TO RECOUP LOSSES.
A Radical Advance OF Rates is Made by
Jn,n,anna

A Radical Advance of Rates is Made by
Insurance Companies.
An increase in insurance rates in the
territory controlled by the Middle Depart.
ment OF Fire Underwriters has been decided
upon by the companies doing business
therein. The new rates will be from to
10 per cent higher than the old ones for the
present. The district affected by this change
comprises all OF New Jersey south OF New
Brunswick; Pennsylvania. outside Of Phila
delphia and Pittsburg, MISUNDERSTANDING
Baltimore City, and the District OF Colum-
bia.
During 1899 the companies in the Eastern
association lost money TO such an extent
that they saw bankruptcy staring them in
the face unless something should be done to
recoup their losses Instructions were is
sued to the Middle Department association
to increase rates tor 1894 from 26 TO IS per
cent This resulted in conference at
which II was explained that IL 50 great a
raise should be made people would become
frightened and The reaction might iniure
the companies. Finally 1t WAS deemed
best iomake the advance in rates only
from TO Is per cent This new schedule
Is now being enforced all over the district.

A dispatch to the Pittsburg Times says;
There have been number OF changes in

hand Of death has been busy among those
who were the choice of the people in No
vember, 1892. Pennsylvania has lost Will
liam Mutcbler, of the Eighth district,
Charles o. Neil Of the Second, and William
Lilly, Congressman at Large. These have
been succeeded by Howard Mutcbler, ex-
State Senator Robert G. Adams and ex'

died since the election and his place is filled
by H. 4. Griffin.
There have been vacancies, too caused

senate and his place Is now taken by DIR.

THE BATTLESHIP INDIANA.
SUCCESSFUL TRIAL TRIP.
No Warship in the World Her Superior
Dimensions of the New
Fighter.

The battleship Indiana, after most snc-
cessful preliminary trial trip returned to
her dock at Cramps ship yard In Philadel-
phin. early Wednesday morning. the ship
was put into sea and given hard run OF
four hours over the course usually chosen by
the Cramps for their builders trials Three
trips were made. The first under natural
draft was accomplished at a speed ofii l1o
Knots, the second under half forced
draught In trhe less than 10 knots and
the third under forced draught at II 35-l00
knots. The guaranteed speed Of the Indiana
is 10 knots. There seems no doubt that the
big battleship will average l6l knots an
hour when the official trial trip Is uade.
The result Of the trio was so far ahead OF
expectations that Edwin Cramp, who has
charge OF the ship, gave orders that she
should return to the yard instead Of taking
q run to sea, customary with ships on q
first trial. Every body aboard was well
pleased with the behavior OF the Indiana
The machinery worked perfectly. The
steamer has no rock and there is no doubt
that she will take her destined place as the
queen Of battle ships Of the world.

Interior Reynolds sent to congress an opin-

struction to be placed on the act of Decem.
Der q, 1898, requiring thirty days notice TO
be given before pensioner Is suspended
The opinion holds that the act applies to
every pension granted by the office, and
makes 1t mandatory duty of the
Commissioner to give thirty days notice
even in cases where fraud is admitted.
Contracts and judgments" says the At.
torney General ARE vested rights, yet pay

even mutual mistake of facts and even
invalid for some iurisdictional defect may
properly be withheld pendente lite. Pro.
ceedings TO collect the money will be re
strained when necessary by an injunction
from the courts. The right to withhold
payments in such cases pending legal
investigation belongsto to the Government ms
well as TO the individual. The withholding
or suspension Of q pension is a continuing
act
1T may occasionally hapren that while

would have Jurisdiction to reopen the case.
His proper course, therefore, would be to
make decision at the close of the thirty

and reinstate the pension, allowing TO the
Pensloner all arrears and inslallments q
which meantime have accrued
