INSURANCE CossfsNY RULED OUT.
New YOrlE's superintendent Seems to
Have Made Mistake.

Albany, N. Y, March 13.-The Virginia
Fire and Marine Insurance Company re-
Gently asked State Superintendent Of In
surance Louis r. Payn for a license to
transact business in this state. The New
York law requires that a fire and marine
insurance company shall have at least
100000 capital. The attorney general has
written an opinion holding that the Vir-
ginia company is not entitled to be Ii
censed to do business in this state, as it
has not the required capital.
Inquiry at the state insurance depart
ment respecting the Virginia Fire and
Marine Insurance Company of Richmond,
Va, elected the information that since
the charter of the company had been
passed upon by the attorney general the
company had filed with the department
certified copies and an affidavit fully ex-
planatory of its charter. and showing that
its capital stock is $4,000 fully paid in,
being $50, 900 more than is required under
the insurance laws of this state. These
papers were referred to the attorney gen.
eral to-day with a request that the mat
ter be given further consideration.

next June will be the grandest and larg-
est ever seen in London.
The royal procession itself will proba-
bly, be a mile long and the array of princes
and princesses in 1t will exceed that of the
jubilee show in numbers and gorgeous
ness. Physicians ana courtiers are al
ready shaking their heads and predicting
all sorts of evils as likely to result to the
aged sovereign from. the prodigious strain
such an undertaking viii involve. Va
rious curious and ingenious arrangements
are being made to save her needless IA
tigue, including a specially designed re-
volving spring seat in her carriage by
means of which she will he able to bob
from side to side to the acclaiming multi
tude with a minimum of exertion and
maximum of effect
The members of an enterprising synd-
cate who bought up the house and shop
fronts and windows along the route of the
procession have already made over 100 per
cent. profit, which, however they have
made no attempt to realize yet. The Tele-
graph to-day declares that a well known
millionaire has just offered over 5000 for
the use on Jubilee day of three small win
doWs belonging to a weekly newspaper
with its publishing Office in Ludgate Cir
Gus, which is by nom cans a first class po-
sition, and that the offer was refused.
Mr.. Bayard, after spending a month on
York at the end of April.
A good deal of interest is taken here IN
a long report in the Times of an inter-
view yesterday between Mr.. Smalley ana
Mr.. Sherman, the Secretary of State. 1t
represented that Mr.. Sherman favors the
arbitration treaty, but it is lukewarm re-
garding it's details, and is willing to ac-
cept any form Of treaty. The secTe-
tary declares that he will continue the
Olney policy with regard to Cuba and
Spain. American citizens will be protect
ed by the American government. Those
who, under cover of American nationality,
engage in hostilties against Spain must
accept the consequences of their acts.
These men who are pursuing lawful oc
cupations in a lawful way will be held
entitled to the protection of law
and treaties, and in their be-
half no efforts will be spar
ed should they be seized on suspicion.
There will be no war with Spain" the
interview goes on. 1--WE want none. We
have no reason to believe that Spain wants
war. If Spain would give me a quit-claim
deed to the island of Cuba, / would not
have it," Mr. Sherman said he was op-
posed to all annexation, thinking the
United States big enough already. He re-
PEELED the notion of desiring the annex
alton of Canada, peaceably or otherwise
ut is for the interest of neither. / have
already stated that my views are against
annexation. My dream for the remote
and permanent future of this North Amer
lean continent is three great republics
Canada, the United States and Mexico
but l would not take a step to alter things
as they are What is to come hereafter
must come by natural political evolution"

HIGH WATER AT MEMPHIS.
The Mississippi the Highest Ever
Known There.

Known There.
Memphis, Tenn, March 13.-The AIlssls-
sippi river here now registers a higher
stage of water than ever known. Dis
aster attending this condition began to-
day, two Arkansas towns, across the
river from this city, being submerged,
and the inhabitants driven to safer places.
These are Marion and West Memphis.
The former is under from three to four
feet of water, due to a break of it's pro-
lection levee early this morning. The
break occurred before many Of the inhabi-
tants had left their beds and there
was a scene OF great hustle and excite
ment, but no loss of life. : Live stock
however, is being almost exterminatod,
the highest points in that section being
under water.
This city is, of course, in no danger, as
a whole, owing to its natural protection,
but the bayou extending entirely through
the city, is overlooking from river back
water, and threatening damage to abut-
ting property. From one of the largest
cotton sheds on its banks to-day II be-
came necessary to remove 1900 bales OF
cotton from the waters path. So far as
known, none Of the main levees are
trembling under the pressure of the water,
but they are being guarded all along the
line.
