HAMBURG STEAMER COMPANY
BUYS A RAILROAD.
LAST LINK AROUND THE EARTH
Great German Company Negotiating
For the Purchase Of the Santa Fe
Road-CoEpletes Their Own Line
Encircling the Globe-Will Supply
Europe With Oriental Goods.

New York, May 17.-Discussing the
pans or the Hamburg-American Steam
snip company's purchase Of the Atlas
steamship line and the negotiations with
the Atchlson Topeka and Santa Fe, AL
pert Ballln one of the directors, in an in
tervieW just prior to sailing for Europe
said:
The enterprise is SO vast that it is
difficult to give a comprehensive idea of
IT. The purchase of the Atlas line is
only a part of our general scheme and
we are negotiating for the control
OF the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe
line. Our company owns today 1877 ocean
steamers. 1t is the largest steamship
company in the world. With the acqui-
stfon of the railway to pour passengers
and freight across this continent, our
line VIII practically encircle the globe and
We will control long distance shipments.
We will be able to transport direct
from Hamburg to Hong Kong over our
own lines. We will be able to carry Eu-
ropean products to Oriental markets
much cheaper than by the present meth
cd Of transportation. Also the Asiatic
market will be able to get it's products
much cheaper than heretofore"
E. L. Boaz, manager of the Hamburg
AMERICAN uIle, DeinS interviewed, SAID:
No Trouble for the Canal.
BY the purchase of the Atlas steam
ships, the Hamburg American line did
not obtain any concessions on the
isthmus Or in any part of Central Amer
lea. 1t is not the intention of this COM
pany to cause the least embarrassment
to the Nicaraguan Canal company. We
shall make no attempt to establish trade
communication by the route mentioned
with Pacific ports.'
Paul Morton. second vice-president of
the Santa Fe, is loking to the establish
ment of an elaborate steamship service
between San Francisco and the Asiatic
ports. If Morton is successful, the
steamship company, will, within one year
establish line of freight and passenger
steamers running out of San Francisco.
The steamers will touch at Honolulu, Yo-
kohama, Hong Kong, Shanghai and other
cities.
1t is the present purpose to better the
line Of freighters and also to put into
service within two years six new pas
senger steamers.

Lady Mimic ana the Nurses.

Canadians who know the facts of the
case have been much amused by 4
story recently published in an eastern
paper regarding the movement said to
be contemplated by Lady Mimic, wife
of the governor general, in opposition
to the Victorian Order of Nurses. This
order was established by Lady Aber-
deem when she was in Canada to COM
meniorate the diamond jubilee of
QCe.sa Victoria, and the facts which
prove Lady MintO's interest in the Vic
tGfian Order of Nurses are that before
coming to Canada the countess express
ed to Lady Aberdeen a desire to fur
ther the affairs of the order for the re-
lief of the sick and suffering. Since
her residence in Canada she has more
than kept her word and has never fail
ed to attend the meetings of the board
of governors. Lady Mimic has also in
terested herself directly in the work of
the local associations and instituted
house to house collections for the work
in Montreal Toronto and Ottawa. The
treasurer of the central board recently
received a substantial check as a
Christmas gift from Lady Mimic. At
the present time Lady Mimic is doing
all in her power to promote the cree
ton of cottage hospitals in the I'M
settled districts of Manitoba, but in
stead of being in opposition to the Vic
tOrian order the nurses for these hos
pitals are to be supplied entirely from
that organization.

whxiRees NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Z Bees go out all day gathering honey
and works at night.in thethiNe, building
their combs as perfectly. asiif an cleo
trio light Shone there all the time
why do they prefer to work in the
dark? is oftenfasked. Every ONE knows
that honey is a liquid with no solid
sugar in it. After standing itigradual-
ly assumes a crystalline appearance
or graduates and ultimately becomes
a solid mass.
, Honey has been experimentally in
closed in well corked TASKS, some of
which were kept in perfect darkness,
while the others were exposed to the
light. The result,was that the portion
exposed to the light soon crystallized,
while that kept in the dark remained
unchanged.
Hence we see why the bees are so
careful to obscure the glass, windows
which are placed in their hives. The
existence of the young depends on the
liqE1idity of the saccharine food pre-
scented to them, and if lightswere allow
ed access to this it wouIdiin all prob
ability prove fatal to the inmates OF
the shive.-Weekly Bouquet.

Surface Indications.

From "a Book on Dartmoor." writ
ten by the Rev. S. Barring Gould, comes
story which might have come from 4
less trustworthy source:
The wild and romantic country of
Dartmoor consists of a tableland with
rugged peaks or tors and all but i'm
passable marshes. After dry summer
it is easy to pick ones way across
parts of it which at other times are full
of pitfalls. At one of the latter periods
a man was cautiously treading his way
across one of the treacherous marshes
when he saw hat lying brim down
ward on the sedge. He gave it a gen.
tie, good humored kick in passing and
almost jumped out of his skin when a
choked voice called out from beneath:
what be you a-doin to my 'at?"
BE there now a chap under'n" ex-
claimed the traveller.

Maurice Thomnsnn.

He would have holiday-outworn, in sooth
Would turn again to seek the old release,
The open fields, the loved haunts of his youth,
The woods, the waters and the paths of peace.
The rest, the recreation, he would choose
Be his atndingly! Long has he served,
And greatly, aye, and greatly let us use
Our grief and yield, him nobly as deserved
Perchance, with subtler senses than our own
And love exceeding ours, he listens thus
To ever nezTer, clearer pipings blown
From out the lost lands of Tbeocritus.
Or. haply, he is beckoned from US here
By knight or yeoman of the bosky wood
Or, chained in roses, hailed prisoner
Before the blithe Immortal Robin Hood
Or, mayhap, Chaucer signals, and with him
And his rare fellows he goes pilgriming,
Or Walton signs him DER the morning brim !
OF misty waters midst the dales OF spring.
Ho, whereSoeer he goes whosoe'er
He fares with, he has braveIy earned the boon.
Be his the open and the glory there
OF April buds May blooms and flowers OF June
Be his the glittering dawn, the twinkling dew,
The breathless pool or gush of laughing streams
Be his the triumph of the coming true
OF all his loveliest dreamsl

Opportunity.

In one of the old Greek cities there
stood long ago a statue. Every trace of
it has vanished now. But there is still
in existence an epigram which gives us
an excellent description of 1t, and as
we read the words we can surely dis
cover the lesson which those wise old
Greeks meant that the statue should
teach to every passerby. The epigram
is in the form of a conversation be-
tween a traveller and the statue:
"What is thy name, o statueY'
al am called Opportunity"
"Who made thee?'
"Lysippus."
"Wby art thou on thy toesT
''To show that stay but moment"
"Why hast thou wings on thy feet?"
ITO show how quickly pass by"
"But why is thy hair so long on thy
forehead?"
THAT men may seize me when they
meet me-"
"Why, then, is thy head so bald be-
hindu"
ITO show that when I have once
passed cannot be caught."-Christian

RUSHING THE CAN TRUST.

By means of the CO mpleted organ
|ization of the America Can company,
representing a complete monopolistic
com bine of the tin can manufacturing
concerns of the United States, and of
the Standard Milling COMPANY, less
comprehensive in scope, an additional
500, 900, 900 of trust capitaliz alton is
to be noted as a significant develop
ment of the times.
1t must be acknowledged that the
certainty of another four years of
McKinleyism is greatly stimulating
the trust barons in their monopoly
mission. 1t is but a few days ago,
almost coinciClent with the second in
auguration of the trust president of
the United States, that the steel trust
pefected by Pierpont Morgan was in
corporated with capitalof$1 L, 100, 000,-
900. The gigantic railway com bine,
based on the community of owner
ship" idea, is also a recent develop
ment. No time is being lost by the
200 trust magnstes of America who
hope finally to own all that is worth
owning in this country.
OF course, there will be many other
trust formations in the not remote fu-
ture, covering whatever fields are
still open to the application of the
trust idea. The certain passage of
the $3.50, 900, 600 ship subsidy grab by
the Fifty-seventh congress will no
doubt result in at least one new ship
ping combine. It's great time for
the trusts-and during the next four
years the people will learn just what
it means to have trust president at
the head of the American government.
They should not fail to profit by the
lesson if they propose to remain free
and self-governing people.

RAKE JEWELS INNEw YORK.

According to a well-known expert
New York is more lavishly set with
diamonds than any other city in the
world. He estimates that $40, co.,
600 worth of precious gems are owned
by prominent families there. OF this
amount the Vanderbilt family heads
the list with $4,000, 900. and Mrs.
o. II. p. Belmont owns at least $780,
600. The Mackay family comes next
with 81, 900, 900. The Aston diamonds
are enormously valuable. ''While
many of the diamonds owned in New
York are not so famous historically,
says the gem expert, ''still, in fine
ness, weight and beauty many of
them are equal to the best foreign
diamonds. The prices paid for some
American gems are very high. Half
a dozen American families own Jew
els which rank in intrinsic value with
some of the gems possessed by royal
houses of Europe"

The presence of these officers here
at this time. when the air is full of
rumors pertaining to the future of
the Tri-City route, caused somewhat
of stir, but little information could
be gained from members of the party.
They would not say anything further
than they were simply on an insPec-
ton trip.
However, an ARGUS reporter, who
went aboard the special at the Seven
teenth street depot, learned that the
tour was with view to the early con
summation of traffic arrangement
between the new road and the Mil
waukee and Burlington. E. E.
Hughes, general manager of the D.,

The Milwaukee, if the program
contemplated is carried through, is
to jointly occupy the D, Z. 1. & n.

This will insure the removal of the
old depot shack now used by the Mil
