craving, etc Mr.. Hatch will take with
him D. ]. Guilfoyle, a portrait engraver

letter engraver.
The plans for the system are being
formulated in this country, where Chi

time.
The commissioners sent to this coun-
try were SO impressed with the results
of their inspection of the bureau of

Broughton Brandenburg of Cleveland let

this city for several days. appeared in
police court yesterday, when his bond was

deal in event Of his consent to return to
New York for trial, and 1t Is presumed
that these assurances have been forth

no one in New York who would have as

have aided him from the beginning of his
trouble. He leaves here today for New

Many Bothersome Questions.

OF course, England, just now. is con-
fronted with many perplexing questions.
such as the old age pensions, the licensing
bill. unemployment of thousands. de-

Mr.. Haldane. the secretary for war, hint

problems pending a cabinet of experts

A we'll Informed shipping correspondent
makes an interesting communication with
reference to the proposal of Herr Ballin
head of the Hamburg American Line, to
pool the north Atlantic traffic. The great
Atlantic shipping companies are face to
face with hard times, due mainly to the
practical disappearance of the European
emigrant. the backbone of their business
Cabin traffic has not been at all bad. but
cabin traffic alone does not pay. 1t is the
masses rather than the classes who yield
the revenue. The financial panic in the
United States has cost the steamship
lines dear, and more especially those
which laid down extensive shipbuilding
programs In the belief that the volume Of
Atlantic travel could never shrink. Then
the Hamburg-American and Norddeutsch-
|er-Lloyd companies have far more steam
ships than they can profitably employ.
Confronting them is the prospect of the
delivery of new tonnage which they do
not want and for which they have to pay.
None of the English companies is in this
position.

Herr Ballin's Scheme.

Herr BALM, the master mind of Ger

which. in his opinion. will favorably meet
the situation. He proposes what is moth

American, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Ham
burg American lines, whereby they shall
regulate both their sailing and their ship
building programs and contribute to a
fund for the breaking up of their older
and slower boats. The prospects of a
saving of So, 100000 a year to the COM
panies by some such scheme is dangled
before their eyes. Moreover. the recon-
stitution Of the north Atlantic conference,
which broke up during the recent rate
war, has provided base for further
working agreement.
If the minimum rates chargeable by
each boat of each of the north Atlantic
companies can be graded 1t will not be
impossible to arrange a reduced sailing
plan, regulated shipbuilding program
and a sort Of levy to pay for the selling
at breaking-up prices of the older and
slower tonnage. Ballins scheme was
brought to the attention of the COM
panies concerned two months ago, but II
