May Mean Shipping Pool
The announcement that Director. Bal
| lin of the Hamburg American steam
ship line, and Director Wiegand of the
North German Lloyd line, intend to go
to New York together at the end Of
January. causes much conjecture as TO
the object of their trip. The most gen
/ orally accepted theory is that it refers
TO pooling arrangements with the
United States lines, though both Herr
BALM and Herr WieganL are reticent
on the subject.
The Lokal Anzeiger says 1t learns
that the object of Herren Balm and
Wiegand's trip is TO participate in the
| festivities in the United States on the
! occasion of the visit of Prince Henry.
The friends of the tariff bill continue

measure. 1t is significant that an
agrarian organ. the Deutches Tages
! ZeitUng, has printed an article notify
ing the tariff committee that there is
no use wasting time upon the bill un-
! less the agricultural duties are raised
still higher. as the agricultural MEM
! bers will never vote for the bill in its
| present form. More sober papers
| friendly to the bill are also much dis
couraged on account of the slow prog
ress it is making in the committee.
