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.

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.

for his holiness and his supreme office.
"The pope replied: 'Yes, I hsve Just

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,

Among f'ompeaeat Companies Are

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

TO SETTLE THE JURISDICTION
Attorney General of Minaesnta Will
Oppose Transfer ot Mercer Snlt
to Fcdrrnl C'oarta.
ST. PAIL, Minn., April 19 The attor
ney general of Minnesota. W. B. Douglas,
will oppose the removal of tbe merger suit
from the Ramsey county district court Into
the United Ststes circuit court. He will
go Into the United Slates circuit court and
there move tbe court to remand the suit
to tbe county court from which it came.
General Douglas said today, after a consul
tation with Senator Wilson, associate coun
sel in the case:
"The transfer of the case will not em
barrass or hinder tbe action of the state.
It is Immaterial in which court the rase
Is tried, hut the motion to remand will st
once bring up the question of Jurisdiction
snd when that is settled we ran proceed
with the trial of the case on Its merits. In
sny event. It will reach the supreme court
without unnecessary delay."
The state expects President Hill of tbe
Northern Securities company to renew tn
the federsl court his motion to vacate the
service of summons on the Northern Se
curities company, and himself as presi
dent of that company on the same ground
that tbe motion was mads In the Rsmsey
county district court, thst the Northern
Securities company Is not doing business
as a corporation In Minnesota and has ap
pointed no agent In this ststs to receive
service. Th service es Mr. Hill, a presi
dent of th Northern Securities company,
will he objected to on the ground that be
ia not a resident of this state in that ca
pacity, but only as an Individual. Should
the service be vscated, then the state will
probably try to secure service by publics
tlon.

DUBLIN. April 19. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Ireland
will irWiirate the coronation of Edward
VII as it celebrated the first Jubilee ot
Queen Vlrtorls with Jails full ot political
prisoner convicted by what Is considered
there mockery of lsw. With unbridled
police rule to exasperste the people, the
Irish lrsders rsn no longer be responsible
for consequences.
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. Th
Issuing of th proclamation putting th
crime act la force was due to tbs Influ
ence of Lord Londonderry, now In th
cabinet, who Is the leader of the Irish
landlord party and to tbe inciting and th
groso exaggeration of circumstances by cer
tain London newspapers, whoa pictures ot
conditions In Ireland Secretary Wyndham
himself acknowledged were ridiculous
traveratles of the truth.
In order to coerce the tenants Into pay
ing more thsn the market prlc for their
holdings the British cabinet has suspended
trial by jury In nlns counties, which hav
1,600,000 Inhabitants, whose liberties ar
placed as tha merry of two pollc magi,
trstss who never wer known, Aa acquit "
anybody; who, without legal knowledge,
have jurisdiction In a vague charge of con
spiracy and who. If they fall to convict,
may be immediately transferred or dis
missed. Takca from Home for Trial.
Moreover, no one charged with any of
fense Indictable before a Jury can be tried
In bis own county, but at th request ot
tbe attorney general venue must be
changed to any other part of Ireland.
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.
