The impression has gotten abroad that ths
| Local Board Of Underwriters has made general
reduction in the rates OF insurance. While such
reduction would be hailed with joy bystho people
OF Chicago, who have long been suffering from
excessive rates, still there is but little occasion
| for rejoicing, as tho ABDUCTION made amounts
to but very little. At the last meeting Of tho
| Board modification was made ia the present
tariff, and the rntes 30 adjusted rs to bring them
more into accord With the character and occupa-
ton OF the building. Thus the rates on high
buitdinga will hereafter be higher than on
low ones, while heretofore no distinction was
made. Low buildings have been reduced, but
the rates On high ones remain the eame ab they
we're heretofore. This vas dono to prevent the
non-Board companies from knowing the exact
rates, and prevent them from "cutting under"
the regular Board rates. Even this slight redue-
tion WAS considerably modified at = meeting held
yesterday morning There is some talk OF recon-
sidering the whole action at ths next regular
meeting of the Board.

TILE CHICAGO UNIVERSITY.
Tho Baptist HecAdy, ct Philadelphia. publishes
tho resolutions offered BY Mr.. Greenebaum 1t
tho Lac. meering of the Board Of the Chicago
University relatiyo to diyes;ing the University
OF it's denominat!oaal character if the Bsptists
did not pay OF its indebtedness, and comments
thereon az follows:
These resolutions confirm tho reports long current
Of cocs that hare been made to deprive tho Baptist
denomination Of their chartered rights In that school,
The knowledge Of these efforts, and the fear engen-
dered BY tbs inehcency Of the administration, havef
prevented that Aearty cooperation OF the friends q
The Unisers1ty which might otherwtso haro heen en-
joyed. And now, II our Chicago brethren desire to
arai themselves Of the advantages Of tho
centennial educational movement, they will find !
it necessary to adopt eourso by which |
tho peril threatened BY NJ. GreenebauIn 1nay never
ariec. Whether these resolutions originated in hos
tilty to Baptist interests, in policy Of despair
the 2<t Of the administration, does not appear. But
il they become tho policy Of the Board they will injnre
the prospects Of tbs University. The only course left
the presSpt administration in case Is unable to
vent thisNnm.s.ak.blo threat from passing the Boxr,
is to Etep down and out, and thus accomplish two
desirable ends, viz: clear itself Of the suspicion OF
treason to tho denomination, and 1nake way for an
efficient and trusted Bspttss headship !
