Question of Subsidies.

One Of the most interesting features
OF the plan deals with the SUBSIDY
question. The White Star and tunafd
lines receive subsidies from the isrlt,
ish government. These subsidies would
be withheld or abro.ated II the SHIPS
of these lines changed III eir flags from
British to American. Because OF TINS

and the English subsidized companies

New York, April 2l-J p. Morgan,
who is now abroad. has practically con
summatcd plan to combine all the
leading transatlantic steamship lines.
London dispatches announcing the
combination were practically confirm
ed at the Morgan banking house. The
lines TO be consolidated will, ii is un-
dcrstood. include the American and
Red Star lines. White Star line. Domin-
ion line Atlantic Transport line and
the Leyland line The two last named
lines have been under Morgan control
for some time. Probable additions To
this list are the Cunard Wilson and
Holland. American companies and it Is
understood that working agree

leading transatlantic companies in
cluding the North German Lloyd Ham
burg American. General Transatlantic
tfrcnchl. Allan and Anchor lines.
Nj Morgan has given the matter

American line. while Charles Steele.

had charge Of the legal prelimnaries.

LETTER FROM ROWLANDvILLE

But little has transpired since my last
communication to relieve the intense an
xiety felt in this community with regard
to the son of Mr. Roman. But it APP
pears to be almost reduced to Il certainty.
that, he must have been lost in the waters
of the Susquehanna. Several efforts have
been made to find the body by graphing
and fishing with large hooks, and other
implements. but the water continues so
high, and the current so strong, that il
is impossible to effect much until the
fall Of the river. A liberal reward is Of
fered for the recovery of the body.
We hope sincerely that it may be soon
recovered. as it would help to relieve the
anguish of the much afflicted family.
