day. The land pageant overtopped even
the colossal welcome when Admiral Dewey
on the day before steamed up the harbor
and anchored Off Riverside.

greatest popular demonstration OF the CEN
fury to q living American. 1t was Won
derful day in many senses OF the word.
The Admiral's day began with "colors."
That is to say, he was up with the sun. His
old habit Of being at places sooner than he
Is looked for continued to arouse comment.
He was at the Battery ahead OF time.
Escorted by Squadron A he arrived at the
City Hall, where he wns expected at nine
O'Clock, Just twenty minutes abe nd OF time.
Here he received the city's five thousand
dollar gold loving cup.

Of affairs, and his views OF the outlook,
concluding with an earnest Recommended
tion that the Brooklyn and some other
vessels be sent at once to the Philippines.
This reinforcement OF the present fleet OF
the Asiatic Squadron, he urged as neces-
sary, and said their dispatch should be
directed as early "a possible.
The President Immediately com NUM-
Gated with the Navy Department and In
structed the Secretary Of the Navy to issue
an order carrying out the AdrniraPs
recommendation and to see that they be
got In readiness at once. The Marietta
anil Machias, besides the Brooklyn, were
designated by the Navy Department along
with several other vessels.
These reinforcements will add consider
able strength to the Aslatic Squadron, and
the Administration believes their presence
will have q material effect In e1pedittng
the end OF the hostilities.
The Brooklyn Is an arnored cruiser or
the first rating, carrying twenty main bat
terry guns and having total displacement
OF S2l5 tons. The Marietta Is composite
gunboat OF 1000 tons displacement and
with mnin battery equipment OF six guns.

CANIIO1' SHARE SURPLUS.
Important Decision Affecting Policy
Holders and Assurance Companies.
Plaintiff Wanted Division Of the Profits
But the Court of Appeals Decided
Against Him.

ALBANY, N. Y. (speciaD.-A unanimou
decision was handed down in the Court OF
Appeals in the matter Of the appeal OF the
Equitable Life Assurance Society from an
order and judgment obtained by Emil
Greeff, the respondent, in the Appellate
Division OF the Supreme Court, in tho
second department. This decision, OF great
interest to polcyhoIders and OF great i'm
portance to NIL companies engaged In the
business OF assuring lives, was written by
Judge Martin, his associates eoncurring.
The litigation arose from the fact that
op July 1, 1892. EMIL Greeff, OF New York,
insured his life in the Equitable Life AS
surance Society In the sum OF 800 900 by
form OF policy styled an endowment, hav-
ing period OF fifteen years to ruo. 1t WAS
an annual dividend policy. On NAV 2,
1897, the policy matured, and the society
pnid over to the assured the sum OF $780,
900 and dividends which accumulated, to
the amount OF s3932. Mr.. Greeff was dis
satisfied with the settlement. declared that
the society was holding back for its own
use part Of Its surplus, and sued for
further dividend Of $7057.
To this complaint the society damurred.

as the statutes provide that all suits in-
volving an accounting must be brought by
or with tha approval OF the Attorney
General, and further, that he cannot win
at law because, first, he is bound by the
terms Of his policy, and, second, by the
statutes.
Judge Martin, examining the complaint
as TO whether 1t states facts sufficient to
constitute cause Of action, says:
1.-THE point to' be determined is whether
the facts stated are sufficient to entitle the
plaintiff to recover In an action at law
upon the policy as an instrument for the
payment OF money, or to recover against
the defendant for breach OF Its contract"
In this examination he says: "By the
terms OF the plaintiffs contract he express:
ly ratified and accepted the principles and
methods which were from time to tyne
adopted by the defendant for the dtstrlbu-
ton OF such surplus. The plaintiffs claim
that the whole surplus should be- dis
trlbuted cannot be sustained II 1t Is In con-
fict with the provisions OF the contract
between the parties without making new
contract for them, which the court will
not do. It Is to be observed that the
agreement vas that the plaintiff should
participate, not In the whole surplus, but
In the distribution OF the surplus, or IN
other words, In the surplus which, accord
ing to its methods and principles, Was to
be distributed"
