ANCE MEN.

The Appellate Division OF the Supreme Court has
decided that a 'Iloyds' is IAN unincorporated as
sociation Of seven more persons" within the
meaning of the statute of the State Of New-York to
do insurance business. and such all of the in
dyidual underwriters join in an action to
recover money a contract made TO reinsure all
of their risks, such action may be maintained
in the name of the attorneys in fact in their rep
resentative capacity.
The decision was given in the case ot Joseph w
Thompson and Charles II. Bellows. two OF the in
dvidual underwriters at the Commercial Lloyds
who sued the Colonial Assurance Company for their
individual shares Of the amount due the Com
mercial Lloyds under a reinsurance contract

fourteen other persons under the OF the In
diyidual Underwriters at Commercial Lloyds to do
a fire insurance business. BY the terms of the as
sociation each of the individual underwriters was
to be liable for one-fteenth part of loss any
of the policies issued by the association but was
not to be liable for the proportion Of the risk
sumed by the other members of the association.
Some time after the association formed the
Commercial Lloyds paid the Colonial Assurance
Company s250eo take over the outstanding in
surance of the Lloyds. amounting to $4,000
Thompson & Bellows sued the Colonial Assurance
share of losses sustained policies transferred

GOMEZ OUT OF THE RACE
Continued from first page.

Cuban Republic did not get their inspiration
while they were here in consultation with Presi-

Cubans were made distinctly to understand at
the outset that the authorities in Washington
would not be drawn into discussion or considera-
tion Of Cuban local politics. President Mckin-
lev even went so far tell the visitors that
he had no candidate for President or any other
office in Cuba when the people there are pre-
pared TO organize their government There is
no i'll feeling in Washington official circles
toward General Palma and If the Cubans want
him for their first President nothing will be
done at this end of the line against his election
Nor would his opponent be either opposed or
favored here. General Palma is well and ia
vorably known in Washington, az his prominent
connection with the Cuban JUnta in this country
frequently brought him unofficial in contact
with representati tives of the administra ton But
so are numerous other rroninent Cubans. who
are likely to he candidates for President we'll
known and well thought of in Washington. and
it is feared that the misapprehersion caused by
the reported candidacy of Estrada Palma will
cause several Of the other candidates to come
here or to send representatives to plead their
cause General Maxinno Gomez already has sig
nified his intention of visiting Washington about
the time the President returns from the West,

Buffalo. April 80 (SpeciaD.-The elements have
not been kind to the Pan-American Exposition
and they appear reluctant to turn sunny face
TO it even now. To-day the clouds hovered over
the fair grounds, and with evening came misty
drizze of rain. So far as the eye could reach
upward toward the clouds there was a heavy
bank of the stuff from which rain is made and
it looks if to-morrows opening Of the fair
might be marked by external dampness and
muddy roads. But neither this stepmotherly
weather nor other unexpected obstacles daunt
the sturdy Buffalonians. They have a sublime
confidence in the greatness of their fair, and
have not a doubt but that all who come here
will manifest willing tribute TO their pluck their
skill and their untiring energy Not anywhere

is to be the most attractive exhibition that the
world has ever seen, and that they mean to
