ALL ON THE JUMP.


Little Considerations
Berlin Jan. 2l,--An official statement
issued by the Hamburg American line
sets forth that Herr Ballin, director
Of the line, and DR.. Weigand Of the
North German Lloyd steamship com
lany will proceed to New York there
to continue the conference begun In
Cologne and London, for the reorganl-
cation OF the North Atlantic traffic.
The impression prevails among otil-
Gals of the German lines that some
thing very big in the steamship world
IS about to happen. They seem, how
ever, 20 know as little of what this
may be az do outsiders,
When questioned concerning the
amalgamation Of German steamship
lines with American and British lines
Balm a. Weigand have clearly ana
positively said that the pending nego-
tiatons did not remotely contemplate
any merging of the German lines with
the foreign lines In the sense that Ger
man stockholders would surrender con-
troll. The talk for months past OF
American invasion and the absorption
Of German lines by the Morgan corpor-
alton has made German share owners
suspicious and curious about the con-
ferences to be held az New York, SO
that BALM & Weigand, while keeping
their own counsel as to the public OBJ
,ects they have in view, have never
theless assured the German share own
ers that the autonomy Of the German
steamship companies will be preserved.

Considerably Imbued With the
Importance Of His Own Speech
TALK IS CONSIDERED GOOD.
Different Newspapers Construe II In
Divergent ways Looks More
Like Peace.

London, Jan. 2i.--The rather duh de-
bate In the house Of commons last night
had two noticeable points The first
was the hopelessness OF the real unity
Of the opposition, as shown by the re-
suit Of the vote on the amendment pro-
posed by John Dillon, on which a con-
siderable body OF the radicals voted
with the nationalsta against the policy
Of supporting the war
The second point was the delivery by
Mr. Chamberlain Of what was called
"The turning the corner for peace
speech" which, except In the extreme
pro-Boer quarters represented by the
Daily News seems to be upon all sides
approved as dlgniiled and statesman
Hike utterance.
Referring to this speech the Morning
Post says.
III was the tone Of Lincoln In his
second presidency"
The Daily Chronicle comments upon
the absence OF the customary asperity
during the debate, and declares that
Mr. Chamberlain went near to accept
ing Lord Rosebery's policy
Mr.. Chamberlain expressly declared
that the government was not animated
by any yindlctlve feeling, nor deaf TO
reasonable overtures Of principle, but
insisted that the latter must come from
a responsible authority,
The Daily News argues that II Is a
pretext to prevent any negotiations
whatever,
Mr.. Chamberlain's speech consider
ably impressed all members of the
house. He himself was lmbued with us
importance for at one point he lost ms
notes and took deal Of pains to find
and rearrange them before proceeding,
Winston Churchill will resume the de-
bate today on Mr.. Cawley's amendment
to the address in reply to the speech
from the throne, and division VIII be
taken tonight.

THE DRUGGISTS HAVE AGREED

Americas.

The several druggists of Americas

agreement yesterday whereby the Gus
tom prevailing of cutting prices or

The agreement is an equitable one,

The "cut rate" system has been in

disadvantage of those engaging in il
