CONKLING BEBUKEs ARTnUR
A Sensational story thar Comes
from Albany,

A special despatch from ALBANY tc
the New York Tribune, dated last night
says Several members who were
smoking cigars on the opposite side of
Broadway, early in the evening, recall
ed strange scene that they Witnessed
In u little room on the first floor they
saw Senator Conkling pacing the floor
as if mad with rage. He was yehe-
mentIy talking the while with some
person who sat further back in the
room. Curiously watching him thev
saw him in his apparent anger pound
the table With his fists and toss his arms
in the air as if with an imprecation.
Later i'll the evening they heard that
Mr.. Conkling had been greatly angered
by the discovery that the list plelging
Republican members to attend Sena-
torial caucus did not contain the names
of majority of the Republican mem
berS Of the Legislature. 1t was limited
that he had bitterly reprOachcd some
eminent parsonage for not securing
more names. The extraordinary efforts
atterward put forth WAS said to have been
due to this explosion of anger" 4 la

BosToS MARINE INSURANCE Co.-Thc
statement Of the last years business of the
company, and its assets and liabilities on the
lst inst, are given in our columns to-day.
Commencing business in 1874 with a capital
of s2Oa 900, which two years later was in
creased to $500 900, the business of the COM
pauy has largely increased each year. Dur
ins the past year the total amount insured by
the company was over sixty-one million dol
lars. and the premiums received amounted to
over one million dollars. The income for
the past year was 81 ,07l ,42S.4j, while the
amount paid in losses, taxes, etc, was SS22.-
l69 ., leaving a net profit on the years bus
mess of over S2i9, $50. To-day, the company
has assets of almost one and one-half million
dollars, while the net surplus over all liabili-
ties is over 500, 900. AT the annual meet
ing held Jan. IL. it was voted to increase the
capital stock to 81 900 900 by the payment in
cash of sio0,000. The Increased capital will
give the Boston Marine assets of nearly So
$4,000. and will undoubtedly add to its al
ready large business. With the success of
the company in past years and its prospects
Tor the future the Boston Marine may well
claim to rank among the largest and best of
the insurance corporations in England and
America.

10000 members in the United States, and
branches in every State in the Union except
Rhode Island. The order should demand
four things
l. That the Commissioner of Agriculture
be made Secretary of the Department of
agriculture. and have seat in the Cabinet
with the same salary as the other heads of
apartments
= That Congress shall enact general
railroad laws in the interest of the people
against monopolies
j. The patent laws shall be revised
ioF the protection Of users and manufactur-
ers alike.
T. The enactment of graduated income
tax.
