UPRISING iN CHINA • NEAR.
Viceroys Aro Powerless to Calm
Public indignation.
Wm. Hancock, for the past 31 years a
resident of China, and a i~ommissioner
of Customs there, arriving in San Fran-
eisco recently on the liner Hong Kong
en his way to England. Speaking of
the situation in China 110 said:
"The principal causes of- the present
unsettled condition are the dissatisfaction
in Southern China over -the indemnity to
be paid to foreign countries resulting
from the Boxer outrages, which occurred
in Northern China, and the outrageous
treatment accorded to the wealthy King
family of China by a Customs officer in
Boston dvhcn he and his family were en
route from England to China by way of
this country. King and his family were
treated as ordinary coolies, and the head
of the family was furious over the mat-
ter. 1 think he was the. real instigator
• of the boycott."
"Yuan Sbi Kai, Viceroy of Chili Pro -
vines, has done all he could to stamp
out the boycott, but no one can do much
when once public indignation is aroused
in that country. Things are very apt to
.become serious before peace again
reigns. In various provinces the Chinese
are on the eve of a serious uprising, and
it is hard to tell to what length they
will go."
W. S. Allen, Canton agent for a flour
company, who arrived from the Orient
on the same steamer, said the situation
in China was very serious. "The princi-
pal element in the agitation over there
is the newspaper agitation," be said.
"The Chinesa newspapers have pro-
gressed wonderfully. They are at last
alive te the general_ sittfntien of affairs
throughout the world, and they are iib=
coming a powerful weapon. It has been
charged that they are being controlled
ty the Japanese, hut I have no evidence
of R. The whole movement seems to me
a Chinese npheay.al, national in scope.
31 is Jaolish to say the boycott or the re-
Jorm movement in general is weakening.
It would be mere correct to say it is just
beginning. I tbink the whole trouble
Could bo compromised by allowing the.
'coolies aeess to the Philippines and
Bewail.'
Mr. Allen was recalled from China on
account of the paralysis of th.e- firm's
Chinese tethsinees since the boycott.

The great stadium at Athens, now in
process of blrilding on the site of the
ancient stanoture, is nearly finished, and
it will be ready for the Olympian gamete,
which will be held during the lost week
in April.
It is constricted entirely of dazzling
white marble, is aniphitheatrical in
shape, and will have a seating capacity
of 85,000. The structure has cost up-
wards of $49,060 to date, and when it
its complete it will rank next to the
Acropolis among the "sights " of the
city.
Some of tke most ancient es well as
nearly all the modern athletic sports
will figure in the programme of games.
and tbere is no doubt that contestants
from all over the civilized world will be'
present.
Interest in the gathering is not con-
fined to athletics. A. great number of
distinguished, visitors will attend, chief
among whom, it is hoped, will be King
Edward, who some ,lime ago condition-
ally promised to open the meeting. This
will naturally result in a series of bril-
liant receptions, garden parties and
other social functions.
The Greek post -office will issue a spe-
cial set of fourteen stamps commem-
,, .erative of the occasion.

LONDON'S MIGHTY TRAFFIC.
•
Government Report Throws Light on
Daily Rush.
Wonders of London traffic are narrat-
ed and illustrated in two blue books t,f
stngular interest—namely, Vols. V. and
VI. of the report of the Royal Commis-
sion on London traffic, just published.
They eentain a remarkable series of
plates and maps, about one hundred in
number. They are costly in workman-
ship and unique as a collection never
before realized of all the features of the
daily rush of London life.
..Among the curious facts obtainable
from these maps and diagrams are the
following:—
One-fourth of the population of Eng-
land and Wales living within a twenty
mile radius of Charing Cross.
Omnibuses in London carry in ono
year the whole population of the United
Kingdom seven times over their routes.
Mileage of railways within the area
now constituting the administrative
County of London was only 293 in 1845.
In 1860 it was 693a. In 1880 it hod in-
creased to 215',,, and in 1900 to 24832.
At the busy time of the day 642 omni-
buses pass by the Bank of England in
an hdure maltini the procession twa
and e. half miles long, and four hun-
dred pass through Oxford Street and
Piccoyiilly, a procession one mile and

MOTHER OF PEARL WORKERS.
Crude Methods Used by People of
Bethlehem.
The chief industry of Bethlehem in
Judea is that of the mother of pear]
workers. The shells are brought from
the Red Sea and in the hands of native
a: tisane are polished and carved, the
larger into elaborate designs; -the, small-
er are out up for rosaries and crosses.
Thework is all done by hand, and the
me, -.,, �fa are amazingly primitive to a
spectator from the home of steam and
electric power. But the results are extra-
-ordinary.
The largest shell we saw was carved
in scenes from the birth of Christ, the
Agony in the Garden and the Crucifix-
ion, and had the general effect of deli-
cate frostwork. Under the magnifying
glass every detail was seen to be perfect
in outline and In finish. It was executed
to order for on American and was 10
cost 8160.
About 150 persons make a living by
this industry, which is 500 years old. In
the shops the workmen sit upon the floor,
their benches In front of them; the Dir
is full of whitish dust, and, the light,
admitted by the single window and the
open door, so dim that the exquisite
tracery of the wrought shells is a mys-
tery even before the visitor notes how
few, simple and crude are the instru-
ments emlpoyed.
REALISM.
"How did McSosh •appear at the fancy
bell]."
"Ho went 'in the character of a ski it -
gun."
"Welt, that couldn't have been very
realistic."
"Wasn't eh? Why, he didn't know he
was loaded."

ident, in the , eltair, Mr. W. 1J. Davis, Acting Secretary. when the following
Report was submitted:
DIIRECTOBS' REPORT.
Your Directors have the honor to r resent the Report and Financial Slate.
tient of the Company .for the year which closed on the 31st December, 1905,
duly vouched for by the Auditors.
The new business of the year consisted of two thousand four hundred
and fifteen applications for insurance, aggregating $3,532,579, of which two
thousand three hundred and twenty-eight applications for $3,329,537.05 were
accepted.
As in previous years, the income of the Company shows a gratifying in-
crease, and the assets of the Company have been increased by $275,140.5$,
and have now reached 82,423,913.93, exclusive of guarantee capital. .
The security for Policy -holders, including guarantee capital, amounted fl
the close of the year to $3,293,913.93, and the liabilities for reserves and idi
outstanding claims, $2,213,698.75, showing a surplus of $1,080,215.18. Exclusive
of uncalled guarantee oapital, the surplus to Policy -holders was 82101 215.28.
Policies on seventy-eight lives became claims through death, to the amount, .. _-.
of $156,886.00, of which $8,911 was re -insured in other oompanies.
Including Cash Dividends and Dividends applied to the reduction of
premiums, with annuities, the total payment to Policy -holders amounted to
$-236,425.35.
Careful atteetion has been given to the investment of the Company's
funds in ,first-class bonds, mortgage securities and Ioans on the Company s
policies, amply seemed by reserves... Our investments have yielded a very.sate•
isfactory, rate of interest.
Expenses have been confined to a reasonable limit, consistent with due
efforts for new badness.
The results of the year indicate a most gratifying progress. Compared
with the preceding year, the figures submitted by the Directors for your
approval show an advance of nearly thirteen per cent, in assets.
The assurances carried by the Company now amount to $17,294,136.11, upon
which the Company holds reserves to the full amount required by lave, and,
in addition thereto, a considerable surplus.
The field officers and agents of the Company are intelligent and loyal, and
are entitled to much credit for their" able representation of the Company's
interests. Tine meinvnvs of the office stall have also proved faithful to the
Company's service.
Your Directors are pleased te be able to state that the business of the
Company far the past two months of the curernt year has been better than
fat the corresponding months of last year, and that the outlook for the future
is most encouraging.

. Mr. David Dexter, President and Managing Director, In moving tke adops
tion of the report, said -1 beg leave to submit for your consideration - and
adaption tile report of the Company for the year ending 31st December, 1905.
I0 doing so 1 am pleased to say that it is the most setisfaetery your 'Simonsen
have hid the privilege of placing before you. As compared with the preceding
year it shows a gain of seven per cent. in premium income, thirteen per cent.

amount of new assuraaaces placed, 7 per cent in amount of assurances ia force,
12 per cont. in assets, 14 per cent. ia reserves held to provide for the pay-
ment of Pettey contracts new in force, and 43 per cent. in the surplus over all.
lialtiiitfos,
The profits paid to policy -holders also show an increase of 16 per cent and
the payments made to policy -holders le per cent. in excess of the previous soar,
The reser.es now held to meet Assurance obligations an they mature are
in excess of the present requirements of the Ineurance Act, additions being
tirade from year to year to meet the higher standard of reserves on assuraimes
written prior to Ilse year 1909, which the Act requires that we shall geld at
the expiration of a term of years. 411 policies of assurance written frnee the
year 1899 and many previous thereto are secured by reserves on 84 per cent.
and 3 per cent. basis,
The profits to the policy -holders bate been maintained in so far es it was
possible to do so in the face of the 'mottle thereon from various sources,
which may be surlharized as follows: 7'Ire increased cost of new business ow.
ing to the methods adopted by competitors, particularly some of the A,nerine ]
companies; ttae fees and taxes charged and levied by Provincial Governments,
the greater privileges end advantages granted to the policy -holder under the
modern policy contract.
I would hews remark in explanation of the last item that these additiondi
privileges and benefits are increased privileges of travel, residence, occupa-
ben and conliauance of policy, the sarne becoming non -forfeitable alter three
years, until the reserve thereon is exitausted in payment of premiums. It will
bo• readily understood that some of the causes which I have mentioned have
tended to-incroa.ae the cost of o,ssurancc, and others is impair the sources
from which profits formerly accrued.
rhe shareholders who provided the paid-up and additional guarantee cap -
its! for security to policy -holders when such a provision was necessary have
ire ne way eocronctled upon the profits to policy -holders, but have nhurh less
in return for their cash investment than the average rate of 'menet& earned ity
the Company on investments.
Your Directors hone always endeavored to the beast of their ability to se•
lett safe as well as profitable investments for the funds entrusted to their,
euro and the securities held will bear the most rigid inspectien:
