Hirber Insurnnce Rates.

New York, Jan. 2S.-It is stated that
a movement is on foot among marine in
surance underwriters to increase the
rates of insurance on vessels and their
cargoes. 1t is said that in some instances
the rates have already been put up. The
explanation given for the advance is
that the companies have lost so heavily
in the past few years that they cannot
afford to take any more such chances.
Insurance men say that another period
like the fall, winter and spring of 1898
90 would prove disastrous.

Use to settle up. The promise was ac-
companied by requests that he be al
lowed ninety days in which to pay the
100000, and that his promise be kept
secret until after the money was paid,
because of the existence OF so many sim.
liar claims in Europe. This govern
ment kept the secret 50 far as the public
were concerned, but those connected
with the missionary organizations which
are to receive the money, were informed
Of the promise and some Of them failed
to keep the secret. Whether the Sultan
will try to use the publication of his
promise as all excuee for further post
ponement Of the payment of these claims
is not known, but this government has
officially informed him that If his
promise was not kept, there would be

Unless the trouble in China Is long
drawn out, the United States will play
a very small military part in its settle
ment. That was made certain when a
conference cf members Of the Cabinet
participated IN by Gen. Otis, decided
that Gen. Macarthur was right in ask
ing that no more troops be taken from
the Philippines, to be sent to China, be.
cause Of the danger that their removal
might be taken advantage Of by the
Filipinos to renew the revolution, and
decided that no more would be ordered
from there. All the advices from Chi
ma Indicate that very large army will
be needed to punish the Chinese, and
even if three months were to be con-
sumed in gathering that army, the L.
S. could not have at the outside more
than six or seven thousand soldiers III
China, if no more are to be taken from
the Philippines. How this will strike
public sentiment in this country will be
better known when the fate of the
Americans who were in Pekin is abso-
iutely known, and not guessed at from
Il thousand conflicting rumors. as at
present, If our citizens have not been
harmed, this country may be willing
that other nations shall do most Of the
fighting in China, but if our citizens
have been murdered, our people are
likely to demand a larger share in the
duty Of avenging them. Although the
War Department has issued orders that
will send all the available regular troops
TO China, at the earliest possible mo-
ment, it seems to be the unJ erstanding
in official circles that Japan is to put a
large army into China at once, and pro,
coed to try and whip the Chinese into
good behavior, and that the other civil
lied nations are to pay for the service
in cash, which China will be made TO
repay when normal conditions are re
stored over there. This sort of arrange.
mcnt sounds more like the sixteenth
than the twentieth century.
