INhis forty-ninth report the condition of
the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany the president sets out in striking words
the reasons for the company's phenomenal
success. What has brought it TO this point has
been the extreme conservatism and the abso-
lutte high-class business principles that have
characterized its management these many
years. 1t is not the object of the company to
do more business than any of its competitors:
the report shows how this "racer" enterprise
fails in the end and entails losses. On the
other hand, an even, unsensational business
policy that looks after the interests of the
policy holders and that strives constantly to
reduce the cost of insurance and to increase
the stability of the company and the sound
ness of the policies is what has won success
and is yearly demonstrating the correctness
of the principle. To-day the Connecticut Mu-
tual Company has so great business that size
or growth is a thing that its management does
not unduly strive for. Tontine schemes have
no place in its economy and are Stunned. The
report very clearly sets forth the devices re-
sorted to by ''investment'' companies to secure
business and shows the fallacy of anything
like investment coming out of any companies
that take Is to % cents for expenses out of
every dollar that comes in. The great merit in
administration is to take as little money as
possible from its members, to do business as
cheaply as possible and to make the annual
payments as small as possible. This is the
principle of the Connecticut Mutual. To-day
it has surplus of sc, S76 600 Its member
ship numbers $4,000. During its existence
the company has paid nearly $4,000, 900 in
death claims.

Court News.

The case of Charles Sledd, charged
with being member of the mob that
hung Tom Blair on New Years morn
ing, was filed away yesterday. When
the case was called in the Circuit Court
the Commonwealth Attorney stated
that he had no other evidence to offer
than was presented in the Roach and
Forman cases and that was not suffi-
cient to convict He therefore moved
to file the case away. This ends
the prosecution in the Blair lynching
cases we suppose.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
A Forecast of the Document-An
Aggressive Foreign Pol

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 16.-President Cleve-
lands annual message to Congress, the
preparation of which will soon engage
his attention, will be a most noteworthy
state paper, according to a special dis
patch from Washington to the Times
Herald. It will be more sensational and
perhaps of far greater Importance than the
many observers think changed the his
tory of parties in this country.
The principal feature Of the forthcom-
ing message will be the discussion of the
foreign relations. It is expected by those
who have the Presidents confidence that
he will deal vigorously with all the diplo-
matte questions now demanding atten-
ton, as vigorously as the developments
in those matters may at the moment
justify. It is we'll known that the Presi-
dent is eager for reply from Great
Britain concerning this cOuntry's vigor-
Gus representation in favor of arbitration
in Venezuela, and he wants this reply
before the meeting of Congress if he can
get it.
More important even than these imme-
date questions, considering the future of
the United States, is the policy of over
sea enterprise which the President is eX-
pected to foreshadoW in his message. If
the expectations of certain of Mr.. Cleve-
lands confidential friends are realized,
he will say to Congress and the country
that the time has come for new Ameri-
can policy, policy of aggressiveness,
both political and commercial beyond
this country's own coast lines.

NO SWITCHING CHARGES.
Made at the Chicago
Stockyards Are Held to
IIln0aI-

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 15.-Railroads cen
tering in Chicago have no legal right to
make switching or terminal charges for
delivering livestock or other traffic at
the Union stockyards. The state board
of railroad and warehouse commissioners
handed down it's decision to that effect
today. The case Immediately at issue
was that of James Brown of Dwight,
ILL.,, against the Chicago & Alton rail-
road. 1t was brought as a test case
and is understood TO dispose of all the
points that can be raised in connection
with the matter. 1t affects not only
every railroad centering in Chicago but
every livestock shipper in the West.
A similar case was brought some time
ago against the Santa Fe railroad in
the United States circuit court. 1t was
heard by Judge Grosscup, who in an
elaborate opinion held that the switching
or terminal charge, or whatever it might
be called, was wholly illegal and the
railroads had no right to make it. An
appeal was taken in that case and is now
pending in the United States circuit court
of appeals. Meantime the roads have
paid no attention to Judge Grosscup's
decision, but have gone on making the
charges

Japan.

the rioters entered bedroom and MUIR
dered three women, one of whom is sup
posed to be the Queen of Corea.
Paris, Oct 15.-The Soleil today, COM
menting upon the uprising in Seoul, says:
1.-THE powers, and Russia in particular,
cannot allow Japan to establish a strin-
gent protectorate over Corea. Very dam
gerous complications have arisen which
may compromise the results obtained by
the Intervention of the powers in the set
Element of the China-Japan dispute
The Figaro, referring to the Corean
situation, remarks: 1.-The Coreans do not
want the japanese yoke. Japan is in
nasty position. Her policy has received
a check from which it will have diff
