THE REoRoANizED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge OF
The company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers c.
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life In
surance men. The new president is
Darwin p. Kingsley, college bred
man of good New England stock. who
has been in the company's service in
variety of capacities for a period OF
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
Of life insurance. he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president OF the COM
pany Is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter OF century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service. each an expert in his own de-
partment Of work. VIM. E. Ingersoll.
who has for many years had charge
Of the company's great business in
Europe. is one Of the second vice pres
ldents. and will continue at the head
Of the company's office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years. ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders. alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them. have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true In the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had 32,000.000,000 insurance on
Its books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
Of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$3.50. 100000 year (which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did,, the company's outstanding busi-
ness still exceeds $4,000, 100000.
Policyholders generally will be still
further reassured by this action of the
Board. as 1t places at the head Of the
company to protect their interests men
Of thorough training and unexception-
able character.

Sir wilfrid Laurier, the Canadi

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian
premier, has lately suggested that the
Imperial government grant subsidies
ito ships plying between the British
colonies and the mother country, and
in that way give a preference to trade
within the empire. The present lib.
eral government of the United King
dom will not grant to the colonies a
preferential tariff. and the advocates
'of imperial union are urging the ac-
complishment of preference in another
way.
