Of wisdom b. the Portsmouth lNaD
Star as follows
This Is no doubt the opportunity
Of the South This is the period Of
sunshine In which she can make hay.
There has MOI been time for forty
years during which the opportunity
for minding our business was so full
and free and iyitiug for the south.

The question ls. how?
The Manufacturers Record thinks
this general proposition Is cpitomized
and the question is answered by the
Star In the extremely practical sug
gosiion that instead Of wasting time
on national anairs." and especially
in getting too deep into national poll
tics. the South should recover It's lost

fy Under existing circumstances. as
one views the attitude Of q number
Of southern leaders In congress TO

tarin aud the rclntiun Of the national

aud industry, II would seem that any
effective asserting itself by the South
under such leadership In national poll
tics would benefit neither the South
nor the rest Of the country. To be
sure. there are men in public life In
the South fully capable ot political
leadership for the good Of the whole
country. including the South. But
for the moment they have not the
weight In national affairs that they
should have. There are too many
southern men not In political life

demonstrated signal aapacities for

NO AMERICAN LOSSES.
Chilian Disaster viii Not Hit T.. S.
Insurance Com Ddnies.

The American fire Insurance companies will
not be affected. it was learned yesterday by
the fire losses supposed to have been sustained
in Valparaiso result of the earthquake The
insurance companies OF this country have not
written policies in any part Of Chill because of
the laws governing foreign insurance companies
which they considered unfavorable for opera
tions in that country.
There are operating in Chill twenty-one fire
insurance companies which. although ostensby
domestic corporations, I'm reality represent for
the most part English capital. These conpa nies
represent a paid up capital Of about 100000
pesos or approximately s1.75OOO0
One of the laws regulating the operation of
foreign companies that deferred the American
companies from doing business In Chilli, and
which has probably saved them much money
enacted by the Congress Of 1904 and be-
came law in December of that year. The law
divides fire insurance companies into two
classes. The first class are those with capital
of 100000 pesos C$1s2.5OO) or over. and those
with less than this amount constitute the second
class. The companies Of the first class are re-
quired 10 deposit with the government 300 900
pesos C$1O95OO). and Of the second class 200 600
pesos Cs7SOOO).
These deposits may be in Investments in un-
incumbered real estate in Chilli in currency or
sterling. or in bonds of institutions accepted by
the president Of the republic.

VALP4RAISO'S LOSSES.
Reports of Destruction ReceiUed IN
This City.

Vessel DuvaI e. Co. Of this city, which does
a large business In South America, especially
Chill. received the following dispatch from VAL
paraso:
Town nearly destroyed. Particulars later when
shakes cease.
This dispatch timed 1855 a. m but il is
not known whether it was filed yesterday morn
ing or Friday morning.
The Central and South American Telegraph
Company reports that the situation in Val
paraiso is similar TO that which existed in San
Francisco Their manager reports that all
places of business have been closed. and the
delivery and operating staff is much demoral-
lied. No messengers have reported for duty.
and deliveries can only be made application
to the office. Many people have left the city.
AdOIfo Ortuzar consul general for Chilli in
this city. issued the following statement to-day
regarding the earthquake in Valparaiso
Up to the present moment we are without
official news. The failure Of cOmmunica tiOns
was due TO the fact that the telegraph lines
which unite Chill and Argentine have been cut
in the Cordilleras of the Andes. My personal
opinion is that the accident has not reached the
proportions which has been credited TO it,
The house of W. r. Grace & Co. which is
ported safe, is in the most central part OF the
oity, and besides II is old one which makes
me suppose that the shock has not had the ter
rible consequences which have been announced.
This firm has 1SO employees in Valparaiso and
UP 10 the present time, according to their tele-
grams every one of them is safe.

CONDITIONS IMPROVING.
Business at Valparaiso Resumed and
Fire SIachens.

London, Aug. IS.-Private cable dispatches re-
ceived at 2:l5 this afternoon say that business
has been resumed at Valparaiso and that the
fire in the business quarters is declining.
Most OF the private messages received here
from South America to-day refer simply to the
safety Of the staffs Of British firms doing busi-
ness in Valparaiso. The manager of the Tara
paca- Argentina Bank informed the press that
from the advices he had received he had reason
20 believe that the damage done Valparaiso
was not serious supposed. The staff of the
bank was safe. and the building had been only
slightly damaged.
The Pacific Steam Navigation Company re-
ceived the following message from Valparaiso:
Violent earthquake Heavy loss of property
and lives. The company's office partially de-
stroyed. Floating property undamaged.
Cable dispatches received by two firms here
say that only two squares in Valparaiso have
been destroyed. On the other hand the Chilian
Trading Company's advices say that a great
amount of damage, accompanied by severe loss
OF life has resulted from the earthquake
Other messages show that the reports that
the nitrate grounds in Chill suffered seriously
are unfounded Copiapo capital OF the province
Of Atacama, apparently was the most northerIy
point where the disturbance was seriously felt.
Iquique Antofagasta and other towns in the
nitrate region were not damaged.
