It is generally believed among those interested
in this subject that the passage OF the resolution
by the Senate will have the effect Of upholding
the hands of Great Britain. which is disposed to
conduct an investigation OF affairs in the Congo
on her own account. It is regarded likely that
Great Britain. having thus received the moral sup

MUTUAL MANAGER OUT.
Henry Hudson Oldest an Service on
Com pangs List.

Henry Hudson. who for the last twenty years
or SO has been manager of an agency OF tho
Mutual Life Insurance Company, at No. 20 Lib
erty street. resigned his position yesterday. Mr..
Hudson is said to be the Oldest manager in point
of service on the company's list George E. Dex-
ter, vice-president Of the Mutual Life. said last
night that Mr.. Hudson had given no reason for
his resignation and that he supposed it to be
due to the reduction of 30 per cent in commits
sions which the company had ordered to go into
effect on January l. and which is made neces-
sary, Mr.. Dexter said, by the stringency of the
new insurance laws.
He said however, that within few days Mr..
Hudson had quarrelled with Supervisor Bell in
the main office of the company. 1t is understood
on good authority that one of the reasons for
Mr.. Hudsons resignation is dissatisfaction with
the administrations campaign methods, and is In
line with the recent dismissal of five agency
managers and the resignation Of another for al
legged INSTRUMENTATION.
In connection with the reduction in commits
sions Mr.. Dexter added that he expected at least
thousand agents to resign between now and
January This will reduce the company's field
force about one-eighth Mr. Hudson could not
be reached.
