that cannot be broken except by force of
arms. For all that. there are plenty of

The acceptance OF this rule is made OPP
tional with the present shareholders. who
may. II they wish, exchange their present
stock for preferred stock.
That most of them will take the new

WORLDWIDE SHIPPING TRUST
vOlve Junction with HIS
Lines on Pacific.

NEW YORK, April 25.-One Of the lead
ing spirits in the international shipping
concern organized by J. p. Morgan & Co.
today issued a denial Of the report that
pressure is being brought to bear to force
the Compa gnie General Trans-Atlantique
into the combination. 1t is admitted that
negotiations lave taken place between Mr..
Morgan and representatives Of the French
line, but they have not advanced to that
stage where they can be publicly discussed.
1t has been suggested that the new COM
bination probably will enter into close re-
lations with the Pacific steamship lines
controlled by ]. ]. Hill, thus e~ffecting a
worldwide community Of steamship inter
ests" with resultant increase Of business to
the transcontineRtal railroad lines. Such
suggestions are said to be premature, but
It Is we'll known that the Morgan and Hill
interests in the steamship business, no less
than in several railroad schemes, are prac-
tically Identical.
There is no thought at this time Of TAX
ing any OF the coastwise lines into the
Morgan combination. although 1t is pointed
out that several such lines running to Mex
leo, Central and South American ports offer
great possibilities in the way Of increased
business.

MANILA, April 25.-Lieutenant Colonel
Frank d. Baldwin, who is operating against
the Moros on the island of M~indanao, tele-
graphs that tbs capture Of Sultan Pualos
Forthas a a most salutary effect. The

advance OF the Americans will mean impas-
sable barriers, with God judging the right.
Colonel Baldwin has received orders to

that they have not had time to cooperate.
He thinks their alarm may cease and prac-

the general estate is ample to pay these
liens, while the defendant. contends that
the property in this state should be made
subject to them.
