of telegrapbic communication between Brazil and
the United States has found an ardent champion in
the Chamber of Commerce of Rio de Janeiro, which
has expressed the hope to see the enterprise com-
pleted within two years. Theßrazilian Government
is reported to have concluded the contract with Mr.
Collins.

Advices received here from Havannah announce
that the export duties in the island of Cuba have
been suspended for six months.
The Philadelphia correspondent of the Round
Table gives an account of an institution which has
been in operation with great success in Philadelphia
during the last two years, based on the system of
mutual assurance. .As yet this society is limited to
Freemasons, mid is not much known even to them,
being chiefly confined to Germans and their friends.
The plan is to insure a certain sum to widows on
their husbands' death without a heavy tax on the
husband while alive. There are now GOO members ;
and on entrance each newly-elected member pays
$5. This is allowed to accumulate, at interest, on
safe investment. There is no further annual sub-
scription, but on the death of a member each sur-
viving associate has to pay a contribution of $1 05.'
This fraction of a dollar is to pay for expense of
notice through the Post-office, a printed circular,
and postage. The dollar contribution goes to the
widow, who gets as many dollars as there are mem-
bers. The age of a candidate is not considered be-
fore admission, but it is expected that his proposer
and seconder will affirm that be is in good health.
At present the ages vary from 25 to 65. During
the two years the society has been in existence only
three members have died ; one between 25 and 35,
one between 35 and 45, and the third at the age of
50. Thus each member has had to pay $3 15 on
account of these deaths in twenty months, and three
widows have received $l,BOO among them. Of
course, there may occasionally be heavier mor-
tality, but it is calculated that ten deaths per
annum ought to be very much above the average.

A small loan for the State of Massachusetts has
been announced by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.
The amount requireclois £413,300 in Bonds of £lOO

1894, and both principal and interest are domi-
ciliated at the counting-house of Messrs. Baring
Brothers and Co., and are also payable free of
charge at the current rate of exchange in Am-
sterdam at the office of Messrs. Hope and Co.
This amount of £413,300 constitutes the remainder
issued to the present time of the loan called the
Bounty Fund, created in conformity with the acts of
the State of Massachusetts of 1864 and 1865 10 mil-
lions of dollars, except a sum of $1,420,000, or about
£293,300 still reserved by the State authorities.
The State of Massachusetts applies from resources
in its possession an accumulating sinking fund of 3
per cent. per annum on the amount of the Bounty
Fund for the extinction of the $10,000,000 loan on
May 1, 1894. The payments for the above men-
tioned bonds are to be made as follows : —l5 per
cent. on Nov. 1, 1866, 15 per cent. on January 8,

A letter from Cairo states that in Egypt, as in
France, many disasters bad been produced by the
inundations. The Nile had risen to an unprece-

beforehand adopted great precautions. In spite of
these, however, it was feared that great loss of life
and property would ensue. In Upper Egypt ter-
rible disasters and destruction of property had
already been made known.
