MERGER AND SHIP SUBSIDY.
Morsan's Big Combination Effeetua'ly
Kiil. Prospects for Shipping Bill.

Moroan's Bio Combination Effeetually
Kills Prospects for a Shipping Bill.
washington, April 22.-News OF the
great steamship merger has been
severe blow to the congressional ad.
yocates of the pending ship subsidy
bill. Representative McDermott, OF
New Jersey, who is from perhaps the
largest shipping district in the United
States, and is especially familiar with
the shipping business. thinks recent
developments have largely destroyed
the probability of the bills passage.
In the course Of running conversa-
ton upon the subject today. he said:
'.That ]. p. Morgan & Co. should
bring together the leading foreign
and American steamship lines into one
great combination with capitaliza-
tion of $200.Oo0,o00 or 100000, ,000
seems to the average mind to put the
shipping industry beyond the necessity
OF subsidy. It is especially noticeable
that at the time Of news so unfavor-
able to the subsidy cause, the friends
Of the subsidy are beginning to ex-
plot the fear that all the new steamers
to be run under the steamship COM
bination will be built abroad. and the
subsidy promoters in congress are urg-
ing the more urgent necessity Of the
subsidy bill as an Offset to this. Even
if THE fear should be realized, it would
be an easy matter to bring all such
ships under the American flag. But
that is another story.
"An additional combination arises in
q widely published interview with
General Griscoln. president Of the In
ternational Navigation company, in
which he affects Indifference to the
subsidy bill and intimates that his
line would benefit slightly under 1t.
AT the same time he adroitly suggesta
that the subsidy bill Is necessary to en-
able ships now building and and to be
built to sail under the American flag
on an equal footing with the ships OF
other countries. He also naively sug-
gests that 1t rests with the American
congress to determine to what extent
the new services will be conducted by
steamships built in this country and
sailed under the American flag. Mo-
tice that Mr.. Griscom's company is
by far the largest American entry into
the new shipping combination, and
hopes to have it's charter adopted by
the combination"

Toledo, O., April 21.--Governor Nash
today appointed a board of police
commissioners for this city, a
duty which has heretofore devolved
upon the mayor. Mayor Jones made a
farewell address to the men in which
he criticised the passage of the law.
In conclusion he said: "The spirit of
murder is abroad. We are practicing
murder as state and a nation. 1t is
true we call 1T execution on the one
hand and war on the other, but 1t is
murder just the same and the spirit of
love must supplant all this dreadful
work People will tell you that this
is 'drivel,' that you are sworn to en-
force the law. exhort you to enforce
the law Of love"
