ANNOUNCEMENT oe LIFE ASSURANCE. 6 Equitable Life Assurance So- ciety of the United States makes the following announcentent to the public: The dissatisfaction which prevails throughout the community with re- gard to onerous conditions con- tained in life assurance contracts and the judicial decisions based thereon, together with the public indorsement of the liberal usages of this Society, as shown by its large- ly increased. business, has led the management seriously to consider whether the contract could not be simplified, and certain conditions erased therefrom which have beén the subject of much criticism and misconception. After e careful examination of the experience of some of the best com- paniesin Great Britain, who have shown a greater liberality than has been customary in this country, this Society feels justified in adopt- ing a form of contract in which the following important concessions are made to policy-holdersthrough- out the United States: - 1, Policies will be made incon- testable after three years from. their date. 2.

Four Hundred Nihilists Arrested in One Night at Kieff. GREAT BRITAIN. THE AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION. Lonxpox, July 5.—In the House of Com- mons, last evening, the Government agreed to the motion of Henry Chaplin (Conserva- tive) for the appointment of.a Royal Commis- sion to inquire into the causes of the aari- cultural depression, and how far they were created by, or areremediable by, legislation. The matter caused great debate. All sides agreed that a great cause of the depression was American competition. Mr. Chaplin, in his opening speech, said he regarded free trade as 8 question definitely settled, but he coud not shut his eyes to the failure of many of the predictions of advocates of free trade. He aid not propose a remedy now, but only asked for inquiry. He pointed ont that the future of the British sgricult- ure’ was dependent upon the cost of produce in America. . If the cost of importation fell below the cost of production at home, the ruin of British agriculture was not far distant. The Liberals, such-as Brassey, MacDuff, and Dnff, blamed the British land system and the Game laws for the depression. Their arzuments were summed upinaspeech by Bnzht, who warned the land-owners that the competition of the United States would go on increasing, and the only way of meeting it was to get rid of stupid and mischtevous legislation regulating tenure and transfer of land. McIver and Ben- tinck a@vocated protective measures, but the Maranis of Hartington and the Goverament, as represented by Viscount Sandon (Conservative) and Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchequer, declared that no cause bas been: shown for such measures, which certainly would never be sanctioned. The Marquis of Harting- ton attributed the depression primarily to a bad season. SHORT-IIME MOVEMENT. The Manchester Guardian says the ruinously low prices obtainable for cotton goods are lead- ing to a very decided curtaitment of production. “Flee are sigus of an extensive adoption of a ee gu system of Short-thaie working in the factories at repable this moye- Oldham, and it seems very 0! oe ment will rapidly spread. eae SILVER. : Lonpon, July 5.—The. Times in its financial article this morning says: “The silver market Friday was rather flat. ecent purchasers showed great disinclination to give moré orders at anything above 52d per ounce. Supplies were short, and holders did not press.sales. Prices, therefore, were merely nominal.” GERMANY. HARVESTING IN GERMANY. Lonpow, July 5.—The Standard’s Berlin cor- respondent says the harvest in Germany 1s yery promising. THE TARIFF. The clause of the Tariff bill which was adopted yesterday enables the German Govern- ment to make reprisals against any State which may subject German merchandise or shipping to special disadvantages. The Federal Council has decreed that the tariff duties in the case of ruch State may be raised 50 per cent. The Reich- stag has approved the duties on woolen goods. Wool remains free. . |, PROGRESS MADE. _ Bentty, July 5.—Parliament to-day. voted the remaining clauses of the new Tariff law, with the exception of that relating to tobacco, Which will be discussed on Monday. A duty of 40 marks on coffee was voted, 147 against 97, and that of 6 marks on petroleum, 171 sgainst 92. These yotes were the result of an arrangement effected betteen the Centre and Conservative parties. TURKEY. _ ESCAPED. ConsTaNTIxoPLe, July 5.—The rumor that the ex-Sultan Murad has escaped seems to be corroborated by the extraordinary military meas- ‘ures taken and searches made on board ships in the Bosphorus and Sea of Marmora. THE PRINCE Of BULGARIA arrived here to-day, received his investiture from the Sultan, dined with Prince Lobanoff, the Russian Ambassador, and sailed for ‘Varna.

Mr. Gould to bis intimate friends de- clared that his only object in making the trip yas one of pleasure, and thatithad nothing what- ever to do with his business interests, but ‘orokers sbyjy shook their heads and said: “ Wait and see.” Mr. Gould bid his wife and the other members of his family, save .his son George, a good-by inthe morning, and went to his office in Broad street, where he attended to business until after 3 o'clock. With hardly enough time to reach the steamer, he ordered a coupe, and with bis son went from the office in true Wall- street hurry to-the steamer.

THE RAILROADS. THE DENVER FIGHT. ‘Spectat Dispatch to The Tribune. Denver, Col., July 5.—Anticipating opinions from Judge Miller in the, railroad cases, the United States Court was again filled this morn- ing. The proceedings were brief, but emphatic. The Santa Fe counsel gave notice of a motion to dismiss Receiver Risley aud have the Denver & Rio Grande property restored to the lessecs. Then outcropped the fact that the Rio Grande counsel had not complied with the filing of their amended bill making the Santa Fe Company ao varty to the sult, which was promised last ‘Thursday by the Santa Fe counsel. The Cours were indignant at this seeming attempt of the Rio Grande people to delay progress. Jade Miller gave the Rio Grande counsel until Monday morning for the filing of the same under penalty of dismissal of their cause. The Court also sustained the exceptions of the Santa Fe counsel to the Rio Grande an- swer in one of the supplemental bills, the rul- ing being if the contract entered into between the two companies constituted an act of aban- donment of the right through Grand Canon, it was not material whether the contract had beea fally lived up to or not. The Judge. thisafternoon suggested to the counsel of both companies that a Commission of three competent engincers should be ap- pointed, one by each company and one by the Court, to examine the Grand Canon, reporting thereon as to how much of the canon is too narrow for more than one track, and conse- quently now much the Rio Grande is extended under a prior right. To-night counsel are reticent. The Santa Fe counsel propose entering court on Monday again, and move for tne dismissal of the Re- eciver. Animated discussions are predicted. Many predict that within a brief ‘period the Rio Grande will be ordered restored to the Santa Fe Company. To-day’s proceedings are discussed through- out the city to-night, with no diminution in the excitement and interest. Co am cer iene rein ANOTHER VANDERBILT SCHEME. 1 ‘Special Dispatch to The Tribune. Bosros, July 5.—Vanderbilt’s . purchase of 2,500 shares in the Troy & Boston Railroad, by which he obtains a controlling interest in the corporation, is regarded by railroad men here as asignifcant transaction in connection with the announcement that Vanddéerbilt will make ex- tensive improvements, including the laying of a new double steel track the entire length of the road, some forty-eicht miles. In addition to this the line will be provided with first-class ‘transportation privileges, such 2s would enable it to successfully handle the immense amount of freight from the New York Central sources of supoly. The purchased - line runs from. North Adams to Troy, and connects there with the New York Central. The advantage whicb the new phase of affaira has developed is, that while formerly Vander- Dilt operated 258 miles, this being the distance from Buffalo to Albany, and was then obliged to send his freight via the Boston & Albany Line to Boston, under the new arrangement he will have control over 8 line to Boston as far as North Adams, a distauce of 350 miles. The re- sult predicted by maay good authorities is the diversion of a good ebare of the Great Western traffic from the Boston & Albany to the Fitch- barg Road. The price paid for the shares was 50 cents on the dollar, a large increase over re- cent quotations. . JKANSAS CITY AIR-LINE. Special Dispatch to The Tromne.
