cable from f. j. Watson, Commissioner
of Agriculture and Immigration of South

tation with the agents of the steamship
company. Mr.. Watson has been for sew
eral months preparing the way for this de-
parture, and the date of the sailing of
the first ship, it is understood, is left for
him to determine. In talk with re-
porter before he sailed for Europe Mr..
Watson said that the steamship companies
were cooperating earnestly with the gov
eminent authorities in an endeavor TO
solve the immigration problem, and that
this was only the beginning of the move
ment to build up the agricultural sections
of the United States with the overflow
of Europe's population and to relieve the
congestion in the great cities.

The first decision rendered by ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland as referee for the
big three life insurance companies viii
prevent English policy holders from con-
tinuing TO get a reduction on account of
the income tax law, and will result in a
big saving to the companies. According
TO the English law, those who were sub
ject to the payment of an income tax are
allowed to deduct the amount paid for
them for life insurance premiums on Eng
lish policies. but not on American policies.
Consequently, the American companies
have been in the habit of absorbing this
tax by granting a rebate. Mr.. Cleveland
holds that this can no longer be done un-
der the new rebate law. One effect will
be to curtail the amount of foreign BUSH
ness.
