A Great Insurance Company.
The Connecticut Mutual Life Insur-

ance 00., one Of the strongest and _

most reliable insurance institutions in
[either the New or the Old World, has
rounded out half a century of prosperi-
ty; and its fiftieth annual report is one
of much instructive interest to the
public.

TheI company was chartered by the
Connecticut legislature away- back in
1.846 when James Knox Polk was presi-

. dent of the United States. It has had
a most interesting history founded on
the best business basis. The company’s
principle has been decided and invaria-
ble through its prosperous life of half a
century. Nineteen of the first 500 men
that took policies in the year 1846 are
still alive and their policies are still in
force. In the granting of policies the
company has always paid cautious
attention to relationships of climate,
personal surroundings and habits, and
physical conditions at the time of ap-
plication for insurance.

These preciutions were the impera-
tive, exacting rule Of the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance company in
every case. . No distinction or favor
has been shown to anybody, no matter
“how wealthy or influential he was.
Such a course has won for the company
solid confidence and esteem among the
people a id has been in keeping with
the best interest of the great body of
‘policy holders. The Connecticut Mu-
tual never makes any high-flying ex-
cursions to foreign lands in order to
lengthen the roll of policy takers; nor,
l we “.8 competitors, has it ever sought
L: retaliatory legislation Of any sort
against any company or corporation.

Itkecps its own business within the
bounds of its own Cullutl'y. It has al-
ways carefully picked out its own risks,
has in do itself familiar With all the con-
ditions of the applicant so as not to go
it blind in any detail. It never had to
and never would anyway, delegate the
control Of its most vital interests to the
discretion of ' a foreign directorate.
The custody of its assets has never been
given to any foreign government. The
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
cmipiny has done and forever will do a
purely American business.

The annual statement will be found
in our adVertising columns.

SENATOR ALLEN ANGRY
The Nebraskan filled by an Objection
From Mr. Hale of Maine. '

RETALIATION THREATENED.

The Cuban Matter Bobs Up In an Unex-
pected Manner In the Senate——Con-'
’fercnce Talk In the House—Chat
of the National Capital.

WASHINGTON, March 6.—The question
of Cuban independence came up unexpect-
edly in the senate today when Mr. Allen
of Nebraska presented a resolution direct.
ing the president to' issue a proclamation
recognizing the independence of Cuba.
Fora time there was some doubt as to Mr.
Allen’s securing unanimous consent to
address the senate on the resolution, as
Mr. Hale of Maine urged that the subject
should not be brought up unless Mr. AL.
len had some good reason ‘for pressing it
at this time. The Nebraska senator
warmly answered that if there was any
Objection from Mr. Hale the latter could
take Warning that he would not receive
unanimous consent on any measure as
long as he (Allen) was in the senate.

Mr. Clzaridler (Rep, N. H.) said that it
this remark was addressed to Mr. Hale he
could to kc care of himself, but so far as he
(Chandler) was concerned he would with-
holdhis consent from the rajuestof any
senator who prefaced his request by a
threat against senators in general.

Mr. Allen responded that his remarks
Were addressed to Mr. Hale and not to
senatOrs in general. It Was because he
felt incensed for the moment at the course
Of the senator from Maine. It was the
third time in recent days that Mr. Hale
had violated the senate rules and had then
objected to requests similar to those he
had made. Mr. Allen said he had no apol-
ogies to offer and nothing to take back.

Allen’s Speech Postponed.’

Mr. Allen seemed to be much in earnest.
Mr. Hale responded smilingly that he did
not propose to have a vendetta with Mr.
Allen. He would utterly decline to enter
into a. practice of watching the Nebraska
senator and paying him Ofi for something
done. He and the Nebraska senator ought
to be in better business. He meant no
Offense to Mr. Allen.

The latter answered that the frequent
Objection of Mr. Hale came with poor
grace in view of that senator’s violations of
the rules. ‘

Mr. Chandler insisted that Mr. Allen
should not characterize action in request-
ing unanimous consent as a'violation of
the senate rules. Mr. Chandler added
that senators were in the habit of doing
business as a body Of gentlemen Observing
amenities that would prevail in a gentle-
man’s own parlor.

Mr. Wolcott (Rep, Colo.) protested
against the discursive personal contro-
versy, and Mr. Allenbrought it to a close
by stating that he would postpone his
speech, adding scircastically that he would
do this. if Mr. Hale gave his consent to
such a course.

The senate then went to the calendar
and passed the following bills and resolu-
tions: . »

To pay Charles P. Cltauteau, survivor Of
Chauteau Hurriscnvnle, $174,000 for a
battery lurni ‘hcd during the war; direct
ing the judiciary committee to investigate
the subject Of “contempt Of court” and
report what amendutory legislation. was
necessary. ' f

The last resolution was drawn by Mr.
Hill and is a substitute for resolutions for
an inquiry into the imprisonment- Of E.-
V. Debs.

Mr. Hansbrough (N. D.) called up the
bill for the establishment of an “art com—
mission of the United States” to consist of
five members. It went over on an objec-
tion by Mr. Allen.

Mr. Hansbrough then stated that the
need Of such a commission was imperative
to pass on paintings, statues, etc, Offered
for sale to congress. Unless such a meas-
ure was adOpted he would, as chairman Of
the library committee, Object to the fur-
ther purchase of paintings, statues, etc.,
offered without the Opinion Of competent
experts.

At 1:30 o’clock the senate took up the
Du Pont contested clection case, and Mr.
Mitchell (Rep, Or.) resumed his argu-
ment in behalf of Mr. Du Pont. The sen-
ator combated the position of the minor-
ity report, which held that the United
States senate could not pass on the title Of
William T. Watson as a member of the
state senate of Delaware as to the qualifi-
cations for a seat in the Delaware legisla-
ture, which was the exclusive judge, but
when a constitutional question was in-
volved the United States senate had a
right to adjudicate on the right of a state
legislator to vote on the election Of a.
United States senator. The Delaware leg-
islature had the exclusive right to pass on
questions of fact arising under the four
qualifications of the Delaware constitution
for membership in the legislature.

But the state did not have this exclusive
right of determining questions involving
the fundamental law Of‘the state. In that
case the United States senate always had
the reserved right to pass on the subject.

0 In the House.

At the Opening of the session Of the
house today, at the request of Mr. Hitt,
chairman of the foreign affairs committee,
the senate request for a conference on the
Cuban resolutions was agreed to.

A bill was passed on motion of Mr.
Grosvenor (Rep, 0.) to make the national
military parks national fields for maneu-

- vers of the regular army and militia of the

states under regulations to be prescribed
by the secretary of war.

The house then resumed consideration
of-the amendment to the legislative ap-
propriation bill to abolish the fee system
in the case of United States attorneys and
marshals. The salaries of the attorneys
were fixed yesterday. Today the salaries
of marshals Were considered.

Mr. Hartman (Rep., Mon.) made an at-
tack on President Cleveland in the house
late this afternoon for his speech before
the Presbyterian home mission board in
New York, which, he declared, was a
slander on western states and was grossly
improper. Mr. Powers (Rep, Vt.) and
Mr. Miles (Dem., Md.) attempted to call
Mr. Hartman to order, but Mr. Hepburn,
in the chair, declined to interfere.

One Day’s Government Receipts.
WASHINGTON, March 6.—National bank
notes received for redemption today, $264,-
249; government receipts from internal
revenue, $516,544; customs, $885,673; mis-
cellaneous, $14,213. ' °

House Substitute Adopted.
WASHINGTON, March 6.—The conferees
of the two houses on the Cuban resolu-
tions, after a conference of 40 minutes,‘to-
day agreed upon the house substitute.
