WILL NOIPAY LOSS Williamsburg Insurance Company Mines Agents. A PRECEDENT IS SET AT LAST Will Tak. Advantage of Earthquake Clause in California Policies Others May Follow. fian Francisco, June 26. The limit in tha tin.. n I I i , - ...- vi niiuisuLD nypocrisy 111 reached today when the agents of the Williamsburg City lino ranee company received notice from their New Yoik office that the company did not intend 10 pay any of its losses on policies con laming the earthquake claut. The Williamsburg company writes policies of two forms. One contains reference to earthquakes, and it is this which the corporation will use as shield against payment of its obligations. The company Las written insurance In this city to the eitent of 1500,000. Of this annnnt one-half, or 1250,000, comes ondr the c arthquake'restriction. The home office has sent word in posi tive terms thst it done not intend to pay any part of this 250,000. This is regarded as the moat import ant step yet taken hy any of the insur ance companies. Fourteen other com paniee which have a total of 125,000, 000 in insurance in the burned area of the city have outstanding policies with earthquake clauses similar to that of the Williamsburg. It is stated that they have been awaiting a precedent before taking any denflite action. Now that the Williamsburg has acted posi tively in the matter, it is believed that the 14 other companies will also repu diate their obligations. The action of the Williamsbnrg com pany completes the insurance gamut, for there are companies which are pay ing all the way from nothing at all to dollar for dollar. AFTER STANDARD-OIL. LAND FRAUD TRIALS JULY 0. Judge Wolverton Makes Announce ment Hunt Wilt Preside. Portland, June 26.

Announcement of this fact was made last night hy Judge Wolverton, who will exchange benches at the time spec ified with Judge Hunt, of Montana, and the latter will preside during the pendency of the land frand cases. It has not been decided officially as to which case shall have precedence and until congress adjourns there is no way of compelling Binger Hermann to go to trial, as it is understood that he intends to stand npon his prerogative in that respect and decline to face crim inal proceedings while st'll a member of congress. Alter adjournment of the body his term will have expired, and nothing will then stand in the way of bringing the ex-commissioner of the general land office into court in re sponse to one of the numerous indict ments pending against him. MUST LABEL THE SAUSAGES. Prssidsnt Decides to Have Criminal Action Begun at Once. Washington, June 22 Plans to be gin immediate criminal prosecutions against officials of the feUn.tard Oil o upany for violations of the Sherman ntitruat law and proeeeatica a-iu.l rtandard Oil offiicals and high officials of tailroads for violation of the Elkina rebate law have been completed by the administrstinn, according to informa tion from a high authority tonight. These plans, it is understood, were considered st a mysterious meeting of five cabinet officers at the White House last night whieh aroused much specula. tion in all circles today. It is said to have been the intention to keep the matter secret for a few days until the departnxn'. of Justice was ready to strike the initial blow. Wall street, however, which seems to get information from every conceiv able source, even when the secret is supposed to be confined to the creel dent and bis confidential advisers, got a "tip" today that Standard Oil and the railroads were in for new trouble, and on the strength of this stock tnm bled. Reports from New York tonight ay that Washington had already heard of trie "leak" and that steps had been i nen to locate it. A person of high an' h rity declare that the department of Justice, as a re suit of investigations cond Jcted ri it to and since the Garfield report, has enough evidence on hand to secure ths conviction of hwh Standard Oil and railroad officials under both laws under which prosecutions are to I made. PREDICTS MUTINY OF SAILORS. Narodny Says Army and Navy Officers and Nobles are Rebels. New York, June 22. (van Narodny, a Russian who came here in the inter ests of the Revolutionists, said yester day: "There will be soon a great mutiny in the Baltic fleet at Cronstadt, with vastly more success than the already historic mutiny of the Black Sea fleet. The captains commanding are in . sym pathy with the revolutionary move ment and will declare at the appointed time for reforms. "The army officers drawn from the noble class are on sympsthetic terms with the men from the peasant and ar tisan classes. The common people and the nobles in Russia are not separated by the gulf that stood between these clssses under the ancient regime in Frsnce. The nobles throughout Rus sia, and the gentry, too, are the peas ants' closest friends, on the most cor dial and friendly footing. The nobles are the backbone of the revolution in Russia. The bureaucracy is drawn from neither class, and is bated by both classes. "It Is the system which causes riots like that at Blalystok. The rea son why the bureaucracy stirs up this resentment against the Jews is thst they are seen to be an element strong for revolution radicals." TEST CASE ON INSURANCE.

INJUSTICE TO WEST Congress Likely to Divert Money Meant tor Irrigation, USE IT TO DRAIN PRIVATE LANDS Bills Now Pending for North Dakota, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Other States. Washington, June 23. Early in ths present session of congress Senator Hansbroogb, of North Dakota, intro duced a bill authorising the expendi ture of 1 1,000,000 out of the national reclamation fund for draining swamps in bis state. When the bill went be fore the'eommitte. on irrigation it was found that every acre to be benefitted was in private ownership, and the bill, if enacted, would not open to entry -a single acre of public land. Notwith standing these disclosures, the senate committee ordered a favorable report out of courtesy because Hansbrougb is a member of the committee. It wta then stated that a majority of the com mittee believed the bill a bad one, and it was sttaed by several senators that it would never be permitted to pass the senate. Nevertheless the bill did pass and is now before the bouse, where its chances of passing seem equally good. A bill is now pending to divert II, 000 000 from the reclamation fund to drain the Dismal swamp in Virginia and North Carolina; another is pending to drain the Everglades of Florida; only a few days ago a bill was Intro duced to Uke anocher 13,000,000, and expend it in draining the big swamps of Arkansas and Missouri, and, in ad dition, there ire two bills pending for the draiuage of swamps in Minnesota, and three general bills providing for the government drainsge of swamps in all parts of the United States. If the Hsnsbrougli bill passes, it will open the way for these other measures of similar character, and it will be only a short time before the greater portion of the reclamation fund, instead of be ing used for irrigating the desert lands of the West, as originally intended, will be expended in reclaiming swamps In states that have contributed not a cent to the reclamation fund and never will contribute. This legislation is a rank Injustice to tb. West, which is counting on asing its cwn public lsnd receipts for tb. reclamation of ..its des erts, and unless somebody calls a bait, the work of government irrigation will soon be brought to a standstill. I It must be remembered that, once this precedent is established, it will be easy for delegates from the East and Sonth to combine and force throngh bills for the drainiwe nf the swamps in the non-aild states, and If the Km and South ever ao combine for this purpose, the West will never have enough votes to check the onslaught. Britain Will Not Intercede. London, Jnne 22.
