UNDER AMERICAN FLAG
MORGAN COMBINE WILL oPER-
 ATE ITS sHIPSl
New Shipping Bill Will Be Urged Upon Congress by thef trust. Rule or Ruin is the Keynote.

London, April A.-The Daily Mail this afternoon affirms that the agreement of the Atlaptic Shipping Combination con- tains secret clauses to the effect that the American promoters of the concern intend to ask Congress to pass new shipping bill permitting foreign built vessels to be brought under the American flag.
 The adhesion of the Cunard Line is practically certain, continues The Daily Mail, and the cUrporation will be formed mainly with American capital. It will take over ,he enilre British shipping con- panies. Those companies refusing to join the combine will be compelled 10 fight for their eXistcnce.'
 for the three or four years that the present admiralty contracts still have to run, the paper adds the vessels will re- main under the British flag At the ex- plratio0 of this t!mn all will pass under the American flag and be owned anc run by the above mentioned corporation. Its competition to every portion or the globe.
 The Daily Express declares the ship ping comdna ten Is trying to coercc ''an- ada into accepting it's terms and rondi- ilOn5 &5 to emigration rates ;.pd tra fflc, and that if resistance is made. the com blnation will buy up the Cana dian Pacific Railway and declare C2mrncrcial war. It IS the Intention of the combination, says The Daily Express. to demand that the Canadian emigration departme mt in Lon don should cease to give facilities Co Cld- CT. DempSter and Company.

A Groundless Panic.

Louisville Courier Journal.
 The beet sugar industry in the United Sates is comparatively new, but cane sugar production we have had for long time. The sugar beet. however is the main object of solicitude in Congress be- cause it is produced in Northern States. The Louisiana members of Congress try to be better proectioniiStS than the Re publcans, but they do not get much at tention for all that because they call themselves Democrats. However, they unite with the beet sugar men in pre- dieting rretrievable disaster if a reduc- tion of 20 per cent. be made ill the duty on Cuban sugar.
 The duty on all our dutiable imports of sugar in the fiscal year 1901 was on an average equivalent to 8 per cent. ad valorem. Reduce this 20 per cent. and we still have on the same basis duty equivalent to IS. 40 per cent. But this is an average for imports from all coun- tries and not specifically applicable to Cuban sugar. In his speech on the reclp- rocity bill MT. Long of Kansas. Re- publican member of the Ways and Means Committee. said that the Cuban planter now receives only $l.60 per hundred for his sugar. while the duty is $l.6So, or 1l5 per cent ad valorem. Twenty per cent. from this would leave S per cent, but as it is expected that the Cuban price will rise the actual ad Valorem equivalent after the reduction is put at o9 per cen; Is that a ruinous reduction? Does 1t justify MT. Broussard in giving away his sugar seed and turning his attention to rice?
 The tariff act of 1S46 put tax of 90 per cent. on sugar, and under that the industry was not injured. That, however, was before the production of beet sugar in Europe attained such great propor- tions, so that 1t may not be considered pertirert to the present discussion. But thes tariff act of 1894 put d duty on raw sugar of 10 per cent. Did that put the Louisiana planters out of business, or stop the production of beet sugar? Not at all. The production of beet sugar in creased rapidly under it and the pro ducers boasted that they could realize good profit even under free trade. As to cane sugar which was produced at d profit under a tariff of 30 and 10 per cent. it Is hard to see what danger it is in under a protection of 69 per cent. as against Cuban sugar.
 The real objection to the proposed scheme of reciprocity with Cuba is not that 1t will hurt any domestic industry. but that it is too small d measure of relief to Cuba, and will buy concessions too small materially to increase our eN- port trade. The panic of the sugar pro- ducers is quite groundless.

THE TELLER PROPOSITION.
Republicans Disposed to Accept First
 Part of It.

Washington. April 24.-The Republican members of the Committee on Relations with Cuba today considered the course to be pursued on the resolution intro duced by Senator Teller. directing the Cuban Committee to investigate the re- port that the present crop of Cuban su- gar is held by the sugar trust. From the exchange of opinions it was made evident that a. majority of the Repub- licans are disposed to accept the first part of the resolution, while none ot them will stand with the opposition mem bers in supporting the second part Of it,
 The portion favoraby considered is that directing an inquiry into present sugar holdings. The other portion directs an investigation of the entire question of reciprocity with Cuba and it is to this portion of the resolution that special objection Is made. Senator Platt of Con- necticut, chairman of the committee. an- nounced that a meeting of the commit tee would be called for tomorrow to con sider the Teller proposition.
