2IIHIS Society, which confines it's bust
a ness exclusively to ass lring the lives
Of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring inthe- same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, aud sufi-
cient to create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
2 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
It's career during a period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives Of persons residing in this part Of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe.

for indirect damages are within the Treaty, andhl-
though a money reward is eIthe desired nor asked
it is expected that the tribunal will make such ex-
preston Of opinion on this question as it thinks
proper. Mr.. Adams, the representative of the
United States on the board, contends that the
tribunal has authority to express an opinion as
to the admissibility of these claims, while Sir
Alexander Cockburn, the British arbitrator,
maintains that these claims are not in the treaty
and that the tribunal, therefore, cannot take
cognizance of them in any form that the motion
Of the British agent is to the effect to ask the
tribunal to reject what the agent OF the Ameri-
can government admits is not properly before
them under the seventh article of the treaty
that if the two governments were agreed upon
presenting the claims for indirect damages for
adjudication before the tribunal there would
have been no occasion for the protest filed by
the British agent on 18th April last. But the
British government denies an toto that such
claims were ever intended to be presented for
adjudication, and that the decision OF the tribu-
nal must be that they are not within their pro-
vince. While this contention is confined cxclu-
eively to the Board Of Arbitrators, the decision
depends upon the vote /. the majority, and in
wolves the consideration of the whole diplomatic
correspondence whether the indirect claims are
or are not in the treaty.
