A TALK WITH Mr.. DINoLEY.
Free Ship Bill a Menace to Bath-The
Hawaiian situation.


Bath, November 14.-The Bath Times
tonight prints an interview with Con-
gresham Dingley concerning the Dill
giving American registry free OF duty to
foreign built vessels. Mr.. Dingley said
that there is great danger Of the Demo-
Gratis making party measure OF the bill
which has been reported to the House,
and passing it. The report in favor OF
the bill was signed by every Democrat
on the committee on merchant marine.
Mr.. Dingley added: at is not easy to
exaggerate the damage such law would
do to the country, and especially Bath.
And the measure is particularly unjusti-
fable just now when we have already
started fifteen iron and steel ship build
ing pants, two of them here in Bath"
What of the Hawaiian status, Mr..
Dingey?" was asked.
"Itssis most extraordinary andsI doesn't
understand it. The explanation don't
explain. Even admitting that Mr..
Gresham's contentious as to the formation
OF the present government are correct
and am certain the facts will not bear
him out-our government is still utterly
unjustified in overturning de facto gov
eminent with which we have diplomatic
relations and which has been recognized
by all civilized nations except, perhaps,
England. 1t is an act. Of war, and
that the President has no right to de-
clare without consulting Congress. | am

FRED E. RICHARDS, Pres.

j. FRANK LANG, See'y.

The Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company during the month of October,
1898, wrote A LARGER AMOUNT OF
NEW BUSINESS THAN IN ANY COR
RESPONDING MONTH DURING THE
PASTTWENTY YEARS.
While the New Issues are so rapidly
increasing, it is equally worthy of note
that the. Company's Death-rate shows
not only relative but an actual de-
cline; this factor so all-important in the
transaction of a Life Insurance Business
is of such "a marked character, that
few facts and figures in connection there
with are given.
The Notices of Death received by the
Company from January LIST to October
31st, 1898, amounts to $685. 1926 and when
compared with the corresponding period
Of 1892 shows a very substantial de-
crease. thus les-
list Ten months 1892 = $426,665
LIST Ten months 1898 379,325
Decrease. S 1880
THE EXCELLENT SHOWING IN CON
NECTION WITH THE DECREASED
DEATH RATE CANNOT BE FULLY
APPRECIATED WITHOUT A DUE

From which it will be seen that while
the Insurance in Force during the past
five years has increased Eight Millions
of Dollars, the Amount of the Death
Claims has been reduced, until at the
date Of this writing tits practically the
same as it:was in 1888. nov11eodtf
