DELEGATES 'REPRESENT MANY IAN0S
Secretary Cortelyoa Represent tho
President at the Opening; of th
Meeting; and Deliver an
Address.'
NEW YORK, Aug. Il.-The fourth .In
ternational congress of actuaries met In
this city today. The delegates include men
form several of the foreign countries.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor Cor-
telynti, who Is an honorary member, was
delegntcd by the president to open the
sesalon and deliver an address. , The session
will continue for the) week.
The address of Mr. Lepreux, president of
the permanent convention, waa followed by
the election of these officers: Permanent
president, O. L. Lepreux; secretary general
of the permanent cpmmlttee, A. .Begaul;
honorary, president, George B. Cortelyou;
president of the congress, Israel H. Plerson;
general secretary, John T. Atlock. There
were. chosen vice presidents for Belgium,
Canada, France, Germany, Norway and
Holland, .United States, Austria and Italy.
A letter from President Roosevelt ex
pressing regret at his loabillty to be pres
ent was read and after a brief address by
President Plerson and a discussion of
papers on "The Improvement of Longevity"
an adjournment was taken. ,
The afternoon session began with a dis
cussion of papers on the general subject of
war, mortality, the first by Frederick
.Schooling, honorary secretary , of the In
stitute, of Actuaries, London, on "War
Risks, with Special Reference to the War
In South Afrloa, 1SSS-1902;" the second by
Kotaro Schida, delegat of the Imperial
Japanese government, Toklo, on "The Risk
Rate- of the Late Chlno-Japanese War,"
and the third by Robert O. Hann, assistant
actuary of the Equitable Life Assurance
society, on "War Mortality in the United
States." The afternoon program also In
cluded a discussion of papers on mortality
in India and other tropical countries. In
Japan and. among other . non-Caucasian
races. '
The subject of the morning discussion,
"Improvement In Longevity," was again
taken up in the afternoon. Mr. Charlton
T. Lewis said that there were three general
reasons for the Improvement In longevity
the better care that children receive in the
present day, th vast Improvement in hand
ling epidemics, especially progressive In the
last few years, and the vast Improvement
In medical and surgical science. He said:
We find that the mortality in particular
diseases has decreased very greatly . in the
last forty years. These influences are nil
alike in this respect, that all represent, not
an increase In the vitality of the strong. lit
a diminution of mortality among the weak.
The number of weaklings today is, there
fore, greater, rtiid the result-4 a degrada
tion of the mass in th verage, v .
F. L. Hoffman of the Newark university
lectured on actuarial : subjects, saying n
Lrti ' ' . v i .
When w kre told by a secretary, of war
that the mortality In Cuba Is not more than
that In the city of New York It does not
require much actuarial knowledge to causa
on to smile and to know that it is non
sense. ,
He also declared the statement that th
death , rat of Jthe city of Havana is no
greater ..than that of Washington to be
untrue,, and. that for some time to "come
the death rate of Havana Will be from SO to
100 per cent greater than any northern city.
. The . papers on ' ;M6rta!!ty " Among non
Caueaslan Raeea" were taken' up for 'dis
cussion. James Ch'a thanl' delegate of thel
Fadult'of Actuaries,' Edinborghi opirtka
briefly 6n the 'general topic, and Mile M.
Dawson of Nw Yortt and George King of
London discussed Mr. Hunter' paper on
the subject.
A paper by Mr. Eggenberg on "Miners'
Experience" was the last topic or discus

WATER COMPANY'S ANSWER
B. M. FalrfleM Replies ta City Attar.
. ae-y Wright t'onrernlnsr the
Hydraat Rental Claim.
E. M. Fairfield, general manager of the
Omaha Water company, said yesterday
in reference to th hydrant rental ques
tion and the matter of th appraisal of
property.
"I would like to say a few words about
the Interview with City Attorney Wright
which, appeared In Th Bee of Saturday.
I think no one would suspect from the
tenor of Mr. Wright's remarks that he
was. a lawyer. He claims In effect, that
the failure of the legislature to provide
means for the city to pay It hydrant
rental .cancels the obligation. This sounds
like good populist doctrine, but I venture
a guess that It Is not good law. I think
no one will deny, that the water company
has furnished the service for which pay
ment is sought,, and that It Is a contract
debt owing by . the city. This would seem
to cover the whole question as to the Just
ness. of our claim, .
"As' to the appraisal matter, which Mr.
Wright .drags In by the heels, It not only
has no relation to the hydrant hill,' but If
Mr. Wright Is" correctly quoted h ha ut
tered some willful and malicious untruths
concerning It He Is certainly not in
formed that t;he water company "has had
the Inventory drawn up and ready In Its
office, for weeka.'., or for any other period.
It Is' certainly not. true that 'the tactics
of the company have been those of delay,'
and that It has 'hung back and Interposed
objections.' The best proof of this Is that
the company need not have entered Into
appraisal negotiations whatever until after
September 4. Mr. Wright talks as If the
Inventory of the water company's property
were a simp! a matter as taking account
of a small grocery stock. He either know
better or else know nothing at all of th
subject, and la therefore incompetent to
speak.". ,. . ..

Each detail la devoting thirty minute to
