Hughes, the New York Legislature decided to make no radical changes in the new insurance law. It was pointed out by Gov. Hughes that the New York law has already accomplished wide spread reforms, with proportionate benefits to policyholders, and that it should be given a thorough trial be fore any amendments were seriously It Is estimated that the considered. cost of the mismanagement of the past did not average more than 20 cents to each policyholder, while the benefits to present and future policyholders will amount to many times more and be cumulative besides. The speed craze of the big companies and the excessive coht of securing new business was tbe most extravagant evil of the old managements. Under the new regime the cost of new business has already been greatly reduced, along with other economies. The showing made by the EquItablS Life Assurance Society in its report for 1906 was a strong argument against meddling with the new lAw. In the Equitable alone there was a saving of over $2,000,000 In expenses, besides an Increase In the Income from the Society's assets amounting to as mnch more. The ratios of the Equitable's total expenses to Its total Income was 19.42 In 1904, 17.38 la In 1906. The 1906, and only 14.48 dividends paid to Equitable policyholders In 1906 Amounted to $7,289,734, which waa an increase of more than 9 over 1905. . While the Equitable made a better showing than any other big company, all reported radical economies tad c wmh conditions, the Legislature wisely decided to leave the law substantially as It stands.

Offldal news of this feature reached the state department from one. of Its representative ta Nicaragua, who forwarded tbe explanation of the president of that country of hla participation In the attack of Acajutla. The exasperating feature of President Zelayas message, according to the state department, was the way In which h sought to place upon America and Mexico the respontWl- Ity for the attack upon a friendly state by claiming that It was a necessary step la tbe execution of the plan for a union of the Central American As a matter of fact, a republics. one of the officials pointed out, certainly the United States and probably Mexico would welcome a combination ot tbe little states into ona republic , under some capable head, but It has never for an Instant been contemplated that such a union should be brought about by force. -- ua-de- Forgetting Something.
