The Squadron in a Storm.
‘ After all the cheap fun the para-
graphers have been having out of the
navy,‘it is too much to expect them to
pay any attention to the triumphant
way. in which Admiral Bunce’s sduad-
ron rode through a cyclone off Hatter- ,
as. That some of the vessels suffered
injuries is likely enough, for the storm
was terrific and they met it at the very
worst point on the coast; several men
were lost and some boatswere swept
away, and oneof the cruisers is said to
be battered in some part of its complex
upper-works; but they all weathered
the storm and arrived in port with very
little delay.
The Indiana had trouble with her tur-
ret fastenings in the last gale she en-
countered, and as the new mechanism
had not been tested, her commander
put back to Hampton Roads when he
saw the cyclone coming and thus avoid-
ed an unnecessary risk. There is no
reason to assume, however, that the
Indiana would not have done as well as
the others.
The battleship M;.ine, the cruisers
New Ycrk, Columbia and Marblehead
and even the monitor Amphitrite, which .
is not expected to venture far at sea,
all came safely through such astorm
as tests the seaworthiness of‘any craft,
as well as the seamanship of its officers,
to the uttermost.
This would not be especialy remark-
able except for the absurd, unjustfiable
and viciously ignorant comments of in-
land critics upon two or three recent
accidents to men-oi- war which have
been spoken of as though _our navy
was good for nothing. The English
have lost several modern 'fc'raft under
much less stress than was encountered
by? Admiral ' Bunce off Hatteras, and
France, Germany. and Italy have each
had similar losses. Yet no one makes
fun of the great European navies.
It is admitted that these heavy ar-
mored ships are more difficult to handle
i n a storm than the old-fashioned frig-
ates, though these also were sometimes
wrecked, and many details of their con.
struction and equipment are still too
new for the certain guidance of experi-
ence. But it may be asserted confident-
ly that there is no better squadron of.
its class anywhere, taking ship by ship,
than that now assembled at Charleston
nor any more competently commanded.
Carnegie on the Outlook.
Andrew Carnegie is very hopeful of
the general business outlook, and looks
for a slow but sure improvement.
The millionaire came to town yester-
day from his country home in Connecti-
cut, says the New Y. Sun, and had this
to say as to the situation in commer-
cial circles:
“I think that good times are on the
way and will arrive this year. Of
course, a great deal depends on the ac-
tion of Congress in sp’ecial session, but
until the next Congress convenes, and
it is seen whether or not the new tariff
bill will be promptly passed, we must
not expect much change.” ,
“Do you anticipate that the silver
question will cut any figure in the fu-
ture?” Mr. Carnegie was asked.
“ No,” he replied, "‘I think that that
issue is dead. Nevertheless, I am glad
to see that the business men have
formed a sound-money organization,
and they are alert to the needs of the
hour.” '
V “ What‘do you think of Mr. McKin-
ley’s Cabinet up to date?” .. .
“ I think that we are going to hairs a
good administration,” said Mr. ' Carne-
gie. “The appointment of Mr. Gage
as Secretary‘ot the Treasury is a splen-
\did one. It will do more to help along
the return. of . prosperity than all the
other appointments Major McKinley
has made. Mr. Gage has the confidence
of capital, and that is what is very
much needed in the country just now.
I believe we have reiched the turn in
the road, and are on. the highway ‘to
. prOSperily once mire.

The following gains were made by the ZETNA LIFE in 1896 : p
In income, $1,057,816.28; in assets, $1,997,234.42 ; in surplus, $198,816.81 ; in
new life business, $1,598,668.00 ; in life insurance in force, $5,608,680.00 ; in . acci-
dent business in force, $21,736,500.00; in accident premiums, $175,086.72 (or 62
per cent); in new business in Connecticut, $310, 642,00 ; in total life business in
Connecticut, $472,569.00. ' '
The dividend to the insured for 181-17 is the 25th regular annual increase—a record
unparalleled in the history of life insurance. Notwithstanding the advance, made
by the jETNA LIFE in 1896, its expenses to income in the Life Department were a
little lower than in the previous yearfi and 23 per cent. less than the average ex-'
penses of the ten leading “purely mutual”
not their figures for 1896).
