AN ALASKAN TRUST FORMED.
Four Big Transportation Conpn nie -
United in One Corporation.

SAN FRANCISCO, April s-A great
trust of all trading and transportation
companies i'm Alaska was formed here to-
day. with a capital of s10.259.e9o. under
the double title of the Northern Naviga-
tion Company and the Northern CONNER
cial Company.
These two companies. incorporated un-
der the laws of New Jersey. include the
Alaska Commercial Company and the
Alaska Exploration Company and the
Seattle. Yukon Transportation Company,
and the Empire Transportation Company
The purpose of the combination is to
prevent the cutting of rates and the de-
moraiization of traffic. which has resulted
from divided interests in Alaska. 1t was
found that the only way was to make a
combination OF all companies operating
in the Yukon. st. Michaels. Behring Sea-
and Port Clarence districts. The North
ern Navigation Company viii take over
the assets of the four companies named
and will do strictly transportation bust
ness, with a capital of s.. $50 coo.
The Northern Company, capitalized at
$1,000, 900. will take over ali the plants and
stocks of merchandise now under the con-
troll of the four companies in Alaska. The
new companies expect TO improve the
service and to reduce the price of sup
plies, they will be able to cut down ex-
penses. The principal offices will be in

Aguina lido.

Much as AguinaldO admirers in the
United States may be panied by the oc-
currence, we are decidedly of the opin-
ion that the President has decided to
treat him like other members of the
same tribe who have surrendered or
been captured and then taken the oath
of allegiance. The capture of Aguinal-
do was an event of some importance,
because the manner of 1t was calculated
to impress the rebels with the hopeless
ness of contending with an army that
contained men like General Funston,
and also because Aguinaldo's elimina-
ton from the Philippine problem nat
urally would collapse the Filipino sym
pathetic strike movement of the Boston
junta and its few but noisy adherents.
Now that he is a prisoner, Aguinaldo
is personally no more important than
any other of his associates who have
quit bushwhacking and acknowledged
the sovereignty of the United States.
1t is neither necessary to distinguish
him by undue severity nor by effusive
and exceptional kindness. He is just a
common, ordinary prisoner. taken in re-
bellion against the State TO which he
owes fealty. His treatment should be
exactly like that extended TO others of
his kind-no better, no worse.

NEW BRIDGE CABLES LAID.
Stretched Across the East River Bed
To he Rnisrd Later

NEW YORK. April 9-The first shOrs
10 shore connection of the new East River
Bridge was completed at 12:40 O'Clock this
afternoon. This was when three wire
ropes, pa inches I'm circumference. were
paid out from reels on a large scOw that
was dragged broadside from the New
York to the Brooklyn side. the wire ropes
sinking to the bed of the river, where
they will remain until they are drawn
taut by steam engines and lifted into
place from tower top to tower top Ii is
expected that this will be done about
O'Clock Thursday afternoon.
1t was just 12:2S o'clock this afternoon
when the signal to start from the New
York side was given and twelve minutes
later the reels from which the wire ropes
were paid out were stopped on the Brook
lyn side. There was no interference with
navigation. The harbor master had a
tug on the scene, but IL had nothing to
do for the reason that there was hardly
anything created in the river in the way
of a barrier
Fifty feet beyond the point where the
wire sank into the water any vessel
could pass, so that all the craft going up
and down had only to dodge the big craft
that was being dragged directly across
the river. When the wires are raised on
Thursday. however, there will be an abso-
Lutte bar to passage up and down the river
for several minutes. and two tugs viii
patrol, one on each side. to warn craft of
all kinds to keep off
Ii is expected that If ne hitch occurs
the wires will be high enough above
water in ten or fifteen minutes from the
time the work OF raising them begins 10
enable vessels to pass under them.

FIGHTING AGAINST A CHANGE.
Mr. KaIston, of Brooklyn. Opposes
AboIishiBR Porto Rican Transports.

ID. II. Ralston. of Brooklyn, is in Wash
ington making a second attempt TO in
duce Secretary Root to reconsider his in
tention to suspend the army transport
service between New York and Porto
Rico and make arrangements with steam
ship lines to carry troops and supplies.
Mr.. Ralston has presented a petition TO
Secretary Root against the change,
signed by a number of prominent Brook
iyn men. In discussing his business here,
he said yesterday that while it had not
been officially decided to abolish the
transport service yet, Secretary Root said
that he would do SO just as soon as the
steamship lines make bids below the cost
of the present service.
The Secretary, ne continued. seems
TO have been impressed with the idea that
once the transport service is displaced.
the steamship lines viii continue TO
handle the governmental freight at less
than the United States Government can
do it itself The proposal which is 10 be
opened on April 10 for handling the work
Of the present army transport service
ruus until June 80, 1901, subject to re-
newal by the Government until the end
ing of the new fiscal year which expires
June 80, 1892 | do not see how you can
compel a bidder or contractor to reIiew
a contract on the same terms unless the
contractor feels so disposed and / doubt
very much whether the bidders in this
case will feel this way when the trans
port service is discontinued and the pur-
chaser is at the bidders mercy.
1t is clear that the present proposal to
abolish this important service is simply
placing monopoly in the hands Of the
steamship lines, monopoly, too that the
taxpayers Of the United States are asked
to pay for when they are now actually
prepared for and engaged in the work of
saving these profits that this exclusive
privilege is expected to return to the
steamship lines. This feature of the ques-
ton seems to have escaped the notice of
Secretary Root
There is, by the way, no politics in
this question. The only questions involved
are two-economy and Americanism;
economy. because the Government own
experts say and the records of the trans
port service attest, that this work can
be done cheaper by the War Department
itself tran by contracting lines; Ameri-
canism, because the lines that now pre-
tend to be competing lines employ mainly
foreign vessels This means that Ameri-
can labor is to he excluded from handling
American business, and that profits in
American shipping are to be diverted to
the purses of foreign bankers and capi-
talists.'

The Ear Eastern Question.

According to the current news from
Tokyo. the japanese Government is
satisfied with Russia's promise not TO
make any separate agreement with
china. and has notified its envoy at
Pekin 10 cooperate with the Russian
Minister in connection with the efforts
of the Powers to reach common set
tlement Japan no doubt is glad of the
chance to avoid war at this moment, as
her finances are not in the best shape
possible In addition to that consid-
Grafton Japan gains notably in prestiSe
through the yielding Of Russia TO
pressure which was more that of Japan
than OF any other nation. So the Mi
kado very likely is satisfied with the
record as il stands. though we fancy
that he will not. therefore, sell any of
his ships or guns.
Russia. as may be supposed, is not
altogether pleased with the turn events
have taken Possibly the fact is worthy
Of notice that the rebellion Of Tuan and
Tung-fu Sian happened spontaneously
with the refusal of China to sign the
Manchurian note. That is trifie omi-
nous. but not more so than reports
from Russia which state that one hun
dred and eighty thousand Russian
troops are now massed in Turkestan,
and chat endorsements are steadily
going there in small detachments to
avoid talk What purpose is this large
army To serve in Turkestan, if it be
not intended for an attack upon Herat
and the frontier Of British India?
That is rather a startling proposition,
but by no means an impossible one.
For half a century or more the steady
and resistless advance of Russ a
through Central Asia has been looked
upon by the world as preparatory to
an attempt To seize India. Now Rus
sian army is at the gates of Herat. and
liable under certain conditions TO knock
for admission.
An interesting situation would be
created were the Chinese rebellion TO
become general That would impose
fresh responsibilities upon England.
and compel her to fight for the preser-
walton of her interests and the lives
and property Of her subjects in China.
Add that duty to the South African
handicap. and it win readily be seen
that as favorable an opportunity to de-
liver solar plexus blow to England
in Afghanistan might not occur again
in d century The game which is going
on is hard to follow-so much Of it is
being played with loose sleeves and
under the table. But it is possible TO
witness enough Of it to imbibe a strong
impression that it is full of danger to
the players and to the whole civilized
world
