London. July 25, 1 a. m-The rumors of col
lapse Of Mr. Morgan's negotiations for the con-
troll of transatlantic shipping were not credlteu
by we'll informed men in Parliament or pusI-
ness circles, and what is described at LiVerpooi
a serious hitch which may prevent the es-
tablishment of centralized management is re-
garded cautious move for delay whlle the
Imperial Conference is in session and the COLO
nial Premiers in touch with the Board OF
Trade and the Admiralty. This is the We" Oh
the colonial ministers themselves. who persist
in declaring that the adoption of subsidy sys-
tenn on large scale is the only method for pro-
tecting British maritime interests. The leading
shipbuilders support this opinion, but not from
disinterested motives, they hope to OBTAIN
contracts for fast steamships for service oe-
tween Liverpool and Halifax and between van
couver and Sydney. The silence with Whlch
Mr. Morgan's plans and operations are conduct
ed contrasts strongly with the loQuacity and the
lack of reserve displayed by the projectors OF
the British shipping combination.
In shipping circles here it is rumored that
the Wilson -Furness firm is taking steps to hght
the American combination. Hamburg tele-
gram states that the authorities of the liam
burg American Line absolutely deny report
of any hitch in the negotiations with the Nor
gan trust 1t is equally untrue that Mr.. MOT
gan has entered into negotiations with inc
Austrian authorities.
Cabinet making still continues In the loooles

IT will encounter the least resistance from the
unmanageable religious bigots. Mr.. Ritchle is
now fairly regarded in the House of Commons
as the ultimate successor to Sir Michael HICKS
Beach The appointment Of a Chancellor OF the
Excheouer diminishes daily in Importance, since
it is now fairly clear that no change in the hscal
system will be sanctioned by Mr.. Balfour

A meeting was held at the Carlton Hotel last
evening for the purpose of considering a pro
posal to form new Anglo-American associa-

purposes Of the association and the convent
