imperial Authorities Doing All They
Can to Avert n Clash.
Washington, April 29.-The Chinese
minister states that all information
reaching him shows that the imperial
authorities are doing their utmost to
avoid clash between the Chinese
forces and those under foreign COM
mands. This applies not only to the
provinces of Pe-chi-li, but also of Man
ehuria and to the Yang-tse region,
where, according to a recent report,
an uprising Of Boxers is being planned
for the coming summer.
The thanks which LII Hung Chang
has given to Mr.. Rockhill for the
course OF the United States In the in
demnity negotiations Is in line with
similar thanks which Minister Wu has
expressed to Secretary Hay, the Chi
nese authorities having taken occasion
several times of late to make known
their appreciation of American efforts
to keep the total of indemnity down to
a sum which China could reasonably
meet.
Dispatches from Peking show the
Germans had difficult task in carry

MORGAN DEAL.
Financier Secures Control of a Trans
atlantic Line.
BUYS THE LEYLANDs OUT.
Has Already Paid a Deposit to Bind
the Bargain Which Marks First
Step In a Mammoth Com
sOlidation.

London, April 29.-The first step In
the direction of the consolidation of
some of the biggest transatlantic ship
ping interests has been accomplished
by the purchase by J. Pierpont Morgan
& Co. Of the Leyland line of steamers.
A deposit on the purchase money has
been paid.
The officials of the Leyland line In
confirming the sale say that an official
statement will be issued very soon
from the head office of the line at Liv-
erpool.
1t is understood that the sharehold-
ers will receive f14 los. for each f1O
share.
The Leyland line, whose fleets will
thus pass into the control Of Americans,
is one Of Great Brtain's greatest ship
ping institutions, far exceeding the
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Naviga-
tion company in tonnage and impor-
tance.
When, some months ago, it was sug-
gested that the line was likely to pass
into the hands of the Atlantic Trans
port people, much comment followed in
regard to the effect it would have on
other British lines, as 1t was generally
felt in shipping circles that any such
wide reaching shipping amalgamation
In close touch with American railroads
would have serious consequences for
lines outside the combination.
Future of the Line.
The correspondent has learned that
the purchase of the Leyland line is tan
tamount to its consolidation with the
Atlantic Transport line.
For the present the Leyland line will
retain It's name and be under the same
management. though changes in the di-
rectorate are likely to occur shortly.
President Baker of the Atlantic Trans
port line says:
although the Leyland line has been
purchased by the Morgans, | am not
vet at liberty nor indeed fully in a po-
sltion to discuss the arrangements pro-
iectnd. Reyold the purchase nothing
will be settled till return from the
United States in June"
The result of the projected consolida-
tion will be steamship company with
the largest tonnage of any company in
the world
The report of the Leyland line for
1900, just issued, says the purchase Of
the West Indinn and Pacific Steamship
company has been duly completed. The
company now owns upward of 30 per
cent of the. capital of the Wilson and
the Furness-Leyland lines.
Steamers of the value Of f1.0O00O0
We're recently added to the joint fleets.
The directors declared dividend Of 6
per cent on ordinary shares and set
aside f370,0O0 to the account of the
reserve fund.

THE MANILA FRAUDS.
Accounts of the Trouble In the Com

ACCOUNTS OI tuc IrOuDIe IN the SOm-
missnry Department..
Washington, April 29.-Copies of
Manila papers have been received at
the war department containing stories
of the discoveries of irregularities In
the matter of commissary stores.
1t appears from these accounts that
Major West, who was sent to Manila
to be depot eommissary, would not ac-
! cept charge of the depot until the
stores either were shown up on invoice
or accounted for. This led to investi-
CATION, and some of the enlisted men
and civilians employed about the COM
missary storehouses We're arrested.
The Manila police then made the
rounds of the city and found quite a
large amount of commissary supplies
In different places. Much of this could
be accounted for by the sale of savings
on rations, but this saving it appears,
could not be disposed of to general
buyers, for an order in force i'm the
Philippines directs the return to the
commissary department of stores of
savings, which will be paid for at the
rate of cost to the government. This
would give a much less profit than
could be obtained by dealing with
merchants and contractors.

Important Eykdence Given by Police
Inspector JAMES G. Murray.
Cambridge Mass, April 29.-The Sec
ond week of the trial of Charles r.
Eastman for the alleged murder of
Richard III. Grogan, Jr., opened with
the usual large crowd of spectators In
ATTENDANCE.
A most important witness was Po-
lice Inspector James G. Murray of
Cambridge, who has practically had
charge of the case since last July. His
description of journeys made to Bridge
port, New Haven, Springfield, Lowell
and New York to interview experts of
different firearms and cartridge COM
panies was heard with interest He
said that after receiving the bullet
from the medical examiner, using a
magnifying glass, he marked it with n
minute scratch. This scratch was
pointed out to the jury.
Under cross examination he said he
had great difficulty in firing the pistol,
which Eastman said he had in his hand
when it went off accidentally and shot
Grogan. There was considerable trou-
BILE with the cylinder, witness said,
which at times would not revolve. 1t
was very delicate operation to find
at just what point in pulling back the
hammer the cylinder would be released.
This statement of the witness caused
a stir, as it corroborated almost fully
the claim made by Eastman In numer-
GUS statements that the cylinder of the
revolver worked with difficulty.
