The New York Proceedings.
BD 13s Associated Pres,

ALBANY, Sept. 4.-Superintendent of
Insurance james p. Pierce has reported
the Commercial Alliance Lille Insurance
Company OF New York to the Attorney
General. This action was taken as the re-
suit OF an inquiry into its affairs
which was made under Supt. Pierce's
direction. superintendent Pierce has
been unable TO take final action in the
matter OF this company before owing to
the fact that a revaluation OF the COM
pany's policies had TO be made some time
subsequent TO June 30, ana a further de-
lay was caused by the fact that before
action could be taken i'm the premises the
company, under the statutes, was entitled
TO hearing.
This hearing has only recently been had
and upon tie strength of IL, and the cor
poration's inability to make good the de-
fciency found, the superintendent's ac-
ton as stated above. became a necessity.
The Commercial Alliance was ineorpor-
ated In 1858, under the name of the Com
merclal Union Life Insurance Company.
Its capital stock was S150,0)0. Snbse-
quenty that was increased to 100000.
The examination shows this capital to
be entirely wiped out and further def
cheney of 5000 10 exist in the comuany's
assets. The deficiency is set forth as fol-
lows: Total admitted assets, s273, 1896. so:
total liabilities on policy holders accounts
S350,512. Deficiency as regarded policy
holders, s76115.iO.
THE NEWS dispatch from New York
says: The officials of the Commercial
Alliance Life Insurance Company of this
city, were very reticent when seen this
morning at the company's office in the
Postal Telegraph Building, regarding the
report of superintendent of Insurance
James p. Pierce to the Attorney General,
suggesting the necessity of bringing pro-
ceedings to wind up the affairs of the
company.
OF an examination OF the company's
by two of his examiners as far
back as the early part of July
1t is able fact that this is the first
reported as deficient to tine
attorney-general OF this State in almost
eight years. Reports of the company's
financial difficulties caused no surprise in
insurance circles in this city, where it Is
known by many that the company was
staggering under a heavy load.
The officials OF the company are all well
know men and the "associate trusteesn
include men of such prominence az
Benjamin Tracy, ex-secretary of he navy;
ex-Governor Daniel +. Davis and Joseph
III. Menley OF Maine, Charles X. Adams.
eX-president of Cornell College; p.
r. Studehaker, treasurer Of the
large wagon manufacturing concern
Of that name and many Others equally well
known. In the absence of President Il.
a. Dunham, Vice President William n.
Pierce was seen this morning. He adj
mitted that figures submitted to the At
Iorney-General by superintendent Pierce
are substantially correct.

BIZ TAe Associated Fret,

New HAVEN, Sept. 1.-THE 23d annual
report of n. ", n. II. & III. II. II. directors
was issued today. II is for the twelve
months from July 1. 1893 20 June 30, 1894,
inclusive. During that time the total
gross earnings were as, 576, ,SS4.6O, and
operating expenses sl7.932, ,7O9.4S, leaving
income from operation S7,64l, ,17o.12.
Incomes from other sources-dividends
interests, etc., 500, ,asO.s7, making the
total Income of year S7,753, $3.50 The
deductions from income include taxes,
interest on funded debt ON subscriptions.
etc., amounting to S5,S79, ,97s.o4, leaving a
net income applicable to dividends of

amount of s3, ,63i 1870, which shows de-
felt for the twelve months OF =, ,257. .6l455.
These figures represent the business of all
the railroads operated by the company and
show loss in revenue as compared with
the gross revenue OF the year ending June
80, 1898, of nearly eight per cent. (s2,1s2.-
OS3.2O). This shrinkage, the report states,
is entirely chargeable to the general
business depression

"Tbe action OF the Insurance depart
ment, said Mr.. Pierce, twill of course do
us n great deal of harm, but we trust tho
effect Will only be temporary. We viii
prove ourselves equal to the emergency,
however, and come out of il all with iy-
ing coIors. The company could not be
wound up at this time without serious
loss TO policy holders and stock hold
ers. But we have no uneasiness
ON that quarter. The company Is perfectly
solvent, and Will pay one hundred cents
on every dollar il owes. Why we have
written over 100000 Worth OF new busi-
ness within the last six month which
every one will admit Is good showing i'm
these hard times. We don't want re-
coiver appointed and will do all we can to
prevent such steps being taken"

ST. LOUIS, April 4.-General Frye's army
of unemployed workmen arrived at Jeffer-

in the railroad yards at Ivory Station.
The army presented a picturesque sight as

wrapped in blankets to ward off the cold.
There were 13 cars in the train. some load

ESCORTED IN WITH BRASS BANDS.
The General Has Decided to Continue His
Trip Through Washington and Into the
South-GeneraI Frye's Big Army Gets
Far as st. Louis-Coast Division Starts.

PITTSBURG, April THE commonweal
army has arrived. At Lower Allegheny it
was met with bands by the Iron holders
union. pattern makers, boilermakers bak-
ers and other labor organizations and a
large crowd of people. Wien the city line
was reached, a halt was taken for lunch.
and then the army marched to Exposition
park, where it went into camp for two days.
Long before the arrival of the common
veal the streets in the vicinity of Wood S
run We're packed with people. Director
Murphy of the department of public safety
became alarmed as the crowd was wrought
up to high tension of excitement, and re
fused to allow the army to come into the
city by that route
A change was then ma lie, and CoXey and
his followers marched in over the Brighton
road. Many houses were decorated, and
along the route to the parks the army was
greeted with cheers by the crowds who
thronged the sidewalks. A feature of the
parade was 100 bicyclists carrying banners
inscribed "CoXey's Brigade"
1t has been ascertained that CoXey and Il
large numbe of his followers have decided
to take trip through the southern states
as soon as his mission to Washington is
fulfilled. This decision was arrived mt n
day or so ago, and the trip will be made
with a view of converting as many south
ern people as possible to the ideas advanc
ed by Coxey. AS at present figured out
by CoXey it will require the best part of
two months for his army to go to Wash
ington and see the Coxey measures acted
upon by congress.
Then the army, or as much of it as re-
mains intact, will make a trip through
Virginia and North and South Carolina
being joined in the latter state by Frye's
band of Texas CoXeyites. The scheme is
to win the southern farmers over to the
CoXey- Browne Smith ideas. When this Is
completed. the task of the reformers will
be fulfilled, and the army will disband.
