A BIG STEAMSHIP DEAL.
PLAN TO GET CONTROL OF YARDS
OF THE WORLD.
Reported in Washington that the Deal
Recently Set on Foot VIII Mean
Control of Large Industries.

WASHINGTON, February 22.-In
spite of the fact that Henry T. Scott
repeatedly said upon the occasion of
his last visit to Washington that he
would not under any circumstances en-
ter into a shipbuilding trust or combi-
nation, there are persistent rumors in
the East that his company will enter
the trust that is now nearly formed.
1t is some weeks since the first an
nOuncement was made that the Cramp
Shipbuilding Company of Philadelphia,
working with Vickers' Sons e. Maxim,
of England were trying to get control
of the shipyards of the world. That
deal is still on and it is more than
probable that the combination of the
steel interests of the United States,
with capital approaching $3O0000,0 900,
is but a part of that great ship and
steel combine.
When Charles II. Cramp set out to
corral the shipbuilding business of the
world and enlisted with him the great
British concern, he met the stubborn
opposition of Andrew Carnegie. 1t was
desired to get the big steel makers to
enter the combination also, and most
of the great companies of the United
| States sgnified their unwillingness to
enter. The Midvale Company was will
ing to come in provided enough money
were paid for their plant. Vickers'
Sons & Maxim in England are steel
manufacturers as we'll as shipbuilders.
SO it was calculated that in addition
to getting the British shipbuilders in
to the combine that concern could bring
the British steel manufacturers into
the fold of the trust.
All of which brings one to the con-
sideration of the fact of consultations
as related to recent attempted legisla-
ton. The railroads of the United
States are now in the hands of a very
few men-Morgan Rockefeller Cassatt
the Vanderbilts, the Goulds, HILL Har-
riman and a very few others. The
shipping of the country what there is
of it, is indirectly under tile control of
the men who own the railroads. This
is necessarily so. The railroads, for
instance, own the docks and wharves
the railroad spurs leading to Them and
so exert a direct control over the ship
ping. But recently there has been OBJ
served the spectacle of a group of rail-
road men buying up one of the steam
ship lines of the Pacific. A Vanderbilt
railroad, the Chesapeake & Ohio, has a
line of freight steamers running from
Newport News to Liverpool. They have
four steamers now in operation and will
soon have seven more. 1t is fast COM
ing to the point that the men who own
the steamship lines. Now Morgan, one
of the leaders among railroad men, is
in the steel business already, and part
of the shipping. The Cramps, closely
associated With Morgan, are striving to
consolidate the shipbuilding, thus plac-
ing under the control of not more than
a dozen men the railroads. steamships,
steel business and Shipbuilding bust

PASSING OF FITz HALL.
Well Known Character Unwept, I'm
hOnored and Unsung.

The career of Charles w. Fitz- Hugh
Hall the aescetic gentleman is drawing
to close in Honolulu. Evidence of a
disgraceful character about him has
been secured by the police. The know
ledge of these facts was laid before Mr..
Hall by the authorities Rather than
have the facts made public in a crimi-
nal proceedings against him, Hall con-
sented to leave the town. He will do
so within a few days
During his residence IN this city
Hall has been a more or less prominent
figure. His polish of manner combined
with an inordinate effeminacy proved
rather a detriment than an advantage
in his ingratiating himself with mem
bers of his own sex. During the first
part of the Boer war Hall was suggest
ed that a contingent of Englishmen, to
which nationality he laid claim volun-
teer for service in South Africa His
soft voiced patriotism failed to stir the
Englishmen to any such demonstration.
Hall showed his versatility however
for from a soldier he turned to the role
of poet. He crowded the opera house
one night with people to hear a reading
of his original poems. The least that
can be said of his poems is that they

NEW ASSEMBLY ROOM.
A Rialto Where Millionaires are Said
to Congregate.

Castle & Cooke, Ltd, have arranged
a very excellent assembly room on the
second floor of the building occupied by
them, and in it have been held all the
stockholders meetings lately of corpo-
rations of which they are agents. The
room occupies nearly a half of the en-
tire upper floor, and is fitted up with
suitable desks for presiding officers and
secretaries, and chairs for hundred or
more stockholders, which is rather more
than attend an annual meeting, as a
rule. The room is we'll lighted and
ventilated and it was irreverently sug-
gested by some who saw it for the first
time on the occasion of some of the
corporation meetings held there in the
last day or two that it would make a
very good dancing hall.
Others who saw it for the first time
when it was filled with the stockholders
of some of the big and money making
plantations, said it looked like a resort
of millionaires.
The building itself is a landmark in
Honolulu. Like the firm of Castle &
Cooke it is one of the old institutions
of the city. 1t is said that it was built
fifty or sixty years ago. The firms

and forty years ago. some of them,

RETURN OF SOLDIERS.

WASHINGTON, February 2O.-The
officers of the quartermasters depart
ment at Washington have prepared a
schedule for the transportation to San
Francisco of the volunteer troops in
the Philippines. 1t shows that all the
troops can be brought home in time
for discharge by June 80 next, which
is the date fixed by law for the dis
bandment of the volunteer army. All
the vessels of the Pacific transport
fleet will be used, and will run between
San Francisco and Manila on a close
and regular schedule. Not counting
the volunteers already landed or on
their way across the Pacific, it is esti-
mated that there are nearly 10000 still
to be brought to the United States be-
fore July /.
