THE EQUITABLE LIFE.

The forty-fourth annual statement of
the Equitable Life Assurance society
gives particulars of the 1908 business. In
all particulars it is very satisfactory and
will be of special interest to the public
generally. The great magnitude of the
societyss operations its financial strength,
which is superior to that Of all other
companies, and the fact that although the
society is not yet forty-fve years old its
operations are so enormous, all add to its
interest.
The dividends paid in 1903 amounted to
Sc, $50, 1855. This sum was larger not
only than any amount ever before paid
by the society, but also than the largest
sum paid by any of its competitors. The
payments TO policyholders also show a
very large increase. and they, too, were
larger than those of any other company.
The total amount was $34949,672.27
The premium income amounted to SIS,
637. $50 60: income from interest and rents,
etc, $15. 0S0 461. 30; making total income
of s7s, 71s, 35093. After providing for the
total disbursements, the sum left to be
invested and to increase the assets was

during the year. and at the end amounted

Park Benjamin, graduate of the Naval
academy, inventor and student of the sci
ence of warfare, in a conversation with
friends on Monday predicted that the first
move of the Russo-Japan war would be
an attempt on the part of the Japanese
to blow up the Russian vessels at Port
Arthur, and has given the New York
American the following statement of the
attack and It's results:
The attack on the Russian fleet at Port
Arthur was strictly under the rules of the
game of war. 1t was the one proper thing
to do under the circumstances, but dis
plays on the part of the Russians de-
gree of carelessness that l am at loss
to explain. Where were the Russian
searehllghts that the torpedo boats of the
enemy could crawl in and do such dam
age?
What was the matter with the mines
with which the harbor of Port Arthur is
filled? Port Arthur is one of the most
strongly fortified places in the world
Russia spent millions in its defences, yet
the enemy could crawl into 1t and with
carefully prepared plans destroy three of
the most useful vessels of the feet.
Were Most important ships.
1t would have been impossible to have
picked out three more important ships of
the entire fleet-two of them the finest
battleships in the Russian navy and the
third one of the swlftest of commerce
destroyers.
1t needs no details from the seat of
war to warrant the announcement that
all these three ships are out Of action for
good, for when a Whitehead torpedo
bursts against the side of vessel that
vessel, be she ever so heavily protected
is of no more use than dead dog As
for the failure of the searchlights Of the
Russian fleet to pick out the invading
torpedo boats, can understand that
after the tests at Fort Adams at New
port, where It was found that the rap
idly moving small boats of the torpedo
pattern had percentage of chances in
their favor of evading detection, but those
tests were made in times of peace, when
there was perhaps not the strained watch
fulness that should prevail in war times.
Russians Were Careless.
The failure of the mines l can only ex-
plain on the theory that when the Rus
sian fleet, for some reason Incompetent
sible to me, left the harbor recently and
took a survey of the outer waters, the
mines had to be neutralized for the
safety of the outgoing ships, and that
after their return the Russians either
forgot to fix the mines again or were I'M
able to do so. The harbor must be chOked
with ice now, and the feat of fleet of
torpedoes entering 1t at all was remark
able one.
Now as to the situation. The Russians
had at Port Arthur eight first-class bat
tleships; another, the Orel. was on her
way to Japanese waters, and the anti
quated Dimitrsken on her way from the
Red Sea. With this fleet were many small
err ships. At Vladivostok she has four
cruisers, almost shut in by the ice it is
true, but with ice breakers at work there
is possibility at any day of their re-
lease.
