There does not seem to be much
reason to doubt that sooner or later
the United States will have Jamaica
on its hands. Advices from there re-
port a rapidly growing sentiment for
annexation among planters and busi-
ness men. Conditions in Jamaica have
been very bad Sugar planters are
groaning. Native labor cannot find
employment and is restless. This
naturally causes discomfort among the
traders. Not far away lies Porto Rico,
prosperous and contented under the
stars and Stripes. 1t suggests con-
trasts and comparisons, which are all
adverse to British control. What the
outcome would be IL petition for an
neXation should come with practical
unanmity from he substantial inter
ests of the island we cannot say: but
1t is significant that destiny seems to
be busy.

An original but plausible explanation
of the decline of Bryan Is offered by
William Marion Reedy in his rejuven-
ated and much improved st. Louis
Mirror. 1t is that Theodore Roosevelt
has crowded him to the wall by i'm
pressing upon Western public opinion
the conviction that he stands for every
thing substantial in Bryan's political
philosophy and is. at the same time, in
every way a stronger, and saner and
safer man. Come to think of it, isn't

OBJECTION RAISED.

1t will be remembered at that time
one of the members objected to Mr..
Seamans on the ground that he was
unqualified by reason of ineligibility to
membership. or something of that sort.
The manufacturers committee investi-
gated the matter and reported there
was nothing in the allegation. Mr..
Quackenbush, who was the acting sec
1etary, in recording the matter in the
minute book used the word Charges"
to characterize the subject matter Of
the committees investigation.
When Mr.. Seamans yesterday had
finished the reading of the minutes
w. H. Taylor protested against the use
of this characteristic as ill-advised
and incorrect and suggested the sub
stitution OF unjust insinuatiOns. r.
j. Foster advised the use of "unfound-
ed rumors." as being more appropriate.
He also told of the receipt by him of
letter from the party who was given
as authority for the 'rumors," in which
letter Mr.. Seamans was completely eX-
Onerated.
Luther Keller said it was hardly
necessary to deal further with the mat
ter, as the action of the board in unani-
mously electing Mr.. Seamans was an
all sufficient declaration of what the
members of the board thought of the
matter. The word Charges" was then
unanimously eXpunged from the min

COMBINE ON OCEAN TRAFFIC
MOST IMPORTANT UNION OF STEAM
SHIP LINES EVER At
TEMPTED.
J. J. MILL IS IN On THE DEAL
UNITED INTERESTS WILL BE
PLACED UNDER AMERICAN
MANAGEMENT.

New York, Jan. 10. - For the pas
several month stories have been cur
rent in New York and London to the
effect that a merger of some of tins
Great Britain steamship lines with the
American line would be effected soon
by Mr. ]. Pierpont Morgan. The Ley
land line was purchased by, Mr.. Nor
gan, but as often as stories that the
great American financier was about
to get control of lines like the Cunard
or the White Star they we're authorl-
tatively denied on bothsssidcs of the
ocean.
1t may now be stated positively that
within short time the announcement
will be made of the most important
union of ocean steamship lines ever
before attempted and completed. For
the past few months Mr.. Morgan has
been at work on this matter, and
within the past few days the
Details of the Merger
hove been practically completed in his
New York Office. This announcement
is made on the authority of a person
in Wall street who is in a position to
Know What has been going on. AS
those most heavily interested in the
transa ction are not ready to make
known to the public what they have
accomplished, the details cannot now
be given. This much, however. may be
stated: The Americans most intimate
ly concerned in the deal are Mr.. Nor
gan, Clement A. Griscom. president OF
theInternational Navigation company
and his associates in the management
IF the company; A. ]. Cassatt, presi-
dent OF the Pennsylvania railroad; II.
II. Rogers of the standard oil COM
pany; ]. ]. Hill, John D. Rockefeller
the fnanciers and railroad men who
are interested with Mr.. Morgan in the
Community of Interest
group of railroads and in the United
States Steel corporation. From what
has been learned from various sources
the conclusion is drawn that the
scheme involves a union of the Amert-
can-Leyland lines with the freight
lines of the Cunard and White Star
companies. the united lines to be I'M
der the management of the present
managers Of the American line.
Such union would clear the way for
the transport of the European freight
of the Pennsylvania, New York Cen
trail, Baltimore & Ohio and other rail-
roads in whose direction Mr.. Morgan
cuts large figure. by a line of steam
ers practically owned by the owners
of the railroads.
1t also means that the products Of
the United States Steel corporation
will have a clear advantage in freight
rates over the products of all Compel
ing companies, not only in this coun-
try but in the world.
