Washington, April 19.-The Demo.
Gratis and the Republican insurgents
rode rough-shod over the house lead
ers yesterday when the voting began
on the Cuban reciprocity bill They
oYerthrew the ruling of the chair in
committee of the whole on the ques
tion OF the sermaneness of an amend
ment to remove the dfferential from
refined sugar during the existence OF
the reciprocity agreement provided for
in the bill. The vote to overrule the
decision of the chair, made by Mr..
sherman. of New York, was III to
l3O, Republicans to the number of 81
joining with q solid Democratic vote
to accomplish this result. Having Won
this preliminary victory the amend.
ment was adopted in committee, 164
to Ill, and later in the house by a
still larger majority, 1919 to 105 On
this occasion "a Republicans voted
with the Democrats for the amend.
ment. The bill then was passed by
an overwhelming majority, PAT. to 81.
An analysis of the vote shows tbat
i-1 ieepuDiitdiiS anu lZo democrats
voted for the amended bill and ~ Re
publicans and 10 Democrats against
it. Mr. Grosvenor. of Ohio, was one
OF those who voted against the bill.
The Democrats attempted to follow
up their advantage when the differen.
tial amendment was adopted by offer
ing the Bahcock bill and other amend
ments to reduce the Dingley schedules.
but on these amendments the Repnb.
cans declined to stand with them,
and the Democrats did not press them
vigorously. One OF the surprises OF
the session was the attempt OF Mr..
Roberts "A Massachusetts Republican.
to take the duty off hides. He offered
two amendments, and appealed once
from the decision Of the chair, but was
voted down each time.
The bill as passed auttia2rizes the
president. as soon as may be after the
establishment of an independent gov.
ernment in Cuba and the enactment by
said government of immigration ex.
clusiOn and contract labor laws as

Five More Lines.
$2oo.ooo,ooo COMPANY FORMING
Clement Griscom Gives Out Details Of
the Latest Trust, and Says 1t Will
Reap No Benefits From Ship Subsidy
Bill Should 1t Become a Law.

Philadelphia. April 21.-Details re-
garding the combination of trans
Atlantic steamship lines We're given
out yesterday 1t was stated that one
company. to be controlled by Ameri.
cans, will absorb the American, Red
Star, White Star, Dominion. Atlantic
Transport and Leyland lines the
stockholders in those companies eX
OF the new company. 1t is probable
that later the Cunard, Wilson and Hol
land-American lines will be absorbed
There will be close working agree
ment with the North German Lloyd,
Hamburg-American. Compagnie Gen
erale Trans-Atlantique, Allan State
and Anchor lines. With this arrange
ment there can be no possibility of
rate wars, or even real competition.
Clement A. Griscom, president OF
the International Navigation company,
one of the five transatlantic steam
ship companies which have been
merged under the direction of J. Pier
pont Morgan, said: The capitalization
of the consolidated companies. will be
in the neighborhood of 5000, 900 900.
which sum about represents the prop
erty absorbed. The consolidation will
result in better transatlantic service,
steadier and more uniform rates
just distribution OF traffic over all
American and Canadian seaports, in
creased lines on the Pacific and better
service to South Africa as traffic may
be found to justify them Having lines
between Great Britain and Australia
and New Zealand. and intimate con
nections with the far east. American
manufacturers will be able to dis
tribute their products on through bills
of lading and avoid the expense o.
s-shipments which they now
incur
''There is no political significance
in this deal" continued Mr.. Griscom.
'"The negotiations have covered a
period of many years, and was inter
ested in the subject as far back as
1884. The passage of the ship subsidy
bill would have but one effect so far
as the new enterprise is concerned. II
would enable us to sail ships now
building and hereafter built under the
American flag on an equal footing with
the ships Of other countries. The pub
lished statements that the ship sub
sidy bill would enable us to sail our
foreign vessels under the Stars and
Stripes are incorrect. as the bill speci
fically states that only Amerlcan-built
ships can benefit by It's provisions.
and, furthermore. such a course. II
possible, is contrary to the whole
scheme.
I'VE have existing only four small
vessels that might benefit by the pas.
sage of the BILL and they are on the
Pacific. While in the coastwise trade
in which they are now engaged. the
provisions of the bill would not apply
to them. After our present mail con
tract expires the four American trans
Atlantic liners of the International
Navigation company are eligible for a
new contract. either under the present
postal law or under any new act that
might be passed by congress.
