D. , Sept. 9. ( Spcclal.-Publlc ) Examiner Taylor , who has been tor some time at work on an Investigation ot the manner ot conducting the state Insurance department , while It was a part ot the auditor's office , has completed his work and filed a report ot his findings and recom mendations In the office of the governor. The report Is a lengthy one , but is largely made up ot detail figures , and the main points In bis findings and his recommenda tions are given : Ho first notes the fact of his examination of the books and records of the Insurance department , and bis finding that the several Insurance companies doing business In the state had paid , within the time covered by his examination from the 1st of January , 1S93 , to the 1st of July , 1897 an aggregate sum of $130,650.27 , with credits ot fees turned Into the state treasury from the In surance department amounting In the aggregate to $127.835.05 , leaving a balance unaccounted for of $2,754.62. This Is after giving them credit for everything ever turned Into the treasury from the department. Ot this amount the amount alleged to bo duo from J. 13. Hippie , Is $277 , nnd the amount due from H. 13. Mayluw Is $178. Aside from the receipts of the Insurance department the fees received liy the nudl- tor on behalf of the state appear to be small In amount , the entries coming to the examiner's notice not aggregating more than flO or $12 during the entire period cov ered by this report. Hut whatever they nro the officer l given the full benefit of nil such In the foregoing computation. He Is credited with all sums turned Into the treasury on account of fees of whatever Kinii , nnii is cnurg"1' ouiyvitn reccipis cotnlni ; under the Instiluiice department of his otlice. Such fees us have been received by the nudltor between January 1 , ISM , nnd July 1 , 1SD7 , other thnn those attaching to mid credited under the Insurance depart ment , should be added to the Rum found by this report to be duo from and retained by the incumbent for that time of the audi tor's office. TOO MUCH , HELP. The examiner may be pardoned for "going outride of the record so far ns to fny that the auditor , now tlmt the Insur ance department has been eliminated from his ofllce , seems not to have more duties than ought with reasonable ease to be per formed by himself and his elllclent deputy , and the appropriation permitting the em ployment of nn additional clerk and n sten ographer , which now Is ami doubtless will continue to be so used , as well ns the ap propriation of $1,200 per year for printing , Hipplles nnd Incidentals , is unnecessary and wasteful. During the early months' Of the present year the auditor required'n large number of the foreign Insurance companies doing busi ness in this state to flic or re-llle copies of their charters In his ofllce. For this n fee of $23 was demanded and linid. It would . .eem from the size of the fee _ that a good deal of Importance was attached to the proceeding , but Inquiry /discloses that the documents have been given no record. The examiner calls attention to the foci that In violation of the statute the audl'.or has been collecting taxed of insurance com panies , Instead of the treasurer , and recom mends that the present commlrsloner be directed to Inform the companies of the amount of their taxes , ind ( Ilrect them tc remit to the treasurer , and , further states that the present Insurance commissioner la hampered In his work by reason of the fact that the letter books and letter files and other documents were not turned over to the new commissioner by the laudltor , ANDERSON MAKES'NO1 RETURN , , In regard to the examinations made by C. II. Anderson , ho shows from statement ! made by the companies that there was pale to Anderson for that purpose a total of $5,696.62 , and that no part of the money thus received was paid into the state treas ury and no record of the receipt ot nnj portion of It is found In the auditor's office or upon the books of the insurance depart ment. He then shows copies of a number of bills rendered to the different companies for his work as examiner and declares that the examinations , conducted as they arc known to have been , are Indefensible ani without warrant of law. In closing this report the public examiner desires to make the 'following recommenda tions : 1. That demand bo made upon J. E. Hippie , former state nudltor , for the sum found by this report to be due from him to the state , and upon failure to cover the same into th < < treasury , then suit be brought upon his official bond for tlie recovery of the same. 2. That similar demand be made upon H. R. Mavhew , auditor , for the amount duo from him , that such demand be in like manner enforced. 3. That demand be made upon J. E. Hippie , former auditor , and upon II. E. Mayhcw , auditor , that all sums lawfully collected from Insurance companies under their respective administrations liy C. H. Anderson , on account of per diem , be covered Into the state treasury , nnd tlmt all sums Improperly collected on account of expanses and per diem be returned to the said companies" , nnd In case of failure so to do that suits be Instituted on their respective official bonds on behalf of the state nnd for the use of said insurance companies to enforce this demand. 4. That the present commissioner of In surance be instructed to Inform all in- mirance companies doing business in this state of the requirement of the statute for the payment of insurance taxes direct to the state treasurer nnd Insist upon com pliance therewith. 5. That the state nudltor be requested to turn over1 toi the commissioner of insurance all letter-books , letter-flips , and otheB docu ments pertaining to the Insurance depart ment.

InvenllKntlon Into UK Ailnlilnlilllly for Sninll Coin * . A new use which will probably bring alu minum Into greater promlnen than It has yet achieved Is the making ot coins. In vestigations have been made by the govern ment Into the subject of the advisability of the use of some aluminum alloy for the minor coins such as the t cent piece nnd the nickel. The greatest success Is reported of the experiments made nnd It Is believed that moro decisive action will presently bo taken In regard to adopting aluminum for sub sidiary coins. It was at first thought that the metal would not withstand the wear and tear of the rough usage to which It would be submitted as circulating coin , but It would seem that since the lightness of aluminum results In less friction by about three and one-half times the wear In n number of aluminum coins Is much less than that of copper coins. The alloys which have been found most effective for this purpose arc said to bo practically as hard ns copper. An other promising employment of aluminum Is for caskets. The advantage of the lightness of an aluminum casket will be readily un derstood by any ono whoso snd duty It may have been to have , to carry the metallic casket , as It is now made , for any distance In a cemetery. In addition to lightness ot con struction , caskets of this metal nro lasting and noncorroslve and can be hermetically sealed. Another growing use of aluminum Is for lithographic plates. In the present lithographing on flat-bed presses from stone plates GOO Impressions a day Is the maxi mum number that can bo obtained. lly the use of aluminum plates the number of Im pressions possible In a day's work Is about 25.000. Aluminum Is to n great extent re placing zinc and copper In the making ot glazed paper , celluloid , etc. There Is also a wide field for the metal In the cooMng and novelty trade. Its use In the manu facture nf steel Is becoming Important , In the proportion of about four ounces to the ton It serves the purpose of absorbing the occluded gases when the metal Is poured Into the mold , and thus allows an Ingot to be cast solid and free from blow-holes. Such articles as baggage checks and checks and blanks ot all kinds for key tags and similar articles are now made extensively of alumi num , owing to the fact that they are not only lighter but cheaper than nickel-plated brass. For the making of musical Instru ments aluminum Is becoming very popular. The mandolin , the guitar and the bnnjo arc , all constructed of It occasionally , and It Is ' said that the metal has been employed with no slight success In the manufacture of vie lins. ' Faithful HOKon ( innril. Ludwlg Leln of Bridgeport , Conn. , Is sub ject to fits which are liable to como upon him at any tlmo. On a recent evening , relates the Hartford Times , he was unfortunate - fortunate enough to suffer from ono while enjoying a quiet walk. He was accompanied by a big Newfoundland dog , a handsome animal , and one which has been a favorite of the Leln family for jears. When his master fell to the ground the dog went to him and began to lick his face In a vain endeavor to restore some evidence of anima tion. The pitiful attempts of the dog aroused the sympathy of the bystanders who had noticed him fall , and they attempted to assist the sufferer. Here an obstacle was mot In the shape of the dog. He was faithful to the trust re posed In him by the members of Mr. Loin's family and would not allow any one to come near his master. Several tried and suc ceeded In getting within a short distance ot the man , but hero the dog Interposed. He growled , crouched , and showed every In clination to Interfere with the first one who dared to lay a hand on Mr. Leln. The New foundland dog kept up a constant barking nnd several times made a dash for the crowd when It came too near. He would not leave the spot , neither would ho permit his master to be helped. After a little while the attempt wns given up and a call sent In for the ambulance. Before It could respond Mr. Leln had so far recovered that he was able to make his way home. A MiiKnrtlt * iNlnnil. A most phenomenal Island Is that of Born- hohn , in the Baltic , belonging to the king dom of Denmark. It Is famous for itf Ecological peculiarities , consisting as It docs almost entirely of magnetite , and Its mag netic Influence Is not only very well known to the navigators of these waters , but also much feared by them , on account of Its In fluence on the magnetic needles , which makes the steering of a ship correctly a matter ot much difficulty. In fact , this Influence Is felt even at a distance of miles , and so palpably that , on the Island being sighted by mariners on the Baltic , they at once discontinue steer ing their course by the needle , and turn , in stead , to the well known lighthouses and other holds to direct their craft. Between Bornhohn and the mainland there Is also a bank of rock , under water , which is very dangerous to navigation , and because of it being constantly submerged , vessels having been frequently wrecked at that point. The peculiar fact In this case is that the magnetic influence of this ore bank Is so powerful that a magnetic needle suspended freely in a boat over the bank will point down , nnd , If not disturbed , will remain In a perfectly per pendicular line.

Among tie lie/legates has grown a feel ing that even wcro the strike * fettled , Ohio and IVnnsylvanla would be the bciiullclnilps.

These men are. substantially In favor of a continuance of the strike. The delegates from Illinois ami Indi ana , o far as can be Icuvned. ns the session Is being held with closed doors , arc acting In harmony. Certain Ohio delegates are standing by Wrst Virginia , as a settlement without ad vantage to that Kcctlon , from the miners' point , of view , would be tantamount to the miners' union losing the ground It has gained there. Some Indiana mid Illinois delegates feel that they have been made the catspaw of the movement. They say tlicy have time and again struck at the request or other districts , and when such districts gained what they wanted the contest would bo declared off , leaving Indiana and Illinois without substantial benefit. The Masslllon delegation Is numbered among these who object to a settlement ns proposed. They say the lowest wages they have been paid was i > 4 cents per ton and a settlement at the proposed 1'ittsburg rate ot 03 cents would only Inercnse the Masslllon rate a cents per ton. They want a differen tial of 5 cents between the Masslllon nnd IIocklng Valley fields. President Carson ot Illinois says they will slay ont whether the strlko Is settled or not. Pittsburg made a light today for addi tional delegates and It Is understood the proposition was granted. A Pittsburg dele gate says a settlement will be reached. Tha miners' convention remained in ox- ccutlvo , session until Lite this afternoon. adjourning until tomorrow morning without having taken a vote on the proposed Hcttle- mctit. President Ilatchford said ton'pht ' : "You may predict with every degree of certainty that a settlement will bo rexched. and that the action of the national board in recom mending a settlement will be Indorsed. The delegates are beginning to sec the best thing they tan do Is to accept the proposition of the operators and return to work at the price offered. " HVICTIXB 'lTu STi7lKIXO MlKItS. .

Tin- work ot evicting the striking miners at Plain Creek and Clarksvlllc was begun today and as n re sult of two evictions s-erlnus trouble Is thrc.il cncd by a mob of women who are armed with clubs and base hall bats and are waiting for the arrival of Superintendent Do AiinKt and the deputy sheriffs. At 8 o'clock this mornIng - Ing sixteen deputies evicted James McCabe and hU family from ono of the company houses at Plum Crock. Little resistance was offered at the time , but as soon as tlie house had been emptied nnd the furniture piled up In the middle of the street , the women gath ered in front of the house of the evicted fain lly. After the deputies had gone the miners forced an entrance to the house again and car ried the furniture back. Desperate resistance will bo offered In casn a second attempt is made to evict the family. Three hours later the sixteen deputies arrived at Clarksvllle and evicted John Puke nnd his family. They are Polish people , but have many friends at Clarksvllle. The same tactics were re sorted to tho.ro after the deputies had com pleted their work. The furniture wns carried into the house again and Puke , his family and several friends have Installed themselves there prepared to make trouble for the deputies If they again attempt to evict them. The deputies have sent for Superintendent Do Armltt and ho Is expected here at any moment. The news of his coming spread like wildfire and the women of Clarksvlllc have gathered outsldu at Puko's home. They are all armed in ono way or another and arc sufficiently aroused to attack the deputies as soon as they return. Con H | derailI'li.v.slrln n.
