ing the past year: Imports from Brit
ish West Indies, $14, $50, 600; imports

the following statement on the
subject: For the past three or four
weeks negotiations have been in prog
ress between the Department of State
and the British legation, assisted by
commissioners from Jamaica, Barba-
does, British Guiana and other colonies,
with view to reciprocity arrange
ment between the United States

The last of the commissioners, those
from Jamaica, have left the city and a
satisfactory arrangement has been
agreed upon, to embrace Jamaica, Bar
BADGES, the Windward and Leevard
islands, Trinidad and British Guiana.
In return for the continued free entry
in reduction of sugar and coffee into the
United States, it has been agreed by
the colonies named, not only to greatly
enlarge the free list of their tariffs, but
also to make very considerable reduc-
tons in the duty on the leading agri-
cultural and other products of the Unit

Insurance Transferred,

At New York, on the 10Th, Philander
B. Armstrong gave dinner to seventy
insurance men, to celebrate a surprise
he had for them, which was that
he had reinsured the business of
the Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany, the Fire Association and the
Armstrong Fire Insurance Company, of
which he was the head, in the Lanca-
shire Insurance Company, of Manches-
ter, Eng, few hours before. In the
speech of which Mr.. Armstrong told of
the transactions of the day, he said that
Cit was the largest transaction in the
American history of fire underwriting,
the business OF the three companies
which had been reinsured, aggregating
100000 900. The reserve, amounting
to about S1,000,000," he added, 'has
been paid in cash to the Lancashire"

Chicago Underwriters Adopt a Prohib-
itOrY Tariff.


itory Tariff.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. l8.-The Chicago
Fire Underwriters Association has put
its seal of condemnation on sky-scraping
buildings, by passing resolution in ia
vor of limiting the height of structures
to not more than one and onehalf times
the width of the street upon which
such buildings may be constructed.
On streets of more than 66 feet
in width the height Of such non-com-
bustible buildings is limited to 120 feet
from the street level to the highest
point of the roof. All buildings of 9TH
er than fre-proof construction shall be
limited to So feet from the street level
20 the highest point of the roof.
Nc building except office build
ings, whether fre-proof or otherwise,
will be allowsd to exceed So feet in
height from the street level to the high
est point of the roof. A rate of So. is
demanded on structures exceeding the
above limits. This is practically pro-
hibltive, as it is doubtful ii any high
building in Chicago could pay the rate
and still earn dividends.

ON A PIRATICAL CRUISE.
A Little Steamer Robs Many villages on
the Behring Sea Coast.

the BehriDg Sea Coast.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec. 21.-Wben
the little steamer Hattie Gage reaches
here next Wednesday from Sitka it will
be plastered deep with libels. The men
on board Of it seem to have been
carrying on piratical cruise in the Arc
tic, and are not only guilty Of mutiny,
but have robbed mine, a church and
a supply depot of the Alaska CONNER
cial Company It sailed from here last
June, in command Of Capt. Downs, for
Coal Harbor. On board were two men
named Tibbey as passengers. The first
row occurred at Victoria, where the
Tibbeys wished to smuggle aboard
liquor. At Coal Harbor the lib
beys proposed a sailing cruise in Beh-
ring Sea. They inveigled Capt. Downs
ashore and abandoned him. Then,
with Mate Andrews in charge, they
sailed away for adventures. They
stopped at the deserted village of Mich
olask in Alaska, and robbed the Greek
Church altar While on the Behring Sea
they did not find single seal, and the
second day the Alert warned them out.
They then visited the gold mine at Lit
tie Squaw Harbor, and took material
and lumber worth 81 200. Among the
plumber was a railroad for carrying ore,
which they took to Coal Har
Dor and set up. A fortnight
after they raided the Alaska
Commercial Co.'s storehouse at Port
age Bay, taking provisions and hard
ware. The Gage was seized at Sand
Point by the cutter Corwin and taken
to Sitka, where it was released. The
captain and five of the crew are here
and will libel the vessel for wages while
George w. Sessions, owner of the mine
at Little Suuaw Harbor will also libel it.

CHICAGO BANDITS.
Mail Wagon Ee1d Up and Robbed in Wild
Western style.


Western style.
A Chicago dispatch of the 18th tells
the story: Jesse James exploits we're
outdone tonight in Chicago. On one
of the leading thoroughfares five
daring highwaymen suddenly sur
rounded one of Uncle Sans big
gest mail wagons, and at revolver
point forced the postal employees to
throw out several sacks. The bulky
government ven1cle was then sent fly
ing on it's journey, the occupants being
threatened with instant death if they
made outcry or stopped. SO complete
was the surprise effected by the ban
dts that the maildrivers failed to
utilize the services of a large bull dog
which was beside them on their seat.
Near midnight the stolen mail sacks,
split open and rifed of their contents,
were found on Superior Street, in the
north division Of the city, fully three
miles from the scene of the robbery.
At that hour every available man OF the
city detective force and the post-office
inspectors staff were stTaining every
nerve to obtain a clue to the identity Of
the highwaymen or their whereabouts
The wagon was on its way to the
main post-office with mail from the stock
yards and southwest stations. 1t was
in charge of John Creighton, an expert
enced driver, who, after collecting his
valuable freight, drove down Blue Island
Avenue to Halsted Street, then turned
east on Mather Street. He was half
way to Desplaines Street when five men
sprang from the sidewalk. One seized
the horses by the reins, while the others
covered Creighton with revolvers and
commanded him to keep quiet. The
team was then led to the alley extending
north from Mather Street, and there,
while one of the men covered Creighton
with a revolver, the others forced open
the door of the wagon and hastily Sc
lecting the registered pouches from the
others, made off through the alley.
Creighton's guard kept the captive COW
cred for five minutes and then left him.
AS nearly as can be estimated the
robbers secured in the neighborhood of
$4,000 in currency and about 100000
worth of non-negotiable paper sent by
the Drovers' and Stock Yards National
banks to their correspondents. The
latter item will be of little use to the
bandits, but will cause an endless
amount of trouble and confusion in the
financial circles involved.

Plenty of SNOW.

A Denver dispatch Of the 10Th says:
"The snow storm which swept over a
portion of the Rocky Mountain regions
yesterday extended from Central wy
oming to New Mexico. A hurricane
accompanied the snow, and in many To-
calities did much damage, especially at
Pueblo and along the divide The
snow in Denver did not fall more than
three or four inches deep. On the
divide it drifted in great banks from
eight to ten feet high and prevented
traffic of al kinds. Over Northern
New Mexico the snow is reported in
some places to be in drifts eighteen feet
high. Stock has not yet suffered from

WASHINGTON, D. c. Dec. 19.-The
President and the secretary of state
have had several consultations recently
in regard to the seal fisheries. An
agreement having been reached with
the British government as to the basis
of arbitration, all that now remains to
complete the convention is an agree
ment as to the arbitrators. This, too,
has practically been done so far as the
numbers and powers of the arbitrators
are concerned. 1t is confdentially ex-

NEWS FROM CHILL,
Trouble Over the Refugees in the Ameri-
can Legation.

A special from Washington says that
a translation has been secured of a
cipher dispatch from Minister Egan to
the State Department, in which
Minister Egan stated that q
critical state of affairs existed
in Santiago. The dispatch states that
the American legation is surrounded by
police and a mob, and threats are free
ly made to blow it up or burn it on &C
count of the refugees there. Copies OF
the cablegrams, the correspondent
says, have been sent to the
President and to the Navy De-
partment, and much CONSERVATION
had been created by it's receipt.
The correspondent further says that q
cablegram had been prepared to be
sent to Mr.. Eagan, asking him to make
report on the situation. 1t is be-
ieved at the Navy Department, the
correspondent says, that the state OF
affairs around the legation would
not exist if proper police protection was
given. If the situation is as grave as re-
ported the naval officials think that
nothing but force can get the refugees
out of the legation. The effect of Mr..
Egan's dispatch, it is though, will
result in demand by Secretary Blaine
for a prompt decision in the Baltimore
case. If this is unfavorable Congress will
be called upon to act In the meantime
if further hostile demonstrations are
made an pltimatum will be sent the
CHILEAN government, and the navy will
back it uD

He Used a CoupIIng-Pin.

A most daring diamond robbery was
committed at William Wilson'S jewelry
store on Fourth Avenue. Pittsburg, on
the 18th. Mr.. Wilson and his sister
were preparing to close the
store for the night when
an unknown man threw coupling-pin
through the window. Mr.. Wilson
rushed to the door, but found that it
had been fastened from the outside.
Before he got it open the thief seized a
tray of diamonds valued at $4,000 and
made off with it. The street was crowd
ed at the time, and number of persons
saw the robbery, but were unable to
identify the robber.

court Decision That Affects Plans of the
Meat Packers.

Meat Packers.
CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 19.-The news was
received here yesterday that the su-
preme court of New Jersey had rem
dered decision sustaining the action
of the directors of the Union Stock
Yards Company of this city in granting
certain concessions to the big packers,
Armour, Swift and Morris, in return for
which the latter agreed to remain
where they are, instead of moving to
Talleston, as they were preparing to do.
The company being incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey, the suit was
brought in New Jersey. The decision
is reached with much satisfaction
by those interested in the company,
as the suit has been hanging over its
affairs for some time.
''This decision settles for once and
all the controversy between the stock
yards and the large packers" said ].
f. Meigher, one of the attorneys for the
Stock Yards company. ''No other
action to prevent this arrangement can
now be taken"
The big packers will now take an
active part in the management of the
stock yards, and will be represented
in the new board to be elected at the
next annual meeting.

liked by the Pope, and now is less in

that his successor will be NJ. de Mouii,

organization be chosen to make the

to q settlement of the difficulty with the
Knights of Labor the convention non

BOMBS IN POLICE STATION,
Clichy, Suburb of Paris, Excited Over
q Dynamite Plot.


PARIS, Dec. 19.-Clichy, a northern
suburb of Paris, was thrown into state
of great excitement to-day by the dis
covery of four bombs in the police sta
ton there. The fuses attached to the
bombs had been ignited, but the fire
had by some means been extinguishod
before reaching the explosives with
which the bombs were filed.
It was at Clichy that SER
ious Socialist disturbances occurred
during the labor demonstration on May
Day. The fact of the finding of these
bombs has caused great alarm in police
and other circles, as it is believed it
shows that persons who came in con-
tact with the police on May Day are de-
termined to seek revenge, and that
some of them placed the bombs where
they were in the hope of demolishing
the station.
