San Francisco, Jan. 3.-The Amerl-
can ship ST. David is drifting about
the north Pacific, dismasted and short
of provisions. The japanese liner

CANCELLED ALL INSURANCE.
The international Mercantile Ma
rine Co. Has Cancelled All In
surance From January 4.

London, Dec. 3.-Considerable in
terest was created at Lloyd's to-day
by the announcement that three lines
belonging to the international Mer-
camille Marine Co.-the Leyland, Do
minion and White Star-had can
celled their insurance from January
l. 1t was presumed to be the inten-
tor of the International Mercantile
Marine Co. to include its other lines
in this arrangement.
While the removal of such a large
amount of business from the market
at one sweep aroused comment, the
brokers who are effecting the insur-
anct of the limits mentioned received
the news with equanimity, owing to
the fact that for more than a year
pest all these contracts netted a loss
to the underwriters.

The Fire Losses for 1902, IN
Round Figures, Aggregated
About $16I, 900, 900.
DECREASE FROM THE PRECEDING YEAR.
insurance Companies Prospered' IN
osmuch ms Much of the Property
Destroyed in Big Fires W"s 80
Covered, and Rates were "en-
orally Much Higher.

New York. Jan. 3.-The fire losses
of the United States and Canada were
hardly in excess of $161.00O,0oo Tor the
wear 1902, even allowing an approx
mate estimate of $15,ooo,000 for the
month of December, in the absence as
vet of carefully-compiled figures by
underwriters for last month
This amount is about $9,00o,00o less
than the losses for 1901, and between
100000 and $19,o0o,oo0 less than
the fire record for 1900, which was the
worst wear in the history of fire I'M
derwriting.
Outside of the Paterson and Water
bury fires, the worst fires OF l9o2
were that at Atlantic City on April 3,
estimated at $1,50O,O00 damage, and
the destruction of the Armour plant
at Chicago, with loss of 100000.
There are two considerations which
have combined to make 1902 much
more favorable for the fire insurance
companies than any of the preceding
three years.
There were several bad fires, nota-
bly, that at Atlantic City in May, IN
which much of the property de-
stroyed was wholly or largely with
out insurance.
While the property loss at Pater-
son was over 100000, the under
writer's paid in indemnities something
like "a 600 600 The Waterbury inSur-
ance loss was about $750,0OO smaller
than the property loss.
The other factor for fire insurance
men was the almost universal advance
in fire insurance rates throughout the
country. The advances were all the
way from rs per cent. to over 100 per
cent.

TWO ENGINE CREWS KILLED.
Railroad Accident In Vermont
Adds Four Names to the Death
List and Injuries Many More.

Burlington, VT, Jan. "a wild en-
CINE, running from Burlington to
Rutland, on the Rutland railroad,
crashed into the north-bound flyer
from New York, Friday night, at Shell
burne. The crews of both engines
were killed and brakeman who was
riding on the wild engine was proba-
bly, fatally hurt, and nearly every one
of the flyers crew was injured more
or less seriously. No passenger was
seriously hurt, although many re-
ceived bruises.
The impact of the collision was ter
rible, and only the heaviness of the
flyer prevented greater disaster. AS
it was, both engines were totally de-
molished, the boiler of one exploding
with terrific report.

Apparently, the construction of
new railroads and the extension of
old ones has added something like
6.0O0 miles of main track to the
steam lines of the United States in
the year 1902. This will bring the to-
tai mileage of the country up to
about 205,00O. No other grand divi-
sion OF the earth's surface can show
any such figures as these. Europe
has several times the population of
the United States, but she falls con-
siderably short of this country in
railroads.

THE COMMERCE OF NEW YORK.
Material Gain In the Aggregate Vol
ume of Business Over 1901.

New York, Jan. 3.-The official re-
turns of the commerce of the port
of New York for 1902 show material
gain in the aggregate volume of bust
ness as compared with 1901. Some
idea of the increase may be had from
the fact that nearly $18,000,000 more
in duties was collected than in the
previous year. Imports of merchan-
disc, exclusively, were larger by about
$2S, 100000, but domestic merchandise
exports declined to the extent of $24,-
100000, approximately. The imports
of gold and silver in 1902 were about
100000 less~than in 1901. The ex-
ports of foreign gold and silver were
somewhat greater in 1902 than during
the previous year, while exports of
domestic gold and SILVER, were, in
round numbers, $36,0o0,o00 less.

Rudyard Kipling is not a diplomat,
but he knows intuitively the feeling

demonstrated in the Boer war, and
