BLAME DAMAGE TO QUAKE.
Six Big Insurance Companies Repud
iate San Francisco Losses.

est blow dealt the policy-holders ol
San Francisco has como in the form ol
an announcement from six of tho larg
est underwriting concern i, which prac
tically declare that they will pay no
losses incurred by the April fire. The
earthquake clause in tnu policies is put
forward and the statement made that
all the damage done by tho llames is
attributable to the shock.
In this combination of welchara are
two American companies and four Ilrit
lali companies. The concerns are:
Commercial Union Assurance, ltd., of
England; Commercial Union Firo In
surance company, of New York; Pala
tine Fire Insurance company, ltd., of
England; Alliance Assurance company,
Ltd., of England; Alliance AeaurnncH
company, ltd., of England; Norwich

this amount they pledge themselves to
pay
cane
"for actual loss suffered in every
In whih legal liability Is not
doubtful." Aa the comnuniea claim
that they cannot lis held for loeeea
caused "directly or indirectly by the
earthquake," this pretty phrasing,
when translated into plain English,
means absolute repudiation.

DISARMSJHE JEWS
Anti-Jewish Outbreak Might Help
Czar's Cause.
HELPLESS PREY TO MOB'S FURY
Leaders of Jewish Bund Arretted,
Beaten and Tortured to Ex
tort Confeaalons.
Odessa, July 20. The authorities
continue their tactics of ditarmlng all
who are auspected of having weapons.
House-to-house searches have resulted
In bringing to central headquarters
hundreds of modern rovolvers. Most of
these aro ot Ame'rican make and wero
taken from houses In tho Jewish
quarter.,
It is plain from tho attitude of the
authorities that their intention at
present la to dicarm all the Jews and to
placo them at tho mercy of the mob,
should tho government fool that anti
Jewish rioting would benefit its posi
tion. During last night and up-to noon
todoy many Jowa who aro known to
have boon prominent in the Jewish
Ilund movement havo boen'arrosted and
Imprisoned. It is reportod that in
many Instances theso men wore unmer
cifully beaten and tortured by tho au
thorities in an effort to compel them to
confess whoro arms and bombs known
to have been brought into the city wero
concealed.
GOVERNMENT HELPLESS.
At Mercy of Shipping Trust on Goods
for Philippines.
Washington, July 20. That a com
bination of foreign steamship lines has
the United States government at ita
mercy aa regards the transportation of
army and navy supplies and govern
ment ato-es from thia country to the
rnnippinoe la tne lateat charge entered
In the docket book. The army and
navj officer in charge of transportation
nattera are loath to discuss the subject,
dismissing it with the explanation that
under the rales of the departments they
are not permitted to talk about official
affairs for publication.
If statements emanating from outside
sources are worthy of credence, how
ever, thore will be work for the depart
ment of Justice in an entirely new
field, when it can tako the time awav
from investigations of big interior trust
abuses and the enforcement of the rev
enue law.
In shipping to our possessions in the
Far Etit, the government la compelled
to patronize Hteamship companies fly
ing foreign flags. The shipments aro
made mostly by llrltlsh lluus sailing
from New York by way of tho Suez
canal. The only other way would bo
to 'ship by rail across the American
continent and thonco by the Pacific ox-
press steamers, hut freight rates by
that route ivro prohibitive, oxcept for
food supplies and fornge bought on the
Pacific coast and shipped direct to Ma
nila. Thoro is no direct American lino
to tho Philippines by the eastern route.
ADULTERATION IN GERMANY.
Few Articles of Food That Have
Been Tampered With.
Not
Washington, July 28. Gorman food
adulteration is the subject of a report
received by the bureau of manufacttnes
from Consul General Urlttaln.'of Kehl.
Dr. Jackenark, of Berlin, states that
there wero in Germany in 1888 1,400
prosecutions for adulterating food
products; In 1808 the number had in
creased to 3,000; in;i001 to 3,585, and
In 1003 to 0,000. Thirty Berlin but
ter manufacturers were summoned he
fore the coarts for almost incredible
adit'teraUon of their wares. '
Wines, chocolate, cocoa, hrandlee
and medicines havo been discovered to
contain absolutely injurious and dan
gerous substances used for adultera
tion. In fact, according to n Strasshurg
paper, there, seems to havo been very
few articles ol manufactured food and
drink products which have not been
the subject of adulteration on the part
of the German manufacturer.
Violations of tight-Hour Law.
Washington, July 20. It is Hald at
the War department that there have
been hut two complaints during the last
three years of violation of the eight
hour law by government contractors.
The last of these occurred at Fort Win
gate, N. M., but the contractor ex
plained that there was a real emerg
ency for this, as it was necessary to
rush the work and ) have his material
in hand and wrought up beforo all
transportation facilities were absorbed
by the large movement of troops at
tending the maneuvers.
Big Firs in Leeds, England.
Leeds, England, July 26. Fire
broke oat in the heart otttiia city lat
laat nhibt, and waa still burning fierce
ly early this morning, Th damage
thus far is estimated at $500,000.
BALANCE FAVORS ISLANDS.
Philippine Exports Exceed Imports
First Time Since Annexation.
Washington, July 24. The two most
noteworthy features of the commercial
returns of the Phlllpplno islands for
1005 are a balance in favor of the is
lands for the first calendar year period
in tho history ot the American occupa
tion, and tho advance of American
goods to the first rank in tho import
trade. The favorable trade balance is
due to Increased export values, which
aggregated $33,454,744, or more than
$4,000,000 in excess of the exports for
1004. An increase of $500,000 in
American trade in 1005 with the is
lands, combined with a decline in rice
imports, gives to the United States the
lead, and in view of the anticipated
further declino in the demand for for
eign rice in the Islands, the United
States la , expected to continue to in
crease its lead.
Tho increase oi $2,000,000 in the
imports from tho United States In tho
last Ave yearn Is largely mado up of
imports ot iron and steel and their
manufactures; cotton, raw and manu
factured, and illuminating oil. Tho
iron and steel trade approximated $3,
000,000 in value. Great Britain gained
most in the Iron and steel trado with
the Island, hut tho United States takes
tho lead, whereas Great Britain waa
formorly in tho load. Thcro is still
great room for improvement in the ex
ports from tho United States to tho Is
lands. CANNED MEAT EXPORTS.
Japan
Uned Large Quantities During
War With Russia. '
Washington, July 24. Complete fig
urea ot tho exports of American canned
moats for tho past fiscal year are shown
today In a statement Issued by the de
partment ot Commerce and Labor. The
value ot canned meats exported from
the United States in June, 1006, waa
$401,100, against $707,127 In June,
1005, and in the fiscal year 1000. $9,
233,410, against $0,077,046 in 1005.
The figures 'for the flaaol year 1906
included: Canned beef, $0,430,440:
caanrd pork, $1,215,85,7; and other
canned meats, $1,687,107. The quan
tity of canned beet exported in the fis
cal year was 04,623,850 pounds, aa
against 00,088,608 pounds In 1006.
The redaction in exports occurred al
most exclusively in the shipment's to
Japan, which country took lanra
amounts of American beef during the
wai, but greatly decreased her imports
on the dlsbandment of the army. Thai
exports to Japan during the fiscal year
1000 were 2,300,683 pounds, against
14,087,105 pounds in 1005, and in the
month of Juno, 1000, were 34,412
pounds, against 3,012,188 pounds in
June, 1005.
The United Kingdom was the great
est buyer of canned beef, exports to
that country increasing 4,768,815
pounds for the fiscal yoar, hut decreas
ing for the month ot June, 1000.
