THE STEAMSHIP COMBINE.
British Members of Syndicate Get
Their Allotment of Stock.

LONDON, April 21.-The alotments of
stock in the new shipping corporation were
ali taken up by British members of the
syndicate at noon today. What proper
tion was given to Europe the Morgans
not nearly so large as desired by the Brit
ish interests. j. Pierpont Morgan is now
in Paris. but from other members of the
firm the Associated Press learns that the
Shipping corporation will be run almost ex-
actly on the same lines as the United States
steel corpora ton, each branch retaining it's
individuality, but being subject to the con-
troll of the directing body. The statements
intended for the stockholders of the new
corporation, regarding earnings, manage
ment. etc, will be issued by method SINH
lar to the one now employed by the steel
corporation.
Regarding the detection of the Cunard,
Allan. Anchor and French steamship lines,
the Morgan views are as follows:
1T remains to be seen whether they will
come in. We think 1t is rather a good
thing, in some respects, not to get every
body in at the beginning, the idea being
that the present combine is quite big
enough to start with, and it is better to get
1t down to a practical working basis before
being too anxious to make a clean sweep
Anent the possible refusal of the British
and continental shareholders to ratify The
directors action. the Associated Press is
authoritatively informed that no such con-
tingency is possible. as the corporation al
ready owns a controlling financial interest
in each line, and far, no indications of
discomfort on the part of shareholders over
the prospective conversion of their present
securities have been noticed.

MR.. KNAPP HEARD.
Favors Amendment of the Interstate
Commerce Law.

President Knapp and his associates of the
interstate commerce commission were be-
fore the House committee on interstate
and foreign commerce today, in support of
the bill amending the interstate commerce
commission act SO as to prevent rate cut
ting, paying of rebates, etc. Mr. Knapp
said the defects of the law in this par
tioular had long been recognized. and he
favored effective legislation for the prose-
caton of corporation carriers giving re-
bates and otherwise offending against the
law. II shippers who took the benefits of
the rebates were to be included in the
prosecutions. Mr. Knapp argued that they
should be confined to shippers having guilty
knowledge of the irregu,arity, as the bulk
of small shippers accepted as correct the
rates given by local agents. The extent to
which rate cutting is carried an was re-
viewed and Mr.. Knapp expressed the be-
lief that the remedies to be applied should
go higher than subordinate traffic man
ayers and should reach those who profit to
large amounts as result Of the rebate
system.

EXPOSITION AT LIMA.
Utilization of Alcohol to Produce
Power, Heat and Light.

Information has reached the Peruvian
legation in this city that a general eXposi-
ton of the methods, apparatus and ma
chinery for the application of alcohol to the
production of motive power, heat and light,
will be held at Lima during the month of
September, 1902. Peru is one of the chief
alcohol producing countries of the world.
and the object of the exposition is to give
alcohol producers an insight into the capa-
bilities of alcohol in the Industrial field. 1t
is also believed that by encouraging the
use of alcohol for Industrial purposes its
consumption as a beverage can be very
considerably restricted.
Gold, silver and copper medals and hon.
orable mentions will be bestowed on sue
ceSsful exhibitors in the order of merit.
The Peruvian government has appointed a
commission, consisting of Mr.. Jose Balta.
director of public works; Mr.. Eduardo Ha-
bich, director of the School of Mines and
Mr.. Alexandra Garland to formulate the
program for the exposition, collect the nee
essary data, and communicate with manu-
facturers, inventors and institutions with
the view of obtaining their support and as
sistance through the sending of exhibits.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 21.-The hot
south winds that swept over the better part
OF Kansas yesterday prevailed again today,
and this morning no reports of rain had
been received at the local weather bureau.
Increased damage to vegetation Of all kinds
will doubtless result. The temperature at
Florence and Abilene, in central Kansas,
and Hiawatha, in the northeastern corner
of the state, ranged from 90 to 96 degrees
above in the shade yesterday, and the pros
poets today are for a repetition of this
weather. The ground generally is reported
dry and hard and badly IN need Of rain.
The midsummer weather experienced in
Kansas City yesterday, when the thermo,n-
eter rose thirty-two degrees in seven hours
from 50 to 91-prevails today, WITH per-
haps, slightly cooler wind. The weather
bureau at 1890 o'clock this morning re-
ported that the only promise Of relief for
the next twenty-four hours in the south
west were indications of scattering showers.
The highest temperature recorded yesterday
was 100 at Concordia, Kan.
Other readings follow: kansas-Hays, 80;
Fort Scott, 81; Dodge City, 92; Manhattan,
81; Mcpherson, 90; Usage City, 93: Wichita

CHICAGO, April 21-Chicago is feeling
the effects of the hot wave that developed
in the west yesterday. The thermometer
al o'clock registered 81 degrees. Relief
however, for a great portion of the central
west is expected today. Prof. Walz of
the United States weather bureau says a
storm area of considerable magnitude Is
gathering over Missouri, Iowa and Illinois.
Because of the excessive and unreasonable
warmth thunder showers are expected.
Particular interest in the weather Is mani
tested by local grain spectators and many
have expressed the fear that unless rain
fields troublous times will ensue on the
beard of trade.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, April 2t-The hot
wave which struck this city yesterday con-

thermometer stood at rs degrees. Two

dust accompanied the heat.

OMAHA, Neb., April 21.-The tempera-
ture this morning, at o'clock was a trifie

the heat is still oppressive and quite unsea-
sonable.

low Sunday. AT Valentine it registered A

CUBAN RECIPROCITY BILL.
Situation in Senate by No Means En-
couraging.

The situation in the Senate with reference
to the Cuban reciprocity bill is very much
involved and by no means encouraging to
the prospect of early action on the bill
The successful revolt of the beet sugar re-
publicans in the House undoubtedly has
strengthened the opposition to the bin in
the Senate The opportunity to play poll
tics with the differential amendment will
prove, it is thought. tempting bait to the
democrats.
Delay will be the keynote of the campaign
of the opponents Of the Cuban reciprocity
bill in the Senate. They naturally are afraid
of the power of the administration and real
ize what it means when it is directly ap-
piled. They will endeavor to prevent good
opportunity for the application of that
pressure.
The resolution to investigate the sugar
trust. which is now offered by Senator
Teller will prove a means of delay in the
opinion of some of the opponents of the
reciprocity bill. They think that neither
party will dare to stihe the resolution. If
the investigation is entered upon it will be
good excuse, in the opinion of some, for
not bringing in the Cuban reciprocity bill.

PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-The supreme

court of common pleas No. 5, in the case
of Napoleon Lajoie against the PhiladeI-

decision upholds the validity of the reserve
clause in the National League contracts

signed with the Philadelphia American
League Club for the season Of 1901 and 1902
The Philadelphia Base Ball Club, through
Treasurer John l. Rogers, entered suit to
restrain Lajoie from playing with the
American League. The lower court held
that the reserve clause was illegal, and
Colonel Rogers carried the case to the SUI
preme court where the decision was re-
versed. If this decision stands it will affect
all players who were subject to the reserve
rule and who are now playing with the
American League.
Was Noted Case.
The case attracted widespread attention
because of the question of the validity of
the reserve clause in National League
contracts The lower court decided that the
National League contracts were lacking in
mutually, and therefore oppressive to play
ers who desired to sign other contracts.
The lower courts decision bore especially
on the "ten-days release notice clause
and today's decision is, in effect, that this
clause is equitable. s
In rendering the decision the Supreme
Court says:
Upon a careful consideration of the
whole case, we are of opinion that the
provisions of the contract are reasonable
and that the consideration is fully adequate
The evidence shows no indications of any
attempt at over-reaching unfairness.

1t is likely that all National League
players now playing with the American

event of their failing to do so suits will be
brought in the cities in which they are now
playing, asking for an injunction restrain
