The matter was taken up in the state executive coun cil, of which he Is a member, and discussed with a view to seeing If something could not be done to prevent his examinations, and It was decided that the governor should refer the matter to the attorney general for his opinion. This has not yet been done. Mr. Merrlam makes complete denial of the charges which have been made by Insurance men. He denies that be ever charged a fee of $250 for two half days' work In making an examination. He says that all the examinations made were In pursuance of notices sent regularly long ago, and that the companies have made no objection to his examinations save possibly In two Instances. He denies that the In surance companies are leaving the state because of tilB examinations and exorbitant j charges or oppression. A few companies I have left the state, and the number will probably be four before the end of the year, but these have all left because of the standard policy prepared by the attorney general and promulgated by the state au ditor. The story that a large number of the companies had left the state Is en tirely false.

JUDGE SPEER SPEAKS OF NEGRO DANGER Fears Nothing; from Race Domination, but Wishes Iarnorant and Worth less Electors Disfranchised In All Parts of Land. BUFFALO, Dec. 19. Judge Emory Speer, speaking before the Independent club of Buffalo tonight, said In part: The history of reconstruction has left I an indelible Impression upon the minds of j the southern people. The words "negro i domination" can Invoke a hideous spectre which will not down. In the recent election the government l received the approbation of the people of ; every northern and western state; but the I solid south Is Immovable. Of the 125 repre sentatives from that homogenous Ameri can population only four are In apparent , sympathy with those measures of the gov ernment through which the people of the I United States have attained a plane of prosperity unexampled nnd the country Itself the status of a world power at once so equable and Irreslstable that the au i thorltatlve expression of the people's will j seems to have the force and effect of lnter- national law. While this Is true. It Is also l true that multitudes of southern men of j the most forceful character are In full accord with these policies. Our reflecting people know that If the economic policies of the administration were reversed a wave or nannruptcy would overwhelm our every Interest. Yet they vote with mechanical I reiteration agalnat every point. ran important um, The fear of an Impossible negro suprem acy Is the only obstacle. The remedy s-ems to be as obvious as Just. It Is to be found In the enartment of Impartial laws for white and black alike which will admit to the franchise the Intelligent, upright and responsible of both races and exclude the venal, the Ignorant and the worthless, and i such measures need not be confined to the I southern states. The polyglot vote of our great cities, because more effective, seems not infrequently not less dangerous to sane fcovernment than the massed votes of tho gnorant blacks. A danger to the welfare of the southern states Is the possible reduction of the exist ing number of representatives apportioned to millions of this population whose men of voting age are by state action denied the suffrage. This may any day startle the country as nothing has done since the re construction era. A majority of congress has the power If It Is so willed. No meas ure, however stringent, will be effective for good government or stable prosperity If it engenders the universal hostility of a resolute people. But It Is at least timely to stimulate prorouna political thought among the people which may avoid the necessity of a measure so drastic, KICK OF HORSE IS FATAL Hoofs Animal Strike Tour Man Over tho Heart and Ho ' Dies Instantly.
