Latter Preserve Their Independence
In Every Respect Intended to
"'Prevent Competition.
HAMBURG, April 27. An official state
ment of the terms of agreement between
the German steamship litres and the syn

the Hamburg-American Packet Company

ed last March.
Under the agreement. It Is asserted, the
German lines have preserved their inde
penflence in every respect. The syndicate Is
bound not to send a chip to any German
harbor "without permission of the German
lines, which, in turn, bind themselves not
to increase their present tariff from Eng
land to the United States beyond a certain
fixed point. Many other clauses in the
agreement aim at preventing competition
between the syndicate and the German
lines. Neither may acquire shares in an
other, but they are to' support each other
mutually, by chartering steamers or oth
erwise, in fighting competing third par
ties. A committee is to be formed for the
settlement of all questions concerning
their mutual interests. This committee
will have no executive power, and any
differences In constructing clauses of the
agreement must be submitted to arbitra
tion. The duration of the agreement is
limited to 20 years, but either may termi
nate it after 10 years or demand a revis
ion of the contract, and withdraw If revis
ion Is refused.
British Newspaper; VIevr.
LONDON. April 23. The Dally Mall, In
an editorial upon the terms of agreement
between the German lines and the Morgan
syndicate, declares that the" birthright of
British shipping seems to have been sold
for something very like a mess of pot
tage. "The Germans." says the Dally
Mall, "have made a good bargain, be
cause the German Government was wide
awake, whilst the British Government ig
nored warnings and laughed at threatened
peril. It Is high time" that both the na
tion and the government awoke to their
peril."
The Dally Express, which declares that
every Canadian steamship line, except th
Beaver line, has now Joined In an agree
ment to raise saloon fares for transporta
tion across tins Atlantic, publishes an in
terview this monlng with Sir Charles
Tnpper, ex-Canaaan High Commissioner
in London. 'in which he advocates,. In
event of the Cinacjian Pacific Railway
passing to the rfbrgan Interests, that re
taliatory measues be taken by taxing
American imports and that special legis
lation be adopted to prevent injury to
Canadian interests.

BHUSSELS. April 28. It Is announced
here from Antwerp that the Red Star line
