Albany, F?b. W.?Ooverrnor Morton to-day siirned
Assemi'lyman Hostel'? bill requiring the Ktite Su?
perintendent of Insurance to r.f\ise to Issue licer.-; s
to Insurane? companies of foreign countries whoso
countries have shut out New-York Stats ruminantes
from dotn* business therein, n:id also to revoke the
??cennos of companies of such countries ?Already
doing business In this State.
The MS was Introduced early in the session at the
Instance of the lar ?;-.st three American life insur?
ant- companies, the principal office? of aduc?a are !n
Mew-Tork, as a retallstory meneur? against the
Prussian Government. Th it country some time ago
by Its stringent rules made it practically Impossible
for the New-York rompani?e to do business there,
and the Fxiuit.i'lc withdrew. This was followed by
the expulsion of the New-York Life and Mutual Life
itsurance companies under decrees o? tlie .Minister
? of the Interior of Prussia.
Superintendent Pierce under the provisions of the
Irw sinned to-.i,iy is compelled to revoke the li?
ce .sew to do business in tills State of the Prussian
National and Aachen-Munich Fire Insurance com?
panies of Prussia, and to refuso the application of
tli* Megdelmrg Fire Insurance Company for per?
mission to do business In this State.
In signing the bill Governor Morton n'.ed tie fol?
lowing memorandum:
State of New-York.
Executive Chamber, Albany, Feb. ?.
Memorandum Bled with Assembly bill entitled
"An act to amend tlie br?9Uranee law relative to the
cancelling of the authority of foreign companies."
upprovei!.
This bill seeks to amend section "'! of the Insur?
ance law? tir adding a provision for the canee.latlon
of trie authority of foreign Insurance companies,
whenever a company organised under the Iswa ? f
tills State is excluded fr,?m a foreign c ?untry and
is prohibited from transacting business therein,
after its compliance witn reasonable laws p-latiny
to deposits o:' money or securities with ti.e Govern?
ment of such country.
The lmn,odiate occasion of the pasrase of this bill
1b said to be the difficulties or c t.structlons en?
countered by several Neu-York life Insuran ,?:..
pati.es m transacting their buslnesa ir. a certain
foreign country; an! It is alleged, and not de
Hied, that these comparii? s had complied, or offer? 1
to comply, with tlie demande mad? .?> a them;
bat that, notwithstanding thl? compliance, they
?were arbitrarily eX.-;u :,,i u!i ? prohibited from trans?
acting busiiorss iri that country. T.'.ev hai been
for several years engaged in business there, and ll
Is not claimed that they had failed to comply with
any of the requlretnente imposed upon them by the
Government of rli.u country. Their exclusion, un?
der the circumstances, seems to Justify some action
by the Legislature, and this bill was prepared for
the purpose of providing mesns to enable th.? In?
surance Department to properly protect our home
corporations oy requiring the Superintendent i?, ? x
clude foreign corporations from the privilegi I
:: . isscting buslnesa here, wh. r. the lise privilegi
le denied to oir companies desiring to transa t
business in a foreign country,
RSTAUATIOM DEFENDED.
While retaliatory legislation Is not usually to be
conimeli led, i: ?OiouM be enacted for purposes uf
eelf-defence and the protection of our busln? ll
i- r.-ste whenever ,t appears that any other State or
, iry la unwilling to accord lo our cltlsena r*a
<? . . .? :. |p .: privil?ge! within lia domin?
ions. It scemi only reasonable that for?
eign oorporat ?na should not ??? permitted

It Is urged In opp altlon to ine bill that It is too
broad; that it gives :he Superintendent of the In
eurar.ee Department no discretion beyond the co:i
i .? rati ?? o? two given subjects, ai d that it will
be :. irrnf'i; to the business lnt< rest of the State.
< ?ar State already hai a well-defined policy concern?
ing foreign Insuranc ? companies The law provldei
that "the Superintendent may refuse to Issus any
c-rtlfleate to a foreign corporation if, in his Judg?
ment, such refusal will best promote the Interesta
of th* people of the Bute." This vests the super?
intendent with very large discretion and he might,
perhaps. under thla authority, refuse a certificate to
a corporation applying t?> do business in this State!
but i: does not give him any authority to cancel
existing certificate??. Foreign Insurance companies
arc required to make lari-;" deposita before com?
mencing l.usir.? ss In this State, ani *."?? Buperln?

eimply to a constipated condition of the system,
which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of

If In the enjoyment of good h-alth, and the

such amendment to the law as ?-xperlence may
suggest
IU'SIXF.SS MEN ANSWERED.
The opponent? of the blil also claim that it will
seriously affect the business Interests of the State
by depriving our people of th? opportunity to ob?
tain adequate fire Insurance. This objection c??m??
from large commercial Interests, and the protest l?
certainly entitled to serious consideration, but an
examination of the subje.-t leads me to think that
the possible harmful resoli? are overestimated, and
that no such mischief will ensue aa is predici, d by
those who object to the bill.
The law can probably have no retroactive effect,
so us to authorise the eiiperiiittmlent to cancel the
authority of foreign companies upon ?n application
based up in an order already mad?? by a foreign
Governo.t-nt. and his aid can only be Invoked .n
case of a refusal of an application hereafter ma ie
by a New-York company ; ir permission to transa? ?
It? business in a foreign country. Whether su -h an
application will be made by a Ncw-Yurk company
to ? foreign ?Jovernment, and whether, If made, it
will be refused, can only be conjectured M cannot
be assumed tn advance, and the bar? posstbll ty "f
such a result is not sufficient reason for the dis?
approval of the measure, ?rhlfh, in Iti ?renerai
scope, li propi-r for the protection of Xew-Yorh
corporations.
Besides, !h.? present Insurance law permits our clt
Isena to obtain Inaurane? from corporation? which
are not authorised to do buslnesa In ihi? Btate, ii] ?

BONDS NOT PAID FOR BY ORIOINAL BID?
DERS-MR. GRAVES'3 FAILURE
TO GET HIS I-OT.
There appears to be little doubt that the Govern?
ine"??; bonds of the new Issue on which the tlrst
instalment of 20 per cent of the purchase price was
not paid by last Saturday will be allotted by the
Secretary of the Treasury to the Syndicate headed
by J. Plerpont Morgan, at its bid of 110.??>?77 for the
whole $1??",.?"",'?^), or any part thereof. .Mr. Morgan
said yesterday:
"The bonds on which the first Instalment has not
bean paid beloni? to us. There can be no question
on that point. We have made no demand for the
bonds. We do not need to. The bonds cannot Le
given to anybody else."
How many bids are In default Is not known. Will
lam Graves who did not pay In anything on the
Id..'/.?,??) allotte?l to him, and could not dispose of
hi* allotment, clings to the notion that he Is still
<?ntitled to the bonds. He visited Assistant United
States Treasurer Jordan at the Sub-Treasury yes?
terday and wanteil to know If gold would be r??
celved from him In payment for botuls. Ho was told
that It woul?! not. Ho was too late. Then he tele
graph?'d to the Seer-tary of the Treasury to ascer?
tain If bonds would be delivered In New-York If he
Immediately paid for them In full with gold. The
reply, received from Assistant Secretary William K.
Curtis w'as:
"Bonds ar.? Issued only upon receipt at this office
of the original certificate representing payment
therefor."
Thereupon he telegraphed asking for an extension
of time, and received a reply from Assistant Secre?
tary <'ur:'.s:
"Your application for an extension of time Is de?
clined by tne Department."
Mr. (Jiav.s called up the office of the Secretary
of the Treasury on the telephone the otf.er day and
asked for the Sccmary. John G. Carlisle. Mr. Car?
lisle was out. Mr. Curtis came to the telephone, and
after a little shut Mr. Graves off by saying:
"We do not do business over the telephone."
It was said that the Morgan syii?llcate had de
postted gold in the Sub-Treasury and banks acting
as depoBltorles to cover the allotment to them of
bonds on which there had been a default by the
or.glnal bidders
