WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-tBieclal Tele
gramsThere Is merry war between mem
bers of th South Dakota delegation over
the appointment of a new postmaster at
Tyndnll. Bon HOnime county, 8. D. Rep
resentatives Burke and Martin have recom
mended Peter I'nrah to succeed Postmaster
Stlllwell, whose term expires In about two
weeks. Mr. I'nrah Is mayor of the city of
Tyndall, is of German parentage and en
dorsed by lending citizens. The reconimen
. diitlon of flurke and Martin is not pleasing
to Senator Gamble and the senator today
appeared at the Poatofflce department to
protest. He asserts that Mayor I'nrah Is
not a proper person to hold the postmaster
ship. He. waa accorded a hearing by the
postmaster .general and given a reasonable
lime to present In proper form such charges
a ho may desire to make against I'nrali.
Should hla charges, upon Investigation,
prove thnt Mayor I'nrah should not be ap
poinlod then Messrs. Martin and Burke will
name some other man. They claim the
right to this and other postofflces through
out the slate except iu the home towns of

against an order of the commission and
that there is no occasion to enact Into law
something that is already provided for by
existing statutes.
' The opposition forces, which call them
selves the conservative element, hold that
wllhiut the specific amendment demanded
by them the Interstate Commerce commis
sion will be all powerful. They take the
position that a common carrier should not
be compelled to go Into court to have a
wrongful rate righted or. In other words.
that a rate the common carrier believes to
lie unjust should he regulated without colo
rs Iling recourse to Injunction.
Members of the senate committee insist
that there Is no slgnlcance in the reushiny

and by the opposition. Both claim a ma
jority of the committee, but neither side
Is willing to be quoted as to the lineup.
On the general proposition of court pro
cedure. It appears that the administra
tion measures come nearest to meeting
the Ideas of the democratic members. If
this should prove true, the Hepburn bill
or the Dolllver-Clapp bill could be re
ported out of the committee by a majority
vote in fact, so It Is claimed, by a vote of
8 to 5. It Is claimed that three republicans
and four democrats are absolutely for the
administration measure, which insures n
majority on that proposition. The oppo
nents are not disposed to contest this
view and agree that unless wo democrats
should vote with them the Hepburn bill
or the Dolllver-Clapp bill will be reported
with a majority vote.

he could do nothing more than report to

CHICAGO.' Feb. i. tleiegates to the na
tional insurance convention embodied to
day the results of their two days of
deliberation In n set of comprehensive
resolutions which was subscribed to by the
convention as a whole.
Six states voted against the adoption of
the resolutions and twenty-three voted In
the affirmative The state of New York,
which was represented, did not vote, Its
delegates declaring that they did not care
to express an opinion on a matter recom
mending legislative action until after the
presentation of the report of the Armstrong
committee.
The future policy of the slates and terri
tories represented In the convention was
committed to a committee of fifteen mem
bers, the power being given to the com
mittee, however, to enlarge Its membership
as it deems proper. This committee is to
prepare a report which will be submitted
at a meeting which will be held at the
same time as the nxt meeting of the
national Insurance commissioners, which
wilt be some time In September In Wash
ington, D. C.
ExecntlTe Committee Appointed.
The membership of the committee as at
present composed Is as follows:
H. R. Prewett. Kentucky; R. E. Folk,
Kentucky; T.- E. Drake. District of Co
lumbia; W. D. Yandlvor, Missouri; E. M.

Governors Hcckham of Kentucky, John
son of Minnesota, Davidson of Wisconsin,
Klrod of South Dakota. Kcarles of North
Dakota and Cummins of Iowa, who were
present during the convention, were made
advisory members of the committee.
In the resolutions adopted the system
of life insurance commonly known as the
deferred dividend plan was condemned and
declared to be unjust in operation.
Aceoantlnst for Surplus.
An annual accounting of the surplus of
funds of Insurance companies was endorsed
and the convention declared for a plan for
the 'government of mutual Insurance com
panies, whereby each policyholder shall
havo a more direct voice In the manege
ment of the affairs of the company. The
matter of Investment of the funds belong
ing to the policyholders, and In the hands of
the Insurance companies, cannot. In the
opinion of the convention, bo reduced to a
uniform basis and must be governed with
reference to conditions. A standard form
of Insurance policy to the exclusion of all
other forms, to be adopted by state legis
latures, was declared advisable.
On the other matters referred to the com
mittee on resolutions, action was deferred
for further consideration.
After the adjournment of the convention
insurance Commissioner Drake of the Dis
trict of Columbia, at whose Instance the
convention waa called, said that everything
that could be desired had been accom
plished. "At best," ho said, "all that could
be hoped for at this convention was work
of a preliminary character, and that has
been done. At thfe adjourned meeting, I
feel confident, thefrJilts of our sowing will
be reaped. I consider the outcome very
satisfactory." r', ' , .
' Test of the Resolutions.
The resolutions follow;
First We believe that the svsteni com
monly known as the deferred dividend plan,
which Consists in deferring all dividends t)
the end of a period named and of forfeit
ing the share. of the surplus Justly belong
ing to those policyholders who either lapsed
or died before the end of the period. Is un
sound In principle, unjust In Its operation
nnd such legislation should be enacted as
will remove the evils of this system.
With respect to policies of that character
to be Issued thero should be required from
this time forward an annual statement and
provisional apportionment of surplus to
each policy holder and the aggregate so
apportioned to such policy holders should
be charged as a liability of the company.
With respect to all future policies there
should be an annual accounting of the sur
plus, an apportionment to begin at a proper
time after the issuance of the policy to
each policy holder of his share of the entire
surplus of the preceding year, repervlng a
reasonable margin of safety and an option
on the part of the policy holder to with
draw his share in money. Other options
relating to the- purchase of additional in
surance may be included.
Second With respect to the representa
tive form of government of mutual Insur
ance companies we have carefully reflected
upon all the plans tliat have been pro
posed. We. recognise the difficulty In ac
complishing the much desired result.. We
are Impressed with the necessity of a
change In the present methods and we sug
gest for consideration by the enmm'ttee
the adoption of some plan whereby there
will be in each mutual company a division
of jurisdiction, with the right of the policy
.holders of each jurisdiction to select a rep
resentative or representatives to attend the
annual meeting of policy holders, the de
tails of such plan to be devised so as to
bring as nearly -is possible to each policy
holder the convenience and practicability
of exercising his right to iv voice in the
management of his company.
Third With respect to publicity we be
lieve that the existing laws of many slates
are sufficient to authorize the departments
of Insurance to call for whatever Informa
tion Is desired. The remaining states should
confer upon their Insurance departments
like powers.
Fourth With respect to investments we
believe that while all Investments should
be conservative and exclude speculative
properties, it Is Imoracticable 'o attempt
uniformity among the states. Each state
must necessarily determine the question
with reference to Its own peculiar condi
tions. Fifth With respect to standard forms of
insurance contracts we believe that the
statutes of the several states should pre.
scril the forms of life insurance policies
and that no other forms Oian those so
prescribed should be nermttted. I'nlformlty
on this subject is the highest decree de
sirable ard an earnest effort should be
in-.ide to secure thnt 'result. In preparing
these fi ri. the extrpiue of care should be
exercised In order that tnev inav embrace
every lerlllniatc mitt 'net of Insurance and
do no ln.i"rv l -nv class of comnsnles.

Kobblna Make Explanation.
At the opening of thu conference this
morning F. 1.. Robblns of Pittsburg moved
that thu present scale be affirmed, with the
same prices and conditions, for the year
beginning April 1. Mr. Taylor, an Illinois
operator, moved an amendment, which was
the same proposition that had been pre
viously offered and rejected. Thu amend
ment, was lost, the operators and miners
voting solidly. F. I-. Robblns then took
the floor. He said he wanted to go on rec
ord, as it seemed the tuttire of the Inter
state movement was In peril.
Mr. bobbins reviewed the differences In
the condition of the miners now and when
tIi- Interstate and Joint conforencc move
ment, went Into effect. "You have advanced
wages and shorter hours," he said. "With
out argument and In the face of all fair
ness you yesterday, met and repudiated a
fair proposition. I want to 50 on record
as prottstlng against such mt-thous. Yes
terday, coal sold In Chicago at a dollar a
ton currying an 80 cent freight rate be
cause the railroads were demanding the
cars and yet you refuse to allow ono dis
trict to sign n agreement unless we pro
pose to deal with our miners even-handed
with the same representation 011 each side.
'We propose' to have miners of other
states with conditions entirely different
from ours to dictate as to the settlement
of oiir affairs In our district. Your propo
sition adopted yesterday Is absurd. A littlu
section up in Michigan could refuse a set
tlement and tie up ifie whole country. You
have 11 conference with the anthracite
operators coming. If I were an anthracite
operator I would refuse to deal with you."
Mitchell Talks.
President Mitchell took the Moor in reply.
Said he.: "It is kind of Mr. Robblns to
say that wc have presented no argument.
We refuse to allow the operators to have
the tlnal say as to wheluer we have pre
sented any argument or not. We have
shown that coal is selling at the mints at
from 35 cents to b cents a ton higher than
it was selling seven months ago. Wo
showed this by their own circulars. We
huve shown by their circulars thai the
conditions of their own trade Is highly
prosperous. The country Is In Ihe highest
degree of prosper'''- Slocks and bonds
are selling higher than ever before. And
yet, notwithstanding this situation we are
asked to continue a lower wage scale than
we had two years ago. And Mr. Robbins
will remember that two years ago, when
we accepted a lower wage scale on account
of an unfortunate situation existing at that
time he promised that the reduction would
1h- restored at the next conference."
Mr. Mitchell reiterated his arguments for
an Increase in wages and in closing said:
We have come to the parting of the
w'ays and It seems to tiw the only thing
left to do Is to go home 'and there try to
overcome the seemingly Insurmountable ob
stacles. We deeply regret the necessity for
such a step, but we led that the time has
come when you can give us an advance iu
wages githnut damaging your property In
terests to any considerable extent.'"
lotinK " 'he I'lau.
John Walker ot the Illinois miners, spoke
briefly, and W. U. Ryan moved ihe pievious
question, which was carried, ami the motion
of F. 1- Robblns. that the present wae
