Contributions to Campaign Fund.
George W. Perkins, member of tht
firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. and flrsl
ylce president of the New York Life
Insurance company, wos the principal
witness before the special legisla
tlve committee which Is probing
life insurance companies and his tes
tlmony wos replete with revelations
in the development of finance as ap
plied by Insurance companles.-
The climax of the day came when
Mr. Perkins was asked concerning an
entry of $48,702 In a ledger marked
"ordered paid by the president."
Mr. Randolph, the treasurer of the
New York Life company, who had
been on the stand earlier In the day,
had been sharply questioned as to the
purport of this entry, but he was un
able to explain It. He thought no one
but the president could. Mr. Perkins
had been called to testify as to some
other transactions and after the recosi
he was asked to produce the check. It
was made out payable to J. P. Morgan
& Co. and Mr. Perkins frankly stated
it was a contribution to the national
Republican campaign committee, and
had been pnld to Cornelius N. Bliss.
Mr. Perkins said:
"This payment was made aftei
very careful deliberation. It must not
be considered an ordinary contribu
tion to the campaign fund. It was
paid because we felt the assets of the
New York Life Insurance company
would be Jeopardized by a Democratic
success."
Mr. Perkins said contributions were
also made In 1900 and in 189C. As an
illustration, witness said the first con
tribution made was In 1896 by Presi
dent McCall, who Is a Democrat. "Ho
contributed to the McKlnley campaign
fund nnd voted for McKlnley because
he felt It was in the best Interests of
tho policy holders of his company."
Explosion and Fire In a Factory.
The explosion of a fuse, followed by
a ftre, in a building of the Climax
Fuse company at Avon, Conn.,
caused a panic among the 20 em
ployes In the building and resulted In
the death of 11 persons and Injur
ies that doubtless will prove fatal to
at least two others.
The town having no fire department,
there was no way of coping with the
flames which spread rapidly and ' In
less than an hour after the explosion
those who were unable to escape were
burned to ashes. A great crowd that
collected snw the bodies of mon nnd
women roasting in tho fire, nnd wcro
powerless to oven check tho flames.
The exact cause of tho accident may
never he known, but It Is believed that
In nn effort to burn out a stoppage In
one of the machines James Joyce
caused an explosion of a fuse with the
hot Iron he held In his hand.
Those who were In the room where
tho explosion occurred and who came
out of the place In a condition to tell
ubout it say tho explosion was not a
severe one and ordinarily would not
Lave caused u panic.
Inflammable material nearby, how
ever, was sot on Are and the room soon
was a mass of flames. In an instant
there was a mad rush fur the donrs
p.pd windows and during tho scramble
many were pushed back into tin build
ing, while others were severely
burned. i
Togo' Flagship Burned.
Fire started in the Mikasa, Admiral
Togo's flagship, while at anchor ill
tho harbor of Sasobo.
It spread wiljji great rapidity, cx
plod ing the after magazlno an nour
after the firo had been discovered.
The Mikasa sank In shallow water
and it Is believed the ship can l.e re
paired. Rescuing parties were sent
from the various warships In tho har
bor and there was heavy casualties
among them.
Tho Tokio correspondent of thu
London Dally Times says that tho
casualties resulting from the loss
of the battleship Mikasa are 5 killed,
251 missing and 343 wounded.
The correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph at Basebo, Japan.
In a dispatch ' describing the (lis
aster to the battleship Mikasa says
tp reason the fate' of so many cf the
crew Is unknown Is that a largo de
tachment was sent below to battle
with the Humes ' and that the men
were unable to reach the deck when
the vessel foundered. It Is believed
the actual damage to the ve.'sel le
comparatively slight, according to the
correspondent. '

TRADE WITH GERMANY.
Present Agreement to Be Ter
minated, Says Golrlberger.
Pleaded For a Reciprocity Treaty In
the Sense of President MoKlnley'l
Last Political Utterance Admitted
That the Majority of American Da
sired to Maintain High Tariff.
Berlin, Sept. 19. A farewell dinner,
under the auspices of the American
Association of Commerce and Trade in
Berlin, was given at the Hotel Kaiser
hot to Frank H. Mason, the retiring
American consul general here, who is
to succeed John K. Gowdy as consul
general at Parlay
Charlemagne Tower, the American
ambassador, presided. He proposed
the health of President Roosevelt nnd
then that of Emperor William and the
members of the Imperial family.
Director Von Koerner, head of the
department of foreign commerce, who
was delegated to represent the im
perial government, made the first ad
dress. He said that the relations be
tween Germany and the United States
were manifold and rested on a firm
basis. No two countries In the world
had made such progress In the p'asfVj
few decades as Germany and the Unit
ed States. The director closed by
wishing great prosperity to the United
States.
Privy Councillor Goldberger, who is
one of the close advisers of the Ger
man government In commercial mat
ters and the author of a hook on the
United States entitled the "Land ot
Unlimited Possibilities," Insisted that
the United States and Germany be
longed -together economically, each
supplementing the other.
He dismissed the Idea of any mili
tant customs policy, which he said
could only please the commercial ri
vals of both countries. He admitted
that the majority of the American peo
ple now desired to maintain the high
protective tariff and were opposed to
commercial treaties with unconditional
most-favored nation treatment tor
long periods.
Must End Existing Agreement.
Germany, on the other hand, as a
consequence of Its present commer
cial policy, must terminate its existing
agreement with the United States.
Otherwise It wwld be quitting the
paths of Its commercial policy as al
ready constitutionally determined on
and would be acting contrary to the
spirit, If not the text, of the treaties
already concluded with seven Euro
pean countries.
These, the speaker said, were econ
mlc facts which must be. understood
and which could be dealt with without
acrimony.
Herr Goldberger pleaded for a re
ciprocity treaty In the sense of Pres
ident McKInley's last political utter
ance, but said that so far as possible
equivalent advantages must be given.
He urged fair play In executing and ad
ministering whatever arrangements
might be made and added that he
hoped the forthcoming negotiations
for a treaty would bridge over all
economic differences between the two
great nations.
Ambassador Tower, after dwelling
at length on the personal aspects of
Consul General Mason's departure,
said: "Tho present time is most fa
vorable for the purpose of commercial
Intercourse because there Is a very
strong Interest felt In Germany In the
affairs of the United States. It Is a
growing and friendly Interest, con
stantly tending toward sympathy with
the United States and to a good under
standing. The relations of the twq
countries have never been as good as
now.
"Mr. Mason Is leaving us at a time
when his further assistance would be
most useful here. I regret especially
his departure at this time, for a dis
cussion is likely to take place within
the next few months Involving the
subject of the relations between tha
United Stntes and Germany In which
great Intornsts are concerned, so
grent Indeed that I feel no effort should
bo spared on either side of the ocean
to protect them from tho unfortunate
consequence of a disagreement be
tween tho two nations.
"For my own part, I have been most
careful to keep the government ot the
United States Informed regarding the
situation In Germany, my single hope
and desire being that an ultlmato
agreement will be reached which filial!
bo fair and just to each of tho
countries aud beneficial to the trade of
both."
Mr. Mnson said that the present har
mony In tho commercial relations of
Germany ond the United States wan
creditable and profitable to both
countries, and how to preserve, It was
a subject near to t fin hearts of all
present.
Complex and Serious Problem.
The speaker continued: "The pro
blem is a complex and serious cum
and let us frankly recognl.o its diffi
culties. Its solution will probably In
volve concessions on both sides which
may be difficult, especially on tho
part of our own government, to har
monize with existing laws and estab
lished economic principles; but wo
all hope that, with patience nnd good
will on both sides, a satisfactory ar
rangement may ultimately be reached.
"I cannot forbear to express my
fervent hope i hat the present flourish
ing reciprocal trade which we all
labored to build up may expand and
that the ebb and flow of scientific,
educational, esthetic and llterarj
thought between Germany and th
United States, the Instinctive touch 91
Intellectual brotherhood between tw
great and progressive nations, may nol
be broken by any dispute over tariff
schedules or the valuation of merchan
dlse. We hope it will not prove to b
necessary that the precious heritage o:
a century of peace and mutual res
pect shall be sacrificed to a disagree
ment over duties on Imports."
