STEAMSHIP COMBINATION.
LeyIand, the American and Atlantic
 Lines May Go Together.

New York. August 16.-According to the Journal of Commerce, conservative ad- vioes received here from Liverpool con- tain the definite statement that an al- hance Is contemplated between the Ley land, the Atlantic transport and the American lines. The Leyland line, 1t will be recalled, was recently purchased by J. IF. Morgan as the head of a syndicate.
 The fact that the Atlantic Transport and Leyland lines were to be operated in harmony has been known for some time. There have been at various times and tn various forms reports that the Ameri- can line was also a part of MT. Nor gans plan, but these reports have been in each instance denied.
 So far as the arrangement to be in eff feet among the various companies Is con- cerned. 1t will be apparently merely the application of community of interest plan of operation to the steamship busi- Eass. The connections of various lines will be of a close character, and 1t is stated will be fully indicated when the new directors of the Leyland line be. come known
 It may be stated positively, however that the flags and tunnels of the three fleets will remain distinct as at present and the lines will be managed separately as Is now the case. At the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. no information would be given on the proposed alliance.
