of the heavy blow dealt the Company on
the lastday of August, by the death of
it's President through railroad accident.
is evidence of the spirit of determination
pervading its Agents, and is, moreover, a
practical intimation on their part of their
intention to turn to the Company's best
advantage the object lesson so painfully
afforded, and which, above all, SO vivid
ly portrayed the uncertainty of life and
the consequent imperative need for In
surance Protection.

hours were consumed in the debate on
the 3 per cent bond issue amendment
to the sundry civil appropriations bill

to and the bill went over without final
action. In the house consideration
of the post Office appropriation bill pro-
crossed quietly until the item of $780,
600 for special facilities ON the trunk

proceeding to pay tribute of respect to
the memory of Representative John C.
Warwick. of Ohio.
On the 18th, Senator Stewart sub
mitted an exhaustive report from the
senate committee CT mines and mining

gold and silver. The conclusions
drawn are that the cost of produc-
ton of silver and gold is about
equal to the established ratio of % $40
grains of gold to 412 1-2 grains of silver
and that in both cases the cost of pro-
duction, making account of all legit-
mate Investments, is much greater
than the coinage value. ,

cashire, England. who had been idle
for months, agreed, on the 18th, to ac-
cepta 21-per-cent. reduction in their
wages. The master cotton-spinners

duction. The strike, it will be recalled,
was against one of the masters reduc-
ing wages per cent

lected.
