There is no question, says the New
Voice, but what Il bushel of corn made
up into whisky will create more ex-
element than if fed to a cow.
One buShel of grain fed to Il cow will
not make very much meat, but the in
ternal revenue records of last year
showed that each bushel of grain used
in making distilled spirits averaged 4.46
gallons.
When the balance sheet is struck of
the profits of each years whisky bust
ness the following is the approximate
proceeds of each bushel of grain:

Russia Will Now Proceed to 'TOte

Russia VIII Now Proceed to "TOte
 FalrIy' With Japan.
 St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.-Russia is determined that the work commenced yesterday in administrative circles to- ward putting into effect the articles of the peace treaty shall be carried on in a spirit of fairness and equity and with the desire to avoid all possible fric- ton or misunderstanding. This work includes a new treaty of commerce be. tween the two countries. the establish ment of line dividing the Island of Sakhalin, the definition of the Man churian frontier, the cession of Rus sian privileges in Manchuria, a work ing arrangement whereby through trains and freight may pass from the Russian to the Japanese section of the railroad the arrangement of freight and passenger rates. the return of Jap anese prisoners and vice versa; the payment for the maintenance of them by each country, etc.
 The resumption of actual diplomatic relations between the two countries will greatly facilitate these works and personal relations can be resumed im- mediately after the exchange of tele- graphic negotiations from St. Peters burg and Toklo of the ratification of the treaty.

 Frederick Cromwell, Treasurer or the Mutual Life, was recalled He explain ed that in a syndicate in which the Mutual Life was concerned, the insur- ance company got all the profit. If any member of the Finance Committee went into it privately 1t was through some banking house and not through the Mu- tual. ~.%
 The Mutual he said, has 2.o00 shares in the Morton Trust Company, ana keeps a deposit there right along of $4o0, 900 or $500,0O0. against which 1t does not draw and has not drawn since 1899. .~ ~ MT. Cromwell explained these large deposits by pointing out that on all the stock the Mutual held 1t had a pront of $22, 2,0O0, ,00O, and that its trust com many stock formed a very large propor- tion of this. The deposits in the trust company helped largely to support the trust company and they considered they were Justified in maintaining these de- posits in order to assist the prosper ity. of these companies. He regarded the investments in trust companies as very profitable. would it be fair to assume that syn dicate transactions are gotten up for the benefit of the managers?' the wit ness was asked.
 "Without any question" he replied.
 Now what good are trust companies. You are known as holders of large money. You must have many applica- tions for loans. we don't hear of the loans we wish to invest in-in railroad companies and other large transactions.
 The Japanese bond issue came up for special mention and MT. Cromwell said he was in 1t as well as the Mutual and with a profit of quarter of million dollars. He often went into syndicates when the Mutual had gone in first.
 You don't think that after using vour best judgment on Investments for the Mutual Life syndicate transactions there is any impropriety in your mak- ing money out of the same transac- tions?"
 No" ...
 MT. Cromwell said he was a member of the syndicate which handled the Japanese bonds. The Mutual was buy ing bonds from the syndicate and in the transaction in which Kuhn. Loeb & Co acted as promoters he acknowledged having bought fifty ponds himself. and as far as he knew other members of the Finance Committee of the Mutual Life bought in iividual holdings and re- ceived in iividually their share Of the profit made by selling the bonds to the Mutual
 It developed that the Mutual received per cent on its deposits In the Morton Trust Company.
