Dakota's Insurance Law.

YANKToN, Special Correspondence, Sept 8.
Insurance companies and insurance agents
will be interested in learning of a decision re-
Gently made ssby Col George LIE Ordway, au-
dltor Of the Territory. Last winter the legis-
lature passed o new insurance law toward the
close OF tho session, and amid the rush OF
business an amendment was made which aimed
to compel all outside companies other than
life to make With the Territorial treasurer o
special deposit of $25, 900 for the benefit of
Its Dakota policy holders. Another clause Of
the law loft 1t open question whether after all
the special deposit might not be made at the
place where the company was organized.
mere was such an apparent conflict between
the two clauses (%secIions % and 46) that ex-
Auditor Purdy at first issued q circular to the
companies to the effect THAT the deposit might
De made with the chief financial or insurance
officer of the State where the company was or
ga,.lzed. Later, Mr.. Pnrdy mod fed his former
decision, and held that outside companies must
make the deposit with the Territorial treasurer.
This decision, though following naturally from
the reading of the law, was detrimental 10 tho
pubic interest; for many companies have de-
clded not 10 q a deposit here, preferring to
withdraw from the Territory. The result
would be q loss 10 the people of Dakota, since
an open field to all companies will give the
people the best rates. After quoting the two
section, Auditor Ordway's circular to the COM
panies closes as follows:
After a full and thorough consideration of this
act, aud in accordance with the opinion of the at
torney general OF the Territory of Dakota. it has
other than those exempted by this act. can be al
owed to do business within the Territory unless
they shall have previously deposited with the Ter
rltorial treasurer of this Territory. or with the chief
financial officer or commissioner of insurance in the
State where such company is organized, securities
of its policyholders in the Territory Of Dakota, the
market value of which shall at all times be equal to
$4,000. such assignment and securities to be sub
tore such companies shall be allowed to do bust
ness in the Territory.
Lite insurance companies are not required
to make thisd deposit. In this connection the
following statement Of receipts and losses Of
Insurance companies doing business III tho Ter

PITH OF THE NEWS.
Washington News Notes.

All the leading telegraph companies whose
lines enter this city, including the Western
Union, American Rapid and Baltimore &
Ohio, have recently made an application to
the district commissioner for leave to erect
new lines of poles, or reset old lines in va
rious parts of the city. These applications
have all been Genied upon the ground that
poles ana wires disfigure the streets and in
