The capital stock of the company is

A strong bid will be made for some Of
this trade by the new company, al
though it is promised that there will be
no rate cutting.
Over 100000 is being spent on the
construction and fitting up on each of
the five steamships, which, the owners
say, will prove to be modern ocean pal

complication has arisen in the British
ministry. growing out of the estrangement
OF Lord Salisbury and Joseph Chamberlain.
The former has taken occasion publicly to
criticise the latter for his advocacy Of a
certain bill, and it is now no secret that
he two are on bad terms. Ordinarily so
serious bl each In the government would
put it almost at the mercy of the opposi-
ton. But the vote in the commons yester-
day on the Rhodes resolution showed the
government to be too firmly intrenched to
warrant the opposition in assailing it for
an overthrow just now. On that vote the
government was sustained, indirectly, by
.04 to u. and it would appear to be a bad
time for the liberals to press the ministry
to defensive attitude. either on the
Rhodes case or any other matter in dis
pute at present. Indeed it would seem that
the Transvaal affair is practically all there
is left for parliament to become excited
over at this session. In view Of these con-
ditions the conservatives are said to be
taking no pains to conceal their disagree
ments from the view Of the public and the
opposition. and 1t is now being wondered
just how long the ministry will remain In
