LOW ENOUGH NOW
Ship-OWners Don't Want
Wages Reduced.
More Chinese by the Rio Janeiro.
No New Steamers Needed for
Worlds Fair Travel.

Ship-owners do not gree that they are
all represented by Secretary Williams of
the Manufacturers Association. and there
is some prospect for dissension In shipping
combination circles.
Whatever may be the purpose
of the Manufacturers Association" :"
said a ship-owner yesterday, II am
sure it is not to reduce wages, as is hnted
bv Mr.. Williams. / am not at all mixed
up in the trouble between the union and
the association. but land ! am sure like
wise are other owners-am not il favor OF
maintaining lower scale of wages than is
already in operation"
Union and non-unIon ship-owners ex-
press opinions much the same as those Just
quoted. There has been an impression
made along the front that merchants of

Only those who are not directly inter-
ested in shipping and who represent the
boarding masters exclusively are respon-
sible for these rumors. There is nothing
in them.

There were thirty-four cabin passengers
on the Rio Janeiro, about twelve of whom
are going to Chicago.
This steamer could easily accommodate
100 cabin passengers comfortably and $50
by crowding them. That she did not come
overloaded with travellers shows the alb
surdity Of the Pacific Mails statement
that another vessel would be required on
the China run to accommodate Worlds
Fair travel.
passenger on the steamer stated that
there would be no great rush from China
to the fair in the Pacific Mail steamers, as
travellers would prefer TO 60 via Europe,
thus taking in the sights of that country
as we'll as those OF America.
A gentleman named Ridgely was injured
quite severely by being run over Dy Mar
ket-street cahle-car yesterday afternoon.
