The States Insurance Business

It is not generally known that the
State of South Carolina is conducting
most profitable insurance business
through the sinking fund commission.
The report through Secretary Means
for the present year shows that only
about $500 has been paid out for losses
and that the amount of insurance now
carried by state and county buildings,
except the hospital for the insane and
the State colleges amounts to about
$3.50, 600 and that the yearly premiums
amount to about $1,000. The surplus
now on hand is s11, GOO. Under the
law no personal property and nothing
but buildings belonging to the respec-
tive counties and to the State are in
sured and since this law went into
effect in 1901 only $40 has been paid
out in losses. The rate is about two
thirds the. rate charged by the insur-
ance companies. 4 Columbia, Record.

The Print Cloth Market.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 18.-Sales
in The print cloth market for the week
will reach q total of about 300, 900
pieces. The cloth market hes grown
stronger during the week. the prin-
cipal feature being an advance OF 1sin
regulars from 3a3ss to. 31a. The advance
1t is the general opinion, was due to
the many curtailment rumors, or to the
further advances of the cotton market.
There has been talk of curtilment
during the week, and nothing in this
direction is looked for. right away.

AS REUTERS AGENCY SEES TT

London, Dec. 2O.-Reuter's Telegram
company has learned that considerable.
anxiety exists in the best informed
circles of London regarding the posi-
BILE outcome of the situation in the
far east. Fears, it is said, are express
ed that the Russian government may
have overstepped the bounds which
would make continuation of peaceful
negotiations with Japan possible. It
is regarded as quite certain, it
asserts, that Japan will not ac-
cept the principles of the last Rus
sian note, which are altogether at
variance with ,Japan's main conten-
tions, and that Japan's reply must
necessarily be cast in this sense.
Apart from the delicate state of the
negotiations between the two nations,
Reuter- says, it is also known that
Russia is assuming a more defiant.
attitude, and the outlook may be re-
garded as more gloomy than it hitherto
has been although it cannot be said
that the resources of diplomacy have
been completely exhausted.
The statement concludes by saying.
that there is as yet no actual news Of
fresh developments, and that no ulti-
matum has been sent by Japan 70,
Russia.

RUSSO-JApAAEsE CRISIS.
The Outlook is Gloomy in the Far
East and it is Feared That War
Cannot be Averted.

London, Dec. 21.-The morning
newspapers display increasing alarm
over the aspect of affairs in the far
east. rather from the fear that some
unforeseen incident may precipitats a
conflict than from any belief that the
resources of diplomacy have become
exhausted, the opinion being still
almost universal that both Russia ana
Japan are anxious to avoid war.
The Morning Post, which is inspired
in the japanese interest, makes g.
suggestion which may possess signlh-
cance-namely, that Japan should cut
the Gordian knot by declaring a pre-
tectorate over Corea. The paper con-
tends that such a solution would COM
mend itself to all the powers with the
exception of Russia and that it might
even be welcomed at st. Petersburg,
if it be true that Russia does not desire
war.
The special cablegrams from the far
east published in this mornings news
papers throw no new light on the stu
alton, but all are agreed that Japan
has not sent an unlimatum to Russia.
The correspondent Of The Daily
Telegraph who, after a tour of Man
churia, has arrived at 'Nagasaki, ex-
presses the belief that there will be NO
war, certainly not before the spring.
and Russia does not want war be-
fore she has consolidated her position
in Manchuria. She is apprehensive,
however, of the strength Of the Japan
ese feet and over the attitude of China.
