Stockholm cablegrams say that
Norway Is massing troops on tho fron
tier and that "it is feared that Nor
way is determined to precipitate a
rupture by declining to accept tho
clause of the Swedish ultimatum de
manding the dismantling of tho fron
tier forts."
Startling developments have been
made before New York's legislative
committee charged with the investi
gation of tho insurance companies. A
dispatch to the Denver News under
date of New York, September 13.
says: "A fair idea of the amount of
money that the policy holders of the
various insurance companies are
robbed of every year was furnished
before the Armstrong legislative com
mitteo today by Treasurer Frederick
Cromwell of the Mutual Life Insur
ance Co. Mr. Cromwell, in compll
ance with a request made several
days ago by Inquisitor Hughes, sub
mitted to the committee a statement
showing the syndicates of which ho
had been a member in the last five
years and from which the Mutual
purchased bonds. This statement
shows that during that period Mr.
Cromwell made a profit of $25,371.52,
or more than $5,000 a year. It is fair
to assume that all tho officers, trus
tees and directors or tho company
have profited by these transactions.
It has been admitted that most of
them have been members of the syn
dicates referred to. Practically the
same situation 'exists In the other in
surance companies. In the Equitable
the J. H. Hyde and associates cor
poration furnished a striking instance.
Mr. Hughes has already shown that
the New York Life is no better than
the others. It is no exaggeration to
say that millions have found their way
into the pockets of the cliques which
control the insurance companies. This
has been so strikingly demonstrated
to tho investigating committee that it
has already been decided to recom
mend a remedy in the shape of dras
tic legislation at the coming session."
China becomes extinguished to tho
satisfaction of tho administration,
steps will bp taken ror tho negotia
tion of a now treaty to cover tho pro
visions of tho exclusion act passed
by congress a year or so ago. The
initiative in tho matter will doubt
less bo taken by tho Chinese minister
at the capital. Mr. itockhlll, the
American minister at Pokln, has re
ported that, while considerable feel
ing against Americans lias recently
been exhibited in China, the commer
cial boycott is on the wane and that
no further troublo In this respect need
bo feared by American exporters.
Present indications looking to a new
treaty between tho "United States and
China will be resumed this fall."
