The news created a sensation in

vere reverse that has occurred for a

unprepared for news of just this char
acter from Samar in which the rev
olution started Uy Aguinaldo still
continues Samar is a country about

American forces of occupation num
ber in all between 2000 and 2500
men These are distributed among
various posts in the island a large
number being located at the more im
portant centers Spain never made
any efforts to occupy Samar and it
only has been for probably three

has undertaken that work The lat
est report made by General Hughes

number of insurgent rifles in the is

and operations against them were dif
ficult The disaster to Company C

STA5 MKINLEY GUARD
Ghonls or Grave Dynamiter Reported to
Have Made an Attack
CANTON O Sept 30 A strange
story comes tonight from West Lawn
cemetery where a company of regu
lars from Fort Wayne Mich is
guarding the vault in which the body
of President McKinley lies
It is to the effect that the guard
on duty on top of the vault fired a
shot at one man who refused to heed
his ctiallenege and that the shot was
diverted by another man who appear
ed from another direction Also
that an effort was made to stab the
guard
Military regulations prevent either
the officers or the men of the past
from being quoted -on any matter con
nected with their service and for
this reason Captain Biddle who is in
command was obliged to decline to
be quoted at the camp tonight He
will make a full report to his super
iors at once
Reliable authorities made the fol
lowing statement Private Deprend
was on guard duty on top of the vault
at a point commanding the entrance
below and the approach from the
rear Shortly before 730 he saw
what he took to be the face of a man
peering from behind a tree about
forty feet from his post He watch
ed it for twenty minutes he says
and at 745 saw the man hurry to a
tree ten feet nearer He challenged
the man to halt but this was not
heeded and the fellow approached
nearer Deprend levelled his gun
and aimed to shoot for effect but just
at that instant another mrn who
came toward him from the opposite
side caught the gun threw it up and
the bullet was spent in the air

Insurance Men Unci Anticipated
tho
Federal Court
OMAHA Neb Sept 30 The de
cision of Judge McPherson of the
United States court in the case of
the Mutual Insurance company and
others against the attorney general of
the State of Nebraska and others in
volving the right of the insurance
companies operating in the state to
combine for mutual protection will
have little effect upon the practical
work of the insurance companies for
the law which was declared uncon
stitutional was never enforced and its
terms were evaded by the companies
interested
When the law was first enacted the
companies united to make a test case
of the matter in the United States
court A temporary injunction was
issued by Judge Munger restraining
the state officers from enforcing the
provisions of the law and this injunc
tion has operated from that time un
til the final decision rendered yes
terday
The companies had made provisions
to avoid penalty in case they should
lose the suit and at the same time
maintain practically the same sys
tem which the legislature of the state
had sought to destroy A G Beeson
at the time tho law was passed was
state inspector of insurance for the
companies doing business in the state
By the terms of the agreement be
tween the companies he made the
rates which were to be charged on
each class of risks or upon each risk
as desired For this work ne receiv
ed a stipulated salary which was paid
by all of the companies to the agree
