cUNARp's BID FOR TRADE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-The new
Mediterranean service OF the Cunard
Line, which was inaugurated today
with the departure Of the steamship
Aurania for Gibraltar. Genoa. Naples
and Their Mediterranean ports. is like
ly to precipitate the rate war which
has been predicted for some time.
When the Cunard company withdrew
from the Morgan combination is was
freely predicted that 1t was only the
preparatory step toward making a
strong bid for a larger share of the
south OF Europe immigrant traffic,
hitherto practically controlled by the
German and Italian lines. These pre-
dictions are now verified. Maritime
interests are now eagerly awaiting
further developments.

IMMIGRANT RATE SITUATION.

NEW YORK. Oct 2S.-Of more than
ordinary Importance and interest is
the conference on immigrant traffic
senger association and the Trunk
Line Passenger committee, That final
settlement will be reached at the con-
ference is hardly expected, owing To
the complications involved.
The controversy is the most serious
that has arisen in some years to dis
turb railroad rates. and the situation
has now reached that point where 1t
appears certain that the western pas
senger agents must consent to the ne.
COLLATION. of a new deal or see the har.
monious relations of several years
standing completely broken.
AS near as can be learned from
sources to be relied upon. the situa-
ton now and the causes and incidents
leading up to the conference are as
follows:
When the immigrant bureau was
established, the eastern and western
lines did not get along very happily
with one another. The latter Insisted
on routing passengers from New
York to destination. and the latter con-
tended that this was tantamount to
usurping their province and function
Following acrimonious exchanges from
time to time, an agreement was made
which gave the Trunk Lin committee
roads the right to route immigrants
from New York to Chicago From
there on the control was vested in the
Western association. 1t was further
agreed that each should give the other
information gained as to the routing
of this class OF business by outside
agents.
Some weeks ago the Ontario 4
Western objected to the commission
er of the Trunk Line committee CIV
ing information as to It's immigrant
traffic on the ground that some of It's
western connections were opposed to
the practice. This brought on an in
vestigation which demonstrated that
the Ontario q Western were not re-
ceiving altogether fair treatment from
the Western Passenger association.
For this reason the agreement to ex-
change information was suspended by
the Trunk Line committee.
Months ago the Rock Island with
drew from the Immigrant Bureau on
its California business. because It's de-
mand for greater allotment was de.
MED and 1t has ever since remained
firm in It's refusal to return unless
its asserted rights received recDRni-

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2s.-Lieuten.

sporting proposition. He hopes to or
ganize among loyal and patriotic
American citizens syndicate 10 hit
the North Pole. He hopes TO be a
more successful challenger than Sir
Thomas LiptonJ however This is the
way he appealer to his hearers:
On my plan and with my methods.
an expedition. which would In all pro-
liability secure the pole. can be fitted
out for two years AT cost of $780,
900. The only expensive item in that
outfit will be powerful ship which
shall push me to the northern shore of
Grant Land.
There are hundreds of men In this
country today who could defray the
expenses of an expedition and never
feel IT,, thousands who could defray
a tenth. hundreds of thousands who
could defray a hundreth.
I'VE have spent and are spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
an idea or principle. Take a single
example, the international yacht races.
A reliable New York paper stated re-
Gently that the cost of the last yacht
race to the American side alone was
in the neighborhood of $500 600, and
that II has cost us to defend the cup
in the last Ave years some $4,000. 900.
For less than one-fourth of the former
sum. less than one-tenth of the latter
we can secure the pole
And how do the races compare?
The races for the Americas cup have
been in progress for tens of years be-
tween two nations. the race for the
pole hundreds of years between prac-
tically all the civilized wofid
There have been numbers OF cup
defender syndicates and will be num-
beers more. The syndicate that lifts
the pole will have no successor and
can never be beaten.
The winning of the yacht race is
matter of today; the winning OF the
pole Is for all time.
is II worth while? Certainly II is
worth while As a matter of the val
liable additions to geography and sci
ence It worth while.

las a matter of prestige, 1t is worth
while. Abruzzlt's expedition. costing
100000, was worth many times its
cost to Italy in Increased prestige.
Abruzzi drove home to the civilized
world the fiber of which Italians are
