Is large of frame, largo of voice, em
phatic in utterance, said in part:
"The houso of lords, Mr. Gladstone
Bays, must he ended or mende 1, The
liquor traffic, this convention says
must be ended because it cannot
be mended. My conviction is that this
will be the keynote of the twentieth
century. The work of Neal Dow has
led to this. He has fought a good
fifbt, and even at 00 years of agi , he
has not run his course. The truth
that Maine has been transformed and
transfigured through the work of Neal
Dow travi lu slowly, but the lie that
tin- Maine liquor law is a failure trav
els with seven leagu. boots."
'1 he Rev. Dr. B. D, Tyler, of New
York, read the formal address to (ion
ra Neal Dow. It was signed by the
heads of Prohibition and temperance
movements of thtscouutry and Canada.
NEAL IjOW's ADDRESS,
General Dow said: "1 don't feel that
I have accomplished anything that en
titles me to the honor which is done
Die to-day. No words can express the
gratitude T feel for what has been said
and done here. But perhaps it was
best that I should tell of somo of the
work that has been done and th im
porlance of the work yet to be done,
There is no question beforo the
people of this country nr of
any country so great as the liquor
qnestiou, yet strange as it may seem
there are many prominent men, many
men of enlightenment, education and
understanding who know nothing
about the work of Prohibition. I was
once handed a slip from a newspaper
which announced that Goldwiu Smith
hail paid tiiat prohibition was a failure
in Maine. My reply to that was that
I hoped Goldwin Smith did not make
such a statement, tor the reason that it
is not true
So far from being a failure in Maine,
protiibitiou has b- en a great success.
At one time we had a great many
breweries and distilleries in Maine.
To ere is not one now, and there has not
been one in many years. At one
time cargoes of Jamaica rum were
imported into the state. There is
none now. It is true that liquor,
in small quantities, is smuggled
over the boundary. But liqutir is not
openly sold, and there is not one hun
dredth part of the consumption In the
state as before the law passed. A rem
edy for consumption thut will cure
ninety nine cases iu a hundred cannot,
be called a failure. Applause. An
entire generation has grown up among
three-quarters of our poople, aud has
not seen a grog shop nor a drunken
man."
Speaking of other states, he said that
great progress had beon made and there
ure many places where no liquor is sold
owing to local option laws. Contlnu
ln.IT, ho said: "'The liquor truffle has
existed for fifty years by permission of
Curistiuu churches. Their members
are masters of the situation. When
they say 'Go and vote.' the saloon will
go." Applause.
At ihe evening session General
Thomas D. James, of New York, pre
sided. There were addresses by Alex
ander RuiBeil Webb, of the Moham
medan church, andJFather Murphy, of
the Roman Catholic Church of Canada.

LIFE INSURANCE REPORT.
Annual Statement from the Depart

Insurance.
Harrisduro, Jnne 3 Insurance
Commissioner Lnpi-r has completed the
twenty-first annual report of his de
partment on life and uccident insur
ance companies. During the year tho
companies of this state Usaed 4,253
policies insuring $11,1)30,834 upon
lives of residents of this state,
a docrease over the business of the pro
ceding year of 237 policies and a de
crease of $1,129,430 of insurance. Com
paniea of other states issnpd 488.890
policies In this, insuring $137,003,084,
making an aggregate by all coilipuoiei
of 492.742 policies, insuring $149,539,
918. The total losses paid in nils te
bv like companies during the year was
$7,754,007 90.
The entire income of the assessment
life companies of this state last year
was $1,434,584 33, and expenditures
were $1,217,042.07. The insurance
commissioner comments upon the prac
tics of some life companies issuing
misleading statements regarding their
financial strength. Ho thinks the
standard of valuation of securities
should be their interest earnings, and
of real estate its rental value. He says
the act of Juno 5, 1888, regulating mu
tual assessment companies is defective.
In his opinion compiniesof this char
acter ougut to be required to have on
hand at all times, in available assets,
at least the maximum amount named
in its certificates, and failing in this,
it ought to bo niijudged insolvent and
prohibited frtm doing business.

Denver, Col. , June 8.
OETECTIVES assisted Shorill Bow
ers today in a search for John
Calderwood, president of the
Victor Minors' union, who came
up from Colorado Springs with Gover
nor Waite at an eariy hnnr this morn
ing. When the party arrived, Calder
wood was taken into a carriage with
the governor aud conveyed to a seclud
ed plane, which no one but the gover
nor's party knows. Sheriff Bowers ar
rived at daylight with a warrant tor
Calderwood's arrest upon the charge of
Inciting to riot. He had not been ar
rested at Colorado Springs beoause
then he was the governor's guest.
Detectives shadowed Governor Waite
all day in tho hope that they might,
find their man, but at night Sheriff
Dowers had to return without the head
official of the miners, now in a bellig
rant attitude. About the governor's
office the Populists there declared that
the arrest of Calderwood would only
add fuel to the hatred of the miners
and would make the contest all the
more bloodthirsty. Cniderwood came
under a flag of truce, thoy declare, and
should not be subjected to arrest. But
the civil authorities look upon the man
not as a belligerent but as an accom
plice In a conspiracy that has already
resulted in highway robbery, arson, de
struction of property and in murder.
Governor Waite said today that ho
hail taken no official action and it is
not believed that he will declare mar
tial law, a point which is declared to
bo illegal. Strong pressure has steadily
been brought to boar upon him to get
him to agree to back up Sheriff Bowers
with the militia, a move he is loath to
make.
When Governor Waite reached
Palmer Lake he sent the following tel
egram to Adjutant General Tarsney,
thinking thut Sheriff Bowers had made
the requstfor troops;

trains through tho city.arrived here this
morning. The train was side-tracked
oue mile east of the city and the 450
citizou Boldiers disembarked aud
marched down the railroad
track where all the trouble has
been, but on entoring the city
fouud no army of riotous strikers to
oppose their march or give them any
work to do. Scattered on and off the
track, however, were counted twenty
six strikers to whom Sheriff Letnibg
read tho restraining order issued ut
Washington last Tnnrsday by Judge
Ileffor's. Friends of the strikers in
Imiianapolis hail forewarned them of
the approach of the militia, whieh ac
counted for the disuppsarance of the
200 or 300 former rioters.
The sheriff s?t out to find four men
who had been leaders in the disturb
ance nnd for whom he had warrants.
After much difficulty he caught W. R.
Summers, a justice of the pence for the
local township, and Dick Gade, who
have been loading the strikers iu their
lawless interference with the proporty
of th3 railroads, and John Flynn, a
striker. The warrants charge them
with riotons conspiracy and contempt
of Judge Heffer's mandate. .
Immediately after the arrival of the
troops the officials of tho Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern railroad began
to move the coal cars which had been
side-tracked by the strikers. The
presence f the armed force awed the
strikers, nenrly all of whom remained
in their homes, but the women and
children belongiug to the strikers

President MeBride is seeking to make
the rioting an excuse for calling the

Leavenworth, Kin, Jnne 8 The
coal minere' situation that appeared so
serious on Friday night seems to be
perfectly settled. Yesterday through
tne efforts of citizsns, the mine ownors
and a strikers' committee held a pro
tracted conference, during which they
came to an agreement. The mine
ownors agreed to allow a check-weigh-man
to be paid by tho men, placed at
eaeh shaft, and to pay the present high
wagos if tbe price of mining was not
lowered at other places. The men
agreed to return to work at tho River
side and Home mines, which are now
closed, and stsrt in full Mondhy.

Several of the Populist senators, and

this view. Their forces, added to the

LOUISIANA THE BALANCE OF POWER
Tne suggestion is made that the vole
on this amendment may bo so close
that the onus of defeating it will tie
thrown on the two Louisiana senators
whose state is tho chief benuliuiary ot
tho bounty.
Tho tactics pursued by the Rjpu'uli
cans last wook were successful iu
drawing ont a numbor of Democratic
senators, and, it is understood, the
sime policy will be continued this
week with the hope that Democrats
will be compelled to participate in the
debate.
If Mr. Mnnderson's amendment for
a bountv should be voted down in

likely that the sugur sohedule oi the
committee will bo adopted pro forma

democracy's dates.
Juno 15, at which dato Democrats
have said the bill would paBB, is not
very distant, but there seams little
chunco of a iiual vote by that time. It
can be BaiJ wiiu absolute certainty
that the sugar schedule will not be
dropped until tne Rjpublicans have an
opportunity to discuss tho 'testimony
taken by the investigating committee.
There is another matter that will
tend to prolong this debate about which
nothing bus hitherto been said, but
which will probably come to the front
very soon. An amendment to tho bill
has been prepared and will bs intro
duced, probably this week, which pro
vides for tho repeal of the 10 per 0"nt.
state bank tax. It ia argued that such
nn amendment would be unite us per
tinent to a tariff bill as tho iucome tnx

The sub eommittee of the finance

in a number of additional amendments.
Among these is one putting n specific
duty on iuiported litbographio works
