A STEAMSHIP TRUST.
All the Great Transatlantic. Lines
Controlled by ]. P. Morgan.
It Is to BE an American Pool with the Com
trolling Interest In New York
Capital VIII Be $780,
O0O -0OO

New York, April Ell. P. Morgan,
who is now abroad, has practically
contaminated a plan to combine all
the leading transatlantic steamship
lines. London dispatches to the Asso-
ciated press announcing the combina-
ton were confirmed at the Morgan
banking house. The companies to be
consolidated will, it is understood, in
clude the American and Red Star
lines, White Star line, Dominion line,
Atlantic Transport line and the Ley
land line. Probable additions to this
list are the Cunard, Wilson and Hol-
land-American companies, and it is
understood that a working agree
ment" will be reached with the other
leading transatlantic companies.
Mr.. Morgan has given the matter
much of his time since his arrival on
the other side. 1t is too early yet
to give the exact scope of the scheme,
but as now outlined there will be an
American holding company into which
all the steamship companies which
propose to enter the combination will
put their stock holdings-"pool their
issues"-in exactly the same way that
the various concerns embraced in the
United States Steel corporation threw
in their holdings, receiving in return
stock of the main parent company.
Just what the capitalization of the
company will be is not yet known
but the amount is likely to be we'll
in excess of $15O,OOO,OOO. This phase
Of the project will depend entirely
upon the number of steamships taken
into the combination.

DOORS OF SALOONS CLOSED.
In Belgium the 100000 Strikers Are Kept
from the Temptation of Liquor
Bakers Are Working.

Brussels, April 1s.-It is estimated
that about 100000 men have gone on
strike. The movement is well or
ganized, but as the men are short of
funds it has been arranged that in
all trades in which the cessation of
operations would cause public fncon-
venience, such as bakers, the men
shall continue working and contribute
to the support of the others. AT Yer
viers, near Liege, the socialists have
persuaded the taverns to close their
doors in order to keep the idle men
from the temptation of liquor.

FEARFUL Loss OF LIFE.
Steamer the Ohio River Near Cairo
Burned and Only Half of the $50
Passengers Were Saved.

Cairo, ILL.,, April 21.-One of the
worst disasters in the history of river
navigation occurred shortly before
four o'clock yesterday morning near
Ogden's landing, near this city.
While almost all aboard were asleep
the steamer City of Pittsburg was
discovered on fire and in few mo-
ments was burned to the waters
edge. The loss of over $4,000 on the
steamer does not include the cargo,
both being total loss. The latest
estimates are that there were $50
persons on board and that no more
than half of them were saved, many
of the latter being burned or injured.
