can Academy OF Arts and Sciences, and
the National Academy Of Science. BE

perial Royal Geological Institute OF Wen.
ma, and the Royal Institute OF Science and

he bad not gone to his room and servant
sas sent to the parlor after him, and found

EXPERTS are calling attention to the IN:
proftableness Of fire underwriting for the
closing year. The New York Commercial
Bulletin says that mo year this side of1s72,
when the Boston FIRE occurred, has been 50
prolific Of fre losses, both as to number and
sggregate loss" The effect has not been
les. on investors in this class Of securities.
OF fity-eight New York companies the
stock Of but thirteen Of them is quoted
above the quotations Of year age; nearly
all the others show a considerable
decline. Unless something shall be done
to lessen the risks, that is to say, to afford
greater protection from loss by fire, it can
not be long before the public will observe
another effect in increased rates. The
qiestion will present itself whether preyen-
tiOn is not cheaper and better than cure.
The losses by FIRE for year are about four
times the amount raised by the Govern
ment by duties on Imports, q burden, Of
direct taxation which little extra care
would greatly reduce.

The train was running at the nate Of about
twenty miles an hour, and as 1t was caused
by q broken switch there was nothing to

that no one was much hurt, except 8 man
named Manling, who had a cash cut in his

them belongs the credit Of saving the pass

TlE Democratic newspapers which lack
the courage OF their party's convictions are
trying to explain Mr.. Carlisle out Of his
tariff position. The New York Sun re.
marked that the Speaker stands with Pres
itent Polk and his Secretary Of the Treas
nry, Robert j. Walker. Here is a nice
little chunk from Mr.. Walker: =
No prejudice is felt by the Secretary oi
the Treasury against manufacturers. His
opposition is TO the protective system.
1t Is generally conceded that re:
Ciprocal free trade among nations would
best advance the interests Of all.
Let our commerce be as free as our politi.
cal institutions. Let US with revenue
duties only open our ports to all the word.
Agriculture is our chief employ
meni; 1t is best adapted to our situation,
and II not depressed by the tariff would be
most profitable.
England also thought and still thinkF
thstR United States confined to agriculture
would be infinitely better for manufacture
ing England. Butas We won free political
institutions We have gone on until wehaye
established free industrial institutions or
Oarown soil. England has always desired
that with revenue duties only" We shall
"Open our ports to the world"-she know
well enough that taritl for revenue onl,
does not mean q tariff for protection. sscre

PrrrsBuReu, December 2S.-It is evident
that no improvement is to be expected in
the oil trade during the last days OF 1888.
The Gauss Of this depression ia thus out
lined by bull: "The Standard don't
want to sell rtfned at present prices. It
is putting up the price and allowing
European stocks to decline, while lis agents
are selling down crude whenever the
market advances. When the Standard is
ready to take hold OF crude and sell re-
fned, there will be an advance, and q
sharp one too"
A bear meets this by saying: "The
market Is heavy OF It's own weight, and
those who shaps their course by waiting to
see what others are doing or going to do,
are going to be left"

The award, they say, is unfair and not in

than submit they will close down their
works. The miners are indignant at the
refusal Of the operators to submit to the
award, as they assert the latter proposed
the arbitration and promised to abide by
the umpires decision.
