does to the great weight Of thirty and even
forty pounds and losing nothing in SAVIOR

regal OF our remaining game birds is his
blood brother, the wild turkey, from which
he has descended. There Is perhaps no In

CABIN RATES DOWN
TRANSATLANTIC TRAVEL
WILL BE CHEAPER.
French Line Follows Lead Of Hamburg.
American and North German Lloyd
in Cutting Fares.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Announce-
ment is made by the French line of a
reduction in It's minimum 1rst-cabin
rate to Europe, TO meet the sharp cuts
made by the Hamburg-American and
North German Lloyd lines. whose pas
senger schedules for eastward traffic
were recently materially lowered.
The reduction of the French line rate
was put into effect today. and when the
news became known officials of the
White Star line said hat their COM
pany would likely meet the reduction
within a few days. The Cunard line
has made no change in its minimum
first-cabin rates as yet. Maritime cir
cles are apprehensive that an ocean
rate war may develop as an outcome of
the cuts made by the three steamship
lines.
There have been no changes so far in
the maximum first-eabin, second class
OF Storage rates for the intermediate
season, and officials of the various
transatlantic lines, while indicating the
uncertainty of the present situation.
hope that some adjustment may be
reached in the intermediate season
rates.
The reduction of the minimum first
cabin rates by the. French line today
amounts to from $40 tic $25 on it's vari-
Gus ships. The minimum rate on the
Provence was reduced from s95 to SIS.
and on the Lorraine and Savoie the
rate wal reduced from $95 to $40.
An official of one of the companies
said today that the present trouble
was caused by the inability of the
companies 10 agree upon the rates for
the recently-built slow-going steam
ships. No change will be made in first
cabin rates from Europe until after the
summer season, as the companies have
all their ships booked to their full
quota until near the latter part of
October. In the meantime the Off
Gals of the affected companies may
reach an agreement and check further
rate cutting.
All the steamship lines recently cut
their steerage rates by an agreement
in order t combat the Russian Vol
unteer fleet, which has established a
service between Libau, Rotterdom and
this city. An official of the French
line said today that a further cut in
steerage rates might be expected in
the fight against the Russian line.
Hamburg. Aug. 26.-The agent of the
cunard Line for Germany today formally
announced a reduction of $3.50 in second
class and steerage rates from Hamburg
to New York via Liverpool. and also that
the Cunard Lines bottom price for
first, cabin was $92..50
The Cunard Line mas thus gone a step
further thar the German lines. by redrc-
ing its second-class and Storage rates,
| which is regarded as being equivalent
to a rate war with the Mercantile Marine
Company.
