Wrathful Britons Find That
They Have Been Lied to
by Shipping People.
Dlstrust and Resentment Are
Expressed Over Loss of
Control.

London, May 9.-Distrust and resent
ment are the key notes to the comments
of all the afternoon newspapers here on
the shipping combine agreements. All
the papers refer wrathfully to the recent
denials of Messrs. Ismay and Pirrie of the
White Star line, and of Harland &
Wolff, denials of what now proves to have
been absolutely true. The Westminster
Gazette, referring to diplomatic UNI
truths" expresses the hope that 1--WE

which in America, accompanies these

No one attempts to claim that any
vestige of control of the lines concerned
remains in British hands. 1.-THE dollar
god says the St.James Gazette, 'has eat
en- up the better part of the British At
lantic carrying trade and the only com
munity Of interest existing is the same
that existed between the Lady of Riga
and her mount at the end of their joint
excursion. No doubt the smile on the
face of the Yankee tiger is an extremely
broad one
IF anything is to be expected of the
Board of Trade under the present man
agement,' says the Gazette, cit might be
hoped that the use of the British flag to
cover ships which are British only in
name would be refused and the vessels
be placed in the position of pirates"
Dealing with Harland & VOLTS posi-
ton, the St. James Gazette says it con-
siders that when the ship building is
transferred to United States yards, as is
inevitable when the fostering care of the
steel trust has sufficiently enlarged
American ship5uilding resources, Harland
& Wolff will have no alternative but to
cross the Atlantic
The Pail Mall Gazette finds that the
combine is grossly over-ca pitalized,"
and says:
This was a foregone conclusion from Mr.
Morgan's record. He does not deal in little
things, and is not content with small profits.
The huge capital is out of all proportion to
the real value OF the fleets. and it is clear
that substantial advance in freights will
have to be made in order to pay dividends.

Baltimore. Md, May 9.-William Pink
ney Of Sunderland and London, Eng, who
is the managing director of the Neptune
line of steamers from Baltimore to Rot

in this city said to-day that the Morgan
steamship syndicate has bought the Cum
ard line. ..
Mr.. Pinkney's line received an offer
for it's ships, but refused to sell at the
price offered. Since that time he has
been in close touch with the operations
of the Morgan syndicate, and he states
positively that the Cunard line has been
absorbed and that his information is such
as may be relied upon. -.
The Neptune line is still open to the
offers of the Morgan syndicate, according
to Mr.. Pinkney. He says the nine steam
ships owned by the company can be
bought for the same price that was paid
for the Leyland line. The Neptune line
has recently sold one Of it's fastest ships,
