INSURANCE IN MAINE AND YER
MONT
From the Brattleboro Reformer

" rom lllt I'lOllltDpIO lelOrmcI.)
The Maine insurance commissioners have
made themselves OF some use in resisting
the advance of rates which the companies
have imposed on that State as well as
Vermont, and the result is that the COM
panies have agreed to a reduction of 10 per
cent from what they first ordered. The
advance was first on farm property, fol-
lowed, we suppose as it has been in this
state by a general rerating of village
property. and the dispatches would indi-
cate that the reduction applies to all. In
Vermont a sweeping advance was made
on farm property about a year ago, but
the companies have voluntarily receded
from it to the extent of about 20 per cent
on the average, though the practical ben
eft is small because very few of the com
panies will write on farm property at all,
because of the extreme unprofitablenes
of that class of risks, and two thirds of
these policies are going into the Mutuals.
But the advance on village property, which
is on the point of going into effect in Yer
mont, seems to be without hope of mitiga-
ton, at least until the fire insurance bust
ness generally comes to be done on a more
rational basis.

KANSAS CITY, July 2S.-Kansas
City and vicinity was visited about
4:3O a. m. by the worst rain and light
ming storm in the history of the wea-
Their bureau. The rain that fell in
Kansas City, Mo, was 4.57 inches,
the heaviest on record. No damage
was done on the Missouri side, but
across the linein Kansas great damage
was done 10 private and public prop
erty. Street pavements were washed
out like SO much kindling WOOD; side
walks were carried away, small wood
sheds and outhoUses were hurled to
the creek bottoms and destroyed, and
the homes of a number of people were
flooded, running their furniture. The
greatest amount of damage was done
in the vicinity of Twelfth street ard
the L. road. At that point the cul-
vert which crossed Jersey creek caved
in and the water banked up as high
as twenty-five feet.
The home OF William Smith, which
sets upon a mound fully twenty-three
feet from the creek bottom, was food
ed and his furniture ruined. The
homes OF William Shaw and John
OdIO, WHICH are Oily d SilOI L ulSt&ilCc
from the Smith residence, WEI EOod1d
and part of the furniture washed
away. What furniture remained in
the houses was covered with mud. At
Thirteenth street and Jersey creek
small buildings were washed away
and carried down the creek several
blocks.
The pavement at Thirteenth and
Waverly avenue was completely
washed out, making .. ditch eight feet
deep and extended from one side to
the other The sewer at Thirteenth and
Freeman caved in, making q big hole
in the center c: the street. While
much damage was done to private
property the city at large suffered the
grea test loss. The damage done to
streets alone will reach up in the
thousands of dollars. It is safe to say
that not an entire street in the city
which is paved with cedar escaped
without damage. About 100 feet of
cedar paving was washed out OF oak
land avenue, near Fifth street.
Many of the block pavements were
swept into the Missouri by the water
which flowed down the streets, max
ing them look like rivers. Street car
traffic was badly crippled. In Armour
dale and Argentine, Kan, much dam
age was done TO private and public
property, because of the lowness of the
ground in most parts of the city. In
the west end and along Twelfth street,
in Armourdale, the tracks of the Met
ropolitan street car line was covered
with water for three or four blocks
during the early part of the day. In
the southern part of the city, many
were flooded with water, mud
and trash. The Metropolitan cars
were unable to run during a part of
the day between Armourdale and Ar
gentine.
In the bottoms Of Argentine, travel
IF all sorts was suspended nearly ali
lay, by an accumul2 ton OF snud and
-efuse washed down the hills, and
which was piled up along the streets.
The macadam recently put down was
washed out nearly the entire length of
he street. Macadam in other parts of
he city was also washed Eut. OBJ

VOWED in the hostile movement. Agent
Ieter, OF tie Fort Hall reservat ton, is

mander TO Aarysvale. The companies
OF the Eighth infantry Will reach Mar

The statements that the Indians on

present movement is regarded by the
officers of the army as very important
fhe Shoshones are under the direction
CT the agent at the former reservation
and the Utes under the agent at the
latter, so it is felt here that there will
be no trouble experienced from them
This condition Of affairs, it is believed
here. makes the situation much easier
to handle. for with but one tribe of In
dams TO deal with the uprising can be
much more easily suppressed. There
are now four troops of cavalry on
their way 10 Marysvale and five more
will reach Market Lake tomorrow,
which makes the available force all, it
is hoped. that will be necessary TO quell
the disturbances.

PHILADELPHIA, July 28.-The Press
will publish the following tomorrow:
BY Tuesday or Wednesday O. this week
there will be in Cuban waters the largest
expedition from this country that has yet
left. II will be under the command Of
Colonel Ensique Collazo, who arrived in
this country about July 6, and since that
time has been preparing for this eXpedi-
ton. The ship is fitted out as a war
vessel and is capable of d speed of seven
teen knots an hour and has made nine
teen. About ten days ago trial trip
was made off Sandy Hook. She was at
once accepted and the money paid over.
Clearance papers were obtained and the
vessel put out 10 sea. A contingent OF
about twenty-five loyal Cubans. skilled as
shipwrights and experienced men of war.
were shipped on another vessel and trans
ferred to her on the high seas. Rapid
firing four and six-inch guns were pur-
chased and these, with two Calling guns
were sent out to The same vessel, and by
the time the boat reaches CuDan waters
she Will have a formidable battery IN
position.
what is needed more than anything
else by the insurgents is said to be aboard
this vessel There is said to have been
loaded from this city 5000 Remington RI
fies and $1,000 rounds of ammunition. Tho
rifles and ammunition are said TO have
been shipped TO this city by the manu-
facturerS, or rather TO point near this
city, and loaded on vessels at points down
the river and bay. They were then car
ried out to the high seas and there trans
ferred to the vessel purchased by the in
surgentS Everything was completed for
sailing on Saturday night and the vessel
is now believed to be on its way to Cuba
There is but one Cuban in the party.
Among those who are enrolled is for
mer officer of the United States navy and
officer of the national guard and four or
five men who served throughout the late
civil war. The names OF these people wilj
not be made known until the vessel lands
its men on Cuban soil. For obvious rea-
sons the name of the vessel has also been
kept quiet. AS soon as the Cubans are
recognized as beliigerentS by some for
eign government the vessel will be pur-
chased by the insurgents. When this is
done the Cuban flag will be raised on her
and she will be named in all probability
the president Marti," in honor of the
late leader of the insurgents. This recog-
milton is expected from South American
republic in very few DAYS.
The first steps toward this will be taken
in a day or so if it has not already been
taken. 1t is the purpose of those on the
island to set up provisional government
at Manzanillo or Bayamo or ZONE other
point in a day or so. If the advices re-
ceived by the local CubaRs to the effect
that General Martinez de Campos is now
practically a prisoner in Bayamo are cor
rect, the new government will in all pro-
liability be set up at that point.

NEW YORK. July 2S-Tha police
made a supreme effort to enforce the
excise law here today, and to all ap-
pearances they realized their expecta-

Now and then it was possible TO see
a person walking Trough the street
with what had the appearance of being
a pail or other receptacle hidden away

As Result, Impeachment Proceed

OMAHA, July Ex-Governor Holcolnb
has asked Police Commissioner Stricken
TO resign, but he refused 10 do so and
Impeachment proceedings have been COM
menced against him. 1t is charged that

discipline and efficiency of the police de-
partment OF the city, well knowing the
facts of the malfeasa in Office of Ser
geant Henry D. Haze, chief of detectives.
seconded and aided and promoted Haze
and persistently labored for his retention
and promotion in the police force. Haze
was finally dismissed for a number OF
questionable transactions. The charges
further allege that on the 24th day OF
June the board OF police commissioners
appointed Martin j. White, of Chicago to
the position of chief of police and that
knowing that the action of the board
in the premises, Strickler at divers times,
after he had entered upon the duties of
