ago, ii was Il common sight to see
bargcs at the Wharvcs Then there was
no fear of the long. low. rakish- looking

been replaced by schooncrs and the
para phernalia necessary in unloading
had disappeared. During the past, year
schoOnc:s have been at a premium. The
masters had not the slightest trouble
in getting all the clrgccs they wanted
and would not consent TO come without
a big advance over the freights for

Now that the time has come when
the dealers must have the coal for
which they have contracted they are
using the blrEes. Tho advantage is
that they Will carry more coal and in
addition to that have such Il capacity
that they may BE- used in shipping ice

less waste.

have capacity Of over 600 tons. The

General McClurg. of Mississippi has filed
declaration in the Circuit Court of Kinds
County against nineteen cotton oil mills in
Mississippi. These are alleged to be in q

Trust bill.
The declaration sets forth that they have
violated the Antitrust law by entering
into a combination to prevent competition.
to regulate the buying ard selling OF cot
ton seed. and for the protection Of each
other in handling seed sacks. The declara-
ton also declares that the combination be-
tween the oil mills prevents the railroads
from competing for the seed hauling BUSH
ness.
The Attorney General files with the
declaration the articles Incorporating the
American Delta Crushers' Exchange. or
ganized for the mutual protection of each
other. for regulating that branch of the
industry, for the purpose of cooperating
and regulating freight and insurance
rates. for the exchange of ideas and
methods in he handling of seeds. and for
the mutual protection of each other in
selling their products and in handling the
raw material.
Under the influence of the trust the
market value of cottonseed has fallen
from 81 to s13 per ton.

many years in order to establish American
sovereignty and to restore peace, will no.
where create surprise. Perhaps his decla-
ration is designed as much to strengthen
the general argument in favor of a large

is probably true and conservative. The

has been Overwhelmingly in favor of the
policy of holding all the possessions which
came to US from Spain, and Mr.. Mckinley
undoubtedly holds their mandate to fix
American authority over them. if ii takes
a million lives to accomplish the object.
The war in the Philippines will go on. The
only question is whether or not the car
petbag exploitation and loot of the country
will also continue without reference to our
fundamental law or institutions. That is
something which the Supreme Court of the
United States is about to decide in the Por-
to Rican citizenship and tariff cases. and
in the case of alleged diamond smuggling

the result of these and cognate contests

be remembered, however. that If the Su

pass the adoption of constitutional
amendment which would cure that disad-
vantage to them and to their ultimate pur-
poses.

STEAMSHIP DEAL PENDING.
The Consolidation of Several Large
Comm lies RumOred.


BALTIMORE, Nov. 11.-Indica.ions OF
an impending steamship deal continue to
be shown in the Stock Exchange transac-
lions. Shipping men are talking about
the probability of a great consolida ion
which may be accomplished shortly. The
shares of the Atlantic Transport Com
pany sold yesterday at no. al advance
Of twelve points from the last sale on
Friday. In New York the stock of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company rose ten
points. to 81. Both companies are men
toned in the gossip about the prospect
i've combine.
officers of the Atlantic Transport Com
parry, the headquarters of which are in
this city, give no information about the
deal. President Baker has stated that
there is nothing in the report. If this
company figures in the deal it appears
probable that it's negotiations will be
conducted through the banking house Of
Alexander Brown G Sons. Mr.. Brown is
a director in the Atlantic Transport Line.
Six months ago negotiations were in
progress between the Leyland Line and
the Atlantic Transport Company for
consolidation. The terms offered. 1t is
understood, were not satisfactory to 10th
parties and the deal fell through.
The Leyland Line. a big company. with
thirty-four vessels. runs steamers to
Boston. and it appears probable that they
may become interested in these recent ne
gotiations. Closely concerned with F.
Leyland &; Co., who operate this feet. are
r. W. Leyland & Co.. with fifteen ships.
and Furness G. Co.. with nine. Just how
far the scheme may reach is not yet APP
parent.
Besides the Atlantic Transport Com
pany. the Pacific Mail and the Red Star
Lines are mentioned in connection with
the project. The Atlantic has seventeen
vessels in service and six building. The
Red Star has twelve ships. The Pacific
Mail, which, as its name indicates. cper-
ates on the Pacific Ocean, has seventeen
steamers. Seven of these are on the
Panama Line. two on the Panama
American Line, two on the Central Amer
lean Line, three on the Japan and China
Line, and three are reserve ships. The
other companies operate on the Allan
tic between America and Europe.
In shipping circles it is surmised that
IL the deal is completed an increased eff
fort will be made to get a ship subsidy
bill through the next Congress.
