sHAKY INSURANCE COMPANIES.
WHY WAS THE Lie ENsE OF THE PROVIDENCE
CITY COMPANY REVOKED?

WHY WAS THE LICENSE OF THE PROVIDENCE
CITY COMPANY REVOKED?
The revocation OF the license Of the City Insurance
Company of Providence, r. l., which empow-
cred it TO transact business and take risks in this
State has caused considerable among parties
interested in the insurance business 1t was thought
that a wholesale crusade was about to be made
against companies which have been either doing bus
mess in New York without license who have been
taking fraudulent risks The arrival in this city of Mr.
orlow W. Chapman, Superintendent Of Insurance, gave
color TO this rumor but when called upon by HERALD
reporter Mr. Chapman disclaimed all knowledge Of any
crusade In regard to the City Insurance Company OF
Providence he explained that when any company out
of the State Of New York desired transact business
within its limits, said company had first TO furnish
list to the insurance department OF their authorized
agents. before they could legally issue any policies. It
frequently occurs that company decides to withdraw
It's business from the State in which event the agents
license is revoked in the case OF the company men,
toned Mr. Chapman further said that frequently a
company rather than undergo an examination Of its
affairs by the authorized State COMMISSIONER with
draws from doing business in the State When asked
If there was not large amount Of insurance business
transacted in the State by unauthorized agents OF
companies and " so, what was the penalty attached
In the event OF detection, Mr.. Chapman replied-
'The Insurance Department of the State is not only
in life fre marine and accident companies There was
a law passed last winter which authorized any ndivi-
dual or corporation interested in insurance matters to
prosecute agents doing business illegally and in tho
event of conviction the penalty attached is $500 fine
But few convictions have been made however, for
whenever the attention Of the Attorney General of tho
State has been called TO case as rule he has referred
1t TO the District Attorney Of the county where the
alleged offence has been committed The district attor
neys generally have been lax in prosecuting and tho
cases were let drop The Board of Underwriters hoy
ever can at any time prosecute, they are parties in
thn AZ lay hnf nj AFN
10 the prosecution the complainant furnish bonds
for the costs Of the suit the event Of his failure
convict
Mr. Chapman said that he made itan absolute rule
TO express any opinion Of the affairs OF any
pany previous 10 examination, and reiterated the
assertion that his presence in New York had
tion with any proposed Crusade but that he hero
simply 10 attend the meeting OF the National Insurance
Commission. which Is 10 be held To night
The New York herald., 1875-09-20

ONE OF THE CAUSES or CORRUPTION.
The entire Indian Department is rotten from the
agent to the Commissioner and the most fruitful cause
OF is the small salary allowed the agents There is no
instance in public private where men are cx
pected 70 assume so much responsibility for 81 500
year The sum is insult TO Of capacity and
honor Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars are to be ao
counted for and the agents life is in danger
The friends Of the retiring agent and the stoopgeons Of
the ring will circulate the most damaging and malicious
stories about any man, matter how honest or sin
cere he may be. The contractors and semi official
thieves Of Sioux City, st. Paul and Washington
have agents and friends in every town, and the
moment they find that they can't control an agent
they set about to ruin him by slander. ''But," say
Mr.. sperry's friends, 'you describe Mr. sperrys case
exactly He is the model agent the one Christian gen
tleman on the Missouri River These stories that you
hear false. Go to Messrs sperry Raymond
and they Will set you right" reply that man who
kills the Indians CATTLE sells the beef and sends them
the entras, as Mr.. sperry did last winter, is bad
man; that man who keeps boarders on the Indians
provisions and puts the money his pocket and makes
entry Of 1t In his cash book corrupt have

place, and know that they starved have eaten

THE OPENING coNTEsT-A "scRUB" RACE BE-
TWEEN THE UNDINE AND BACHELOR CREWS
SUCCESS OF THE FORMER.
On Saturday afternoon, the boating season
was naugurated by a scrub race between the
Undine and Bachelor crews of the Christana
Navy. large number of people showed their
interest in the contest by repairing to points Of
observation along the course. Owing to mis-
understanding between the newspapers and
those who were conducting the affair, provok-
ing wait of an hour WAS occssioned, but 10
closely contested was the race that all seemed
well repaid for what many supposed to be a de-
lay.
The race was over a straight course, beginning
at the mouth of Mill Creek, above Walton,
Whann Co.'S works, and terminating at Third
Street Bridge. The water lay perfectly still,
like sea of glass, and the slowly ebbing tide
but slightly accelerated the forward motion OF
the boats, 80 that the contest became one OF
skill, strength and endurance. Owing 10 the
little practice which the crews had had, neither
was in good training, and the race WAS n severe
trial to both, although the distance rowed over
was shorter than usual.
The following were the crews Undine-J.
II. Lewis, stroke End. G. N. Caleb pa, ]. Paul
Brown 4th, VIM N Hamilton, il. coxswain,
Jos. l.. Jackson: Bachelor-stroke, +. S. Lew
| is 2nd, William Bowers, Sd, Il. NJ. Rile 4th,
George Mccall coxswain, Charles Campbell.
| The Undine used their gig, the White CAP, and
| the Bachelor the Iddlid. The Pioneer club was
not represented in the race.
| The Undne crew got the advantage at the
| start, but the Bachelors closed up the gap par
| TALLY in rowing down to Market street bridge.
After passing this point, however, they again
el.away but once Tapped the boats about the
oyster wharf and came in at Third street bridge
not more than one and one quarter boats
| lengths in the rear. The race was the most
| closely contested Of any yet made, and all the
way down it it was a matter of uncertainty as to
which crew would be awarded the victory. The
| time was not recorded, but the race occupied
| about eight minutes.
| Both crews were in full uniform On Fri
| day night the boat house OF the Bachelor club
WAS broken open and the lockers robbed Of the
shirts OF the members. During Saturday, how
ever, the shirts were found scattered around in
| the vicinity of the house, and the most of them
were recovered, the object OF the perpetrators Of
the offence being apparently mischief rather
| than theft.
These races will be OF frequent occurrence
during the summer II is stated that another
| will take place on Saturday next, but OF this If
it should occur, due notice will be given.
