The recent great flies are bringing up again
all the old questions. A correspondent Of
the New York Journal of Commerce in
quires: off a firm has insurance on its
stock for $50 600, and all the stock is worth
100000, and their stock Is damaged by
tire TO the extent of $4,000. how much in
surauce can they collect? Do the Compa-
Lies pay the whole damage, or do they pay
In proportion Of the whole stock to the
amount of insurance?-.hat is, will the
firm receive $4,000, or only S25,000?" In
reply the Journal states that no matter
bow much the stock is worth,
If the insurance is for $4,000 un-
dsI plain ordinary policy, the underwri-
ter must pay any loss which occurs up to
that amount.
But if the policy contains what is known
IS .the average clause" (Which reads at
is understood and agreed that claims under
Ibis policy shall only be for such proportion
Of the whole loss as the amount of this al
iowsnce bears to the whole value of the
proT erty iusured,") then the loss falls pro
rata on the underwater and the owner. If
the ock is insured hslf its value, with this
clause inserted, the underwater pays half
the loss. If insured one-fourth the value,
sd5tt 10 pays Ol1C-iDuiNu bLO lO55s Dlb IL
this clause is omitted, then the owner can
collect his entire loss, if enough has been
insured in solvent companies.
A Boston merchant having asked the
question: "WhO is responsible for the loss
occssioned by the bio wing up, with gun
powder, Of the buildings in this city at the
lste tire?" the reply is made that the loss is
precisely the same as if they had been
burned. If the buildings blown up were
ct such distance from the fire that 1t is
doubtful if they would have burned, the
city may be held responsible. An insur-
snce case is quoted from Wendell's re-
ports showing that the loss of buildings
under such circumstances is loss by fire
within the meaning of the policy of insur-
ance.

MIR. Scofeld referred TO Mr.. Banks as hsy-
Ing sympathized with the effort to involve
the country in a war with Spain.
Mr.. Banks denied that he had ever SYM
thalzed with such efforts. He had intro
ducsd the bill because the Secretary had
declared to the members of the House that
he was afraid events had occurred in the
Gulf of Mexico which would require the
Government to be prepar d to defend their
commerce.
Mr.. Scofield said he was opposed to Halls
amendment, because the Navy Department
was prepared to construct iron vessels in
the navy yards at New York, Boston and
Washington.

sacred than here. The Journal tonight
refutes these assertions in strong terms.
