In the first place tbe oats were large. Their color waa gray, so far as the body was concerned, but their feet and legs were pure white. The ladies were awaiting tue arrival of tbe omnibus for tne Bock Island train, bad not much time at their disposal, and being pretty no one thought of questioning them, aitbough curiosity was excited.

At was expected from the Importance ot the business to be the meeting esterday of the Chicago Fire Underwriters' Association drew out a very large representation of the membership. It was an ad journed meeting from last week to hear the report of the committee appointed to in vestigate the advisability of so amending the constitution and by-laws ot the associa tion as to allow members to pay commission of "0 per cent to brokers for business obtained in the suburbs ou dwellings, aud to expunge from eectioa of the by-laws tbe clause: "Brokers desiring admission to this association must be persona whose prin cipal business is tnat ot nre thus opening the chanoe to any one to solicit business and obtain commissions. The coairman of the committee read the first section, which provided tor the 20 per cent limit in oomimasiona judge Davis nrst spoke upon the Question.

taking strong ground against the increase, and tuat tue entire rescinding or tne rates on stores and dwellings would be a leaser evil than the adoption of tula section. He referred also to the lack of principle involved in the proposed letting in of everybody to the ranks of class 2, the brokers. Tbe associa tion had agreed from the beginning that only those whose principal business was in- auiance should uecome members, ids brokers had, on this pledge In the constitution. Joined, paid their money, signed the constitution, and subscribed to all the ruies ox tue association, to let in every body now, whether an Insurance broker by profession or not, would, be a pieoe of bad faith to which hef could not subscribe, and which tbe association could not adopt and live.

It soon be came very plain that the adherents ot toe proposed amendment were tew and far between. A vote was taken on tbe commission ciauae. and only nine members favored It, This ao effectually diaplayed the opposition to tue second clause letting down the bars to the general public, that the rest ot the re port was laid on the table indefinitely. An amendment to tbe ameudment.

permitting only insurance brokers and real estate ami loan agents to Join class 2. was not seconded. Two turns only have suoagents ot the latter class, ana it was the sense of tbe majority that inasmuch as tbe association had refused to change the rule it sbouid be strictly enforced, aud the two firms impeacbed for violating tbe by-laws. The fact that, aa stated in luc Imtxh Ockaji of Sunday last, tbe brokers had held an indignation meeting and forma. la ted a series of resolutions to be presented to the association may have inttueuotd some of the votes against the amendment, but most of the members evidently believed that its adoption would be a positive injustice to the brokers, and they would not have supported it under any circumstances.

Tne threats of certain influential members Of Class 1 that tney would withdraw unless the amendment was adopted will not, in the opinion 01 most of the underwriters, be carried out A number of them go so far as to say that the adoption of tn amendments proposed would have resulted Ultimately in the destruction of the association.
