MAY BELT THE WoBLD.-It is sug.
gested that the new ship combine will
probably enter into close relations with
the Pacific steamship lines controlled
by ]. ]. Hill, thus effecting a world
wide community OF steamship inter.
ests," with resultant increase OF busi-
ness 10 the traDscontlnental railroad
lines. Such suggestions are said to be
premature, but 1t ls we'll known that
the Morgan and Hill interests in the
steamship business, no less than 10 sew
ersl railroad schemes. are practically
identical. There is no thought at this
time Of taking any of the coastwise
lines into the Morgan combination, al
though 1t is pointed out that several
such liues running to Mexico, Central
and South American ports offer great
possibilities 10 the way OF increased
business. William K. Grace, who con-
trolls large South American interests,
has been frequent visitor to the Mor.
gan banking house recently, but bis
business. it is believed, has nothing 10
do with the steamship combine. Ooe
ofthe leading spirits In the international
steamship combination organized by J.
z. Morgan has authorized denial OF
reports that pressure Is being brought
to bear to force the Compagnie General
Transatlsnt!que into the combination.
1t Ia admitted that negotiations have
occurred between Mr.. Morgan and re-
representatives. OF the French line, but
they have not advanced to that stage
where they can be publicly discussed.

Police are Enforcing Ordinance Pro
hibiting Riding on Union Street.
The bicycle riders woo are ignoring
lie ordinance prohibiting the riding
on the sidewalk of Union street are
going to get into trouble if they con
tinue to violate the law.
A policeman has been ordered to
keep watch on this street and here
after everyone caught will be given a
trial in the police court. Tae OH
GERS say the law is violated mostly by
the ladies' and tney have been mott
fed to stop riding on the sidewalk,
iai6ing to a News reporter yester-
day, one Of the officers said the only
way to stop the ladies from violating
the ordnance would be to arrest one
and give her trial in police court,
and this the city intended to do.
Union is probably the main resi-
dence street Of the city and before
the passage of the ordinance prohib-
iting bicycle riding on the sidewalk
many accidents occurred. one or two
OF them being quite serious and it
is to be hoped That the cyclisr VIII
hereafter keep Off the sidewalk with
taeir wheels.

Two attempts at burglary occur
red aere within the last few days,
proving that tne burglars are still with
us, 0n S@ul'lay night, some one
tried TO enter the residence Of Rev.
J. j. Perry at an early hour in the
evening, bit wes frightened away
before he secured anything. sunday
night at eleven o'clock the residence
.of Mrs. Thomas O'Connor was visited
but in this case also he was heard by
the family and left When he discovered
that he nad aroused them In the lat
ter case he climbed upon the roof OF
the back piazza and tried to@open a
winuow-bind.
The idea that this expert and sys
temaAc thieving is the work OF ser
vents employed on tAe premises is
hardly plausible as in many of the
houses entered. no servants are EN-
ployed. The police should certainly
be on the alert 20 capture the thiei
or thieves and put all end to mis- bold
raids.
