Central Is responsible for the action OF the Lehgh and
wlkesbarre Coal Company, and that their action has
violated the Injunction by arbitrarily fixing the price
OF coal by combination with the Reading.

Two New Shin Lines.

The Department Of State has been informed
of the establishment of two new trans Atlantic
steamship lines having New York for their
terminus on this side. The first is freight
line, reported by Walter f. Gardner, Consul at
Rotterdam. 1t is called the North American
Transportation Line, comprising seven steam
ers, sailing every other Wednesday. In 1891
the clearaDces from Rotterdam for New York
were 81; in 1892, 224. The steamers running
between those ports, says Mr.. Gardner, have
heretofore been crowded, oftentimes beyond
their capacity, SO that the establishment of the
new line was a necessity.
The other is passenger and freight line, to
be called the Scandal Line the terminal ports
being New York and Stettin on the Baltic 1t
is operated by the Hamburg American Packet
Company, and gives direct communication be-
tween this country and several ports heretofore

for the United States, carried 225 Swedes

about their visit to Tarsney which aroused Bit.
ter feeling. Later in the day DIR. Morgan and
DR.. Ingram had quarrel about the visit and
nearly came to blows.
This trouble having come to Tarsney,s notice

his colleagues, also, why any gentleman in the
Government service could not call upon the
representatives of the people without being
examined and cross-examined about il by some
subordinate official.
