The following question was put to Randolph: “Has the compauy at any time in the | past lent auy of its non-taxable securi- ties to any bank, corporation or person for the purpose of emabling the bor- rower to aveld other purpose?” Randolph made this answer: The First National Bank of New York, from October 13, 1902, to June 2, 1904, borrowed from the company New ork City bonds and bonds of the State of Massachusetts aggregating $5,100,- 000 and as security for their return de- posited with the company satisfactory | collateral, which it at all times kept. | These bonds, under a speclal made by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. were lodged with the Treasurer of the United States in trust for the First National Bank of New York to enable that bank to re- ceive additional Government deposits. The transaction was finally closed on June 2, 1804, all of said bonds hav- ing been returned to the company. As conslderation of the loan of sald bonds the bank paid the company $50,742.26. The company in the meantime collect- ed, directed and retained as its own all interest the bonds by thelr terms bore as the Interest accrued, the bonds hav- ing continued meanwh!le to stand re stered in the name of this company In other words, to gect deposits of United States Government money, the First Natlonal Bank borrowed property belonging to the New York Life and put it into pawn with the Treasurer of | the United States to secure money ad- | vanced. An equally interesting affidavit was made by Edward Anderson, controller of the New York Life. This question was put to him, “It. appears that the ledger account ‘legal expenses’ show an expenditure by the company since January, 1888. of the sum of $1,815123.37. Of this sum $861,- 088.50 was paid to Andrew Hamilton and $1,054,084.87 to various other parties. State amounts and dates, what portion of this latter amount ;I‘asnpaidl lcl’rllhe purpose of aiding or de- eating legislation pendi - lative bodies.” & et Anderson’s sworn answer to this state- ment was as follows: “‘Examinations of vouchers other than those which were pald to Andrew Ham- {lton discloses items amounting to $7466 as having been pald for purposes of aid- ing or defeating legislation." The report of the five commissioners | of insurance covers eighty-three printed | pages. In the sectfon entitled, *Interest and rent due and accrued,” it makes a curfous disclosure concerning a loan of $500,000 made to B. H. Harriman, « The loan matured on June 14, 1905, but Harriman, in liquidating it, neglected to pay any interest. failed to discover the fact that Harriman | had pald no interest until the matter was called to its attention by the examiners employed by the Insurance commissioners and Harriman did not make good the in- terest charge until after January 1, 1906. The section in the report devoted to col- lateral loans shows that the New Yark Life is a twelfth participant in a loan of $6,000,000 made to Senator Willlam A. Clark by the First National Bank. The collateral against the loan are bonds of the 8dn Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Rallroad, which Senator Clark has No collateral whatever Is depos- ited with the New York Life to secure that company. Instead the company has only a letter from the vice president of the First National Bank of New York City stating that the bank holds this col- lateral for the insurance company. —_— - . \ gate leading to the royal palace on Fri- day, February 23, followed by the re- ceipt of a warning against révolution- ary students arriving In Peking, has precipitated a panic in the palace.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Mrs. Josef Hoff- man, wife of the famous pianist, formerly | the wife of George Peabody Eustls, is hurrying to this country from Europe to regain possession of her only child, George Morrs Eustis, who, it is asserted, was kidnaped by his father in Venice two weeks ago. a summons in habeas corpus proceedings upon the arrival of the Campania on the boy in court. Joseph LaRocque Jr. of the law firm of Choate, Hansford & LaRocque, Mrs. Hoffman's attorney, was given custody of the child until Mrs. Hoff- man shall arrive. It is asserted in the petition submitted in behalf of Mrs. Hoffman that while she was living in Paris with her husband and child her former husband, who was then in Venice, begged to have the boy visit him, agreeing to return him in weeks. When the time expired Mrs. Hoffman went to Venice, only to ‘be told by Eustls that he would never give their child up. She appealed to the Venetian courts, but before the decree was ren- | dered in her favor, she asserts, spirited his son away. OBTHI A CLEW INMURDER CASE Speclal Dispatch to The Call REDDING, Feb. 26.—An important { discovery in connection with the Brand Constable Jeff Crum of Keswick. In making a thorough search of the house of Mrs. Frances Moon, Constable Crum came across a valise filled with a wom- an’s clothes. A closer examination of the different articles of dress disclosed a shirt-waist and skirt with spots of | blood upon them. Crum immediately | came to Redding with his important discovery and in company with District Attorney Dozier paid Mrs. Saum a visit {in her cell in the county jall. When { shown the articles of dress Mrs. Saum had to acknowledge that hers, but vigorously claimed that the blood on them was from the nose of Charles Perdamits, who was injured in a fight with Frank Whipple on the evening of the murder.

PETERSBURG, Feb. | —Most alarming views with reference to rela- tions between Germany and France prevail in certain diplomatic guarters, where the situation is considered to be extrenfely tense and a conflict by no means unlikely. The Embassador of ome Europea power sald today that war, in nis opin- | ion, was Inevitable and had in fact al- | ready been decided upon. “It is sad,” added the diplomat, who Is not ranked among the admirers of Emperor Wil- linm, “that for the whims of one man Europe must be plunged into the hor- rors of war.” At the French embassy opinion as to the situation is frankly pessimistic, and the outlook at present is regarded as extremely serious, the view being that there is no telling what may be in store if the conference should break off and France and Germany be left face to face in an uncompromising po- sition. The abandonment of the French position is regarded as impossible. Emperor Willlam’'s toast at a ban- quet in Berlin yesterday, with its direct | allusion to the possibility of war, is | quoted with apprehension. The pessim- | ism, however, is not general and Ger- man circles particularly manifest far war is out of the quesilon. The Em- | peror's words are regarded in these German circles as merely natural | phrases applicable to his military func- ¢ tions. | Russian officials personally take a gloomy view of the outlook, and espe- | clally of the prospects of securing a | new loan abroad, but the Foreign Of- | fice is officially on record as trusting | that the dispute ultimately will work | out satisfactorily. ALGECIRAS, Feb. —M. Reveil, the principal French delegate, this after- noon handed to Herr von Radowitz, the first German delegate, a short note| from the French Government relative to the proposed Moroccan bank. point- | ing out that it was now for the con- | ference to discuss and decide the ques- tion and expressing the view that the French scheme did not prejudice com- merclal and economic equality. The French note further, in main- taining the police proposal of the dele- | sates representing that country. says | that a joint French and Spanish or- ganization would net affect the com- mercial position of the other powers in open ports in Moroeco. | The nature of this reply has caused | an increase of pessimism in quarters already inclined to predict the fallure of the conference.

The extent of Germany's proposals will be- come known only at Algeciras, where they will be communicated to the French delegates.
