TIVE TO SHIP LINES.

London, Oct. His majesty's gov
eminent is making terms with J.
Pierpont Morgan.
Thus is the unexpected condition Of
affairs in the steamship world reveal
ed by Gerald Balfour, president of the
board of trade at Sheffield.
1t is not likely that the British
public will relish the idea of Britain
mia, "the pride Of the ocean," being
reduced to making terms for the pos
session Of the Atlantic with the
American plutoorat, but it was prob
ably only the safe course for the Brit
ish government to pursue. It is real
lied that Mr.. Morgan is no more to
DO flouted than the Atlantic itself.
While the Cunard company, by
means Of loan and subsidy, is put
in a position to fight for its share of
the business of the North Atlantic,
the government has also entered into
an agreement with Mr.. Morgan by
which for go years British chips in the
combination will continue to fly the
British flag, be manned by given pro-
portion of British men, and will be
available on an emergency for the
British government, while at least
half of the future orders Of the syndi-
cate shall go to British yards.

Watches Establish the Identity oil
Pittsburg Victims.
Undertakers Left This Morning for
the Wreck to Take Charge of
the Remains.
MAY BE BROUGHT TO THE CITY

Mr.. r. @. Benner, of the city, who
received instructions by wire yester-
day from Tideoute, Pa, to take charge
Of the bodies of Messrs. l.. L. Hunter
and L. B. Magill, found yesterday at
the Pittsburg wreck, left this morning
ON the J. b. Richardson, aocompa-
MED by Undertakers Fred Roth and
Clifford Wilson, for the wreck, and
will take charge and probably bring
the remains to the city to be shipped
from here to the home OF the unfortu-
nate men.
Mr.. Benner last night chartered
gasoline boat and intended to leave on
it, but bolt IN the machinery broke
just before il wss ready to start, and
he had to wait for the Cairo packet
this morning.
In conversation last night over the
Telephone with man in Cairo, Mr..
Benner was informed that the two
bodies, which were among the last of
those missing, were found in the hull
of the boat, under an accumulation Of
rubbish.
When the boat caught fire and was
run into bank, she broke in two and
the stern portion Of the hull sank in
deep water, and for this reason could
never be well searched. The present
low stage of water enabled them to
get down into 1t and il was there that
the remains, badly decomposed, were
found.
Identification was established by
means Of the watches the two men
wore, the numbers in which show
plainly that they are those Of the
missing men. A knife found in q
pocket Of the clothing also contains
the name and address of one Of the
men.
II is not known what will be done
with the remains, nor whether they
are still at the wreck, or have been re-
moved, but the bodies will probably
be brought here tonight and prepared
for shipment to Tideoute, the home of
the two wealthy men.
AS stated yesterday, these two men
had been sought for many weeks by
relatives and a brother of Mr.. Magill
spent about ten weeks in the vicinity
of the wreck, ohartering boats and ex-
pending money without stint in his
efforts to find the remains. A reward
Of 5000 each was offered, and will
be paid to the finder Of the bodies, who
is understood to be a man named Nc
Cam.
The deceased were both very veal
thy. and were making q pleasure trip
on the Pittsburg when she was
burned, and they with rs or more
others, were lost. They stopped off
at Paducsh while the boat was OF the
wharf and met their friend, Mr.. Ben
ner, who left today to take charge of
their remains.
Both men were heavily insured, but
It is understood both claims have been
paid without protest. Relatives are
expected from Tideoute this evening
Dr. tomorrow.
