After setting forth the facts that the legislatures of twenty-one States have enacted laws forbidiing rebates under pen-, alty; that such laws have generally been a dead letter; that companies have placed thmselves, without exception, in opposition to rebating, and that the practice can ba suppressed only by tho active, organized co-operation of all life companies, tho resolutions say: "That each of the subscribed companies agrees that It will not nay or allow, or oiler to pay or allow, nor permit any person connected with it in any capacity to pay or allow, or offer to pay or allow any rebate of premium In any manner whatsoever, directly or Indirectly; that a referee who has no official connection with any life insurance company shall be appointed, who shall examine Into and decide all charges of rebating by agents or others, and whose decision ehall be final; that on the decision of the refereo that any person connected in any capacity with any subscribing company has made any rebate such person shall immediately bd dismissed from the service of said company, and shall not, for a period of two years thereafter, be atrain employed by any company party to tho agreement." The referee is empowered to procure prosecutions for violation of the laws against rebating, and to employ counsel to assist. A furrd of S10.00Q is to be made up and maintained in the referee's hands by assessments on the subscribing companies. Vhe referee is to receive a salary of $2.0uO a year and his incidental expenses, and is to be further allowed an amount not exceeding $3,000 for a secretary and clerical assistance. The agreement is to go into effect on Nov. 1 next. Ex-Governor William E. Russell, of Massachusetts, was suggested as the referee called for in the agreement. CLEVELAND AT NEW YORK.

Proposed Reconstruction of the Sew ernge System ot the Capital City CITY OF MEXICO, Oct, 13. Now. that Jlhe work on the grand canal and tunnel, the most important parts of the project for draining the city and valley of Mexico, are substantially completed, attention is being turned to plans suggested for reconstructing the entire sewerage system, of the city. President Diaz informs the city government that a resolution will be Introduced immediately in Congress appropriating $25,000 monthly for ten years to aid in reforming the city sewers, provided the City Council will appoint a board of directors to take charge of this money. The total cost of the work is estimated variously from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 and tho result is pretty closely computed by competent engineers to be a certain reduction of the present heavy death rate by one-half. Several large concerns are in the field for the contract. The Central Methodist Conference of the Methodist Church (South) I3 In session in this city.

They have captured the wild rr.gr., end he Is tafe under lock and kc;4 Women and children and not a few men have boen frightened when on the vads at night,, because It was said a hairy creature, a cress between a man and a dog, had taken the place of the White Caps In alarming the people. One day a child ran screaming into th village. She had been chestnutlng, and, hearing a noise, looked up. She saw a great shaggy head.jprd fl?d. Fhe man-atd-to reach h6ni?;ttd told of the awful dog that had followed her a little ways on its hind feet. From that time on mothers otten saw something peering in the windows nights and heard th? soft tread of a heavy l;cdy around their homes. On Monday Ira Souies and hia three companions came up the road from the Protfciorv property, driving before their leveled guris a hideous object. It was the will man. fc'oules and his party were cut hunting when Joules saw a something asleep m the irround. He called the others in a low tone, and they surrounded the cbject. fit was a man, and lay under an overhang ing iP'lge on a oeu 01 muss au;i I'uiuriiuiva. His long, shaggy hair and whiskers were full of twigs and dry leaves. He had a tattered coat and a nair of trousers ar.d wore a long pair cf felt boots. On the back of his head was a can made of a trousers leg. Soules discharged one barrel of his guii In the air and the wild man awoke with a yell. He leaped into the air and clutched his vhlskrrs as he started to back awav from Soules' s gun. ' . . "Halt!" came from one of the men behind, and turning the creature saw he wa3 surrounded. He then drew himself into te smallest po'.bie shape. ani a hideous frfln was framed by the half-hidden mouth. Hair and whiskers almost buried his eyes and nose, and the sisht really unnerved his captors. Iowx growls and guttural grunts followed In quick succession. Soules ordered him to walk ntraight to the village and the man obeyed like a dog. Two men walked behind him ar.d one on each side as they started. He made one attempt to escape, but the cocking of the guns stopped him. The whole village turned out to greet the captors, and. keeping a safe distance from the freak of the mountains, watched him grin and growl. The captive w as turned over to the superintendent of the poor, who will have him sent to an insane asylum. IN WALLER'S BEHALF. Petition That Will lie Presented to Congress When That Body Sleets. NEW YORK, Oct. 13. Ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn, John Guthrie, A. M. Thomas and others, who have interested themselves in behalf of John L. Waller, are hopeful that the petition and circular letter which have been sent 'broadcast through Kansas will bear good fruit and will obtain the release of the ex-consul from the prison In which he is confined. The petition is addressed to Congress, and asks that an investigation be made of the cause of Waller's arrest and imprisonment by France. After presenting the case of the ex-consul, the petition says, In part: "Your memorialists are Informed that, while John 1. Waller and his family were domiciled in Madagascar and in rightful possession of a valuable land grant beBtowed upon him by the lawful government, he was wrongfully and forcibly arrested by a body of soldiers, commanded by an officer of the republic of France, and summarily sentenced by a pretended court-martial to be confined In prison for twenty years, and that he was denied a hearing before any tribunal, and that he Is now wrongfully imprisoned and deprived of his liberty and property. Your memorialists respectfully pray Congress to Institute an Investigation of the cause of the imprisonment of John E. Waller, and that he be protected in his personal rifjhts and property as an American citizen." letter from the Ex-Consnl. CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 13. Charles T. Maxwell, a colored medical student in this city, has received a letter from ex-Consul John I. Waller. The letter is dated "Malson Centrale, Da Clalrvaux, France, Sept. S." After thanking Mr. Maxwell for expressions of sympathy contained in a letter, he had written to the ihfprlsoned man, Mr. Waller says: "It gives me great pleasure to know that I have the sympathy and support of the American people, who are using every honorable means and endeavor to secure me my liberty, which to an American Is dearer far than life. I am a : victim of circumstances, and whether I shall finally receive justice at the hand of the French people or perish in a foreign prison, by virtue of a hasty . conviction rendered by a court-martial in the heat of excitement under false circumstances rests with God and the American people, in whose action and righteous judgment I have the most implicit confidence. That It is the desire or intention of the French, aa a government, to do me an injustice I do not for a moment believe. . I am also consoled In the knowledge of the fact that the American people, true now as- always to their long-estaMlshel creed and numerous precedents touching ;he protection of American citizens abroad, will not permit an lnj;:itlce to be inflicted upon ons of their citizens by a foreign nation, no matter how humble be that citizen.

EVIDENCE FURNISHED BY DL'RRAXT THAT MAY. CONVICT HIMSELF. Ills Conversation with Miss Carrie Cnnnlna-ham. the Xewspnper Reporter, Revealed by the Prosecution. ALLEGED FATAL ADMISSIONS TOLD IIER IIC SAW TIIE BODY OF DLANCnC LAMOXT OX TIIE STAIRS, That She Was Mnrdercd on the Second Landing: find that Part of a PictureFrame Cover Wa Removed. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Oct. 11-Now that Durrant has told his story on the witness stand and has made answers to all the accusations Implied by the crossquestions of the prosecution, an impression exists among those who have watched the trial closely that there Is something to come which will, perhaps, have more effect on the minds of the jurymen as regards the guilt or Innocence of the defendant than anything that has gone before. Tills feeling is due to the confidence with which Disvtrict Attorney Barnes put a series of startling questions relating to-a conversation held by Durrant with a newspaper reporter, Miss Carrie Cunningham, at the county jail, within the pa3t week, and also touching on the address and indorsement of a certain envelope which may or may not have contained a confession. The prosecution's witnesses will seek to show by their testimony that Durrant mado admissions which destroy the whole fabric of the defense. These alleged admissions are taken by the prosecution as coming from the one person on earth who knows all that occurred beneath the belfry of the" Emanuel Baptist Church on the afternoon of April 3. The record of what passed at the county jail betveen Miss Cunningham and Durrant is thus told by the prosecution, which is in possesion of the full facts: On the evening of Sept. 22 Miss Cunningham visited Durrant at the county jail, and during the course of their conversation Durrant showed her a small envelope which bore the . following address and indorsement: 'Messrs: Dickinson & Duprey: "To be opened in case I am convicted. To be returned to me i case I am acquitted." Durrant told the young lady that the envelope contained a complete statement of all that had occurred at Emanuel Baptist Church on tho afternoon of April 3. He said that it had been written in order, that his attorneys might know, the facts in the event of his being convicted cf the murder of Blanche Eamont. On the following evening, Sept 23, Miss Cunningham again visited Durrant at the county Jail,' and was there shown a large . envelope ad dressed like the ctner and smaller one. Durrant told her that the contents of the other envelope had become Jammed up and that he had transferred the written statement tof the larger envelope. On the morning of Oct. 3 Miss Cunnigham held a conversation with Durrant at the cmty Jail, and during the course of that conversation and in answer to questions asked by the youag lady, he said that at about 5 o'clock on the afternoon of April S, he "ascended the space between the ceiling and the roof of Emanuel Baptist Church for the purpose of fixing one of the sun burners. While at work he heard a noise, which at once attracted his attention. It seemed to come from that part of the building where the belfry Is situated, lie walked along In the direction from .whence the sound came, and peered through the opening that connects the space above the celling with the interior of the belfry tower. While in thi3 position he saw the body of Blanche Lament lying on the second landing of the belfry stairs. He repeated the details of the circumstances and added that Blanche Lamont was murdered on tho second landing cf the belfry stairs. Miss Cunningham then said: "Oh, yes; it wa3 from the second landing of the stairs that the blood dripped down and stained the cloth-covered picture frame on the floor below?" Durrant replied that there was no blood on the cover of the picture frame, as "wo have had the stains analyzed and find they were made by water, not blood." An official - inspection was made of the cloth-covered picture frame referred to aa beins stained by blood. This inspection revealed the fact that the piece of cloth cover, one inch by two inches in size, had been cut from the frame in the center of one of the largest blotches of stains. As this was not done by any one connected with the prosecution, the inference is drawn that it was done by some 'one interested In the defense, and that It was for the purpose indicated by Durrant's alleged statement regarding the analysis. THREATS OF LYNCHING. Militia Ready to Protect a Constuble'M Alleged Murderers. NEW YORK, Oct. 13. A dispatch from Columbia, S. C. says: This morning, at Greenwood, S. C, J. J.

A rumor Is current that detectives have traced the murder of Mrs. Sherman and Mrs. Davis, in Bust!, last December, to the hands of Emmet Blttles and three companions, who, with him, were recently arrested and convicted of torturing an old woman near Union City, Pa. They are now serving time in a Pennsylvania penitentiary for that crime, vhlch was committed shortly after the Sherman-Davis murders. The rumor says that a chain of evlderice is being forged whlcrv will implicate these men in the murders, and show that others of the same gang were here at that time. 'Blttles is quite well known In this city, and ho and his "pals" quite frequently visited here, always in a quiet and mysterious way. and the theory is that he and his companions knew of the intentional absence of the Bherman family from home on the afternoon of the day that tho murders were committed.

TOO KICK FOR A POLICEMAN. Ogicer O'Ronrke, Worth $5O0(O0O, Retired by Commissioner Roosevelt. NEW YORK, Oct. 11 Policeman Thomas O'Rourke has been retired by President Roosevelt after a service of twelve years. O'Rourke says that the only charge brought against him was that he possessed too much money. When called before the police commissioners he drove to headquarters in a carriage, taking along h!s own coachman, who assisted him to alight. He wore a profusion of diamonds and his clothes were of the latest pattern. O'Rourke explains his possession of so much wealth in a very few words. He used to be on night duty in Morrlsania, in the extreme northern suburb of the city. While there he realized that real estate would increase in value with the gradual extension of the city limits, and he accordingly bought a few- lots. In this way he got a start. He continued to speculate, and is now worth nearly J500.000. He has been building some flat houses on his property, and when on duty, it is alleged, he paid more attention to Ms flats than he did to the business of the department. President Rooevelt warned him several times, and finally turned O'Rourke's picture to the wall. To his comrades O'Rourke Is known as "Brorky, the millionaire." This case cf suddenly acquired wealth Is by no means the only one that has come under the notice of the commissioners. There are quite a number of policemen in the pay of the city who have made mbney in legitimate, real-estate speculation. FIGHT NOW PROBABLE GOVERNOR CIARKE, HOWEVER, SAYS IT WON'T BE A PRIZE FIGHT. Modification of His Iterent Statement That Will Give the Sports at lint Springs Renewed Hope. LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 13.-"There may be a fight r.t Hot Springs, but it wen't be a prize fight," said Governor Clarke to a reporter this afternoon. "I earnestly hope that extreme measures will not be necessary, r know those people, every one of them, and they are my friends, and I should very much regret to be compelled to adopt harsh methods, but the law gives me the authority and supplies the means, and, if the necessity arises, I shall certainly prevent the fight at any cost." The Governor finds that the law of 1S51 was not legally enacted, leaving the State without a law cn the subject of prize fighting. The law cf 183, in his opinion, invests In the executive ample authority for carrying out the policy he has decided to adopt. This law docs not refer to prize fights, .but rather to riots and rebellion. Under Its operation the Governor is allowed almost unlimited latitude and could declare the district in which the "disturbance" occurs to be In rebellion against the tate and cculd not only drive out by force all the parties connected with the disturbance, but could Imprison without process of law.

Good Government Clnbs of New York Don't like the Plattltrs. NEW YORK, Oct. 13. The executive committee of the Good Government clubs issued an addresj to-day setting forth its reasons for opposing the fusion, ticket. They say that if the committee cf fifty had effected a union on a non-partisan platform in Fupport of non-political candidates it would have been acceptable to them. The address continues: "Thj committee of fifty disregarding the resolution undr which it was appointed bought from the leaders of the Republicans and of the State Democracy, by promises of money and moral support, certain admirable Judicial nominations.. The other places on the ticket it conceded to party spoils. So long as the honorable and wealthy men of this city are willing tojend the weight of their names and the" power of their resources in an attempt to purchase government from the politicians we shall have corrupt government by whatever party name it may be called. -The argument for the fusion ticket is said to be the choice of evils, one which was used in 18D-) to gain support for the People's Municipal League, and because of which fifty thousand voters stayed away from the polls." The report then says: "The people of this city cannot close their eyes to the fact that the committee of. fifty has made an alliance with Piatt. .They remember that last winter Piatt's machine refused tcy grant us police reform, defeated all efforts to improve the public schools, derided and repudiated the very principle of civil service reform, which Republican representatives had embodied in the Constitution of the State, and, rejecting a simple and effective ballot law, imposed upon you a law framed to disfranchise independent voters and facilitate bribery at the polls."
