A Strange Proceeding.

The course which the Insurance Depart.
ment is pursuing in regard TO the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company of Maine is
so remarkable that it will go far TO verify the
rumors that have been in circulation the past
week, to the effect that it will in the future
do something to justify Governor Buffers at
tack upon the insurance institutions of the
country. The movements of the Commits
sioner and his assistants will attract atten-
ton. They go to Portland and demand of
the company that its affairs be put into their
hands for investigation. They take a time
when the Commissioner of Maine is making
the investigation required by law. The affairs
Of the company are fully in his hands ana
ut his disposition. Mr.. Tarbox instructs hie
assistant that a joint investigation will not
serve his purpose, and directs him to ''pro
coed without delay to examine the company
and its affairs" II the company had it in
its power TO comply. the Commissioner of
Maine would lave been compelled to throw
up his examination, which he could not do
without leaving the public to assume that
Massachusetts has prior right to examine a
Maine company to the Commissioner of that
State. In the letters which are published
elsewhere il will be seen that the officers
Of the company promise Mr.. Tsrbox that its
Affairs will be put in his hands as soon
As the Commissioner of Maine shall
have completed his examination. They
could do no more; and if Mr.. Tarbox
had been disposed to treat the com
pany with fairness he would have waited q
week or ten days. Instead of pursuing such
= fair line of action he or some one in his
Office and amensble to him gives newspaper
representative the material upon which is
based a statement to the effect that the COM
pany in question refuses to be examined.
These statements must have come from some
one connected with the department.. They
could net be obtained elsewhere. II true,
the department would not have been war
ranted in giving them to the press until
after the examination of the Commits
sioner of Maine has been concluded
and . fresh demand made upon the
officers. But the statements are not true.
The correspondence shows t,.at they are false
and, we NAV fairly add. malicious. We
know nothing Of the company except that il
has paid the policies which have become due
with promptness. We do not appear as its
defender. We do say that until candidly ex-
amined and found wanting, it sheud be
treated - solvent and honorably managed.
This course is due to ito policy holders as
we'll as to the company. The course which
the department has pursued, especially in
giving the information upon which the false
statements of the Traveller were based, can
not be too sweepingly denounced. 1t is lit
tie better than what is known as insurance
wrecking. Boston Journal.

LONDON, Nov. %.
The police at midnight arrested man

Wolf is one of the leading socialists of the

for powder, and some documents, including

THE ENGLISH PRESS

LONDON, Nov. %.
The Daily News, in leading editorial
discussing Egyptian affairs, insists that the
Khedive must surrender the idea attempting
to reach Ell Obed. or of pursuing an agrees
i've conflict with Ell Mahdi, and says the game
of conquest in Central Africa is not worth
either the pecuniary cost or the terrible risk
to human life involved.

with amazement at the singular shortsighted.

Her Majesty's government in wishing tC

The Standard submits that it is quite clear
that this is no time to withdraw troops from
Egypt.
The Daily Telegraph thinks that British
military prestige alone can arrest the pro
gress of Ell Mahdis arms.
The Times says: We cannot believe that
Gladstone will wilfully and blindly dersist in
weakening the small British force now in
Egypt. The broad highway Of the Nile val

What is there to prevent the garrison and

NO MORE FOOTBALL.

Indignant.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. %.
The action of Harvard in forbidding the
football team to play any more games causes
considerable indignation among the Yale
students. 1t entails considerable financial
loss as it breaks the definite engagement of
play with Yale at New York Thanksgiving
Day. The polo grounds were engaged and
and the manager has the power to sue both
teams tor breach of contract. Yale relied
upon the receipts to pay past expenses. 1t
is asserted that last years proceeds of the
Harvard game at Cambridge was pocketed
by the Harvards. The Yale students find
fault and have sent a letter to the Harvard
faculty, stating and urging reasons why the
decision should by altered.

THE KIrrERY TRAGEDY.
The Mystery of Six Wounds Being In.
6icted With a Five.ShOt Re.
volver Explained.
PORTSMOUTH. Y. n. Nov. %.

PORTSMOUTH, y. II. Nov. 90.
Since yesterday noon, the coroner's jury in
the Barrows murder case reconyened, and
under the supervision of County Attorney
Higgins, carefully reviewed the evidence in
the case, and witnessed very thoroughly the
autopsy by DIR. Potter Of this city. Yester-
day afternoon the body of Thomas Barrows
was exhumed. DIR. Potter Immediately be-
gun the post mortem examination, and the
mystery Of the six wounds being inflicted with
a fve-barrelIed revolver was explained.
Throwing his left arm owe. his head in the
position it was when Barrows was found, it
was seen that the ball which pierced the
brain first passed through the arm. This
seemed conclusive proof of murder.
Suspicion being entertained that Barrows
was drugged before being murdered, the
stomach was taken out and the contents
will be analysed. The brain was then re-
moved and the thigh bone of the left leg.
After the autopsy, the jury returned to
Mrs. Barrovs house and she was examined
to considerable length. The proceedings of
tine jury were secret, but it is rumored that
her story did not vary materially from that
told at the former inquest.
Today several more witnesses were exam
ined, but nothing was discovered which in
the least removes suspicion from those per-
sons already suspected. On the contrary it
grows more and more damaging. The in
quest will probably be concluded tomorrow,
and arrests will certainly follow. Public
opinion is still strongly in favor of the theory
of murder.

1t is very strange that when riot be-
tween whites and blacks occurs in south
ern State, the blame is placed upon the
negroes by citizens investigating com
mittees, although it is found that the
whites were generally armed for the fray
and the negroes unarmed. and the blacks
are the sufferers while the whites 90 IN
harmed. Northern men of common sense
true. Some day there will be a fearful
reckoning for these lawless deeds of blood
and these falsehoods to make the blacks
appear responsible for such crimes.
Slowly. but surely, says the New York
Times. the prospective war between
France and China drifts on, and only Il
few weeks or days can pass before the
fighting begins. The note addressed by
China to all foreign powers apropos of the
ToDquin difficulty is courteous. digniied.
and unanswerable. The gist of the matter,
as presented in the circular, is that AMMAN
has been a dependent power to the Chinese
imperial dynasty for more than two hun
dred years. France invades Tonquin. a
Province OF AMMAN. and suddenly refuses
TO acknowledge the sovereignty OF China.
China asks why this is done if France de-
sires to maintain friendly relations with
China. The letter is certainly moderate
and conciliatory in tone. and it will be
very difficult for the belligerent French
men to frame reply which shall be as
Just. temperate. and sensible.
