NEW SUBSIDY SCHEMES.
The ship subsidy schemers have
been at work for some time devising
schemes that would be free from
some of the objections to the Frye
Payne bill which was before the last
Congress. Senator Frye was in
Washington a few days ago and is
qnoted as saying that the bill which
he had prepared would, he thought,
prove acceptable to the majority in
Congress as it materially modified
the old bill, the objectionable feat
ures, or at least those about which
there was the most difference of
opinion, having been eliminated. In
the shape in which it . new is he
thinks the prospects of its passage
are good, but he declines to say
what its features are because he
does not wish to see it run the
gauntlet of hostile criticism before
Congress meets.
It might be inferred from this
that he thinks there are vulnerable
points in it which would not be
proof against criticism. If it were
a really strong and meritorious
measure as it came from his hands
criticism could not hurt it and the
sooner the public were made ac
quainted with it the better. There
must be something weak and faulty
in a proposition which shrinks from
debate until its friends get ready to
spring it on Congress and rush it
through with as little publicity and
debate as possible.
Senator Frye called on President
Koosevelt presumably to talk over
the question of ship subsidies, as
they naturally desire to commit the
President to this scheme. Other
friends of subsidies have called on
him for this same purpose, but they
have not committed him to any par-"
ticular scheme, and so far have only
succeeded in learning from him that
he is in favor of ship subsidies, but
this might hare been' expected after
his reiterated declarations that he
would carry out the policy of his
predecessor. Mr. McKinley had
committed himself and his adminis
tration to the ship subsidizing policy,
although he had not expressed any
preference as between the proposi
tions made. As far as known Mr.
Roosevelt stands in that attitude.
He will hear their discussions and
then favor the scheme that comes
nearest to meeting his views of
what a subsidy bill should be.
It was reported during the last
session of the last Congress that
Speaker Henderson was opposed to
the ship subsidy idea, and that he
would block the Frye-Payne bill if
it came from the Senate to the
House, which was assigned as a rea
son why its friends did not make a
harder effort to put it through the
Senate. They regarded that as la
bor lost, while the Speaker of the
House was hostile to it and would
use his influence and power to
strangle it when it came into the
House.
Whether this is true or not we do
not know, but it is probable that he
was averse to the passage of the
Frye-Payne bill, which was too
much of a grab for favored indi
viduals. They have apparently been
bringing influence to bear on him,
too, to win his friendship for subsi
dies. We jnf er this much from the
following extract from an interview
on the subsidy business:
presumably would carry the mails, ;
and the other to cargo vessels; This j
would at least simplify the question
and leave Representatives and Sena
tors free to support or oppose either
or both.
The fact that they are doing so
much talking on . this question now
and all expressing a willingness to
support subsidies on certain condi
tions is an indication that they have
been trying to get together, to har
monize differences, remove objections
and unite on some measure that
would command the support of the
majority in Congress.
The Republican party is a subsi
dy party, and is practically commit
ted to some scheme for the rehabili
tation of our merchant marine, re
gardless of whether subsidies are
necessary or not. There is influence
and money behind these schemes
and the probabilities are that some
of them will go through, and yet we
are building ships withont subsidies
and buying ships which would be
sailed under the American flag if
our antiquated navigation laws per
mitted it. Wejcould have a merchant
marine that would not cost the
Treasury a dollar if these laws were
repealed, but this is not what the
schemers who want to pull millions
out of the Treasury are working for.
It is the millions they are after
more than a merchant marine.
SCHLEY VINDICATED.
- Admiral Schley could close his
case now and stand fully vindicated
in his discharge of the duties en
trusted to him. The whole scope of
the questions by the prosecution,
(for that is really what it is) by Judge
Advocate Lemly, who could not if
he tried conceal his bias at any
stage of these proceedings, was to
show Schley up as a violator of
orders, a bungling incompetent and
a coward, but he failed in this even
on the testimony of his own wit
nesses, which was conspicuous for
the way in which they conflicted
with each other, and for the many
things they couldn't remember.
The only thing in which they sub
stantially agreed was in the opinion
that any one of them could have
managed that whole business better
than Schley did.
But Schley's witnesses are telling
their story now, the men who were
on the ship with him, men who
knew all its movements before and
in the fight which destroyed Cer
vera's fleet, and the story they tell
is a straight forward one, which
would vindicate Schley if there were
no other evidence. Bat there is
other testimony, although that will
not be introduced as evidence.
The prosecution has harped much
on the celebrated "loop" made by
the Brooklyn and tried to discredit
the story that there was any effort
made by the Spaniards to ram the
Brooklyn, which was the reason
why the Brooklyn made the "loop."
On this point Captain Eulate, of
the Viscaya, who ought to know
something about it, in writing of
the battle, Bays:
Tue Brooklyn was a half mile
closer to me than any other ship, and
I determined to try to ram it, so that
the Colon and Oqueudo could get
away, and I started for it It made a
good mark, with its Die broadside.
thought surely I
evidently
all because of a lack of shipping facil
ities." We can mine coal cheaper than it
can be mined in England and can
sell it cheaper in South America
than English mines can, and could
build up a big trade if we had the
shipping facilities. Assuming all
this to be true it suggests the in-,
quiry, why does not the coal com
bine build ships to carry its coal to
foreign markets if there is so much
money in the business? The an
thracite coal mines in this country
are controlled by one combine, with
an immense capital, and surely if
there be much in the foreign coal
trade it can afford to build ships to
supply the markets it seeks and thus
have the facilities it needs and be
independent of foreign ships.
That's what J. Pierpont Morgan's
steel combine proposes to do to de
liver its manufactures in foreign
markets, and that's the business
like way to do it and much more
creditable than clamoring for govern
ment aid when they are able to build
ships temselves. Why not expect
the Government to subsidize the
railroads that carry their coal from
the mines to the seaboard?

of this country is being rapidly used
up in the manufacture of paper
pulp. But according to statisticans,
Canada has enough to make 1,500,

that time we need not bother our
heads much about the pulp supply,
and by that time the tariff on Can

"I have never discussed specifically
the question of building up the mer
chant marine and the great shipping
interests of the United States, but this
question can no longer be neglected
by those looking to the beat interests
of our country. It is a new problem
ua to givo nnanciai am to the ship
interests, and I confess that I am not
satisfied with anj legislation thus far
proposed by Congress, but if a wise
pian can oe devised looking to the in
terests of our commerce and the coun
try and not purely individual interests
then it should command careful, pa
triotic and fearless attention."
The conclusion from this is that
he is favorable to subsidies if a
scheme is presented which will en
courage our merchant marine and
the country more than it will ben
efit the gentlemen who push the
scheme. Occupying the conspicu
ous and responsible position which
he does, and representing a party in
which there is considerable diver
gence of yiews on the subsidy prop
osition, he didn't care to say more
and couldn't well say less. Judging
from' this utterance he occupies at
present a non-committal position,
which will when called upon to take
action leave him free to act upon
his judgment withont conflicting
with himself.
One of the objections made to
the Frye-Payne, sometimes called
the Hanna, bill was that it. was too
partial to the fast steamers, which
would receive the larger part of the
proposed subsidies, practically
ignoring the cargo vessels,
which would really constitute
the merchant marine in which
they profess to be bo much inter
ested. It seems that some of the
subsidy advocates are trying to ob
viate this objection and at the same
time placate both the steamship
men and the friends of the cargo
ships. Speaking for these Repre
sentative Minor; of Wisconsin, a
member of the House Committee
on Merchant Marine, says he favors
two separate measures, one. to apply
to swift passenger steamers, which
had
seen us and auicklv it turned ahnnt
and making a short circle came at our
port side, so that I thought it would
ram us. I moved in toward the
shore so that I could avoid it, and
then I saw the Oquendo had gone
asnore aiso, its steam pipes evidently
having been severed by a shell. The
manoever of the Brookly was beauti
ful. We opened a rapid fire at it with
all our bi guns, but it returned it
with terrible effect The Oregon also hit
us several times, but the Brooklyn's
broadside, crashing into our super
structure, simply terrorized the men.
We worked all our guns at it at one
time, and I dont see how it escaped
us. It simply drove us in to shore, at
one time fighting us at 1,100 yards.
The Brooklyn had prevented me from
f etung away, for I could have beaten
the Oregon out as I had a two-mile
3Z J ?T orders were to try to
sink the Brooklyn, and I tribd to carry
them out I did not think that its bat
tery could be so terrible as it was."
This ought to settle any doubts
as to tne intention to ram the
Brooklyn and shut off the harping
on that "loop."
WHY IfOT BUILD OUK OWN
SHIPS?
The Philadelphia Press fs a zeal
ous advocate of ship subsidies, and
is doing tireless service in that
course A recent issue contains the
following, which is intended to boost
the subsidy business:
The United States consular and dip
lomatic agents in South America and
in Europe continue to inform the
State Department that enormous quan
tities of American coal can be sold in
those, countries providing proper
ruapurMuoa jacuuies are furnished.
Great Britain exports millions of tons
of coal, although if it were not for the
higher freight rates the United States
could undersell her in the South
American markets as well as in some
parts of Eurppe. British coat mining
mure expensive now uan formerly,
because the coal has to be taken from
great depths. Bach is not the case in the
United States, and the price of Ameri
can coal is cheaper now in Brazil than
Cardiff coal, but we sell very -little
there for lack of shipping facilities.
"The United States has undertaken
to do business in South: America by
hipping goods to Europe and then on
European steamship lines to South
America. It is nonsense to suppose
that we can compete with European
nations under such conditions. - tJntil

American boat than there is why
the New York Yacht Club should

After a legal contest extc
mg over fifteen years the Depa
ment of Justice has acquiesced in
the Federal Supreme Court decis
ion in the "hat trimming" cases,
and the excess of duty collected on
the goods in dispute will be eventu

paid it. It was quite clear to the
framers of the Wilson tariff act
that "hat trimmings" did not mean
Bilk ribbon and other fabrics of silk;
but the courts have decided other

from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000
must be borne by the Federal treas
