announces that during the year 1899,
just closed. it insured over 100000 per-
sons IN q sum exceeding 202 million dol
lars, which WAS an increase OF 50 million
dollars over any preceding year, and q
net gain OF over ll6 million dollars over

There must be some good reasons for
this phenominal growth aud success. In
the first place il is purely mutual, hav-
ing no stockholders TO sap the profits,
and It writes an absolutely uncondition
policy that is uncomfortable after it has
been issued. II Is the oldest and largest
international insurance COM, any in the
world. it having been recently admitted
into Prussia-the only American com
pany ever admitted there. During the
year lsy9it paid more than IL million

any company aud it clearly indicates
that there are some 81 ecial features,

Berlin. Sept. The unexpected
Copenhagen visit OF the Russian min-
lister OF finance, Witte, made great
sensation in Berlin official5 circles. Ac-
gcording to trustworthy news the mag
net which drew Witte from Paris to
Copenhagen is the dowager empress Of
Russia, living at Copenhagen. The re-
slations between the car ana his
mother, the dowager empress, have be-
come somewhat strained lately and
Whites visit was made to make peace;
between mother and son.
The car needs the influence OF his
mother to put the new Russian loan
on the French market, quite difficult
proceeding, as the official world of.
finance has been angered by the cars
curt refusal to visit Paris during the
exposition time. Frenchmen say that
the car at the time when the Paris
bourse made the last loan to Russia
had promised to visit the exposition.
But White has another reason for
visiting Copenhagen and the dowager
empress of Russia. He wants the good.

against Gen. EUROPA tkin, who has the
ear Of the car in the China expedition.
Witte is against the sending of 50 large
Russian corps to China but kuropat-.

car.
This inside history of Whites Copen-
hagen visit is very interesting and
