ESTAWSATDASTIC SHIP COMBINE IS

nJC - - L
Discussion of the American Scheme
in the House of CommOHi amd
J. , ' the Scwpaper.
LONDON, April 25. The statements re
garding the Intentions of the managers
ofithesAtlantl shipping combine vary
wJtH each edition of almost every news
paper here, and most of them lack even
the semblance of authenticity; but they
serve to enhance the general concern
which Is fully vbiced by the startling
" newspaper posters and headlines. Ship
ping circles express satisfaction with the
announcement yesterday of Mr. Arnold
Foster, secretary of the Admiralty, of
the appointment of a committee to in
quire into the whole subject as affecting
the Admiralty. Much is made of the
fact that the Inman Line steamers City
of Paris (now the American Line steamer
Philadelphia) and the City of New York
(now the American steamer City of New
York), after receiving $134,750 In subsidies,
were transferred to the American flag,
and it Is contended that there is nothing
to prevent a repetition of such action.
The Westminster Gazette, however, so
laces Itself with the thought that if the
Jaw by which only American-built ships
are entitled to fly the American flag shall
be repealed, the British, as shipbuilders,
stand to gain what they lose as ship
owners. Sir James Fortesque-Flannery, M. P.,
an associate of Lloyd's and ex-presldent of
thA institution of Marine Engineers,
takes a serious view of the situation. He
says the present movement is part of a
well-deflned scheme in American mer
cantile and naval circles, the ultimate ob
ject of which is to foster American ship
building. He sees in the new shipbuilding
yards important factors in the fast-maturing
project for enlarging the American
Navy, which he considers must inevitably
be extended in proportion to the present
enormous enlargement of the American
mercantile marine.
- -SOME ALARMIST VIEWS.
London Preas Comment on the Effect
of the Combine.
LONDON. April 26. 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 supremacy,
says .these things ought to have been
foreseen. "If there had been, several
years ago, a proper strategical department
at the Admlrallty. much that has been
done detrimental to Great Britain would
have been prevented," says the Post. The
paper continues: 'When, at last. Great
Britain has been peacefully annexed to
the'Unlted State, there will 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, In a very temperate
article, expresses its belief that there is
no possibility of British ships being
transferred to the American flag. In con
clusion the Economist says It thinks the
amalgamation is not so important In It
self as In "suggesting a greater com
bination of railway and shipping inter
ests of capital and influence in America
which could not fall to have a most dis
astrous effect upon British maritime in
terests." The Times this morning announces that
the shipping combine corporation Is now
an process of organization, the Issue of
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
,LJne will probably enter the combine,
fbrclng; the smaller lines to follow.
In an editorial deprecating the alarmist
views on this subject and tending to de
fend the combine, the Times refers to the
wild suggestions of the ne6esslty of gov
ernment Interference, and declines to see
that It, wjll seriously diminish Great Bri
tain's command of the sea. "Men like
" Mr, Ismay, of the White Star Line, are
not likely, for any consideration, to enter
Into a transaction dangerous to the coun
try, and -the objection to the combination
.' is Tnainly sentimental," says the Times.
"It Js a pity the British concerns were
not able to combine among themselves;
but that Is less their fault than that of
the state of the country's laws. As to why
the- companies have combined, the decreas
ing dividends provide ample reason."
The Times admits that the question of
u the subsidized liners is Important and re
quires turtner elucidation. The paper
4 hints that the enormous business ex-
-pansion of and activity in the United
States is not taking an altogether healthy
and safe form, and that the big combine
in business may easily be overdone.
The Times further understands that
pressure will be "brought to bear upon the
government to represent to Lord Paunce-
"' tote, the, British Ambassador at Washlng-
. "tare, foe urgency of obtaining a report
as to the extent and organization of trusts
in the United States and their effect upon
conimerclal transactions.
Most of the weekly reviews discuss the
shipping combination in a moderate tone,
but with no great degree of satisfaction.
The Spectator says: "We cannot pre
tcifd to View the situation with pleasure,
and we dislike the current tendency to
restrict competition. At the same time,
it is Idle to talk vaguely about the tyranny
of trusts and to propose prohibitive legis
lation. In our opinion all that can be done
Is to allow natural forces to operate
freely in buying and selling, but vigilantly
to protect un-nlllfng sellers from any at
tempt to coerce them Into parting with
their holdings."
Tlie-'Gutlook thinks the steamship busi
ness Is most vulnerable to competition and
the worst Industry that could be selected
as the subject of a trust.
. The Saturday Review takes the matter
of the steamship combine seriously and
makes It the text of a long and bitter
anti-American sermon. It says it feels
-surcohat all the British vessels In the
combination will ultimately pass to the
-American flag, and declares that the
. natipn wHl now be compelled to step In
and. save its very existence. "In the flrst
place' says the Saturday Review, "all
agreements must be published, with their
full conditions and freight rates. Then,
secret 6r postponed rebates must be made
illegal, and ihe British merchant made a
free man again."
NO OCCASION FOR THE FUSS.
Yo'nnpr Morgan Says He Knows of No
Opposition to the Trust.
. XQNDON, April 25. J. Pierpont Morgan,
Jr., said to a representative of the As
sociated Press this afternoon:
"There bas not been a single develop
ment in the shipping trust since the an
nouncement of the Associated Press of
April 19. All this agitation in England
is quite unbased. We cannot transfer
ships from The British" to the American
lta.Caha""what lsmbre, we have not con
templated' it. Some of "the serious papers
here are certainly making a great fuss,
but it all appears to us to be very sen

position to the combination, and neither
know or particularly care, at the present
' mpjnent, what the Cunar.d and other out
w sifters' plans' may be. In the course of
time the agreement on which he trust is
. based will Je submitted to the shareholders
"of "the" .Individuals companies poncerned.

Canadian High Commissioner ;in London,
has said in an interview 'that he was dis-
Inclincd'-fo credit fhe report that the ship

A rumor Is current In Liverpool shipping
circles that the shipping combjne would
pay 12,000 for each 1000 share of the
White Star Line.
Home of Commons and the Combine
LONDON, April 25. Further questions
in the House of Commons today on the
subject of shipping combine elicited In
formation showing that the government
was taking steps to cope with the situa
tion, which evidently was officially con
sidered detrimental to Great Britain. The
president of the Board of Trade, Gerald
Balfour, said the effect of such a com
bination in British shipping generally
would receive the careful attention of the
board, but any formal inquiry at this
time would be premature. No Information
regarding the arrangements made by the
American 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 po
litical interests of the United Kingdom
and to prevent foreign Interference wlthl
British shipping, conflicting with engage
ments made with the Admiralty, the mat
ter had occupied and is occupying the
government's attention.
The Secretary of the Admiralty, Arnold
Foster, replying to Henry Norman, Lib
eral, said the attention of the Admiralty
had been called to the formation of the
Atlantic shipping combine, or trust, with a
capital of JliO.OOO.OOO. mostly held In the
United States, and with offices In America.
The Secretary was informed that 2S Brit
ish trans-Atlantic steamships were con
trolled by this combination, among them
being three subsidized steamers and five
others which were held at the Admiralty's
disposal, without subsidy. The "White
Star Line gave the Admiralty no notice
of its intention to enter the combination.
LOST 812,000 BY DELAY.
Difference in Chnrter Rnte Disad
vantageous to the Xoniin.
The German bark Nomla lost about
$12,000 by reason of arriving In Portland
so late that she missed her charter, and
the Northwest "Warehouse Company,
which had chartered her. Is ahead so
much. She was taken last year at 35s
9d for loading up to the end of Decem
ber. She arrived In the river Thursday
night and the charter rate for her now
is about 15s less than It was last year.
Her arrival under these conditions adds
a disengaged ship to those in the harbor.
Balfour, Guthrie & Co. yesterday char
tered the British bark Peter Iredale, 1994
tons, for immediate loading at Tacoma
at 26e 7d. She left Honolulu March 11 for
Port Townsend.
Sfenmer Race to Alaska.
PORT TOWNSEND, April 25. The ar
rival of the City of Seattle from the north
today terminated a most Interesting
steamboat race of an international char
acter. The City of Seattle and the Brit
ish steamer Princess May sailed for the
north side by side from Vancouver, and
the British boat gave it out that she
would leave the American' boat far be
hind. The Seattle made, seven ports of
call, while the Princess May made one,
and the Seattle arrived flrst at Skagway.
The boats lost sight of each other on the
run up, but came together at the entrance
of Lynn Canal, and the race was re
sumed, but the American boat showed
her superiority, and reached Skagway
seven minutes ahead In a straight run of
GO miles. Captain Nicholson denies hav
ing raced, saying his boat was running on
regular time, 11 knots an hour. Much
excitement prevailed among the passen
gers on both liners.
Early Opening of Yukon Predicted.
PORT TOWNSEND. April 25. Pas
sengers from the North by the City of
Seattle today report typical Spring
weather In all sections of Southeastern
Alaska. Snow and ice are rapidly dis
appearing, and an early opening of naviga
tion on the Yukon is predicted. White
Horse River Is open and Ice Is running
out as far as Lake Lebarge, and great
activity Is being displayed for a general
rush down the river In barges, boats and
on steamers as soon as the river Is free
of ice.
Divers Reach the Snnken Bristol.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash.. April 25.
The City of Seattle arrived from the
north today and reports that divers have
reached the wreck of the steamer Bristol,
and that one body was found In the wreck.
Owing to the advanced stage of decom
position it was unrecognizable. The
steamer lies on her beam ends in 20 fath
oms of water, and it Is thought that if
the vessel can not be raised a large por
tion of her machinery can be recovered.
Red River Steamer Bnrned.
NEW ORLEANS. April 25. The steamer
Sunrise, Captain Frank Scovel, of the
Red River Line, burned to the water's
edge just before daylight. Some of the

place of meeting In 1902. they not only
accomplished great good for the order In
this and adjoining states, but they made
an opportunity for Information regarding
this state to be scattered through desir
able channels to every part of the East.
There will be 120 delegates to the su
preme lodge, and about 40 members of
the various standing committees. Every
one of these 160 men will be a past grand
master "Workman In the state from which
he comes. They -nill therefore be not only
representatives of the best business and
professional circles, but they will be men
of vers wide acquaintance in their own
states. They will be men who will ob
serve the vastness of Oregon's latent re
sources and the varied natural advan
tages tvhlch make this state attractive to
the resident of the eastern part of the
United States. It Is because of the char
acter of men who will attend the meet
ing that Oregon Workmen feel thnt they
have been honored, and for the same rea
son they will spare no effort to make this
session of the supreme lodge an enjojable
one to every person who attends It. The
supreme lodge, Degree of Honor, com
posed of some So delegates, will hold Its
annual session simultaneously with the
brother lodge. It Is expected that many
delegates will bring their families with
them, thus Increasing the total attendance
to about 500 persons, The sessions will
cover a period of about 10 das.
Supreme Master Workman Harwlck Is
accompanied by Dr. A. H. Briggs, grand
medical examiner of the State of New
York. The two officials have just com
pleted a brief tour of California, during
wnicn tney neio. many large meetings in
the interests of the order. The local com
mittee, of which Grand Master Workman
C. C. Hogue. of Albany, is chairman,
was In session all day yesterday, and will
be In session today, conferring with Mr.
Harwlck as to the details of arrangements
to be made for the June meeting. In
speaking last evening of his observations
as he has traveled the United States, Mr.
Harwlck said:
"Everywhere I go I And that the mem
bers of the lodge have what might be
called an absolute confidence In the sta
bility of the A. O. U. "W., and this feeling
has extended to the individuals who com
pose the communities In which our lodges
have been established. I believe this con
fidence is due largely to the general adop
tion of the graduated classification of as
sessments, which has been Indorsed by
the National Fraternal Congress as the
safest and most equitable plan for bene
ficiary orders. Nearly all the grand lodges
have now adopted this plan, and the
Fraternal Congress adopted a resolution
favoring legislation requiring a system
of rates similar to that which has become
so popular In the A. O. U. "W. Our or
der now has over 431,000 members, and is
steadily growing."
All the delegates and their families from
cast of the Rocky Mountains will ar
rive on a special train. These will num
ber about 400, the other 100 coming from
"Western States. Mr. Harwlck and Dr.
Briggs are at the Portland Hotel, and
will leave for the East this evening.

TEA FOR ROGUE VALLEY
SOUTHERN PACIFIC GETTING SEW
INDUSTRY IN SOUTHERN OREGON.
Plants Received From "Washington
to Be Carefully Tested This Sea
sonOf Japan Variety.
Tea Is to be raised In Southern Oregon.
Tho traffic department of the Southern
Pacific has taken up the matter, and will
today distribute a number of tea plants
for experiment In the Rogue River Val
ley. Some time ago General Freight and Pas
senger Agent Miller, of the Southern Pa
cific, became possessed of the Idea that
the Rogue River Valley is suited to the
growing of tea. He wrote Director Withy
combe, of the Oregon agricultural experi
ment station, about the matter, and re
ceived an answer to the effect that tea
might be made a successful crop In South
ern Oregon, but Dr. WIthycombe thought
the question of cheap labor would be like
ly to operate against Immediate success on
a -commercial scale. Mr. Miller also took
the matter up with the Oriental agent of
the Portland & Asiatic steamship line,
and with the Department of Agriculture
at Washington, and enlisted the interest
and aid of Congressman Tongue.
Yesterday there came by express from
the Department of Agriculture a package
containing a dozen fine tea plants. These
will today be sent to people at Grant's
Pass, Medford, Ashland and Jacksonville
who manifest an Interest In the experi
ment and who will observe the conditions
of culture and make the required reports.
Mr. Miller hopes this may form the be
ginning of a new and profitable Industry
in Southern Oregon. He Is not -worried
over the scarcity of cheap labor In this
country. If the plant will mature well In
the Rogue Valley, and can be made- a
successful crop there. Yankee ingenuity
may be trusted to solve the labor ques
tion with machinery and modern methods
of treatment.
Tea has been grown to some extent for
several years In South Carolina, but It Is
not cured cheaply enough to compete
with the Oriental product In the general
market. Still, progrees In the Industry Is
being made there, and the business Is ex,
pected soon to be on a successful com
mercial basis. Mr. Miller intends that the
new plants, which are of the Japan vari
ety, shall have a fair test In the Rogue
River Valley. The plants, as they came
from "Washington, are six to 12 inches
tall, the roots are packed In moistened
moss, and all are as fresh as If they had
Just come In out of the dew.
The only tea plant known to be now
growing in Oregon has flourished on the
campus of the Oregon Agricultural College
at Corvallls for 10 years.
END OF A ROMANCE.
Secret Marriage "of a. Millionaire's
Daughter at Chicago.
CHICAGO, April 25. A romance which
began a year ago on the overland limited
express in California ended last evening
in a secret marriage In the First Pres
bvterlan Church. The father of the bride.
who was at the Auditorium Annex, knew
nnhinr nf th nffnlr until it was all
over.
James D. Darden, of Chicago, one of the
vice-presidents of the American Can Com
pany, was the hero of this love story, and
Miss Marie Ellse Ross, of Brooklyn, N. Y..
the bride. Miss Ross Is the daughter of
J. M. Ross, a member of the firm of Ross
& Snyder, millionaire lumber dealers, who
have large Interests In timber lands all
over the United States. Mr. Darden Is 3S
years old and his bride is 29.
A year ago Mr. Darden was in California
and while on his way to Chicago he met
Miss Ross, who was a passenger on the
same train. The day after Miss Ross
reachea home, near Prospect Park, Brook
lyn, she received a letter from her travel
ing companion. A correspondence fol
lowed, but suddenly Miss Ross letters
stopped. For several months Mr. "Darden
did not hear from her until yesterday
