The Insurance COmmissi0ner's Report

The annual report of State Insurance
Commissioner Smith has been issued.
The Name companies received in
premiums last year stock Sl33, 053 and
paid in losses $3.50, 467, leaving
balance of $40 ,5S6-a gain over 1883 of
S37,2l5. The Maine mutual insurance COM
panies received in premiums and assess
ments. S57 ,22l, and paid for losses S27. 1913.
AT the close of the year 1884 there were
81 fire, tire-marine, and marine insurance
companies organized under the laws of the
State and authorized to do business there
In OF which two were stock marine,
one mutual fire marine and twenty-eight mu-
tual fire insurance companies. The Mer-
chants Marine Company of Bangor discon-
tinued taking new risks, reinsuring its risks
with the Insurance Company OF North Amer
lea. There were nineteen life. one guaran-
tee. one guarantee and casualty and three
casualty insurance companies authorized to
do business in this State. The securities of
the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company
have stood the depression we'll, and since the
annual report have shown an advance that
aggregates a respectable percentage. The
company won its foreclosure suit against the
Chicago university, and its real estate was
sold under the decree of the court and bid in
by the company for S275.000. The company
has no doubt of being able to realize out of
the property the full sum paid with interest.
Two assessment or cooperative companies
consisting of citizens of Maine have organized
and are doing business. During the year
1913 life policies were issued; amount in
sured, 81, s29 SOB; premiums received, S5O7. =

How Gordon Was Killed.

New YORK, May pa London cable letter
says San Egyptian sergeant who was present
at the fall of Khartoum, and who was fortunate
enough to be spared in the almost general massa-
cre has succeeded in escaping from the Mahdis
clutches and reached Assouan. From him many
interesting particulars concerning the capture of
Khartoum have been learned. He says that at
the time of the capture Khartoum was on the
verge of famine. Supplies of all kinds were al :
most exhausted, and food was selling at
exorbitant rates. The rebel army, which
numbered some twenty five thousand men,
during one night filled up the trench around the
town. and the next morning at daybreak they
effected their entrance into the city. A frightful
scene of carnage ensued Nearly the whole of
the garrison numbering $4,000 souls, were sub
jected to massacre The head of General Cor
don was cut off and carried in barbaric triumph
and exultation to the Mahdi himself, who re-
ceived the CHASTITY prize with eager satisfaction.
Toward evening of this memorable day spies re-
ported that vessels bearing soldiers and provis-
ions were coming from the north. But this re-
lief was too late. The city had fallen. Its brave
defenders were dead, and the head of its devoted
leader was the CORY possession of the rebel chief
The sergeant says that if the English had
arrived only few hours earlier they would have
been able to save the town.

The Senate on fsOffensive Partisanship." "

Special to the Boston Journal.
There were two points on which the Repub-
lican senator's were practically agreed, and as to
which, from statements which some of the more
prominent of them have made since the adjourn
ment it is clear that they likely to be unit.
These points were first, that internal revenue
collectors and other officers who do not hold
their commissions for fixed term, and who
have not served the ordinary length of time, say
four years, are not to be arbitrarily removed
merely to make places for Democrats, without
the assignment of adequate cause. This
issue arose In connection with the in
ternal revenue collectors lin West Vir
ginia- The second point was that when it
was proposea to remove experienced consuls oc
cupying places where large commercial interests
are involved, the Senate would carefully consider
whether the persons selected to succeed such
officers were competent and possessed the neces-
sary commercial and other qualifications Ex-
pressions Of opinion have recently been made as
to this last point by number of Republican sena
tors, which would seem TO indicate that some of
the gentlemen who have accepted commissions as
consuls without being confirmed will be in dan
ger OF retraction. 1t has now been suggested
that where a Republican official has been re
moved on the charge of offensive partisanship,
the administration shall make it clear that the
person to be appointed to fill a vacancy so ere
ated is not also an offensive partisan.
