STEAMSHIP RATE AGREEMENT BROKEN
Three Lines Withdraw from Compatible
Rate War at Present Likely.

London. May 10.-The withdrawal of the Cunard
Line from the agreement of the combination OF
steamship lines was followed to-day by an official
announcement from the White Star. Dominion, and
American Line combination that these lines had
given notice of their withdrawal from the North
Atlantic passenger conference first and second
class rate agreements and third class British.
scandinavian and Continental agreements
The announcement explains that this action
taken in view of the withdrawal Of the Cunard
Line from all passenger rate agreements recently
arranged account of the refusal Of the American
government to consent to the American Line chang
ing its mail service sailing day. 1t therefore
felt necessary that the other lines should he equally
free from all agreements. as to be able to pro-
tect themselves against action the Cunard
Line might fit to take. The Allan. Anchor, and
Cunard lines which have been parties to the agree
ments, have been informed of the combinations
withdrawal.
Liverpool. May 1O-An official Of the White Star
Line, representing the shipping combination, this
evening officially confirmed the announcement OF
the withdrawal of the White Star, Dominion and
American lines from certain agreements of the
North Atlantic passenger conference and the other
statements contained in the Lon lon dispatch.
1t was stated tonight that there likel-
hood of the action leading to a rate while the
passenger business is brisk at full rates. 1t is
rather precautionary measure against the Cunard
Company.
John Lee, first vce-president of the International
Mercantile Marine Company. said yesterday that he
had received no official advces regarding the with
drawal, and did not believe the report.
IF any such withdrawal was adopted, said Mr.
Lee. the New-Yorl1 Office would be notified imme
diateIy."
Vernon H. Brown of the Cunard Line could not
confirm the report and secuted the idea that there
would be any rate cutting.
An officer of one of the Zig lEes said that rate
war was one Of the most unlikely possibilities
tie summer rush was now abnormal, and whatever
TI5puteS me various lines may have they would not
rum lhtir business by rate slashinS.

Detroit, Aug. 26.-Work on the rail-

under the Detroit river between Wind
sor and Detroit began yesterday when
a force of workmen commenced sink
ing the initial shaft on the American
side. A similar shaft will shortly be
sunk on the tunnel line on the Cana

preliminary surveying and testing to
-be done. the location of the tunnel is
practically decided upon.
The actual length of the under.
ground portion of the tunnel will be
two and six-tenths miles and the dis.
tance from surface to surface almost
exactly three miles. 1t is estimated
that between two and three years will
be occupied In the construction.

drowned this morning in six and half
feet of water in the shaft of the City
of Cripple Creek mine.
Mr.. Bliley, who had contract for
pumping water from the mine. at 6
o'clock descended to the lower level
with his son to see that everything
was in working order. The son was
sent to point twenty feet higher and
returned in a few minutes. He found
his fathers hat floating on the water.
The alarm was given and Willard
Wyatt and ]. S. Walker descended to
the pump to bring Bliley to the sur.

Denver, Aug. 2S-Next week the
streets of Denver will be swarmine
with people. Not less than 126,00C
are to be provided for in this city, and
unless the public awakens to the re
sponsibility that will be imposed upon
it to keep it's promises of entertaining
this vast .throng from all parts Of the
United States, it will find that it has
invited guests and forgotten to provide
the promised hospitality.
Officials of the Santa Fe road alone
have stated to the executive commit
tee of the G. A. R. that it is preparing
to bring in $4,000 from the state OF
Kansas alone, while the Union Pacific
says it will bring in 10000 from. the
, same state.
More than a month ago the chair
man OF the Western Traffic Association
stated that $4,000 people had already
booked for the trip, and since then
thousands more have signified their
intention Of being here.
Perhaps 10000 persons will be here.
The Union Depot Company will build
two large baggage platforms to handle
the encampment traffic alone, and will
install forty-four extra baggagemen,
who will work on regular shifts night

is to the effect that at least twenty-five
per cent reduction will be made in the
