AtausrA, Feb. is.-fn the Senate this
forenoon Senator Heath called up the bill to
refund the State debt, and offered some sug-
gestions. which seemed so sensible to the
Senate that the bill was recommitted to the

Especial to the Press.l


AUGUSTA, Feb. 13-Insurance Commits
sioner Smith has made up his annual report
of the premiums received and losses paid
and risks written by the insurance compa-
nies operating in Maine during the last year.
1t has been very good year for the compa-
nies, their losses on fire risks reaching but
45.9S per cent of the premiums they have re-
ceived. Ia 1887 the per cent was not quite
so good, being 51.S3; but that was great i'm
provement over the disastrous showing of
1SS6-the year of the Eastport, Pennington
and Boothbay fres-wben the losses actual
ly were more than the premiums, the per
cent being 102. AS regards marine insur-
ance the per cent Of Losses to premiums is "a.
This is more unfavorable showing than for

originally reported; from the agricultural
