The players waited a half hour beyond 3 o'clock in the vain hope that the rain wonld clear off and then walked moodily onto the ground, some in their over coats. Chicago went in first and Ryan was thrown out at first base. Then Pettit treated the spec tators to an interesting exhibition of base stealing and reached home, s:oring the first run. Anson made a two-base hit, and then Pfeffcr raised much enthusiasm by hitting a ball over the 'fence, enabling Anson to reach home and himself running all the bases. Chi cago closed the inning for three runs. All-America followed and were soon put out without scoring. Chicago made two in the sec ond inning, and All-America following, did some fine hitting and scored two runs. Chi cago in the third scored one. All-America again failing to score.

A Serlons Swelling on His Neck Prevents His Fighting. Tommy Hogan, thelocal featherweight nugil 1st, accompanied by a fewlriends, called at this offlcelast evening and stated that there must have been some misunderstanding regarding his match with Shay. He says that the match was unauthorized, and that he is certainly in no condition to even take exercise with a pair of big gloves. A look at Hogan settles this point He has a large and serious swelling on his neck, and Is under the treatment of a prominent physician. The latter states thit Hogan ought rather to be in. bed than anywhere near a prize ring. if ogan's backers, however, state that as soon as bis nect Is better he will fight Shay for $400 or $500, It may, however, be a long time before be recovers.

The Scheme to Consolidate Syracuse's Breweries Falls Through. rSFECIAI.TELrGBjLX TO THX DISPATCILt Syeacuse, X. Y., March 20. If there is to be a Beer Trust in Syracuse it will be under different auspices than have been so much talked of during the last three months. The millions of money from out side of Syracuse that were to furnish the Syracuse Brewing and Malting Company with big capital have failed to materialize. Outsiders who looked upon the sew corpor ation as a very independent concern, were surprised a month ago to see the New Tork newspapers printing advertisements offering for sale $1,800,000 of the company's $3,000. 000 of securities. It was said that the books in the New York brokers' offices would re main open only ten days for subscriptions. The public, however, did not rush into the scheme so eagerly as might have been ex pected from the favorable showing made in the company's prospectus. To-day the time allotted for the consummation of the scheme expires, and the scheme itself expires. A gentleman connected with the brewing interests said to-day that the proposed com pany was a failure. He said that the sub scriptions to the company's securities, in New York had been disappointing, small. and indeed, compared with thelarge amount it was proposed to raise, they were merely nominal. The local brewers, he said, are out nothing, as tbe New York brokers who undertook to engineer the matter stand the expense incurred. There is talk among the brewers,now that the matter of operating all the breweries' in this city underone manage ment has been discussed, of forming a com pany among themselves. Those in tavor of the plan assert that the agitation of the scheme that has just fallen through has educated those interested to the benefits to be derived from consolidated management. A meeting will probably soon be held to take action in the matter. ENGLAND AND SAMOA. The Government Is in Entire Accord With the United States. London; March 20. A Blue Book on Samoan affairs -was issued to-day. It con tains 356 dispatches, the dates ranging from April 29, 1885, to February 28, 1889. The dispatches show that England has been throughout in cordial accord with America, and that she declines to accede to Ger many's request for assistance and co-operation in the restoring of order in Samoa until she had learned the American Govern ment's views on the subject. On January 29 last Lord Salisbury com plained to Count von Hatzfeldt, German Ambassador at London, concerning Prince Bismarck's statement in the Reichstag that in Samoa Germany and England were "ad vancing hand in hand.' The British Prime Minister said that the views of the two countries were identical as far as the future government of Samoa was con cerned, but not otherwise. A DIAMOND THIEF PARDONED. Fanny Davenport and Another Woman Have a Little fepnr. Nashville, Tex., March 20. Governor Taylor to-day pardoned Charles Talbott, who, as clerk of the Gavoso Hotel in Mem phis stole 5125,000 worth of diamonds from Fannie Davenport. Quite a lively scene occurred in the Governor's office in connec tion with the pardon to-day. A Mrs. Fetter, who had taken an interest in getting Talbott pardoned, claimed that she could be given the credit of getting tbe pardon, and to-day Beoresentative Odium, of Memphis, secured the document from Governor Tavlor with the intention of giving it to Miss Davenport to carry to Talbott. Mrs. Fetter got very angry at this, and informed Mr. Odium that as she had done all the work in securing the pardon, she did not propose to have any actress use it as an advertising scheme. WE CAN'T BUI CUBA. The Spaniards Declare They Will Fight for Their Territory. Madeid, March 20. In the Senate to day Senor Moret, Minister of the Interior, in reply to a question said that the Govern ment had no knowledge of a scheme to sell Cuba to the United States. He declared that there was not enough money in the whole world to buy the smallest portion of Spanish territory, and that if necessity should arise Spaniards would know how to defend their country's soil. THE POPE WlIJi COME HERE, Confident of1 a Welcome, If He Should Ever Leave Italy. Eome, March 20. At the banquet yes terday Cardinal Parocchl, the Pope's vicar, said that if in the future it shonld become necessary for the Pope to leave Europe, he would find sure refuge among the American Bishops, who would receive him with hon orable hospitality.

SHE POISONS HER THREE BABES, Two of Them Dying and the Third a Ter rible Sufferer for Awhile. THE MOTHER ON TRIAL POE HER .LIFE Tells Her Pitiful Story, and Declares Ess Was Insane at the Time. A most pitiful tale is that told by Mrs. Wilhelmina Lebkuechner, who, when crazed by despair, caused by sickness and destitution, bought poison and gave it to her three children, two of whom died. A number of doctors testify to the fact that the poor woman was unaccountable for her awful act when it was committed. tSPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TUX DISPATCH. Sew Yoke, March 20. Wilhelmina Lebkuechner, who poisoned her three chil dren and killed two of them, who is on trial for her life in the General Sessions, has a plain, hard-featurid face, disfigured by a rash, and looks weary, poverty-stricken and common-place. She told her story to the court to-day with surprising power and ex cellent choice of words. Apologizing first for speaking only ''German English," she said: "I was born on May 26, 1852, in "Worms. On October 26, 1871, 1 was married. On November., 1877, 1 was again married to Mr. Lebkuechner, my second husband, and went to live with him at 321 Ninth avenue. He was a saloon keeper. One of my chil dren was born on December 13, 1878, and another on March 4.-1881. My husband Frank and I had to attend to all the busi ness. When one of my children was 13 he fell and hurt himself." "Leave out these details and come down to later events," Judge Gildersleeve inter rupted. THE BEGINNING OP THE IBOTJBLES. "Judge," she said, "all my troubles be gan with the sickness of that child. An operation was performed, and when I had paid the doctors I could not pay the rent. My husband well, I won't say anything about him he was my husband. After that I just let things go. We owed for ex cise and rent, and the Sheriff put us out on the street. My husband and I separated, but made up and lived together until March, 1883. Then one of the children was sick nearly tvo months, and I had more trouble with my husband. Judge Gildersleeve Don't delay us with details. The Prisoner I want to tell how inde pendent he was. He tried to drive me awav from him. Then I went to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and gave the children up and got out a warrant against my husband for desertion. Then I was sent to the Chari ty Hospital on Blackwell's Island. After I came out of the hospital I went to a lodging house at 115 Chathamfetreet, and did heavy washing. Shortlyafter I went to Guttenberg. My husband came after me and wanted me to go home. "Give me a home and I will go home," I said to him. I went and STAKVED TWO OB THBEEDATS, and had to go to work again. My son Charley was then on Randall's Island, Tony was with Mr. Gerry's society, and the baby was with me. In July, 1884, I got work, after starving a long Judge Gildersleeve We can't stop to hear all these details. The Prisoner Well, my husband died and I wanted to get my children back. You know you never get your'iehildren back after the society gets them. They are sent out West I heard they were coin? to send Tony out West. I told the detective of the society, in 1888, that I was dead sick, and that I would get crazy if they should send him away. Two weeks before the blizzard I got Tony back. There was a poor family in the same house where I lived, and I got Mrs. Vermilye, of Greenwich street, where I worked, to give them a stove, and I injured my back carrying the stove to the family. I had a sewing machine, on which I owed ?8. I had only 26 working days in a mouth, and I couldn't get along. I had to get some one to take charge of the little boy Christopher, in Forty-second street, and that costs money. On davs when it stormed I couldn't workbecause I went out to wash. THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR. . One night, between the blizzard and the children's death, I took the children to the Twenty-first street police station and asked for lodgings. The police sergeant told me to get out, because, he said, I had the smallpox. It was my face. Then I went down to the foot of EastTwenty-third street and sat on the pier, thinking whether I should jump into the water. The children played around and thought it was a picnic. Then I took them back to our rooms. I was crazy with pain and distracted with trouble, so that I didn't know what to do. I had no money, and the landlord had threatened to dispossess me for not paying rent. Mr. MacDona When did you first think of killing your children? " ' The prisoner One day I felt like dving. I remember on what day'l first made up my mind. On March 21 1 worked all day, and I couldn't eat supper. I gave supper to the children, and all the time I was crying. I was desperate. A MOST TOUCHING SCENE. I went and sat down on the side of the bed and cried: "My God! What will be come of me? What will become of the children if I die!" Little Christopher he was the one that got well came to me and said: "Don't cry, mamma, don't cry; the Savior will help "you." Then I thought, "He is right. The Savior is In heaven, and we would all be better off in heaven." My head ached so that I went into the yard and let the cold water from the hydrant run on it for a long time. After that I don't re member much. Mr. MacDona You don't remember that you sent for rat poison? The prisoner No, I remember nothing. I suppose I did all those things they.say I did. I said so myself to Police Sergeant Albertson, at the time, and I suppose I told the truth. I'm sure I was crazv then, but I'm happy now. I like to live. I am happy because Judge Martine says I am not insane now. Now I want to live be cause I am likely to get help. Then all was dark to me. Mr. MacDona You think it's wronc In murder? The prisoner Oh, yes. Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton, Dr. Emmet C. Dent, Dr. Frank H. Ingram, Dr. Matthew D. Field and Dr. A. Douglass tes tified that they believe Mrs. Lebkuechner was irresponsible when she killed her chil dren. The case will be given to the jury to-day. "THREE STRIKERS "WILL STICK Fall River Manufacturers Refuse to Conlcr With the Weavers. Fall ErvEB, March 20, Messrs. Wal cottand Da vol, of the State Board of Arbi tration, this afternoon met the Executive Committee of the Manufacturers' Board of Trade, and submitted to them the agree ment signed yesterday by the weavers Executive Committee, agreeing to return to work on -a basis of a 20 cent cut on print cloths, and 5 per cent on other goods, vending an investigation by the State Board into the justice of the weavers' de mands for a restoration of wages paid in 1884. The Board of Trade refused to listen to the proposition, and tbe settlement hoped for could not be effected. This removes the last hope of a compromise, and. the strike is now likely to be Indefinitely prolonged. The Cleveland Party Joined by tho Gov ernor of Virginia and Several Wealthy Friends-All to Sail for the Land of Flue Cigars To-day. rsriCtAt. TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATC1I. Eichmond, Va., March 20. What does it mean? Governor Lee surprised the pub lic this morning by leaving for a trip to Florida, as it was -first given out, but later information is that he will join ex-President Cleveland, and proceed with him to Cuba. Governor Lee was accompanied by Colonel Fred B. Scott, President of the Merchants' National Bank, Mr. Alexander Cameron, a wealthy tobacconist, Mr. John H. Montague, President of the Merchants' and Planters' Savings Bank, and at Peters burg the party was joined by Mr. Sam W. Venable, one of the -wealthiest tobacconists in Virginia. It is understood that the entire party will accompany ex President Cleveland during his Cuban trip, and that all the arrangements for the trip were consummated some time since. These gentlemen are men who have had long and important connection with Democratic party politics in Virginia, and knowing ones affirm that the jaunt has deep political significance, though they do not appear to be able to explain it. .. special irora j acKsnnviue lo-mjrui, says: The special train of five cars arrived with the Cleveland party at 750 o'clock this evening from Savannah, and about two hours was consumed here in the transfer to the St Augustine, road on the south shore oftheriver. Owingto the public not knowing the time of the arrival of the train, and the request of Mr. Cleveland, there was no for mal reception, and very few persons were at the depot to meet the party. Colonel J. E. Hart and Mr. F. W. Haw thorne, of the Times- Onion, met Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bayard, and conversed with them. Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Vilas, in the meantime, took a walk about the depot. After breakfasting in their car they were escorted to the ferryboat Mechanic, and crossed the river to the St. Augustine train, and at 9:15 departed for St. Augus tine, where they spent the rest of the day. They will start for Cuba to-morrow. RESPITED UNTIL f904. The Long Reprieve Secured by a Dels wurian Under a Death Sentence. ' Doveb, Del., March 20. William J. Calhoun, who was to have been hanged Friday next, was yesterday respited until 1904. He is a rather attractive person, of 23 years of age, but the capital crime for which he was convicted was most revolting. He was arrested only after a desperate strug gle and was ably defended at. the trial, but was convicted and sentenced to death. Shortly after he was sentenced a revulsion of feeling took place in his favor and strenu ous efforts were put forth to suve his life. A petition in his favor was signed by one of the judges, several members of the jury that convicted him'and hundreds of citizens of Wilmington. Delegation after delega tion visited the Governor, and, yielding to this pressure, the Governor yesterday re spited Calhoun 25 years. This change in public feeling was brought about by the fact that Calltoun had been on a continued de bauch and .medical experts who examined him alter the sentence testified that he was really at the time not of sound mind. Cal houn, when visited in his cell to-day, was almost insane with joy. He had giveu up all hopes of respite, and felt himself under the shadow of the gallows. The Governor's action is generally commended. THEY WERE NOT GUILTY. So the Jury Decided After Taking; Jast Three Ballots. rSrECIAL TXLXOBAV 0 TOE DISFATCH.1 Wheeling, March 20.

F., reading: "The steamer Wolf has arrived from the seal fishery with 27,000 seals. All eastern steamers "are loaded, aggregating 200,000 seals among them." This is an unusually early arrival, the fishery having opened'only on March 10.

The Prime minister Illsscd and a Duel Is In Prospect. Pesth, Uarch 20. When Herr von Tisza arrived at tbe Lower Ho rue of the Hungarian Diet this morning the large crowd that had gathered outside the build ing groaned and hissed at the Prime Min ister, shouting, "Get out!"

Mary Anderson Now Pronounced Entirely Out of Danger and ON THE" WAT TO SPEEDY RECOVERY Reports That Her Mind is Affected Proven Absolutely Groundless. SHE IS ABLE TO. TRANSACT BUSINESS, 'wcrs leasan Quite Pleasantly. Mary Anderson has passed the crisis of her illness and her physician now pro nounces her out ot danger. She still suf fers from nervous prostration, however.' The report that her mind was giving way is pronounced unfounded, and she herself laughs at it. Miss 'Anderson will probably go abroad this summer, though her plans for the future are as yet indefinite. rgrXCIAT. TELEOIUM TO THI DISPATCH. 1 Philadelphia, March 20. Miss Mary Anderson was somewhat better to-day. She is not by any means well as yet, however, though the has been given the cheering in telligence oy her physician, that it is alto gether reasonable to hope that she will be about again within ten,days or a fortnight. Even in that event,however,if is settled that she will not attempt to resume her profes sional dnties until next -autumn. Where she will go when she shall have grown well enough to travel has not been determined upon as yet, though it is altogether likely that she will go abroad in the summer. She talks of spending some time at Atlantic City. Despite her illness she has Vrithin a few days performed some business that required mature thought and involved a great deal of money. Except for the slight tax upon her physical condition she was none the worse for the effort She showed the pos session of her usnal acumen in handling the business, and discussed it in her clear- minded way with those who had to be con sulted. THE SANGEB PAST. Her mother, Mrs. Griffin, who came here at the beginning ot her illness, found her so well that she has returned home. Her brother, Joseph Anderson, and his bride, who have been with hei, felt so much ease respecting her condition, that they were to have gone to New York yasterday, but changed their minds by reason of the rain and will leave to-day. Miss Anderson will remain, accompanied only by her maid, to receive medical treatment Her relatives were assured by her physician that there was no danger at all, and no requirement for their remaining here. The private fiat at the Stratford, which the party have had, will be retained, so that Miss Anderson may be undisturbed by noise. The flat is on the third floor, is ex tremely bright and pleasaut, and Miss An derson is quite confident that her enforced sojourn there will not be without its own quiet pleasures. ' ' one has always tasien tbe freedom of the rooms. She rises about 9 and breakfasts at 10. She eats well of beefsteak, eggs and other substantial and good things. Rules respecting Lenten fasting that have occu pied a picturesque place in some of the stories concerning Miss Anderson do not apply to her at all first, because she is ill, and second, because when well, she works very hard. HOW SHE PUTS IN HEB TIME. 'Her'mcals are bronght.-up- to hef by her maid, so that there is very little need of'the hotel service. Shef chats brightly of things that are occurring, and reads a little. She has a couch in her boudoir upon which she reclines when fatigued. 'She has been suffering quite severely at times with head ache, which usually accompanies severe nervous prostration. She has suffered a good deal, too, with a rheumatic pain, and is receiving treatment by massage, but her mind, it is said, has always been absolutely out of peril She has read the newspapers a little but not much. She learned, however, of some of the rumors concerning her mind, and she was cheerful enough to smile as if they amused her. Yet it was only natural that under her apparent amusement there should be a feeling not so pleasant She talks a I good deal of the attention that some of the papers have given to her personality, and was deeply offended by a St. Lonis'paper which she sawthat had one of its writers follow her to church early in the morning, and illustrated the article about her with a picture of herself and her maid at the altar. She would prefer to be considered now as WHOLLY IN KETIBEMENT, though there is no objection to the giving out of information concerning her progress toward recovery. Her friends, in Europe, as well as in this country, were naturally enough alarmed by some of the reports con cerning ner neaun, ana a rain of dispatches and cablegrams has been poured down npon her relatives. The sum of the answers to all of them is: "Miss Anderson's nervous system has broken down, but she is slowly recovering." There has been a good deal of shifting of the blame for the common inferences re specting the state of her phvical and mental condition. Her physician, though aware of the common reports, has a rule never to talk about the affairs of his pa tients, except upon their request. Miss An derson has not thought of speaking to him upon that subject, though It is not improba ble that for the sake of setting rumor at rest, she may do so in a day or two. She had a fairly cheerful day to-day, and it is observed, a$ an assuring sign, that the -periods oi depression that mark an illness of this kind seem to be gradually growing fewer and shorter.

' Sometimes Offensive Partisanship Is of an Inoffensive Character. SPECIAL TXLMBAII TO THI DISPATCH.l Washington, March 20, On the as sumption that the action of the Postoffice Department with reference to the postmaster of Pontiac, 111., was to be consid ered a precedent, a large num ber of applications were made to-day by member of Congress for the removal of of fensive partisans in other districts with a variety of results. For example, Bepre- sentative Wade, of Missouri, asked the removal of tbe postmaster at Kansas city (or the reason that he has been an of fensive partisan without cxtennattng cir cumstances. It was shown that the Democratio Post master who had been in office dur ing the most of the administra tion of President Cleveland was removed last December at the instance ot Senator Vest, and another Democrat was appointed, whose term will not expire until 1892. Mr. Wade appealed to the Postmaster General to remove him and appoint a Re publican in his place. The Postmaster General consented to do so, and said it would not be fair to the Re publicans of that district to let him remain. Another Congressman who appealed to the Postmaster General to remove an offensive' partisan came awav dlsannointed. When he cited the Pontiao case the Post-' master General told him that the cases were not parallel, that there conld be'no cast iron rules in deciding such matters, and each case must stand on its own merits. Beoresentative Thomas, of Wisconsin, asked for the removal of an offensive par tisan in his district and the ap pointment of a Republican to his place. He was told that he must file written charges to seenre the1 removal of the incumbent, and a petition from the patrons of the office to secure the appointment of his successor. PUNISHMENT FOR DRUNKENNESS. It was Much More Severe In Olden Times Than It Is Now. From the Newcastle (England) Chronicle. Drunkards, a metropolitan periodical has just been pointing out, are more mercifully dealt with in the present than in past days. In classic Greece, such offenders were sub jected to the severest penalties. In Athens Solon punished them with death; Lycurgus, in Sparta, destroyed the vineyards in his territory, and took every precaution to pre vent the transmission of a habit of inebriety from father to child. In Locris wine was permitted only to invalids; and at Mitylene, Pittacus,a doubled the punishment of any crime if it had been committed under the influence of wine. In Republican Rome the citizens, both men and women, were for bidden to partake of wine before they had attained the age of 30. In mediteval times the same seventy obtained; and Francis I., though himself no model King, published in 1536 an edict to the effect that everyone found drunk should be imprisoned with bread and water diet for the first offense, beaten with rods for the second, for the third publicly whipped, and, if he then proved incorrigible, punished by having an ear cut off, marked as infamous, and banished. It might be added that in much more recent times, topers had anything bnt pleas ant treatment in our own district About the middle of the seventeenth century, the common drnnkard was led through the streets of this town as a spectacle of con tempt, covered with a large barrel called the "Newcastle Cloak," one end of which being removed, served to envelop the body of the unlucky Bacchanal, while the other end, a circular aperture being formed, ad mitted the head of the offender, by which means the vessel rested unon his shoulders. Much as the suppression of drunkenness is to be wished, reconrse to the methods of the past seems scarcely calculated to promote that desirable consummation. A FRENZIED PARM HAND Attempts to Slake Way With Bis Employ cr's Entire Family. Newabk, Nl J., March 20. Ferdinand Mutter is a milk man living on Lyons avenue, Irvington.

An Office for Which There Are as Yet Only Two Applicants. rSFZCIAT. TELEGRAM TO THE PISFATCB. Washington, 3Iarch 20. One office about which little has been said, but to which a deal of interest will attach in the near future, is that of Superintendent of the Census. So far there are only two candi dates for the place, Mr. Joseph D. Weeks, of Pittsburg, and Mr. Eobert P. Porter, editor of the New York Press, but it is quite possible, judging from gossip that has come from the inner circles of politics, that one who is not an applicant for the position may be selected. Many influential admirers of the work of Commissioner Wrigh't, of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are urging his appointment on account of his wide range of experience and nnquestioned fairness.

GOOD NEWS TO EARMERS. A BUI Exempting- Yoang Cattle From Tax ation Likely to Pass. rntOM A STAFT COBSlSrOIDE-T.l Habbisbubg, March 20. The County Commissioners bill for equalization of taxa tion ran the gauntlet of the stormy session of the House this afternoon, ably cham pioned by Mr. Flickingej, of Erie, and Mr. Burdick, of McKean. The bill passed second reading, in spite of the persistent ef forts of Captain Billingsley to have it post poned, and in spite of the assaults of Mr. Wherry and other able gentlemen. Mr. Stocking, of Washington, succeeded Jn having the bill amended to. exempt from taxation cattle, sheep and swine under two years old, and farmers and mechanics' tools of less value than $100. Other amendments were adopted, and many that were offered were voted down. Mr. Stocking pleaded for the exemption he secured on the ground that the agricultural interests are already overtaxed, and that real estate has greatly decreased in value. He opposed the bill, also, on the general principle that it is the settled policy of the State and nation to discriminate in taxation and not to tax everything as the bill proposes. The friends of the measure defended it on the ground that to tax everything wonld lessen the burdens of the present subjects of taxation. This, they thought, should be good news to the farmers, inasmuch as the real estate of the Commonwealth now bears 94 per dent of the burden of local taxation. The bill on one test mustered 109 votes, six more than enough to pass it finally, it all who voted for it were sincere. 350,000 Appropriated for the West Fenn. rrROM A STAFT CORRESPONDENT.!

The three gentlemen dined together and later had a long talk over the New York situation. Mr. Piatt did not go to the White House, but made his views known to Senator Hiscock. Mr. Piatt would say nothing in regard to his visit except that there was no significance in it He was simply in the city because he couldn't get out before 11 o'clock, and his call upon Senator Hiscock and Mr. Morton was simply a social one. Senator Hiscock corroborated the statement that there was no significance to Mr. Piatt's visit, and added that politics were not mentioned ex cept in a very general way. A BIG RAILROAD CASE.

The Insurance Commissioner to-day refused a license to the National, Accidant Society, of New York, a mutual accident assessment com pany. A similar request for license was re fused last year by the Insurance Commis- sioner, because of the unsatisfactory charac-' ter of its annual report, which was made to show that it was a reputable company. During the entire year, however, notwith standing this refusal of a license last year, the company continned, unknown to tho Commissioner, to do business amounting to over $2,000,000, which fact is shown by the report of the company to the Commissioner a a reason for granting the license this yenr. . The Insurance Commissioner refuses 'the license, first, because he is not satisfied of the company's standing,and second, because the company, by its own admission, has, la open violation of the law, during all of last year been doing business in tbe State.
