Only member OF the Department who has visited that
city officially since its late misfortune The object OF his
visit was to learn the exact origin of the fire and the
true story of its destructive progress Soon after his

gave his opinions upon important matters. He said in

LILLE LNSNRANCE LOSS.

4 careful summary of the loss which the
Boston fire has entailed upon insurance com
papies will be found in another column. We
think its totals will prove substantially accu-
rate. 1t is likely, on the one hand, that in
many instances the figures which are assumed
as losses in these estimates will be consider
ably reduced in making settlements, as there
will be more or less salvage of goods and
other allowances. But against this we set the
consideration that these estimates of loss prin-
cipally emanate from insurance officers, whose
interest it is to make them az light az facts
will permit, since the PRONUNCIATION of a great
loss might operate to the disadvantage of a
company seeking new business. And we be-
lieve these two classes of contingencies will
balance each other.
We assume, therefore, that, as the failures
will be few and small, the insurance interest
outside of Boston will pay somewhat more
than twenty millions of dollars toward making
GOOD her loss. The losses of the Boston in
surancc companies cannot, we think, amount
to the earlier estimates of thirty millions
twenty would be much nearer the probabili-
ties. 1t is now hoped that the Boston compa-
MES will be able on the average to pay fifty
per cent of their losses admitting which, we
should place the entire lors to the insurance
interest of the world by the Boston fire at
fully $4O,OOO,OOO, of which s3O,OOO.OOO will be
paid.
The great shock of the removal of this
amount of capital has been, TO use a Wall-st
phrase, already discounted. The process of
restoring it is already begun, and is exceed
ingly rapid. A great fire creates new insur-
ance. Thousands Of owners of property are
reused by it to sense Of the dangers of their
own possessions, and the insurance Offices are
throngcd with new applicants seeking to
"placoo risks they had previously disregarded,

ton. He pointed out the uncommonly high
warehouses and the wooden roofs that crowned
them; he called our attention to the crowded
closeness of the buildings and to the narrow
thoroughfares, and he then said: "There will

"fires which ever devastated city," He
was only one Of many prophets in Bos-
ton who were not believed, and whose
prophecies have been sadly fulfilled. 1t
may seem hard to remind the people OF
Boston, at such a time as this, of predictions
which were then freely made, even by them
selves But in this matter they have been no
more bamable than the people of New ork
or of many other pOpulous cities. The whole
enterprise of the country is cursed by reck-
lessness, by a blind, infidel trust in what Is
absurdly called Providence; and the whole
wealth of the country, if it could be concen-
trated at one point. would be under the same
ban. We are saved simply by diffusion, ana
because it is not likely that many large towns
will be burned at the same time. Having

as well as to increase the proportion of insur-
ance they had already obtained. The necessity
of changing insurance from one company to an
other also brings about an occasion for increasing
insurance, and makes tho business very lively.
Tn Boston, as all the unburned risks in the
broken companies have to be replaced, there
are more applications for insurance than sound
local companies to take them, and the agencies
of out-of-town companies are dong moro
business in a few days than they have done
for years in that city. The new business Is
all done at advanced rates; and 1t needs no
prophet in finance to assure us that, If no new
calamity overtalzes the insurance interest IL
will hold, by the time Boston and Chicago
are rebuilt as large surplus as ever.

Notwithstanding the frauds and injustice OF
the Clayton Ring in Arkansas, the voters OF
that State have declared very emphatically Tor
Reform. Thousands of legal voters were ex-
cluded from registration by the Ring, and all
sorts of tricks were resorted to in order 10
stifle the voice of the people. In spite OF this,
ffty-four counties give Brooks, the Liberal
nominee for Governor a majority OF $500, and
in the twenty counties unreported con-
siderable increase is expected. In some In
stances, the persons debarred from registra-
ton opened polls and cast their ballots under
a provision of the Enforcement Law, which,
they claim, it seems, as covering their case. How
many there were may be inferred from the
fact that their vote increases the Liberal ma
jority (above given to $685.. We have no
means of ascertaining the legality of the pro-
ceedings of the voters threatened with dis
reimbursement; but it is probable that the ar
bitrary conduct of the Clayton Ring Will be
brought to the test of law, though the result
at the extra polls does not affect the general
result

now made public.
The Boston fire is all out, and the plucky
people of that city, emuatiDg those of Chi
ago, are already at work among the ruins
making preparations for rebuilding. Our dis
patches show that the financial feeling Is
steadily increasing in buOyancy, and, though
here must be, to some extent, depression and
suspension, the general indications are de-
,dcdly cheerful and encouraging We are
gradually getting at the condition of the local
,anks and insurance companies, which is found
% be better than could possibly have been
expected. The total loss of property is still
.stimated at about $1OO,OOOOoO or less; and it
: certain that the worst has been told con-
.crning the great Boston fire.
The most noteworthy part of the decision of
he Emperor of Germany on the San Juan
Question was the omission of all reference to
he conclusions of the three experts whom he
selected to report on the matter. This seemed
o favor the statement telegraphed to one of
ne London journals. that the experts, although
,hoosing the De Haro Channel, had recon-
ncndcd as a compromise the middle channel,
which would give the Island of San Juan to
tledt BRITAIN. his bldlCulCul IL Iuitutl NOh-
irmcd 10y our Berlin correspondent, whose
ctter j. published Oh another rage. The ex-
raOrdinary recommendation of the experts
was properly disregarded by the Emperor,
WHO, confirming himself strictly to the pro-
visions of the treaty. under which he exercised
ais authority, decided that the claim of the
United States was most in accordance with
he Treaty OF 1916, which be was to interpret.
On lhe second page Of The TRIBUNE to-day
a, printed the best statement of the Boston
Osses which has yet been made. This emu
neratiOn includes 2l1 names additional to the
luprecedcntedly full and accurately-aTTanged
lists already published in these columns, with
he names of the owners and situation Of the
buildings. We have, therefore, published lists
IF losses amounting to $9S20,300 on the
assessed valuation of the buildings alone
comprising $50 pieces of property. The selling
Drice of the houses thus burned would prOba
bly, have been over S15,OOOOOO. Our list of
sufferers by the fire is also continued,
showing a total number Of 2,043 firms burned
)ut. These figures, which are trustworthy and
carefully compiled, are suggestive; but they
are not, after all, discOuTaging nor profoundly
depressing They represent portion of
Boston's wealth--a portion of the country's
wealth but the loss is not so great as to be
long felt in the business of the country, as
crushing calamity.
