Englard Fears Useless Pay- ment of Enormous Subsidies. LONDON, April 25.—The statements re- garding the intentions of the managers of the Atlantic shipping combine vary with each edition of almost every news- paper here, and most of them entirely lack even the semblance of authenticity; but they serve to enhance the general re which is fully voiced by the startling newspaper posters and headlines. Shipping circles express satisfaction with the announcement of Arnold-Foster, Secretary of the Admiralty, of the ap- | pointment of a committee to inquire into the whole subject, as affecting the Ad- miralty. Much is made of the fact that the Inman line steamers C of Paris (now the American line steamer Phila- delphia) and the City of New York (now the American line steamer of New York), after receiving $134,750 in subsidies, were transferred to the American flag, | and it is contended that tiere is' noth- Ng to prevent a repetition of such action. The Westminster Gazette, however, so- laces itself with the thought that if the law by which only American built ships are entitled to fly the American flag is repealed, the British, as ship builders, stand to gain what they lose as ship owners. Sir James Fortesque-Flannery, M. P., an associate of Lloyds, and former presi- dent of the Institution of Marine Engi- neers, takes a serious view of the situa- tion. He says the present movement is part of a well defined scheme in Ameri- can mercantile and naval circles, the ulti- mate objeci of which is to fostér Ameri- can ship bullding. He sees in the new ship building yards important factors in the fast maturing project for enlarging the American navy, which, he consiae ed in proportion to the present enormous enlargement of the American mercantile marine. Furthr questions in the House of Com- mons to-day on the subject of the ship- ping combine elicited i rmation ing that the Government was g Steps to cope with the situation, whicn evidently was offic! considered detri- Britain. The president of the Board of Trade, Gerald Balfour, said the Board of Trade had no officia information _about the combine, but plenty of unofficial inteiligence had reach- The effect of such a com- bination on British shipping generally would receive the careful attention of the board, but any informal inquiry would be premature. “No information regarding the arrangements made by the Ameri- can_ syndicate to control the Atlantic traffic, including passenger, freight and other charges, and the movements of the vessels largely belonging to British com- panies, had been submitted to the board before the arrangements were made. As to steps to secure the commercial and political interests of the United King- dom, and to prevent foreign interference with British shipping, conflicting with en- gagements made with the Admiralty, the matter had occupied, and is occupying, the Government's attention. The Secretary of the Admiralty, reply- Norman, Liberal, said the attention of the Admiralty had been called to the formation of the Atlantic shipping combine or trust, with a capi- tal of $170,000,000, mostly held in the United States, and with registered offices in America. The Secretary was informed that twenty-eight British trans-Atlantic steamships were controlled by this com- them being three teamers and five others wl at the Admiralty’s dis R without subsidy. The White Star Iine gave the Admiralty no notice of its in- tention to enter the combination. —o BRITISH PRESS ALARMED. Sees Danger to England in Steamship Combine. LONDON, April 2.—The papers this morning give first place to comment on the Atlantic shipping combination, pub- lishing all kinds of statements and alarm- ist editorials on the political bearings of the combine. Thus, the Morning Post, dealing with the subject in the light of the danger of Great Britain losing her sea su- premacy, says these things ought to have een foreseen. If there had been, several years ago, a proper strategical department at the Ad- miralty, much that has been dene detri- mental to Great Britain would have been prevented,” says the Post. The paper conclude “When at last Great Britain has been peacefully annexed by the United States there wiil be rejoicing over the reunion of the English-speaking peoples and over the fact that their old home has been saved from conquest by Germany. The Economist says it thinks the amal- gamation is not so important in itself as in suggesting a greater combination of failway and shipping interests of capital and influence on the America side, which could not fail to have a most disastrous effect on British maritime interests. The Times announces that the shipping combine corporation is now in process of organization, the issue stock having been underwritten here and in America, and that the promoters are ready to extend | the capital to £40,000,000. The paper says also that the Cunard line will probably enter the combine, forcing the smaller lines to follow. In an editorial deprecating the alarmist views on the subject and tending to de- fend the combine, the Times refers to the wild suggestions of the necessity of Gov- ernment interference and declines to see that it will seriously diminish Great Brit- ain’s command of the sea The Times admits that the question of subsidized liners is important and re- guires further elucidation. The paper hints that the enormous business expan- sion of an activity in the United States is not taking an altogether healthy and safe form and that the big combine in business may be easily overdone. The Times further understands that pressure will be brought: upon the Goy- ernment to represent to Lord Pauncefote, the British Embassador at Washington, the urgency of obtaining a report. as to the extent and organization of trusts in the United States and their effect upon commercial transactions.

NEW YORK, April 2.—Archbishop Cor- rigan, who is seriously fll of pneumonia at his residence in this city, according to the last bulletin. issued at 10:15 o’clock to- night, passed a fair day and in the opin- fon of the physicians his condition is en- couraging.

NEW ORLBEANS, April 2%.—The steamer Bunrise, Captain Frank Scovel, of the Red River Line, burned to the water's edge at her wharf here just before daylight. gnme of the passengers and crew had narrow escapes, but all were saved. The boat carried considerable freight, which was badly damaged. The Sunrise was valued at $25,000, with Insurance of $12,000. . | | .lr?oad Is Opened and Traffic Is Resumed With Big Success The Auspicious Event Causes Rejoicing Among Employes HE residents along the Geary street line were in a goud humor yesterday, the occasion being the reopening of the railway after an interruption of five days. The resounding gongs and grinding noise of iron wheels sounded as the softest music to the ears of the footsore people near the park, who had for five days been do- ing pedestrian stunts against their will. The scene about the carhouse of the company 1 animated one at 5 a. m., when the emploves to the number of nearly seventy reported for duty. Each man wore his badge and all were in the best spirits at the prospect of getting back to their runs. The first car to leave the house was in charge of Condu M. Harrington and Motorman W. C. Fisher. The resumption of traffic was not only profitable to the company, but it relleved the press of travel on {he California- street line. Immense crowds rode down- town before 9 o'clock, the greater part of these being residents of the district far to the south of Geary street and the west end of Point Lobos avenue. EXTRA CARS PUT ON. In order to accommodate the great travel eight extra cars were put on, mak- ing the total for the day twenty-six. The cars were run at intervals of three min- L i e i SO RC R OR SRR PSS MAGNATES PLAN GREAT RAILIWAY Independent Line Is to Eventually Cross the Continent. DENVER, April 25—0. L. chairman of the board of directors of the company owning the Atlantlc and Pa- cific (“Brick” Pomeroy) tunnel, has an- nounced that the construction of the tun- rel, piercing Gray’s Peak, will be resumed as soon as the snow is off the ground. This decisfon was reached at a meeting of the directors in this city. Snyder said, further, that a corps of surveyors wili | start out from Denver this spring to select a route for a railroad to Salt Lake which will run through the tunnel. It is also expected to develop mines by means of the tunnel. A new company known as the Denver and Salt Lake Railway, Mining and Tun- nel Company, with a capital of $5,000,000, has been incorporated here to build the tunnel. The incorperators are Henry J. O'Bryan, Dr. John F. Eliiott, John J. Reilley, H. 8. McDowell, H. W, Hannum and Herbert George of Denver; James 1 Rotehford of Syracuse, N. ; John Bleekman of New York City and M. W.

The employes went to work with a will and throughout the day they expressed their satisfaction at the result of thelr conference with the officials of the line. They conversed good-naturedly with the patrons of the road, but not a bitter word was expressed against anyone in author- ity. The men say they went out for the sake of the union and that the recogni- tion of that privilege by their employers compensated them for the time lost up to- date. The new arrangement with the men will date from yesterday. That is to say that whatever agreement the carmen and offi- States and carries behind him the capital to carry out all our ideas. These ideas are rather startling. What would you say to a railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific, entirely independent of any of the transcontinental lines? This is our ultimate aim arnd such a road will be bullt. It will use our tunnel.” NEW YORK MERCHANTS VISIT THE PRESIDENT Chairman of the Delegation Says Pleasant Things About Roose- velt and the South. WASHINGTO. April 25.—The Presi- dent to-day received a delegation consist- irg of members of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation of New York, the Chamber of Commerce and the Cotton Exchange, ac- ompanied by ladies. The delegation is on its way home from a visit to the Charles- ton Exposition and numbered about forty. Willlam F. King, chairman of the dele- gation from the Merchants’ Association, addressed tho President, saylng among Cther things: During our stay deeply touched by in Charleston we were the many cordial and feel- ing expressions we received and which you aroused by your visit to the exposition. At a banguet which we attended every one spoke most feelingly of you. I believe the exposition is a new day for the South. The President responded as follows: Mr. King, Ladies and Gentlemen: I appre- clate very inuch your visit to me and I am glad you were down at Charleston. I was deeply touched by the reception I met there—a recep. tion not personal to me, but given to me as representing the nation, to which all of us belong, and all the parts of which and the suc- cess of any part of which are matters of pride for every one of us everywhere. 1 feel In the strongest way that nothing can be more im- portant than the building up of the great in- dustrial interests of the South, through just such an organization as vou represent here to- day. T thank you for calling upon me. You represent bodles of the kind that have made New York's greatness what it is. As regards what Mr. King sald concerning the expressions used by the people of. Charleston about me, I can only say that I am going to do fd best to serve them and to do all I can in keeping up } the wonderful prosperity. materfal and moral, of our country. (Applause).

In any event the em- ployes of this line are the gainers and they are fllled with great satisfaction in consequence. PLAIT IS GRATIFIED. President Horace G. Platt said yester- day that he was glad the line was again in operation. He insists the men on th's line would have never gone out but for a misunderstanding. The men were under the impression that the line was controlled by the United Railroads, and when they discovered their error, accord- ing to Platt, they were more than eager to settle the strike by means of a con- ference. “We lost a few thousand dollars by the strike,” resumed Platt, ‘“but the experi- ence was worth it. I presume. We suc- ceeded in making the acquaintance of our employes and managed to learn some- thing about practical railroading. We will grant all concessions made by the United Railroads to their employes. In gaining this promise from us the carmen of our line have won what we would have conceded to them without striking. It was a little misunderstanding, but it is settled now and that ends it.” Platt expressed the opinion that (he general strike would be adjusted within a short time.

DALLAS, Tex., April 25.—When the last session of the Confederate Veterans’ con- vention was called to order to-day a reso- lution by Commander-in-Chief John B.

General Gordon sald in re- sponse: “‘Comrades, I have been touched many times and every year this old Confederate heart grows more tender and loving as the end approaches. When the end comes, I want your hands to bury me and on my tomb I would have written, ‘Here lies 2 Confederate.’ ”* X A vote of thanks was given to Dallas, to the State of Texas and to the ladles of Texas for their hospitality.

Present Holdings of the Island Froduct to Be Ex- DELAY JNNDYS THE PRESIDENT |Roosevelt Anxious That . Canal Question Be | Settled. Colombian and Nicaraguan Offers Ready for amined. WASHINGTON, April Committee on Cuba to-day decided to in- the charge that the greater part of the present crop of Cuban sugar is held by the sugar trust of this couniry, directed by the resolu- ticn introduced in the Senate by Teller on th inzt. The action of the committee was favor- able only to the rirst half of the resolu- tion, which provides for an inquiry affect- ing the present holdings of Cuban sugar. It was decided to strike out that pertion of the resolution requiring an investiga- tion of the normal cost of making sugar in Cuba and also into the general ques- | tion of reciprocity with Cuba. The com- mittee held that those guestiogs are al- ways before the commitice and to adopt that portion of the resolution would be equivalent to instructing the committee to perform its ordinary duties. Z A provision was added empowering the comrmittee to send for persons and papers, and a sub-committee, consisting of Sena- tors Piatt of Connecticut, Burnham and Teller, was appeinted to hear the testi- mony. Senator Platt announced that it was his purpose to extend ail facilities to the planters would not get the berefit of the proposed reduction in duties, to prove these charges, adding that ne would do all in his power to render the inquiry ex- haustive. The resolution was adopted and the preamble upon which it is based fol- lows: Whereas, It b nearly the entire crop of Cuban sugar has been purchased and is now held by what is generally known as the “sugar trust,” whi n is the principal consumer of raw sugar in the and that any concessions given ers of cane sugar in the island of measures intended for their relief by admitting their sugar at reduced rates of duty into the United ates will only benefit the =aid sugar trust, and that the Cubans will receive no real benéfit from such concessions; and Whereas, It is alleged that a large number of citizens of the United States have acquired large holdings of cane-producing lands in Cuba, and are now especially urging the reduction of duty on sugar under the claim that such re- duction will benefit the people of Cuba; there- fore be it Resolved, That the Committee on Relations with Cuba be, and ‘hereby is, directed to make an investigation as to the truth of such charges and report to the Senate.

Both propoesiticns will be at once sub- mitted to Congress. The President is ex- ceedingly anxious, whatever determina- tion Congress may come to as to the rela- tive merlts of the two routes, that some decision may be reached at this session. A comparison of the outlines of the agreements or treaties made by the State | Department with Colombia in relation to | the Panama canal and with Nicaragua and Costa Rica as to the canal shows a general resemblance in the | scope of the arrangements, but important differences in details. One point of resemblance is the amount of money to be paid down at once by the United States Government to the coun- try making the concession. In each case this is $7,000,000. If the Panama route is chosen Colombia gets all of this money It the choice falls on the Nicaragua route, ragua will receive $6,000,000 and Costa $1,000,000. A good deal of the delay has occurred in consummating the arrangements was owing to the difficulty | in reaching a basis of division as between | Nicaragua and Costa Rica and this is gen- | erally fixed upon as about six to one in | favor of caragua. | No provision is made in the Colombian | protocol for the payment of any annual | rent. That matter will be left to future adjustment, though, of course, it is ex- | pected that some rent will be charged. }Tho agreements as to the Nicaraguan | that canal, however, specifically state the rent to be paid, which is $30,000 per annum, of which Nicaragua will get $25,000 and Costa Rica $5000. While this - rent is merely | nominal, it serves a useful purpose in the | estimate of the isthmian repubiics, name- 1y to continually assert the nominal sover- eignty of Nicaragua and Costa Rica over the territory through which the canal is cut. The original proposition was to pay a lump sum representing the capitalization of this rent for 100 years, but the repub- lics prefer to have the money paid yearly in recognition of their sovereignty and in consideration of the allowance of their wish in this matter _hey have gone to the length of making the lease to the United States perpetual as against the 10-year renewable lease of the Colomblan agree- ment. Neither of the Ministers—Nicaraguan or Costa Rican—has yet received the full powers from his Government necessary to the perfection of the treaties. PUBLIC BUILDING BILL CARRIES A VAST SUM Omnibus Measure Including Appro- priations for Federal Structures Prepated for Debate. WASHINGTON, April 25.—Representa- tive Mercer of Nebraska will introduce in the House to-morrow the omnibus public butlding bill agreed upon by his commities and on next Monday a special rule will be presented to the House for consideration of the bill on Tuesday. The rule will pro- vide for three hours’' debate and a vote without opportunity for amendment. The bill will carry authorizations for public buildings in every State of the Union ex- cept Delaware and Idaho, for which States no bills were introduced.” In all there ara 173 authorizations in the bill. aggregating $15,500,000. No new postoffice is provided for New York City, but the bill authorizes a committee consisting of the Secretary of the Treasury, Postmaster General and At- torney General to select a site in the borough of Manhattan. In the following cities the limit of cost of public buildings is_increased: Denver, from $500,000 to $700,000; Butte, $225.000 to $275,000; Leadville, $75,000 to $55.000; Seattle. $750.000 to $900,000. An ap- propriation of $700,000 is made for a build- ing in San Francisco on ground now owned by the Government. An appro- priation of $125.000 is made from Ogden. Utah, on condition that a e is sold lo the United States at a nominal cost. The following appropriations are made for bulldings and sites: Colorado Springs, Colo, $135,000; Fresno, Cal., $100,000; Reno, , $60,000." Appropriations are made for sites as follows: Spokane, Wash., $60,000; Tacoma. Wash.. $60.000. Provision is made for enlarging the present site at Los An- geles, Cal._ at a cost of $150,000, or for acquiring & new site with suitable build- | ing, the entire limit of cost to be $500,000.
