A MINORITY REPORT.
Shall American Steamships Garry the
Foreign Mails7

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Mr. Burrows of
Michigan on behalf of the minority of the
House committee on post roads and offices,
will tomorrow submit report dissenting
from the views of the majority in reporting
fayorably the bill to compel American
steamship to carry U. S. mails. The report
states that under the Dingley bill American
vessels were to be consulted like their foreign
rivals as to the performance and compensa-
ton to be paid therefor, and not be forced to
carry the mails ON such terms as the post
master general sees fit to impose. The post
master general had wholly neglected and
refused not only to contract with any Amer
lean steamships for carrying foreign mails,
as he was authorized to do by the act of
March 3, 1885, but had declined to use the
appropriation therein made for the purpose
named AS a result of this action and in
consequence of the inadequate compensation
steamship companies have declined to carry
the mails. 1t was now proposed that in
stead of assisting the postmaster general
by some appropriate legislation to execute
the law of March 3, 1885, to punish Amerl-
can steamships for their refusal to carry the
of the Revised Statues the Postmaster
General was restricted in the matter
of compensation to be allowed American
steamships to the sea and inland postage on
buS HILLS So cdIIl6u. Ii tu6 Ulll VI tll6
majority were to become law
American steamships would be denied
clearance and the right to carry the Ameri-
can flag unless they consented to carry the
mails for sum not exceeding the sea and in
land postage, whatever might be the dis
tance and expense. The sea and inland
postage was the same whether the mails
were carried 800 or 5000 miles, and the post
master general might allow the same com
pensation for the carrying of the mails from
Key West to Havana, as from San francisco
to China. The minority could not believe
Congress ought to confer on the postmaster
general such arbitrary power, or strike so
deadly blow at our feeble and struggling
marine. 1t was not necessary to subsidize
the lines but only allow them such compen-
sation as was just and reasonable. The bill
of the majority did not do this but empow-
cred the postmaster general to force Ameri-
can vessels to carry the mails at loss or
surrender the advantage OF sailing under the
American flag. The country was not pre-
pared nor could it afford to place the destiny
of its merchant marine in the keeping of any
man.
Mr.. Burrows will offer substitute for the
bill authorizing the postmaster general to
contract with American lines for carrying
the mails at a rate not exceeding 80 cents per
nautical mile for term of five years, and
authorizing the President to enter into trea-
ties with such countries as wish to unite
with the United States in promoting mail
facilities between the two countries.

One Way of Getting Cheap tobacco.

Not long sago an American vessel, which
came into port at Wilmington, N. c., was
found to have on board several caddies of to-
bacco manufactured in the United States on
which no tax had been paid. Or inquiry it
was found the tobacco had been manufac-
tured in Boston and bonded for export free
of tax, according to law. 1t was shipped to
this city, where it was laden on board the
vessel for expectation to a foreign port, The
captain, however, concluded to keep it for
the use of himself and his crew, and he re-
ports that it is the custom for American YES
sells to put tobacco in this way for use on
board. This mode of getting tobacco free
of tax, is facilitated by the act of Congress
of June 8, 1880, which relieved the exporter
of tobacco under bond from the burden of
proving that he had landed the same in a for
eign port.
