/ ums We believe this policy has been
beneficial in its results, as the collections
have been highly satisfactory and the
quality of the New Insurance written
has been of the very best
The present Officers of the Company
assumed control of it's affairs in
November. 1898, in the midst of the
financial panic which commenced in
that year. Liquidation and commercial
depression have continued without in
terruption to the present time These
conditions which have prevailed have
given this country a real object lesson
of what the expression hard times
signifies. An interval of business par
alysis like the last three years would
hardly be selected voluntarily by an
ambitious management as a fair or
average period in which to make a
record for comparison with other years.
The Policy Holders of this Company
have each had personal experience
since 1898 such as will cause them to
remember and recognize the obstacles
that have been so difficult to overcome
in order to prevent an actual shrink
age in the capital of financial and COM
mercial corporations. and we believe
they will be satisfied with the knowl-
edge that since 1893 this Company has
increased its Assets S5S6,014, it's Surplus
S27S .055.23. and it's annual Premium In

GUATEMALA IN A BAD WAY.
Financial and Political Troubles Beset the
Republic-Many Heavy Failures

Financial and Political Troubles Beset the
Republic-Many Heavy Failures.
San Francisco, September 9.-News
just received from Guatemala is to the
effect that the country is in bad way
financially and politically. During last
month the following failures were re-
ported: FREDERICK Chacon, $500, 900:
Lorenzo Essen, s1,700,000; Enrique
Mentze, $1,000, 900; Ascoli & Co. ST.
100000; Bauer G. Co, 100000; Victor
Matthews, 100000. Total, $1,000
600.
All Of these houses have been extern
sively engaged in the expectation OF
coffee and other Central American pro-
ducts and importation of merchandise
Besides, a great number OF firms have
gone under for less amounts. The to-
tai is nearly $4,000 900 but is a trifle
misleading, however, because 1t repre-
sents Central American money. which
is very much deprecated in value.
Reina Barrios, the man who was
president, and who declared himself
dictator Of the republic a couple OF
months ago, Is excessively unpopular,
because of his recent high handed ac-
ton and his cruelties There is a de-
mand that Prosper Morales, a lawyer
and former minister Of war, be chosen
to succeed Barrios.
To prevent this Barrios intends CALL
ing a session Of the assembly very soon
in order to have himself confirmed az
dictator. II he is successful war Is al
most certain, because the country will
not longer submit to his oppression.
IL he is defeated war Is just az sure,
because he cannot afford to be driven
out OF Office. Ex-President BaTillos,
who made it possible for Barrios 70 sue
coed him. has declared he will never
again draw his sword excepting 10
fight Morales. who has threatened 10
expose his financial operations.
Barrios Is alleged 10 have killed
number OF the more prominent citi-
zens OF his country because be thought
they were not in sympathy with him.
Besides these, 243 men Of lesser prom
inenc. are said to have been slain By
his order

]. r. Willard, senior member Of the
firm, has been member of the Con-
solidated Exchange since September 90,
1895. He had represented the firm in
Chicago and had branch office in that
city up to a few months ago, when it
closed and the business was taken
over by John Dickinson & Co. Ell
mer Dwiggins was the working head
Of the firm. He made application to
be admitted to membership in the
Consolidated Exchange on July 81, but
was not admitted. Elmer and Jay
Dwiggins, who are brothers, are
nephews Of Zimri Dwiggins, who
founded a large system of country
banks in Illinois, Indiana and other
Western States, most of which failed
in the panic of 1898.
''The cause of the failure" said AS
s1gnee Starbuck, lis simply that the
firm has been upon the wrong side of
the market. They have been short on
stock and grain. The firm has done a
big business on the Consolidated Ex-
change within sixty days, having run
as high as 5000 to 10000 shares Of
