LOSSES TO SHIPPING.
Recent Storm ON Atlantic VIII Entail
Damages of Over n Million
Dollars.

New York, Dec. 1.-The marine un-
derwriters of this city say that the
losses sustained by the companies as
the result of the storm beginning last
Saturday will probably amount in the
aggregate to something more than
$1,000 900. Owing to the lack of SUI
ficient data of trustworthy charac.
ter it will be some days before def
mite statement of the full extent of the
losses can be made. There will be, in
all likelihood, large amount of sal
wage realized from the wrecks. Most
Of the vessels carrying insurance were
covered to the full amount of their
value, though some of the smaller craft
known to have been lost were unin-
sured. The premium charges for the
different vessels upon which insurance
will be paid varies considerably, but
they were not in any case abnormally
high, for this season of the year. There
is yet no truth in the report that it
las been decided to increase rates as
result of the losses for the last few
years. When, however, the full eff
feet of the storm upon marine risks
shall have been ascertained, the whole
matter of rates may come up before
the American Institute of Marine I'm
derwriters.

entire estate, which has value Of

s'Too much cannot be said of the patriot
ism displayed by q majority OF the mem

Lieut.. Switzerland says that the classes
Of naval militia should be enrolled for five
years. and in such classes should be in
cluded those who have served In the pres
ent war and all others who are connected
with sea service, and not in the regular
naval establishment These classes should
take an annual course of instruction and
drill. The enrolment of the new organi-
cation could be conducted by the OFF,
GERS of the naval militia who served In the
Spanish war. A naval officer should be
detailed to conduct the drill of the ships
companies. Officers should be commits

Cost of a Naval Reserve.
The estimate of the cost Of naval re-
serve is placed at $40 per man. Upon the
breaking out Of war the entire naval
reserve would be Immediately available
In the case Of the last war many in the
state organizations were rejected after 9

avoided by proper enrolment of the

also apply to the officers. petty oficers and

Need of National Naval Reserve.


''The experience Of this short war has
clearly demonstrated the imperative neces-
sity for the maintenance of national
naval reserve, in the organization Of which
too much reliance must not be placed
upon the merchant marine alone. This
experience has shown that considerable
part of the merchant marine will be drawn
into the service Of the army in transport
duty, which, of course, materially reduces
the class from which the navy would hope
to get its enlisted men.
although these organizations, many Of
whose members were recruited outside the
seafaring class, failed to fully meet the
requirements Of the case. they were all
upon which the general government had
to draw at the beginning Of the war. A
majority of these, through cooperation on
the part of the governors of their states.
answered the call of the government and
were mustered into the service for duty
on cruising ships, in the United States
auxiliary naval force, and in the coast sig
nal service. The navy department was
hampered in its efforts at rapid mobiliza-
ton by it's lack of federal jurisdiction over
these organizations, but in the end succeed

thermore that his colleague, A. S. T..
Shields, had an important case in the

obliged to conduct this trial alone,
