Without his knowledge— snd perhaps it la a thing of otter indifference to him—policies have been issued on his life to security holders in England amounting perhaps j 130,000,000.

The cost of telegraphing by the wireless system will, Tesla sayv. be much less than by the cable system, and messages may be sent much more quickly- Through the use of certain artifices it will be made impossible for a receiver in Calcutta, (or instance, to take up the currents carrying a message from New- York to London, and in time of war one belligerent will not be able to interfere with or take advantage of the messages of the other belllgereut. , Whole gSMtlon tttltsf. on Aatlon New Tork, Feb.

Kennedy for the murder of Dolly Reynolds when Justice Fursman refused to admit the testimony of William J. Kinsley, an expert in handwriting. The basis of the refusal was that Mr. Kinsley was not familiar with the handwriting of the defendant and was not competent to compare the disputed writing of-the defendant with that conceded to be his. The justice held that the testimony of handwriting experts could be admitted only when the'writing exhibited was the actual subject of disputc. The writings exhibited in this case, he said, were merely pieces of evidence. The justice's decision, which has caused a sensation in legal circles, was taken to have an .important bearing on tho Molincux case, in whigh expert testimony greatly contributed to the conviction. Besides Mr. Kinsley three other experts were called to testify as to bandwriting, but the court's ruling barred them out. The holding* of what might be called Morgan securities abroad are ao large an to be incalculable.

The committee has unanimously agreed that some change in the creed statement is necessary, but is divided as to the character of this change, and msjority and minority reports will be presented to the general assembly. There were 13 of the 16 members present, and a majority agreed to recommend that a change should be made by a supplemental explanatory statement to cover certain points in the confession of faith and also to include statements as to the doctrinesof the holy spirit, missions and the love of God for all men. The report of the minority will recommend a supplementary statement of doctrine without being restricted to specific and limited points in the confessiou, but in entire harmony with the system of doctrine contained in the creed. The committee has adjourned sine die, and no ftirther meetings are anticipated before the session of the general assembly next May, when it probably will be dissolved. ♦oK Children's Photos. |t— aa« MkW Otrtiown «« Stoek.

Insurance men here are surprised at the rush for policies over there; but, as a rule, refuse to discuss the schemc. No American companies ever issue policies on this plan, and doubt is expressed whether tb« total on Mr. Morgan's life in England has reached anywhere near $20,000,000. While it Is a common thing there to Insure the life of a person in whom one is interested financially the fact Is pointed out that the laws there are strict in limiting the amount to be Issued by any one company. Washington, Feb. 15.—Secretary Gage says that the question of imnosing a countervailing duty on sugar -imported Into the United States from Russia is greatly Involved, and in view of the importance of the case and of all the facts he did not believe that the ipse dixit of any one person should be final. Congress, he says, has established the board of general appraisers whose specific duty it is to settle just such questions as have arisen in the Russian augar case. It is a board of experts thoroughly conversant with all the custom laws of the country and has authority to summon witnesses and is in every way well fitted to determine all the facts. He therefore had taken the necessary step to bring it before the board. The secretary says further that no one can be wronged by his recent decision and that when the first case is hcpught before the board he will make a request that it be given preference over all other business with a view to an early decision.
