THE PRINCIPAL TIS A NTIC
 LINES TO ENTER.
The White Star, Dominion, Loyland, Atlantic Transport, American and Red Star Interests InvOlved-No Change to be Made In Flags and Little in Enlargement obj jects Aimed at.

London, April 19.-The Daily Tele- graph this morning announces that pro l longed negotiations have resulted in a
 new combination among the steamship lines, involving no change of flags and i little change in management.
 The lines involved the the White Star, the Dominion, the Leyland, the Atlantic Transport, the American and the Red Star lines The joint control of these amalgamated companies. says the Daily Telegraph. will be practically in the hands of the same men who guide their separate destinies, the intention being to reduce working expenses, to avoid runous competition and to secure har- monious working relations with the great American railways. The Daily Telegraph continues.
 We understand the party co-opera- tion of the North German Lloyd and the Hamburg American Steam Packet company is also assured. These lines will, by working agreement, enter into a harmonious community of inter- ests and cooperation, while still main taining their absolute identity and na- tionality."
 The Times confirms the Daily Tele- graphs announcement of the formation of shipping combination. The Times says the arrangements have nearly been completed and are subject to the approval of the shareholders of the va rous undertakings, and that this ap- proval is not likely to be withheld.
 Rotterdam, April 1S.--At a meeting to-day of the shareholders of the Hol- nd-America Steamship company it was decided to increase the capital of the concern from S000,000 to 20,00O GOO forins ($3 200 900 to $S,000, 00O Harland & Wolff, the Belfast shipbuilders, rep resenting an association composed of several lines interested in trans-Atlan- tic traffic will participate in the reor- ga niZa ton of the company to the eX- tent of six million forins (s2,400, 000).

COL0MBIA'S CANAL OFFER
PROPOSES THAT UNIFIED STATES
 PAY HER $7,000,OO0.
This Figure to Represent Fourteen the Panama Cenai-At the End of This Period tho Price to be Further Paid to
 he Settled by Mutual Consent or Arbi-
trution-Joint Patrol Proposed.

| Washington, April 1S.-The' Colom- cred at the state department on April 1 and afterward recalled by Minister Concha for modification was again pre- sented to Secretary Hay to-day. The proposal as to price is set out as toI- lows:
 One year after the exchange of rati- fications of a treaty. the United States shall pay Colombia the lump sum Of S7, 900, GOO. This figure will represent fourteen years rental at $500,000 a year. At the end of the fourteen years period the price which the United States shall pay each year is to be fixed by mutual consent Of the two countries. In case the parties cannot agree upon a sum 1t will left to an arbitrator selected by the two governments The protocol pro vides for the appointment of joint commission representing Colombia ana the United States which will arrange and provide for all matters pertaining to the administration of affairs within the proposed canal belt, including the membership of the mixed tribunals for the administration of Justice and other steps necessary to the joint occupation of the belt. It is realized that the building of a Panama canal would bring great numbers of persons ot all sorts and conditions to the isthmus and for this reason it has been provided that the policing of the strip shall be performed by both American and Co., lombian constables. neither of these nationalities, 1t is held, being efficient without the aid of the other.
 It is stated positively in an authori- tative quarter that the notifications for which the protocol was recalled were in no sense a retraction of any of the proposals embodied in it at it's former presentation, but were in the nature of explanations which make cer- tain points clearer but do not change their effect The retention of Colom- bian sovereignty over the canal land is point which has been consistently adhered to all through the protocol and none of its provisions relnquish this sovereignty in any degree, it is stated. The protocol consists of twenty-seyen articles and represents an exhaustive study of more than year. Viewed as a study and as comprehensive presen- tation, it is regarded very favorably at the state department.

PEACE OUTLOOK BRlGHIENS
IMPORT OF THE OFFICIAL STATE
 MENT IN THE COMMONS.
Their Folio yvers in Accordance With Their Lsv-No Armistice Granted but Facilities WilI be Given for the Elec- tiOn-SituattOn Considered Favorable,

London, April 1S.-The government leader, A. J. Balfour, in the House of
 Commons to-day made the following important statement:
 After two conferences between Lord Milner, the British high commissioner of South Africa and Lord Kitchener and the Boer delegates at Pretoria Lord Kitchener, while refusing to grant an armistice on military grounds, has agreed to give facilities for the election and meeting of representatives of the various Boer commands to consider their position. The Boer leaders have, therefore, left Pretoria to carry out this plan
 MT. Balfour added that it was not ex- pected that communication between the British authorities and the Boer leaders could be resumed In less than three weeks time.
 MT. Balfour's statement made gen. erally favorable impression. It was dTBueu dlluHS lie iheHlDeIs LII llie House of Commons that the action of the Boer leaders demonstrates that, at any rate, majority of the delegates fla vor the acceptance of the suggested British peace terms. The submission of the question to a plebiscite of the burg hers is according to Boer law, which requires the leaders of armed forces in the field to take the opinion of their fol- lowers before concluding peace
 The Hague, April 1S-A. D. w, Vol marans, the Boer delegate, said to-day that he had no knowledge of any par ticulars regarding the South African peace negotiations, nor of the report, published in Amsterdam, to the effect that the negotiations had been broken off.

DISCHARGED BY CORONER
NORTON AND MANNION RELEASED
 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
Mix Said That He Found NOth- ing That Would Warrant His Holding the Accused Men-Facts of the ease Gyyen-Mrs. Norton Probably Fell Witnesses Examined.

Yesterday afternoon Coroner Mix dis charged Richard G. Norton and Thomas
 Mannion. who were held waiting his in- vestigation of the death of Mrs. Nor ton, which occurred early Thursday morning.
 Six witnesses were cross-examined by the coroner yesterday before he went to Ansonia, including MT. Norton and MT. Mannion, the saloonkeeper and a few neighbors, and there was nothing in the testimony. Coroner Mix said, that would warrant his holding the ac- cused men so he dismissed them from custody shortly after o'clock yester- day afternoon. MT. Norton and MT Mannion were examined separately yes terday afternoon, just before they were discharged.
 Coroner Mix said yesterday II find that Norton assaulted his Wite on that night about o'clock and that he slap ped her in the face. Yet l fail to find any evidence that would warrant my holding the man. Norton went out early in the evening to a saloon and played pool there some time before Mannion came along. The latter who is Norton's uncle went to Norton's house and find ing that Norton was in the saloon went there, where they stayed until mid night. Both men got drunk in the meantime and when they started for home they were quite drunk
 Norton took a pitcher of beer home with him and when he got there he found his wife in an intoxicated condi- tion. His wife asked him for some beer and he refused to give her any saying that she had had enough. She then made a saucy remark to her hus- band who went toward her. Mrs. Nor ton in getting out of the way stumbled and hit her head sharply and made the larceration that we afterWard found. Norton and his relative worked over her for some time, say about 15 minutes, and finding that they could not revive her Norton went for Dr. Moore who could not be eound Dr. Roberts, who also could not be found and finally Dr. Thompson who went to the house. When he got there he found Mannion lying in a stupor near the body of Mrs. Norton and he was unable to tell the physician anything of the occurrence.
 I think that the injury to Mrs. Nor tons brain was due to heavy jar and there is nothing that l have found to make me believe that she was thrown or knocked down by her husband I, discharged him"
 Coroner Mix then went on to tell of the autopsy saying that there were no bruises on the body of Mrs Norton.
