SIR: In last Mondays Sun / find u report
headed, bursting another Bubble" being speech
by Que Solomon, which contains such grave mesrep-
resentatcps that feel bound TO write this expan4
tory letter.
As to the mass meeting in tie Casino in East
Houston street, have to say that It was called by
advertisements in the papers and pacards about tho
city, speak about life Insurance and the Independ
cnt especially, aud that nothing was said Of an in
dignation meeting" This meeting, though adveI,
used largely, was so poorly attended (see report in
the AT6eiteT IN i0H) that II may be called an indie
nation meeiing,' bec9use the wire-pullcrs were 80
indignant that so lew people attended, aud that
~ least half OF those VINO did attend were indignant
about the language used ana the way OF conducting
an assembly that was intended to be public. One Of
the speakers tried TO recover the lost pros
poets of fortune by using mean aud insulting Ian
guage against the lIildise Bund its administration
the metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and ms
in barking at the Bund and all connected with IT,
In correction Of the statements made on that oc,
easion have only TO say that the lldise Bund has
not 10000 members, but 300, q number
certainly large for an association started only one
yeaI ago, aud attacked by nearly every insurance
agent the city, that the regular quarterly account
was delivered last sunday ut the meetn. OF the cen.
trail body that tho next quarterly account viii 30
up to the 5Oth OF september; that over 5000 in
bank Is increasing from $500 to 800 u week that
besides this large amount OF commissions will be
due within two or three months, To be paid into the
treasury OF the Bund that the regular relief money
was paid out in August and that the same was done
In September, and viii be done al regular periods.

ry Of The Bund Tor Onetlird OF the premiums the
Company has allowed Tor tie nrst 800 momDors
