Evidence has been received that Japan has taken active measures to make full amends to the United States for the recent murder in Japan of Frank Epps, an ap- Prentice attached to the United States cruiser Olympia. A telegram has been re- ceived from Admiral McNair, commanding the Asiatic station, saying that the Japan- ese murderer of Epps has been lodged in jail in Nagasaki. and will be prosecuted according to the criminal procedure of Ja- pan. Irstructions have been sent to Minister Buck to watch the proceedings, and see that full justice is done in the prosecution of the case. According to the official re- ports on the subject, Epps was granted lib- erty from the Olympia and went ashore at Nagasaki, where he remained some hours. At 8:15 p.m. he took a boat to return to the Olympia. The water was smcoth and the moon was bright. As the boat was passing a British merchantman cries for help were heard, and three men on board the British ship saw the Japanese who was in the boat strike the American on the head and throw him overboard. The Brit- ish vessel pursued the small boat, but failed to overtake the fugitive. The body of the apprentice was recovered three days later. Francis Lirgo, the negro who atten:pted to abduct Miss Katherine Berry in Phila- delphia, was sent to prison for twenty years. PIANOS AND ORGANS. Holida Pianos.

A Claim That It Will Freeze Out the Smaller Brokers by Raising the License Fee. To the Editor of The Evening Star: A few days ago The Star published a synopsis of an insurance law to be sub- mitted to Congress. As the full text of the proposed bill has not yet been given to the public it is, of course, impossible to crit!- cise it as a whole, but there is enough in- formation conveyed in The Star's account to call forth condemnation as regards its scope. I think there are but few who do not be- | lieve that there should be sume law by which all insurance companies doing busi- ness in the District should prove their re- sponsibility before being permiited to write insurance here. Such a law is needed, but in carrying out its provisions no such ferce of high-salaried officials would be necessary as the bill under consideration calls for. The assessor is the proper one to see the law enforced, and should be allowed an ex- tra clerk or two to attend to the details. Now for the objectionable features of the bill: First, why should brokers be charged a license fee of $100? Brokers now do busi- ness under a general real estate and insur- ance license for which they pay $50 per an- num. There is no other plausible reason why they should be charged an extra li- cense fee than the desire of the larger firms to freeze out the smaller brokers, who are just-as honest as they are, but whose business will not justify this extra burden. I have been told that there are too many insurance brokers and this law will reduce -Rockers, Parlor Lamps, &c, ON CREDIT!

It is not my pose to enter into the question of pr miums charged in this city, but I would | suggest that if the Commiss‘oners persist j in their effort to run out of the business the small firms, they may in a measure atone for the injustice by doing something for the public in having the exorbitant rates now in force here reduced somewhat. lf Congress says that the board of under- writers has the power to fix rates from which no deduction shall be made it clearly has the right to say what those rates shail be. The premium in this city on a tirst- class dwelling house risk is 623 cents per 100 for three years, while in New York or Philadelphia it is written for 20 cc less. Have we such a miserable fire c ment as these figures would indicate? In conclusion I will say that I have wr: ten this simply in the interest of fair play. I do not believe in underhand methods in carrying on what should be a fair ficht. Congress should not be called on to assist the board of underwriters in their fight against non-board companies.
