CUNARD LINE NAY FOLLOW
Morgan Combine May Also Get
 Control of the Cunapdeps.

London Newspapers Are Trying to
 Work Up Some Excitement Over It
 Merchants Across the Water Not
 Worried Over It-They Claim the
 Results of Combination Here Will
 Be to Their Interests.
 New York; July 19.--NFhile there is general expectation in Liverpool ship ping circles that the Cunard line will be drawn into the Morgan combination, there is less excitement over it there than in London newspaper offices, says a London dispatch to the Tribune This is because the Wide-awake merchants have watched the effect Of the formation of the United States Steel corporation and observed that the export of iron and steel from Germany and England to America has been in- creased. They assert that the results of combination ill that trade are re- duction of American production by the closing of many unprofitable works, a rise in prices through scarcity of the supply of metal for the home market, the reduction of American exports from England and Germany to fill the vacuum. Analogy is drawn between iron and steel and ocean traffic and a forecast is made that a rise in freights through American combinations will involve increased prosperity for Brit ish shipping outside the central pool.

A YELLOW STORY
One Which Said Pope Leo Was Displeased with Commission.
INSTEAD. HE IS PLEASED.

The Event Is One of the Happiest of
 His Pontifcate--The Work for Which
 the Commission Was Appointed ia
 Ended and a Farewell Audience
 Will Be Given Governor Taft On
 Monday.
 Rome, July 19.-The dispatch from Rome published in the Daily Chronlcla of London to-day, asserting that sEe pope is intensely displeased at the way in which the commission of cardinals has conducted the negotiations with Judge Taft ill the matter of the friarS in the Philippines, that he has. annulled the procedure of the commission and has Summarily dissolved it, expressing the view that the American demands were reasonable and signifying hlsI readiness to treat with Judge Taft per derstanding of the situation. The commission of cardinals was not sum marily dissolved. It's work ended with the acceptance of Cardinal Rampolla's proposition to defer further discussion of the negotiations to Manila. As all the parties agreed to this it is absurd to say that the pope is desirous of per- sonally treating with Judge Taft. On the contrary, the pope has expressed the highest satisfaction witli the result of the negotiations. He said that shav- ing started direct relations with Wash ington IS one of the happiest events of my pontificate."

INHABITANTS ALARMED.
Land Submerged by Water and Crops
 Are Destroyed.

Hannibal, Mo, July 19.-The hood conditions on Bay Island and the pot tom lands between Hannibal and west Quincy are alarming. Bay Island contains about 10000 acres of cultiVat- ed land upon which were the finest crops of wheat and corn, but the en- tire island, except a few elevated spots, is now submerged from the depth or from one to six feet.
 It is believed that the entire crop oI corn is ruined and the wheat, Wnlcl was in shock, is a total loss. The es- timated loss on this island alone Is $25,000.
 The stage of the river to-day Is four teen feet and six inches, one foot and six inches above the danger line. Ac cording to the weather bureau repor' there is to be a further rise of tive feet. which will inundate all the low lands in the Mississippi bottom.
 Farmers have been busy for the lasl three days getting their stock of the bottoms and driving it to the higl lands. They have about abandoned ai their crops and many of the renter! have lost everything. The damage b1 high water cannot be estimated, Dl1r ! probably will reach $5O0,000.

GOLF UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Heavy Rains Submerge Part of the
 Courses

Glenview Golf Course, III, July l9.- The finals in the amateur golf cham pionship between E. NJ. Byers of Pitts burg and Louis James, the GlenVleW boy, were played to-day under condl- tions that could not well have been worse During the night the SkokIe stream had continued to rise until the low-lying lands to the west and south, west, on which the last nine holes of the picturesque course are iald out, were almost entirely submerged. A large body of workmen were busy ear ly this morning working on the first nine holes of the course, draining off the casual water on the greens and put ting the course ill as good condition as possible, but last nights heavy rain had so thoroughly soaked the al- ready sodden ground that their eff forts were of little avail. Notwith- standing the unfavorable conditions, a fair sized gallery was present when play was called and followed the play closely.

Woman Who Killed Two Set Free.

Woman Who Killed Two Set Free.
 CARBONDALE, ILL, July 19.-The Jaubert brothers, who operated small coal mine near Oraville, were both shot to death at their home yesterday by the wife of one of the men. They had returned home, and the husband de- manded his supper. Mrs. Jaubert un- dertook it's preparation, and her hus- band began breaking the dishes and at last attacked her. Mrs Jaubert and her sister fled to back room and locked the door. The husband followed, broke in the door. and renewed the assault, Whereupon the infuriated wife fired three shots into his body, one passing through his heart, causing instant death. The brother took up his broth CTS quarrel and attempted to strike the woman, whereupon Mrs. Jaubert emptied the two remaining chambers of the revolver into his body, infiicting a wound from which he died shortly afterward The woman gave the alarm and surrendered to an officer. Coroner Knauer impaneled jury, who exoner- ated the wife. The brothers had been noted for years for their brutal ways.

EFFECT OF NINE HOUR DAY
City Court Not Helped By It, Despite
 Reports That 1t Would Be

City Court Not Helped By It. Despite
 Reports That 1t Would Be.
 It cannot be said that the nine hour work day has increased the business of the city court. If it has had any effect at all so far upon that institu- tion it has been remarkable in it's op- positeness to the statements and evil dent expectations of many when it was first talked of here. It was said the only use the workingman would make of the extra hour he would have to himself would be to spend it in reck- lessness and dissipation and make bus mess for the police and the city court and this notwithstanding that the shorter work day had been in vogue among most of the building trades for some years. But it was said the fac tory hand was different He was so much confined that he would let him. self loose during the hour between quitting work and supper and it would be doubtful if he ever got to his sup per, and if he did he would not be so- Der,
 The shorter work day has been in practice now for some weeks and it is remarkable that during that time the business of the city court has been extraordinarily light. It cannot be said that the mischief makers are those who leave the city for the shore, for that would be an inconsistency too glaring to need denial. And during the past week or two during which ehe shorter work day or the Saturday half holiday has been extended to many factories there has been no business to speak of in the city court, while
 during the past week there has been
 no court excepting one day, and then the business was of the most trivial character.
 Still, this is the season when the city court is usually busy. The hot weath- CT drives people into temptation, over indulgence in strong drink is consid- cred more excusable at this time of the year than at any other, if it is excus- able at all Those who opposed the shorter work day for fear the factory hand would drink himself to death or spend the remainder of his life in jail are furnished food for deep thought in this condition of things. Again to- day there was no business for the city court.

LIQUOR MEN TO ORGANIZE.
The Retail Men Will Meet for That
 PurnoSe Next Week N

The Retail Men Will Meet for That
 Purpose Next Week.
 The retail liquor dealers of this city are about to organize an association, which will probably be known as the Retail Liquor Dealers association. Accordingly a call has been issued for all local retail liquor dealers of this city to attend a meeting which will be held in the room above the Buffers and Polishers' hall on Grand street next Thursday afternoon at o'clock. No wholesale liquor dealers will be allow ed to become members of the aSsocia- ton.
 A prominent liquor dealer, who is very much interested in the formation of the proposed association, spoke of it as follows to-day: ''Yes, we intend ito form retail liquor dealers associa- tion. No wholesaler is wanted. We are now paying $2 more for cask of ale than we ought to. A short time ago the war tax of $1 on a barrel of ale was removed but the retail deal CTS have to pay the same price as be- fore. We have received no benefit by the removal of the tax. When the as- sociation is organized we intend to bny direct from the out of town breweries- We will buy two or three carloads of stuff at time and we will, therefore, get it at a reasonable price. Two or three years ago we had liquor deal CTS association but wholesalers be- longed to it. It was of no account We got no benefit from it. There were S600 or $70O in the treasury for which no accounting has been made as yet Forty or fifty retail dealers have al- ready signifed their intention of ioin- ing the association.
