when the panic win be over.

The Vienna Ne,te Freie P,esse has an article,
presumably from the pen Of the distinguished
political economist Max Wirth, on the prob
able duration Of the present crisis. George dc
Laveleye, of Belgium, has published a pamphlet
to which we have already called attention,
in which the position Is taken that the present
crisis marks permanent transformation in
the economic and industrial condition of the
world. We are not to expect the reaction
that has followed previous panics. Europe
and the United States have finished their
most important railway lines, and
the chief tunnels, and other enter
prises, such as the Suez Canal, have
been completed. What remains to be done Is
unimportant compared with what has been
done. Development Of the trade Of China
and Japan. cutting. the Isthmus of .Darien,
connecting India with Europe by rail- open
ing up Africa and building Australian rail-
ways seem to de Laveleye mere drops in the
thirsty bucket Of capital. Poor countries are
no longer to be able to borrow OF their neigh
bors, who have been SO badly cheated In for
eign loans, and rich countries through an ex-
cess of unemployed capital, are to be led into
wasteful and disastrous home speeulations.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-It is beginning to be-
understood that John Roach, the ship-builder,
Is tAc chief motive power In getting up the
subject Of direct commerce with South Amer
lea. The bill reported by the House Commit
toe IN Postot1ces and Post Roads, for a mail
service with Brazil from New York and New
Orleans, means John Roach or it means moth
ing. One stipulation Of the bill Is that the
vesskl which carries the mail shall be Amer-
can quilt, and Of Il tonnage of not less than 5000
tons John Roach Is the only American ship
builtsar who builds such vessels He has al
ready subsidy of 100000 from Brazil for a
New York service
Some OF those present at the convention,
begun here to-day. to advance the export
trade say that enough was developed on the
first day to show that It is being controlled in
the interest of a subsidy. The agitation OF a
direct mail service with the South American
States began in the Mississippi and Ohio VAL
leys, with the idea that New Orleans was to
be the point from which the communication
would be carried on in this country. It now
begins to look, however as ii strong lobby
is to be organized for the purpose of giving
an Eastern company a subsidy.
