Germans Not Losers
by the Deal.

London, April 29.-The Shipping
Gazette says: While it is perfectly
true that the White Star line has not
been sold 10 the American syndicate,
and that the present owners of shares
retain their holdings, the statements
made Saturday do not fully represent
the real position. We are authorita-
lively Informed that while there has
been no sale of White Star shares there
viii be an exchange OF these shares
for those of the new company. In
this way the financial interest of the
White Star in the combine will be es-
tablished. The two great German com
panies will, on the other hand, make
TO similar exchange of their shares for
those of the new company, but they
will enter into an agreement, binding
them for ten years and renewable for
another ten years by which their CO.
operation is secured.
Parliamentary Committee Appointed.
The simplest way of Indicating the
real position is TO describe the com
panies concerned as entering into Il
pooling arrangement. 1t follows that
there will be no competition between
them at the ports with which the in
dividual corporations have hitherto
been more particularly Unidentified"
The parliamentary committee appoint
ed by the admiralty to consider the
question of subsidies as affected by
the new Atlantic shipping combine,
and the best means of obtaining for
the naval service auxiliary steamers
of greater speed and efficiency than
the ships now employed. Will be pre-
sided over by the Earl of Camperdown,
Il former lord of the admiralty. The
other members of the committee are
Vice Admiral Fitzgerald, Professor
Byles. Captain Stafford. R.~N., and rep
reSentatiYeS of the treasury and post
Office.
No British Law Against the Merger.
The committee will report on the
notifications necessary in existing
contracts and what alteration in the
present rate of subsidy will be neces-
Sary to prevent vessels passing TO a
foreign flag without the permission of
the admiralty. In the house of COM
mons the president of the board of
trade. Gerald BalfOur. replying TO Il
question. said the board had no power
TO require the disclosure of any agree
ment for the transfer Of British ship
White Star line or other lines which
had entered into the American cOmbi-
nation to disclose the terms of their
n agreements with the American syndi-
cate. or to produce and documents
showing the status of the persons who,
under the agreements, acquire Il share
in the control or Il beneficial interest
in the ships concerned.

RECIPROCITY SAFE.
Leaders Certain That Cuban Relief
Hill VIII Pass.

Bill VIII Pass.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-With the
close of the Cuban reciprocity debate
in the house yesterday the leaders an
nounced that all danger of the bill be-
ing weighted down with undesirable
amendments was over and that they
felt assured the bill would pass in the
shape in which it came from the COM
mittee. AS the bill in its present form
is sure to command three-fourths OF
the vote of each side of the house It's
passage was certain If 1t successfully
passed the stage when amendments
could be offered.
The only cause of anxiety heretofore
has been the possibility that enough
Republicans would join with the Dem
ocrats to overrule the chair and tack
an to the bill an amendment to abolish
ahe differential on refined sugar.
Mr.. Watson Qnd), who is acting as
the whip for the majority, does not be-
Meve over dozen Republicans at the
outside will join the Democrats on this
proposition. 1t would require more
than twenty Republican votes to place
ON the bill the amendment which might
endanger its ultimate passage, as sew
sral Democrats, it is understood also
have declared their Intention to stand
by the ruling of the chair.

BRUSSELS. Belgium. April 1G.-The
government has firmly declined to yield
OIL the question of revision. and unless
King Leopold should override the gov
erument there seems to be nothing to
prevent the development of serious
situation.
In the chamber of deputies NJ. Neu-
jean presented manifesto on behalf
Of the Liberal members of the Leftists
demanding dissolution in order to ena-
ale the country TO pronounce on the re-
vision question. This manifesto point
ed out that the time was critical and
the country threatened with civil war;
and for the government to consent TO
loyal and constitutional settlement
could not be represented as II surrender
TO popular disorder.
Today the Socialist members OF the
shamber will present their demand for
universal suffrage. This will inevitably
be defeated, and it is feared that this
defeat will lead to trouble, particularly
In the provinces.
No noteworthy incident occurred in
the streets of the city. The authorities
have taken extraordinary measures tC
avert disorders, and the whole quarter
comprising the chamber of deputies
slse palace and the ministries is kept in
complete isolation from the rest Of the
city by cordons of the city guard.
The strike movement in Brussels and
as environs is of n minor character,
but in the Industrial districts ii is more
formidable than ever.
From Renaix, in Flanders, some dy'
numite outrages have been reported
and an attempt was made to set fire &c
n chateau belonging to Nj. Malandor, a
Former deputy. But nowhere was any
serious damage done. Several arrests
have been made in Brussels and in the
pruvinces as result of collisions with
the police.
The executive department of the in
ternational Socialist bureau has ISSUED
manifesto appealing TO workers in al
countries to support them in theil
struggle against reaction. They declare
n general strike to be the only lega
weapon left to them. They claim tba
100000 men are already out and tha
thIs number will be doubled as pro
test against the attempt of the govern
ment to terrorize the workers.
