WASHINGTON. April 19 Inten- "-ter- est wes manifest among tbe rr v ! the house today as a result o' -'n of the bouse last night In p tbe ways and means commute ,uban reciprocity bill. Chairman Payne took sophtcslly. He pointed of the smendment war tbe differential on . .e phllo- 5 -the effect jff not only ut also the countervailing duty A by tbe Ding ley law, a result r . 1 by the author of the amendment, r, Vnder the Dingley an additional or countervailing duty is levied on sugsrs coming from countries psylng a bounty on sugar, equal In amount to the bounty re ceived. Thia la by section 6 of tbe Dtngley act and Is a provision separate from that making a differential between tbe duty on raw and refined sugar. Mr. Payne holds, . however, that ss the amendment specifies that tbe rate of 1.825 centa shall be "in lieu of the dutlea thereon bow provided by law," It takes off both the differential of about 12 cents per 100 pounds and the countervailing duty of the Dingley law amounting to between 26 and 27 cents per 100 pounds. Sees a (Greater Loss. Mr. Payne stated later in the dsy that tbe abolition of the differential and coun tervailing duties effected an even greater reduction and loae than he bad at first estimated. His earlier figures showed the countervailing duty to be between 26 and 27 rents per 100 pounds. But this referred to rsw sugsr, and tbe countervailing duty on the refined article was even more, namely, .883 per 100 pounds. This, with the differential of .125. makes a total reduction 'on refined sugsr of .SO, per 100 pounds. Mr. Long of tbe ways and means committee also made estimates which. In his Judgment, bore out the fore going figures, thst ths amendment would take off In differential and countervailing duties a total of .i on refined sugsr com ing from Germany and other countries giv ing bounties. - -- Representative Morris of Minnesota, who framed the amendment. Is examining tha Dtngley and other laws to determine whether Mr. Payne's point ia good. Morris said that from hla Inquiry so far he did not think the claim was good, but If It was th matter could easily b remedied by amendment. Bcaate Is t'adeelded. Th sensts Is by no roesns decided si to what It will do with the bill. Tbe mess ure reached th senste a few minutes after tbat body convened today and waa received with excellent interest, which was mad evident by the private comment of sena tors. The bill was referred to the committee on relations with Cuba, which is composed of seven republicans and four opposition senators, upon motion of Mr. Piatt of Cos nectlcut, chairman of the committee. When naked today If b felt disposed to outline his view of the probable course of tbe committee with reference to the measure, Senator Piatt declined to say more than that a meeting would be called at an early data to decide upon a course of action merely adding: "We are not going to loss our composure, but will consider the ques tion carefully." The best opinion Is that ths bill will re main In committee for some tlms, and a republican senstor suggested tbe possibility of an Investigation into the question of the bill beneflclsiies under ths proposed reduction If made. Prehnble Fate of Bill. If the bill had passed the house without an smendment removing tbe differential on refined auger, It would have received the support of two of the four opposition mem bers of tbe committee. These sre Messrs Money snd Simmons, and they are now more than ever pleased with It. On tbe other hand at least two cf the republican member. Messrs. McMillan and Spooner oppose tbe bill. Tb indications are that th democratic strength of ths committee wilt now be thrown to the support of th differential amendment. Hence, It probable that th character of th report to be mad to th senate. If any la mad, will depend upon other republican members of ths committee, Messrs. Piatt, Aldrlch Cullom, Deboe aad Burnbam. Senator Teller says ho will support any action railed t kill the bill In th senate and he to Inclined to think that tha bouse adoption of th amendment for the removal of the differential will hav tbat effect. There are not a few sees tors who predict that th bill will be allowed to dl In com mlttee. ECHOES OF FIGHT IN HOUSE Weeks Tells Groeveaor that Ohject ee Aaseadsneat Waa to Kill Ike BUI. WASHINGTON. April 19 After ths turb ulent seen of yesterday during th passage of ths revised Cuban reciprocity bill, th house settled down t routine business to day. An opportunity was found, however, for the tw slsmests In th recent struggle to give expression t their feelings. This occurred while th fortification appropria tion bill was under consideration. Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, on of th way and meant leader, said that tha amendment which the opponents of th way and means committee had engrafted upon the Payas bill not oaly wiped out ths differential oa sugsr, but also did away wtth the counter vailing duty of the Dtngley law. Mr. Weeka of Michigan made a spirited rejoinder la behalf of thoo who opposed th way and means committee. H frsnkly conceded tht the motlv of th opposition had been to kill the reciprocity bill.

Only yesterday I received Cardi nal Moran of Austrslis, who used to be bishop of Ofcsory in your country, and Archbishop Kelly, who bas gone out to Sydney to fill bis place. Another great Irishman.' "Then, after a little, the pop added: 'Ireland always ha been affectionately in my thoughts. She waa alwaya faithful from the days of St. Patrick to this moment. "Finally, with most touching kindness. the pope said: 'You will take awsy with you my blessing for yourself, your wife, snd for Ireland. I repeat It.

UNION OF SHIP LINES Combination of Leading Transatlantic Linei Will Be Made Ij Morgan. PLAN IS ALREADY CONSUMMATED Capitalisation of the Concern Will Be Almost Fifteen Million Doll an. BRITISH, GERMAN AND AMERICAN LINES Deal ii Announced from Morgan Gompany'i Office in New Tork, LATTER WILL BE AT HEAD OF COMBINE Among f'ompeaeat Companies Are American aad Red Star. Donlslss, White tar. Lcyiaad. Atlaatle Transport and Others. NEW TORK. April 19 J. P. Morgsn, who is now sbrosd, has practically con summated a plan to combine all the lead ing transatlantic steamship lines. London dispatches to tbe Associated Press announc ing the combination were today confirmed at the Morgan banking house. The com panies to be consolidated will, it la under stood, Include the American and Red Star lines. White Star line. Dominion line, At lantic Transport line and the Leyland line. The two last named lines have been under Morgan control for some time. Probable additions to thla list are the Cunard, Wil son and Holland-American companies, and. It is understood that a "working agree ment" will be reached with the other lead ing tranaatlantlc companies, including the North Germsn Lloyd, Hambtirg-Amertcan, General Transatlantic (French), Allen aud Anchor lines. Mr. Morgsn haa given the natter much of his time since his arrival on the other side. In this country the mor Imoortant details have been In the hands of Clement A. Grlscom of the American line, while Charles Steele, Mr. Morgan's partner In this city, bas had charge of the legal pre liminary. Exact Scope Not Kaown. It is yet too early to give the exact scope of the scheme, but ss now outlined there will be aa American holding company Into which all the stesmshlp companies which propose to enter the combine will put tbelr stock holdings pool tbetr Issues In exsctly the same way that the various concerns embraced In the Cnlted States Steel cor poration threw In their holdings, receiving In return stock of the main or parent com pany. Just what the capitalisation of the com pany will be la not aa yet known. Th amount ts likely to be well In exceaa of tlD0.0O0.00O. This phsss ot the project will depend entirely upon tbe number of stesm shlp companies taken in tbe combine. On of the most Interesting featuree of the plan deals with the subsidy question. Th Whit Star and Cunard lines receive liberal sub sidies from th British government. . These subsidies would be withheld or abrogated If ths ships of these lines cha, ged tbelr flag from British to Amerlcsn. Because of thla th ships of- ths Whit 8 tar. Cunard and the English subsidised companion will doubtless contlns nominally under British control. American Interest Dominate. George W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan Co. is authority for the statement tbat Amer ican Interest will dominate the proposed amalgamation and ssys th result will prove not only a great triumph for Mr. Morgan, tut will make ths t'nlted States the real rulers of the merchant marine of the world. Mr. Perklna also says that the plan will be of greatest benefit to Importers and ex porters as well ss to the great railroad In terests of this country. It effect will be felt by shippers from Maine to California, Mr. jerkins ssys, snd also will result In a better understanding between the commer cial Interests of this countr7 and Germany. "It is true," he added, "that Mr. Morgan will art as syndicate manager in thia com bination. Just aa hs brought together and welded the vsrious Interests in the United Ststes Steel corporation. Tbe financial de tails hav been completed to tbe extent that all th cash necesssry for tbe deal has been subscribed. It is too soon to speak about the directorate, but let It be born In mind that control of th company will be held here." It la taken as a matter of course that ths Interests now prominent in ths various steamship lines will be tsken into the con sol ids ted directory. Banking Interests identified with the proposed underm-ritlng Eyndlcgt aaid today tbat the new company would have a New Jeraey charter. They thought that no very great amount of caab contributlona would be required from the underwriting syndlcste. Ths Rothschilds, they added, were to be among th under writers. Goes Into the Combine. PHILADELPHIA. April 19. The an nouncement that the International Naviga tion company had catered the steamship combine, of which J. P. Morgan Is ths heed, was officially confirmed today at the office of President C. A. Grlscom by Howard Pusey, privst secretary to Mr. Grlscom. The terms of th agreement between tbs International Navigation company, tbs Whit Star, Dominion, Leyland, Atlantic Transport and Red Star lines, which are Included in the combination, could not be learned here, th atatament being mad that tbe Jetalla are In th hand of Mr. Morgan and their publication must come through blm. "All we ran say," declared Mr. Pusey, "ts that Mr. Morgan's proposition was sat Isfactory to us and we accepted It." Th new combination, Mr. Pusey said, will b operated under th direction of Mr. Morgan, and' each company in th combina tion will be represented on tbs board of directors. Ths details, hs ststed further, hsve not progressed to tbs point where th officers hers, other than Mr. Morgan, can be specified. A special act of congress, Mr. Pusey ex plained, would be necessary to permit a foreign-built vessel to sail under tbs Amer ican flag, but, he said, tbers U nothing to prevent an American company from owning a controlling Interest In a foreign company. In consequence, vessels affected by ths combination will aail under their reapertlve flags, hut will be controlled by A merles a capital. Mr. Pusey would not admit that ths nsw combination would practically obvlats com petition, bnt added that ths Germaa com panies would work harmoniously with tha Morgan consolldattoav rondltloa of the frtrssry, WASHINGTON.

Never hus coercion, been so grstultously spplied In Ireland as by Irish 6ecretsry Wyndbam's proclaiming nlns counties under tbe crimes act. Never has It csused such bitter resentment. Bring called upon In the House of Commons by John Redmond and the Irish to Justify his action, Mr. Wyndbam utterly failed to make out a case for extortional legislation. He was only able to give seven cases of real boy. rotting throughout Ireland, admitting that no crimes of violence or of a serious chsr acter had arisen from the sgrarian ques tion and could not deny that, taken all around, Ireland bas less crime than any other country in Europe at present, aad has had less for some time bsck. Object of Coercion. Tbe reel object of tbe coercion Is to crush the lesgue snd thus enable tbs land lords to get higher rates for ths purcbaa of their holdings thsn the United Irish league advises tbe tenants to pay.

Under this power nationalist tenants, whom there was no chance for convicting anywhere else, have been taken to Belfast to be tried by an orang Jury. . In abort, every nationalist In those nln counties Is deprived ot every constitutional right and Is placed absolutely In tbs powsr of any policeman who considers him In. fiuential among his fellows and chooses to trump up any kind of a ehargs to bring him before ths removable magistrates. Tbe government does not even make any pr. tense of doing anything for th admitted grievances of tenants, and tbs land pur. rhaae bill Introduced in the House of Com mons before Easter wa dropped simul taneously with tbe adoption of coercion.
