PHILADELPHIA, May S.-John II.
Lewis, vice president of the Merchants
Trust Company, one of the incorpora-
tors of the Philadelphia Trans Allan
tic Steamship Company, discussing the
plans of the company incorporated at
Trenton, with $500, 900 capital stock,
said:
THE company has not been organic
ed in the interest of any syndicate or
combination. 1t is the intention of the
company TO build it's own, as we'll as
charter steamships primarily for
freight and transportation purposes.
They will run between this city and
London. and while freight is the main
feature, it is probable that some OF
the steamers will carry passengers"
Mr.. Lewis declined to go into details,
or say whether this was not the one
part of the Morgan scheme which had
been assigned to the Philadelphia and
Reading Company to work out. Other
shipping men here think that this is
the Readings part of the general Nor
gan scheme, and point to the fact that
the two other corporators named in the
dispatch from Trenton, F. w. Taylor
and J. s. Taylor, compose the firm OF
Charles Taylor's Sons, who are mana
gers of the Reading Railroad Compa-
ny's fleet of eight vessels, which oper-
ate under the name of the Philadelphia
Trans Atlantic line, and which has an
agreement for interchange of business
with Peter Wright & Sons, of this city.
In this connection attention is called
TO the fact that the Manchester line,
controlled by the Leyland company,
will dock at the Readings Port Rich
mond wharves.
