on December 81, 1900. On the basis Of
every 14S persons in 1891, one to every
90 in 1895 and one to every G.8 in 1900.
The actual increase in business during
the first five years was represented 10y
2,Gl0, 900 new policies, against 4,270,O00
during the second period. Hence it is
shown that the actual as well az the
relative growth of the business during
the past five years has been greater than
during the earlier period. These rcsuifs
would be more astonishing II the jni-
mense progress in industry and trade by
which the country has been raised TO
the dignity of the leading nation OF the
earth had not duled our appreciation Of
data OF vast proportions. The fact, how
ever. is one of utmost Significance. that
we have here the evidence of a growing
spirit of self-reliance, of spirit of pru-
dent forethought by which provision is
made against the contingencies Of an un-
known morrow by the millions whose iot
is one of toll and ceaseless struggling
against the uncertainties of human life.
The preceding returns are for the coun-
try at large, but in the nature of our busi-
nes our operations are almost exclusive
ly confined to the urban population. In
Newark the number OF industrial policies
in force in four companies exceeds the
number of population, and If allowance
is made for policy holders insured with
more than one company, it Will probably
be about right to assume that 10 per
cent. of the insuraole population in this
city are policy holders in industrial com
T., fna hn pf

in certain streets IN Newark and other
cities, the results of which will come as
a surprise to many who have not care

ness. On Pacific street, Newark, 50 per
cent. OF the population are insured; on
Cummings street, lryingtOn, n. j., S3
per cent; on Fourth street, Lancaster,
Pa, IS per cent: in the industrial por-
tion of Owcnsboro, KY, 81 per cent;
on Noble street Alliance, Ohio, SO per
cent; in the IL ustrial portion of Brisbin,
Pa, 90 per cont, while in the Riverside

Ign. the proportion Of insured population
is G9.9 per cent. These statistics are of
interest since to our knowledge no such
data have ever before been published,
and positive proof of the immense pop
ularity and social utility of our system
of insurance.
There appears no need of more de-
tailed examination of the facts supplied
by statistical evidence. The business re-
suits Of Industrial companies for the past
decade and of the Prudential for the past
eight months appear to be trustworthy
index factor of our national progress, and
they bear proof that our present day ma
terial prosperity is not only real and ex-
tcnsive, but widely diffused among all
the elements of our population-never so
well paid, SO well housed, so well pro-
vidcd for against the uncertainties and
hardships of human life, as they are to-
day.

Paris. March ga representative Of
.shae Associated Press yesterday COM
municated to Agoncillo, the Filipino
agent. the news Of the capture of Agui-
naldo. Agoncillo, who occupies a nicely
furnished apartment in house in a
central Paris street, apparently sur
rounded by every comfort, laughed and
said.
II do not believe 1t. have received
nothing by cable and until receive
confirmatory advices shall continue 10
ignore the news.
Asked If the announcement were
true, what effect he thought 1t would
have on the insurrection, Agonciiio re-
piled empha tically:
None, except the loss of a true pat
riot and clever general. The feeling
of the Filipino people and their deter
mination 10 fight aut the struggle for
independence will remain unshaka BILE.
II received a cablegram only yester-
| day which convinced me that the Fill
pino leaders have not modified their
persistent attitude regarding the con
| tinuance of the war. Whatever disaf-
| fections may have taken place in favor
of the Americans, the Filipino people as
whole are resolved to accept nothing
short of independence. !"
When Agoncillo was asked what ef-
feet the capture of Aguinaldo would
have on the campaign he said council
of the leading Filipinos would simply
meet and elect another military chief to
prosecute the war. adding that even
| tho Aguinaldo and his general STAFF
were all captured, many able generals
remain.
Agoncillo was asked who was likely
to be chosen to succeed Aguinaldc and
said he thought Gen. Alexandrino might
be selected, as he was clever military
leader and enjoyed the confidence Of
the people.
