La Correspondcncla de Espana reporU that the disagreement alleged to have taken place between Mr. Ilannia Taylor, minister to Spain, end tho Spanish minister of foreign aifalrs. the Duke of Tetuan. la due to two causes. First, It Is stated that Minister Taylor wanted the Cubn tariff reform. which, he claimed, were of especial interest to the United States, published at the same time as the political reforms. This tho Spanish Covernment opposed. The second cause is paid to have been of a more serious nature, for, it is asserted, the American government, not content with tho adoption of the tariff schedules favoring foreigners generally, wanted a special tariff discriminating in favor of American goods. To this the Duke of Tetuan strenously objected, urging that the consent of the other powers could not be obtained to an arrangement of this character. Hatch Dolicrty Back from Cuba. CINCINNATI, O.. Feb. 1. A special to the Commercial Tribune from Bluffton, Ind., says: Hon.

About all the money they get is from the soldiers, and the Spanish take most of that away la the shape or taxes. Tho situation of the insurgents is desperate. They are brave soldiers, but lack the power of organizing. With a statesman as a leader Cuba might maintain an independent existence. Planters Cannot Grind Sugar Cane. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. The State Department Is endeavoring to relieve the American sugar planters in Cuba from the embarrassing position in which they are situated as a result of tho attituda of the Spanish authorities towards those who attempt to grind cane.

EMPTY COFFIN BURIED

DE 1CALD COLWTY PEOPLE BELIEVE C0FFI.M1EIUIY IS SOT DUAD. The ForKer nnd Ilnnker, Who Wan lie. ported to Hnve Killed Himself, Said to Re n Fugitive. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WATERLOO. Ind., Feb. l.-A report has been so extensively circulated through this section for the past few days that many people belle vo Mr. H. N. Cofllnberry, the late banker and embezzler, to be alive and a fugitive from justice, instead of a dead man and in his grave. At first it was supposed and announced that CoIIinberry's death was caused by heart failure, but the fact soon leaked out that he took his life in his own hands by taking a dose of somo stroiig drug. At the time of his death Dr. Ruchtcl, the physician who went with tho deputy sheriff to arrest Coilinberry, examined tho medicines left by the attending physician and taken by Cofllnberry, and claimed that they would so affect the system as to cause a sinking spell. Just before Cofllnberry was arrested the last timo he took a dose of some medicine and almost simultaneously sank to the floor as if dead. His attending physician war, called and as soon as ho arrived he ordered everybody out of the room while ho tried to bring the patient b.lck to consciousness. Of course, ho failed, and, as reported. Mr. Cotlinberry's death was widely announced. A metal cottin was secured and a funeral held, and after the burial a dynamite, torpedo was placed on top of the cottin. During all this time, it is said, the cotlin was never opened to the public. The circumstances have thrown an air of mystery around tho at'fair, and none more so than the precautions taken to prevent anyono tampering with the grave. There are also other surrounding circumstances causing many to belie vo the cotlin was weighted and burled without an occupant, and that Mr. Cofllnberry was brought back to consciousness and is now a fugitive from justice. The story has gained such credence that an investigation is believed to bo necessary. RIGHT SORT OF GOSPEL athan nnd Rather Frame Triumph Over Ilunhvllle Sinner. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: For ways that are dark and tricks that arc not in vain, the State University's lobby can beat them all. Tho story that was told two years ago may not be true, but many a man has been hanged on not half as conclusive circumstantial evidence. It was told that after the lobby got its bill through to tax the people $200,000 annually, in addition to the $44,200 already provided for and special appropriations as occasion may demand, the leader of the lobby, throwing himself back in his chair with a chuckle, brought his hand down to his knees, saying: "Didn't we work 'em fine?" Of course they did. They never fail never in thirty years; and it never had the Legislature in hand better than now. In the trustees' report to the Governor, assuming that the Rubicon had been crossed and retreat by the State was impossible, they unfolded their plans and showed that, to carry them out, certain betterments of the plant are a "pressing need" and modestly estlmf.te that $250,000 would meet the present emergency. Now, no one can call in question the absolute and Immediate demand for the improvements suggested if the State intends to carry out the scheme proposed by the university people. The sooner they are made the better, and similar enlargements and betterments must follow indefinitely under the skillful management of the endless chain they have so adroitly put in motion; so that we are in for millions instead of hundreds of thousands before the chain gets through its workings. The announcement that the lobby will not.push its wants immediately i only a strategic retreat to gat a betterready; it is not any abandonment of purpose, for to abandon that is to forfeit all that was gained two years ago. if not all that was gained thirty years ago when the State Board of Education restored to the Constitution what had been deliberately eiiminated by the constitutional convention. But the money question is the least Important part of the lobby's achievements. That it has managed to raise its annual receipts from $3,000 in 1SJ7 to $214,200 in lsyr besides such a sure thing on the treasury that Purdue confidently asks for $54.0uO and Bioomington shows that an extra $250 000 Is a.Vprf.lssin.g necd-" is nothing, compared with tho absolute control it has secured of the entire common school system of the State, through the operations of its endless chain. The State Board of Education 13 now composed of the heads of the three branches of the university system, and of the superintendents of three or lour city schools, most, if not all, of whom are, by adroit management, selected with an eye to their loyalty to the university and Its branches, together with the state superintendent, who is always a believer in the validity of the State Board's amendments to the Constitution which restored the university to the place from which the constitutional convention had deliberately ejected it. and tho Governor, who is presumed to be loyal to the traditions of the board; and every bill so far Introduced In either branch of the Legislature purporting to amend the school law practically retains this same university junto as the directing force of our common school system, under whose manipulations the nonstate Institutions are wholly Ignored as an educational force, though affording more than threefourths the graduates of the State in the liberal arts; and the private normal schools and city training schools, some of which are in no sense one whit Inferior to the State Normal. The friends and patrons of these schools and colleges are not only compelled to keep them up because the State cannot and does not afford educational facilities of that grade for all who demand them, but they are compelled to contribute annually also to the $214,200 which goes to maintain the state schools, and to the frequent appropriations of large sums besides, only to find themselves legislated against by th lobby which controls the Legislature in the interest of the university and its branches. A diploma from one or mere of these is an open sesame to rank among teachers that no other diplomas can be, no matter what the scholastic merits of Its owner. This draws to the state schools hundreds who never would go but for this bonus, and It Is but truth to say that they are not usually of tho highest type of manhood or womanhood. Tho heroes In such work are those who depend upon their merits, not on certificates, for p'ace, and who scorn the offered bounty. But this swells the numbers, and swollen numbers make a demand for more room, to put up more buildings an endless chain, you see. It is because of this working of this endless chain that the lobby kindly consents to wait two years for that $250,000. By that time the machinery now working so smoothly wl!l have so crowded present accommodations that the money will come without trouble. In no bill that I have examined is this outrageous discrimination against the nonstate school even attempted to be cured. uut it win not always he thus. The people of Indiana spoke once, three to one, against including collegiate and professional education in their public school system and they will speak again. The action

of tho State Board of Kducatlon in 1S07 has never been indorsed by them, and never will be. The resolution which did the work was a clandestine movement, to which public attention was never called, and very little did the Legislature that grudinly voted the first JS.uoO ever dream that that sum would become $300,000 in thirty years, as it is now, including the SCd.Oco that Purdue University asks for. and not Including the JCXOOO which h? postponed, not abandoned. If this IRisdature has not the pluck to meet it a subsequent Legislature will. The Supreme Court has decided that the State University is a private corporation. It bus no more claim upon the public treasury than Wabash or De I'auw, or any other private corporation has; it has no more right to dictate the educational policy of the State than either of the other colleges has. and its snubbing of them in connection with Fchool management, by ignoring their work, will be resented in the near future by a repeal of the taxing law of 1515 and the cancellation of the so-called bonds, and It will be reduced to the ranks, just as lt was for sixteen years after the adoption of the new Constitution. Any attempt by this Legislature to take the School lioard out of its hands will prove a failure, but the people will be heard frnm cf nrn lnnsr II. L. SLIL. from before long. Indianapolis. Jan. SO. LIFE INSURANCE. The Ileaerve t'ndcr Two Syntems, tbe Assessment and Old Line. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: There are only two kinds of life Insuranceone the 'assessment plan" and the other what is known as "old line." The first is not required to maintain any reservo against its policy contracts, and the other is required to maintain a reserve, in most States, according to the American table of mortality and 4 per cent, interest, and in none, I believe, less than the actuary's or combined table of experience and 4 per cent. I know there are advocates of flexible premium, or third kind, but as that kind does not have to maintain any reserve it is correctly classed by the different State insurance authorities as assessment," the right being reserved to "assess" for more money at any timo desired. The first contemplates cheap or low-priced insurance and a low quality of insurance, leaving out the element of reserve, leaving it "in tho vest pocket of the policy holders." It was at first contended that the increase in membership, "getting in new blood," could be depended upen to prevent increase in cost by reason of tho members growing older. That fallacy has been, by bitter experience, more bitter to their certificate or policy holders than to the officers, been ground out of even the best of the concerns doing business en that plan. They are now all turning their attention to providing a reserve to aid the increase in membership, in preventing increase in cost to the members, claiming, I believe, in their literature, that their respective "reserves" are amply sufficient for that purpose, but to be certain and escape responsibility from accounting for even this reserve, providing, in various ways. In the fine print of the contract, for the invariably more and more premium in the event of their new plan not working, and some are making this reserve quite as large as the reserve according to the table above named, but retaining the uncertainty of premium cost to the policy holder. Somo make the amount the Iollcy holder shall pay certain, but leave tho amount to be paid as a death loss uncertain, and thus achieve the same end the uncertainty of cost and no liability of accounting for even this reserve, either to the policy holder or the State authorities. This is where "mortuary," "emergency" and "guarantee" funds come in. Any such reserve becomes, when in the company's, society's or association's hands, some such name as the above, with the result that it becomes a general fund, available to pay any and all of the debts of the concern, and a3 between the policy or certificate holders the ono that contributed his $1,000 or $r.000 to it has no individual interest in it. No one has, and the assessment concerns havir-g been allowed to make these provisions without any legal requirement to account for it, no matter how large it be, in their annual reports to policy holders or state auditors, or to maltaln It. this ha3 become tho fruitful field of the "organizer." The fld is inviting, the cost and risk ire small, the opportunities immense, and tl.o people, the Legislature and insurance authorities are .lov.' to anger and quick to forget for any schemes worked in the gv.iso of life insurance. And here is where the greater "debt-paying power" Is claimed for them. The same contention might be made that bank3 would ru-ve a greater debt-paying power if they did not have to maintain their reserve in somo decent proportion to their deposits, and one contention Is as sound as tho other. If tho. banks had concealed In their "conditions" the right to "assess" their depositors for more money, to not keep individual accounts with tlum. but only keep om general emergency-fund or safety-fund account, and if their depositors failed to deposit it the amounts to "assessed" or called for, then that such depositors should forfeit the money that they had already deposited, they would be saf banks for tho bankers. Well, so there are safe life insurance companies doing businc3s on the assessment or flexible premium plan safe for the officers of the concern. The second kind, the "old line," have to maintain the reserve as stated, and having to maintain it, it becomes an individual reserve, with the reserve and its accumulated interest not available for any other purpose than to pay the company's debt to that policy holder. The resions!bIIity of having to do this comes of writing definite contracts. Such responsibility is avoided by not writing definite contracts. So the "old line" beccmes insolvent when the yearly valuation of its policies, according to tho required standard, the amount it should have in gilt-edge securities, whether on deposit with the state auditor or not, is moro than the assets of the company, and Its impaired reserve- may be apportioned among its policy holders in the proportion in which they contribute it. Without its interest accumulations it is ell he has paid in, less his share of expenses of death losses, and with such Interest may bo more than his total payments. The assessment and flexible premium plan's answer to this is that If the company had only issued a doubtful contract, one that had an "emergency" or a "safety" clause, it could have avoided insolvency by assessing its policy holders for enough to make good the reserve. This is not a "straw mar." set up to be knocked down. It is tho substantial assesment or flexible premium man. The answer to that is. when such right is reserved it unavoidably carries with it the right to not asses, to not mako good tho Impaired reserve; so it is not done. It might frighten the rnemberth substantial assessment or flexible premium company may go on in what they call "technical insolvency," but which in fact, a real one. until tho last dollar is gone. Such a reserve is not a reserve frtwi-

In the meaning of any law, and the policyholder who had paid in his ten ytars on his ten-payment life ir contract may now bo called on. per his insurance contract, to answer tho "assessment" call. Of two necessary evils choose the bast. Ought not any concern be required to maintain a fund, whether their contracts have an "if" in them or not? If it proioscs to maintain it, under whatever name, for the Lenetit cf tho policy holder, ought they net be required by law to maintain lt for the benefit of the individual policy nolder who paid it in. and oupht not all companies not required to maintain any such Individual reservo bo prohibited from writing or pretending to write the "whole" or "limited payment llfo" or "endowment" itolicies. and some recrulations le provided that do regulate companies, whether homo or forelpm? House bills Nos. 27s and 279 ought r.ot to pass. And this brings me to notice tho difference In receiverships. The receivership of the second-named kind, ("old lln-") i.- to apportion the impaired reserve among tho policy holders who paid It in. The receivership of the next-named class ("assessment or flexible premium") Is to assess the membership, whether they hold ten-payment life or a polity requiring no reserve, to pay the unpaid death losst-s of the concern and the t-xpenses cf Ki ttling the thin.? in court, with all Fo-called life insurance contracts declared off.
