The • objects of the scheme are twofold, arstly to meet the Morgan combina- tion on American ground, and sec- ondly, to arrange a new and „fast service to Canada, which, will be largely subsidized by both the Brit- ish and Canadiaa Governments, but nothing will be done regarding the subsidy question until the meeting of the colonial Premiers on the oc- casion of the coronation, The lead- ers of the new scheme say they re- cognize that tbe fight for freight will be severe. The British combina- tion will not be hampered so much by ete. Morgan's control of the Am- erican railways as by the fact that the principal freight stetuners are in tile hands of its opponents. It ls denied that Mr. Morgan offered the Cuntuds £l1,000,000 for the com- pany. The offers did not approach that figure. A Hamburg correspondent tele- graphs that shipping men there be- lieve that the Culler(' Company will come to a working arrangement with the Union and Ce.stle Lines in 'order to secure a monopoly of the African trade, and that the result will be the establisineent of new lines from the United States to Africa, Single eye -peeve& are prohibited in the Germany army.
