Rates.
New YoRK, May 18.-The twenty-sev-
enth annual meeting of the National
Board OF Underwriters was held this
morning. President D. w. O. Skilton of
the Phoenix Fire Insurance company Of
Hartford, o.. occupied the chair and de-
livered the annual address. The presi-
dent declared, in view Of the experiences
of last year, that he was convinced Of
the necessity of an increase in the aver
age rate OF Insurance..
The executive committees report
viewed with concern the vast increase of
fire losses in the country in 1892. 1t es-
timated at S151, ,516 ,098, the increase over
1891, when the fire loss was unprece-
dented. Losses since January, 1898,
have gone on at the same rapid pace.
In connection with the report. mem
bers Of the board said they feared incen-
diarism was on the increase, and the
arson committee moved that its powers
be SO extended that it could increase the
offers of reward for the arrest and con-
viction of incendiaries.

is with her on the steamer. Her suite
consists OF the duke of Tamanes, cham
berlain to the infsnta, and two ladies in
waiting.
The steamer bearing the princess was
not expected until some time tomorrow,
but it made an exceptionally quick trip
and was signted off Long Branch this
afternoon. The bar was reached at 7 :05
D. M, where the vessel anchored for the
night.
A tug, having on board representa-
tive of the Associated Press, boarded
the Maria Christina shortly after
10 O'Clock tonight. Ricardo Busta-
maute, secretary to the infsnta, re-
ceived the correspondent. He said
the trip from Havana was a most pleas
ant one. Beyond fatigue the infanta
suffered but little inconvenience. The
princess was too tired to see the reporter,
but she received Commander de la Vaga
OF the Infansa Isabel, and conversed

not occur, and the Spanish vessel will
have the honor OF carrying the royal

BY the Associated Press.J
WASHINGTON, May 18.-The mandate
of the supreme court of the United
States to the circuit court for the south
ern district Of New York, affirming the
decision OF that court in the exclusion
cases, was transmitted yesterday. This
disposes of the matter finally, unless the
case again comes before the court on a
new question. Present indications point
strongly to the assumption that copy
of the majority opinion of the court will
certainly be forwarded to the Chinese
government through diplomatic chan
nels before any extended system of hos
tile action under the law will be insug-
urated. The probabilities seem to favor
prolonged status quo on the Chinese
exclusion question.
GRESHAM AND THE CHINESE MINISTER.
An authentic statement has been OBJ.
tanned as to the interview between
Secretary Gresham and the Chinese
minister at the state department We'd
nesday last. The interview was entirely
devoid of tone and feature or any sug-
gestion OF sensationalism. Nothing
whatever was said by the minister con-
cerning any possibility that the Chinese
legation in Washington would be with
drawn ae the result OF the enforcement
OF the law, and 1t can be stated on the
authority OF Secretary Gresham that he
has not received any intimation from
any source that any such proceedings
are contemplated. During the interview
the Chinese minister assured the secre-
tary that he believed the Chinese gov.
ernment would not resort TO any re-
talistory measures, and that there
would be nothing done by
his government that would disturb the
present friendly relations between tbs
United States and China. The minister
was OF the opinion thatn trouble would
result from the law. The interview was
pleasant throughout and lasted about 20
minutes.
