sharp command of: "Forward,

noon. The roll call was responded
to with quotations from two great
American authors, Waldo Emerson
and Mark Twain, the two subjects
planned for the club's study.
Mrs. W. W. Jenne read the paper
on "Emerson And His Friends" and
the subject could not have been put
In better hands for the club members

the wine of wisdom, which flowed
from the decanter of Mrs. Jenne's
research and were cxhilerated.
"The Sketch of Mark Twain" by
Mrs. Jaquet was an equally good pa

in making the club see that no Amer

many different points as had Mark
Twain.

Kotouc Bill Passes House
Kotouc's insurrnnee bill, II. R. No.
273, which has aroused some opposi
tion among business and insurance
men, was passed by the house this
afternoon after a call of the house.
The final vote stood 52 to 40. The
bill requires that all insurance com
panies deposit with the state auditor
securities representing their guaran
tee funds. The companies which
hold real estate as representative of
their reserve funds are required to
create and give that into the con
trol of the auditor. Much of the
opposition to the bill on the floor
was because of the power of control
which it gives into the hands of
one state official.

ENGLAND NOT
DISTURBED
DID NOT CONSIDER SITUATION
IN MEXICO CRITICAL.
The Action Taken by Washington
Authorities Was Not Suggested
by Great Britain.
Loudon, March 9.—The mobilization
of an American army at the Meal can
frontier has excited great interest
among I/ondon politicians and in com
mereial circles, hut all are still in the
dark as to whether the movement is
tor political or purely military reasons.
The foreign office denies that the
British government suggested the ac
tion taken by Washington, but these
officials speak in such diplomatic
terms that their statements are not
necessarily convincing.
There ia little doubt expneased by
the public and the newspapers that
the political situation In Mexico caus
ed President Taft'e strong move, but
it ia questioned whether this govern
ment had any share in the matter.
Bo far as any extension of power of
the United States on the American
continent ia concerned, it is doubtful
that such an outcome would be pop
ular with the British public. The talk
of the future annexation of Canada
created a prejudice on thie side, and
this prejudice is just as strong against,
the political expansion of the United
States in any direction at the preseat
moment
Dealings in American securities In
dicated that the stock exchange did
not consider that the general security
of the country was seriously threaten
ed. Mexican bonds remained unchang
ed, ae did Southern Railway scares.
Mexican Railway securities, ordinary,
fell 2^4 points, tirst preferred 1%, and
second preferred 1?4. These always
have been of a speculative character.
Maaican National Railway shares,
which dropped several points recently,
tell off U
