THAT powerful English syndicate
will make a strong bid for a share of the
passenger and freight trade of the North
Atlantic there can be little doubt. This
combination will have at its head Sir
Christopher Furness. He is quoted as
saying.
oThe Atlantic ocean is big enough
for two shipping combinations to DO
business. There is trade enough to sup
aori mn English syndicate as well as an
Am an, and all must confess that we
can boild ships cheaper here than they
can be built in America. "
80 one will controvert the assertion
that there is room enough on the ocean
f,r two such combines, but the battle Is
on rs % which shall have the supremacy
There can be no denying the fact that >.
pie~pont Morgan and his coadjutors have
caused the greatest apprehension not
cnlv in British shipping circles but III
those If other European countries also.
~. d, ,ertion that ships can be built IN
the British isles cheaper than in the
United States remains to be demonstrat-
e.l. whde those directing the American
combine will go to any extreme to de-
thione Britannia who has so long ruled

The STRIKE

WiIkesbarre, Pa, July S.-President
John Mitchell arrived here from New
York on an early train. At strike head
quarters later he said regarding his mys-
terious visit: 81 went to New York Tor
the purpose of seeing friend, and my
business with him was personal. " The
statement comes from an apparently
reliable source today, however, that there
was more significance in MitchelPs New
York trip than he wishes to admit
This is to the effect that final effort was
made to induce the anthracite operators
in New York to consider an arbitration
plan before the indianapolis miners con-
yentiOn assemblies.

years imprisonment at hard labor at
Clinton prison, Dannemora, was the
sentence meted out to Harvey Bruce

THE HENLEY REGATTA.

Henley on Thames, Eng, July s.
The historic aquatic meet of English
sports opened here today. The day was
hot, but in all other respects fine one
for the rowers. The regatta opened with
heat between the Leander Club and
the Kingston Rowing Club. The Lean
ders won easily. In the second heat
for the grand challenge cup the Argo-
nauts, of Toronto, won from the Univer-
sity College crew. Experts say the
Canadians have a fair chance against
the Leander club. The third heat was
between the London and Thames Clubs.
The London club won. Next was the
diamond SOULS heat between Titus, of
New York, and Field of Oxford, which
was won by Titus. 1t is generally ex-
pected that Smith and Titus will meet
in the final heat for the trophy.

GENERAL FITzHUGH LEE has again
been interviewed ON the Cuban question.
He said:
sKnowing the Cubans as do, and
being in touch by correspondence
with many of them, | firmly believe
that unless confidence is restored in the
stability Of their government and some
relief afforded in the matter Of the sale
of their products there is nothing ahead
for Cuba exceptanarchy and annexation;
for anarchy means interference by the
United States and the hosting OF the
American flag over the new republic to
STAY put 1t will require great skill to
safely steer the independent republic
ship of Cuba, because of the great many
breakers already rolling about her bow,
but the most dangerous obstacle i'll her
course to peace and progress Is the
financial rock.
There are Others who have spoken in
a discouraging manner of the prospects
of the new republic, and their utterances
are plain indications oftheir desires. 1t
has ever been the firm and unalterable
purpose of the United States to finally
annex Cuba, and the fact that the
last Congress refused to grant reciprocity
with the island has rendered conditions
more unsatisfactory to the Cubans, and
the day is not far distant when their
only refuge will be to ask admission as
a State of the American union. This
course has ever been apparent to those
who own property or who have capita
invested in the island. They know by
the past history of Cuba that its future
as an Independent country will be bese
by revolutions which will follow eacl
other with the regularity of thunde
. clouds. The United States can preserv'

cessors may find the task difficult.

THE ACCIDENT TO Mr.. CHAMBER

HE <AttlDENl w YIN. NilANDbh7
LAIN.-As stated yesterday the Colonial
Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, was
severely cut on the head in the after
noon, as the result of cab accident in
Whitehall, London. The Secretary's
hanson was passing through the
Canadian arch when the horse slipped,
and Mr. Chamberlain was thrown for
ward with great violence. His head
struck and shattered the glass front of
the cab. When extricated il was seen
that Mr. Chamberlain head was badly
lacerated and bleeding profusely. A
policeman helped him into another cab
and accompanied him to Charing Cross
Hospital, where his injuries were dressed.
When picked up Mr.. Chamberlain, in
reply to question, said he did not feel
faint, but could not afford to lose such
lot of blood. The cash on his fore
head required a number ofstitches. His
wounds bled great deal. He was
sufficiently injured to necessitate his re-
naming at the hospital all night. His
injuries are not serious and his con-
valescence has already set in.

THE FREIGHT HANDLERS
STRIKE.

Chicago, July S.-Despite the efforts
of the railroads TO relieve the tie-up in
freight traffic caused by the strike of
freight handlers, the situation this
morning is practically unchanged, the
only road succeeding in partially reliey-
ing the congestion of freight being the
Illinois Central. At the freight houses
of other roads the congestion is alarming,
so much so in fact, that number of
large shippers are talking of suspending
business until the trouble is settled.

Ferry Service of It's Own.

The Lackawanna railroad has noti-
fled the Hoboken Ferry company that
the contract for the transportation OF
passengers, freight, and express of the
railroad by the ferry company will not
be renewed after it's expiration.
The reason for this step is that the
Lackawanna management believes that
it ought to have ferry service in the
management of which it will have
Some voice, SO as to secure better SER
vice for it's patrons. 1t is also UNDER
stood that the Lackawanna desires a
better location for it's passenger ter
minals in this city, being especially de-
sirous of securing an uptown ferry
terminal. Under the present arrange
ment the railroad complains of being
at the mercy of corporation which
has no regard for the convenience and
comfort Of the railroads patrons.
The Lackawanna's passenger. milk,

men are clearing off the ground with
all possible haste.
The old rolling mill, engine house,
blast furnace, reservoir, fish plate
mill, stock house, tool houses carpen-
ter shop, stables and various smaller
buildings, including three dwelling
houses are to be razed to the ground,
and the material of their construction
peddled throughout the country.
The contractors estimate Of the usa-
BILE material in the structures being
dismantled is as follows: Light and
heavy timber, 100000 feet; 100000 fire
brick 100000 red brick; 5000 cubic
yards of stone; 100 tons of steel beams.
25 tons of corrugated roofing, 20 tons
Of tin roofing, 4 car loads of roofing
slate, and 400 cast. iron columns.
This represents only the material that
can be used as it stands for construc-
tion purposes. Besides this there are
hundreds of tons of scrap iron of all
kinds, which will be sold by the ton to
various mills.
There isn't a thing of value in, around
or about the tract that the contractors
are not gathering up. They propose to
go through the whole place with a
fine tooth comb. Even the dirt along
the dumps is being screened for scraps
of pig iron. An old sleigh left in one
of the wagon sheds was seized upon as
q something that might realize thirty
