ILLEGAL INSURANCE.
An Interview With Insurance Commissioner
Young

Insurance Commissioner Young states
that there has come to his Department
during the Dast week several inquiries
from citizens of the State in regard
TO companies who are Offering to write
insurance on property in violation o.
the law.
Two of the companies referred to are
licensed in the State, and policies writ
ten in them by resident agents of the
State would be all right, but it would
not be legal for them to issue policies
through agents located in another
State.
Three of the companies are licensed
by the Insurance Department in their
own States. but are very small COM
panies, having little capital and assets,
and doing comparatively little business,
and with no standing at home.
Five of the companies referred to are
not even licensed by the Departments
in their own States, and have no char
acter or standing, and are not reported
in the insurance tables.
While the citizens of the State should
be careful not to use any companies for
insurance rot licensed by the Depart
and that are not paying taxes in the
State as a matter of State pride and
upholding The laws of their State, yet
| from the above showing it would seem
| to be pretty clear that the protection
of their own interests would keep them
from using these outside companies.
Any company that is safe and worthy
of the confidence of the people of the
State, that desires to do business in
| the State, will enter regularly the
State and comply with its laws. The
| company that will rob the State of its
| taxes may he expected to rob the as
sured whenever they have loss. I'm
! der the laws of this State no suit can
! be maintained in our courts on policy
written in violation of our insurance

and Barry hazed him almost to the verge
OF collapse in 1898. Evans is still in the
Cadet corps while Barry recently was
expelled.
Cadet Spaulding. of Michigan testified
he was an ex-officio member OF the
standing "Scrapping" Committee, being
vice-president of his class. He was ask
ed why cadets did not settle affairs of
honor with the army six shooters. and
witness said the fourth class men then
would be at worse disadvantage than
in bare knuckle contest. He said cadets
in hospital sometimes were asked ques-
tions. and there may have been some
funny formations but he never heard of a
punishment for hazng in hospital.

THE BEST BOAT.

1t is rather a curious and it is certainly
suggestive coincidence that upon each
side of the Atlantic the boat that was
newly built to take part in the impending
race for the Americas Cup has been de-
feated by the boat upon which it was
meant and believed to be an improve
ment. The Shamrock | several days ago
Outsailed the Shamrock II. and now the
Columbia has distanced the Constitution
1t stands TO reason that the possibilities
in the way of building fast yachts are
limited. Whether they have yet been ex-
hausted is a question which admits of
a radical difference of opinion, but that
must get there eventually will have
to be conceded The elements which
make for speed in the construction OF a
sailing vessel are no less restricted than
familiar. The time will come when the
combination of them will have been ex-
hausted, when the precise manner of pro-
ducing a desired result viii have been re-
duced to a mathematical certainty How
far removed we are from the arrival of
that period can only be conjectured, but
there is no reason for suppoSing that it
will be very long delayed. How much
was there to choose between the Sham
rock and the Columbia? y Very, very lit
tie. The one boat was just about as good
as the other. Another step, and races will
be won only by luck and seamanship.-

After weary months spent in negotia-

/ in Pekin appear to be as far away from
| agreement on the details of the indem-
| nifty question as they We're at the be-
/ ginning. The lack Of harmony. indeed.
| is great enough to make it possible that

/ ticable The chief trouble seems TO lie
/ with the second and third rate Powers.
I which are not especially concerned 10
! conserve commercial relations with
/ China. but are extremely anxious to get
as much out Of the Empire as they can.
It happens, also, that the same States
are least able 10 float liabilities at low
interest, and so they are uncOmfortably
insistent upon high rate. The fnan-
ciaI powers. the United States and
Great Britain. would experience no diff
ficUlty in placing their shares Of the in
demnity, severally guaranteed, at three
or even two and a half per cent in
terest, and realize par for their bonds
That. however, is not true OF Austria.
Belgium. Holland, or even Russia; so
this Government reluctantly has con-
sented TO an interest rate of four per
cent Considering the provisions which
must be made for a sinking fund and
paid in year by year, and the crude
character OF the Chinese fiscal system,
it is open to doubt that China can raise
the revenue necessary to Iquidate the
indemnity debt and have anything left
for the necessary PURPOSES OF national
administration.
The whole question resolves itself into
one between the open door and parti-
ton. This country and Great Britain
want the open door and Chinese terri
torial integrity. because with partition
the open door would be slammed shut
and locked against US, as far as any
one can see today. Compared with our
trade interests in China, the twenty
five million dollars we demand In in
demnity is a consideration almost neg
ligible. Were Russia honestly with US
in the premises, the difficulty Of the sit
uation would disappear, since a cOmbi-
nation Of the Russian with British and
our own influence doubtless would be
sufficient TO compel q satisfactory solu-
ton. Unfortunately, only Great Britain
has an obvious policy in connection
with the matter Identical with ours.
The Cars interests are territorial
rather than commercial, in the sense
that American and British interests
are. Unless the diplomatic impasse
can be quickly overcome there is too
much reason for fearing that the bur
den which a majority Of the Powers are
inclined TO place upon China viii prove
greater than she can bear. and then, Of
course, the menace OF partition Will be-
come again imminent Altogether, the
situation is not without discourage
ment
