The Vermont Life was HOprlessIy In
hnlNemI.


There has been unusual interest among
life insurance underwriters and all others
who are studying the business in the an
nual report of the commissioners of Yer
mont. 1t is just at hand. The relnsur-
ance of the Vermont Life by the Metropol-
itan of New York March /, is the first
topic considered. The report says it was
hopelessly insolvert under the most liber-
al valuation of its reserves. It's capital and
surplus were gone, aud there was beside
deficiency of from S25, 900 to Sis, GOO, as
the basis of valuation may be varied. The
statement of the company Jan. l, showing
a small surplus, was made with fictitious
assets and suppressed liabilities. The di-
rectoIs are exonorated from completely
in these fasehoOds. The commissioners
have always ruled against the valuation of
policies counting the first year as term in
surance, and thus reducing the liability OF
the company, and say they had no kno~l-
edge that the company was doing this I'M
Til its annual report was received.
The report discusses the general ques-
ton of valuation of the first years premium
as term insurance at length, saying its Ell
feet is largely to wipe out the reserve Ia
| bility on new business for year. L. was
found that some half dozen other com
panies were doing business in the state on
! the same basis, which is shown 10 be mad
| missible unfer the statutes.
! The commissioners have no discretion
| but to condemn the practice. They say
| that if the first years premium may be
| counted as term insurance, so may the sec
ond. or the fifth, and a company may thus
| iuggle its legal reserves at Will. IL Is
stated that the commissioners have intor-
nation that contracts counting the first
two wears as term insurance are now on
the market. The report says if the pres
ent legal system of computing reserves is
too severe, the only remedy is in legisla-
ton. based upon the recommendations OF
approved actuaries.

Gases of individual acts OF herolsm are
daily reported in the newspapers, but II Is
not often that au instance as conspicuous
as that performed by Brakeman Evan
Davis, near Shamokin, Pa on Saturday,
il recorded. 1t requires exceptional nerve
for man to jump from the pilot Of NOV
ing locomotive to the track in front on the
chance of being able to pick up child and
leap to safety before being run down. Yet
Davis had the nerve to do this thing, and
took the slender chance He saved the
child but was struck by the engine and
severely injured. Such an absolutely IN IN,
selfish act of heroism seems worthy OF
more than passing notice.

Great apprehension exists at the navy
department as to the fate of the United
States marine guard of 90 men, which was
landed at Tien-Tsin and despatched by rail
to Pekin before the railroad was interrupt
ed. They went forward to Pekin under
an authorization granted by the Chinese
government to the United States minister
at Pekin, in common with other ministers,
to employ a naval guard at the legation.
just before the wires from Pekin we're
cut, word came that Minister Conger had
detached 20 of these marines from his le-
CATION and placed them as guard at the
Methodist compound. This is an inclosure
of some 10 acres, situated nearly a mile
distant from the legation, where many
missionaries and their families, as well as
large number of native Christians, are
believed to have taken refuge.
The Pekin correspondent of the London
Times, in a despatch dated the 14th, by
way of Tien-Tsin the 10Th, says "a seri-
Gus antiforeign outbreak took place last
night, when some of the finest buildings in
the eastern part of the city we're burned,
and hundreds of native Christians and
servants employed by foreigners were mas
sacred within two. miles of the imperial pal
ace. 1t was an anxious night for all for
eigners, who were collected under the pro-
lection of the foreign guards. The boxers
burned the Roman Catholic East cathedral,
the large buildings of the London mission
and the American board of missions and
also all the buildings in the eastern part of
the city occupied by the foreign employees
of the maritime customs If the troops to re
iuforce the foreign guards fail to arrive to-
day, further riots are expected. 1t is be-
lieved that no European has been injured. n
