and assembly of the state Of New YORK
appointed to investigate the a1airs o.
the life insurance companies was pre-
sented to the Legislature during lhe

The report was accompanied by
eight bills designed to carry into eHecI
In detail the recommendations OF the
committee.
One of the most important OF the
laws regulating mutual companies ana
recommended by the committee looks
to the giving to policyholders OF all
opportunity to elect entirely ne"
boards of directors as soon as the pro-
visions of such law can be MADE ap~
plicable. To that end the committee
recommends q special act providing
for the expiration of the terms OF once
of existing directors OF such colh
panies on Nov. Is next and that the
annual meetings which would other-
wise he held at an earlier date shouio
be postponed to that time. In thls
way 1t will be possible for lists or poi
lcyholders to be filed under the stat
ute, for nominations to be made ana
for the policyholders to cast their
votes In person. by proxy or by mail,
as they may desire. All existing proX'
les should be declared void so that no
proxies should be voted at such eiec-
tion other than those which are given
under the statute within two months
prior thereto The first election
nhould be under the supervision OF the
superintendent Of insurance, VINO
should be directed to appoint lnspec-
tors of election and see that 1t Is con-
Quoted according to law.
The new boards of directors should
divide themselves into two classes SO
that thereafter one-half OF the board
may be elected annually, and errors
In MANAGEMENT promptly corrected.
Aa the annual election in one of these
cornpanies would otherwise take place
In April it is important that this spe-
cial act should be passed Immediately
In a state nent made to newspaper
men before the presentation OF the re-
port Senator Armstrong said he hoped
10 have passed before April Is the bill
which will defer the annual elections
In the mutual companies from April
l6 to Nov. Is. This, 1t is believed.
nrobabiy would nullify all proxies OBJ

ment of tie companies themselves
have been gathering through their

DESIRES TO CONTINUE At PEACE

Berlin, Feb. 23.-The reichstag dur
ing the day passed the first and sec
ond readings, without amendment, OF
.he governments proposal to extend
reciprocal tariff rates to the United
States until June so. 1907.
Chancellor Won Buelow opened the
debate on the proposal. The house
was thinly occupied, scarcely more
than seventy members being in thel
seats. Ambassador Tower and Sec
ond Secretary Garrett of the American
embassy were alone in the diplomatic
gallery.
The chancellor said that the impe-
rial government asked the reichstas
to authorize the application OF the
treaty rates to the United States not
as a right under the most favored ma
ton Interpretation, but in order that
the negotiations pending might still
be conducted to a satisfactory end ana
because Ii was in the interest OF both
countries to avoid tariff war. The
chancellor said he placed high value
on good political relations between
Germany and the United States, Whlch
were a blessing to both lands, but II
would be deceptive to believe that he
would buy political friendship by the
sacrifice of Germany's economic inter
ests. The grounds of the govern
ment's proposals were that a tarin
war. which must only be resorted to
In case of necessity, would damage not
only Germany's shipping interests but
other important departments of indus
try. Although the United States would
be injured in its exports, which haa
grown considerably. the advantage OF
such a war would rest with a third
country. The chancellor presumably
meant Great Britain.
Regarding the length of the period
of the tariff arrangement the chan
cellor said that longer time might
have the appearance OF a definite set
tlement, while shorter one would not
afford time for overcoming the dlHicut-
ties In the way of commercial treaty.
He reminded the reichstag that Ger
manys negotiation of treaties with
other states had not always progressed
smoothly and had extended over long
periods.
I'VE are therefore forced" said the
chancellor, ito ask parliament to con-
sent to this proposal so that We may
continue in peace with the United
States. The note of the American
secretary of state, Mr.. Root, to Am
bassador Sternburg on Tuesday shows
that the United States has the same
desire for friendly commercial and
political relations that We have
