PROCEEDINGS AT BOSTON,.
Brief Sketch Of the Operations of Con-
solidaton by Morse.

Boston. Jan. 30.-The proceedings in this
city for receiverShip for the Console
dated Steamship Co. We're Instituted 81
muitaEeously with those in thu courts a.
Portland, Me. and New York TO-DAY. The
action was brought by William: y Muller
| of Arlington, Mass. whose counsel filed
three bills of complaint against the Con-
soldated ana also against two subsidiary
companies. the Eastern and metropolitan
Steamship Cos.
| Petitions for an INDUCTION against these
companies were also flied today by conn
sci for Mr.. Muller and for the Berwind-
Whyte Coal Co. IN his bill of complaint
Mr.. Muller declares ii hts belief that the
Eastern Steamship Co. has a tota! feat
ing Indebtedness OF s1,35oOO0. and that tho
Metropolitan Co. has a floating indebted
ness of $1,S60000. with unpaid bills OF
$40. Gto and interest on outstanding bonds
of 81 .2E, 900 The immediate cause OF the
petition was the failure of the Eastern
Steamship Co. to pay a demand note 10
Mr. Muller Of $4,000.
1t is expected that as soon as the
United States court in New York acts
upon the petition flied there. similar pro-
ceeGings will! result in the courts here
and in Portland
| The advent Of the Consolidated Steam
ship co. in the courts is regarded bJ
bankers in this city the result of eX-
cessive steamship building and failure on
the part of the company to provide a
sinking fund for the underlying bonds Of
the six companies that We're cons,lidat-
ed by Charles w Morse OF Bath. Me.
1t was Mr.. Morse's ambition to control
a large steamship company engaged IN
the coastwiSe trade. Two years ago he
consolidated all the steamship lines rum
ming between Boston and Maine ports un-
der the head of the Eastern STEAMSHIP
Co. He then went further and obtaine,
control of the Metropolitan Steamship Co
with 4 line Of boats between this city and
New York. and later secured four lines
running south from, New York. the New
Yo.i, & Cuba Mail Route. known as the
Ward Line; the Clyde Steamship Co, the
Mallory Steamship Co. and the New fofR
&; Porto Rico Steamship Co.
The Consolidated Steamship Lines Co.
Maine corporation. was then formed as
a holding company for the SIN lines, VIII
Ian authorized bond issue of $to.cH.Te ~

total amount Of bonds of the SIX COM
NAMES was s21.969.CGO at $ per cent. and
stock Sc, Goo, 600. Later, additional BONDS
were issued by the various companies
which brought the amount to :24.G2io0"
A greater proportion Of these bonds are
held hy private individuals but the stoch
If all is owned by the Consolidated
Steamship Co.
AS soon as the CONSOLIDATED was eff.

IN THE HOUSE.
Urgency Deficiency Bill, Carrying $23'
664,450, Is Passed.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The urgent
deficiency bill was passed by the House
today. The total amount carried by II
is $a3,664,45O, or $4,000 less than as
reported by the committee. The larsess
single reduction was that OF S3oV'ooo
for clothing for the army.
When the session was resumed today
only few pages of the bill remained
to be disposed Of Included III these
was a provision for the appointment
of "a additional policemen for the ne"
House Office building. Chairman raw
ney urged the provision because OF the
necessity for protecting such costly
government property and of guarding
the reputation and honor OF the mem
bers.'
Mr.. Mann. H., opposed the pro-
vision and it was stricken out on
point of order after considerable dis
cuSSiOn.
