THE MERCHANT MARINE.
Speeches by Maine Men Before the
shipping League.
Aid from Congress Demanded for
American Vessel Owners.
Bath Represented by Or Fuller, MR..
SewaII and Capt. Coss.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-The League re-
sumed its sessions this morning. Five-min-
ute addresses were delivered by number of
delegates. Capt. Samuel Watts, of Boston.
spoke of the condition of American shipping
and said that ships could be built in this
country with advantage but their owners
could not compete with the subsidized for
eign lines He believed tie only way Amer
lean shipping could be rescued was through
aid from Congress.
DR.. Fuller, president of the Bath. Me-.
Board of Trade, said he believed the people
of the country were in favor of the re-estab-
lisbment of the merchant marine. He spoke
of the competition of the great transconti-
mental railroad lines with the Pacific trade
and said the League was neither in favor of
monopoly nor came before Congress as beg
gars. 1t demanded It's rights only. The
tonnage paid by shippers to the government
during the last 20 years amounted to $780,
100000. Now they wanted the government
to do something for them. The speaker
referred to the determinations against
American shippers by the English under
writers, and characterized it as shameful.
He called attention 10 the fact that the num-
ber of foreign merchants during in New
York is largely ON the increase. The speaker
expressed the opinion that If Congress did
not come 10 tne relle1 Oh tne mercnant ma
rine and pay out portion of the peoples
money. now boarded in the Treasury, the
curse which fell upon Sodom and Gomorrah
would come upon the nation.
Ex-Governor Perham, of Maine, spoke Of
the Importance to the government, in time OF
peace, and especially in time of war, of
maintaining and assisting the merchantmen.
Captain Goss, of Bath, Me-, said that in
his opinion the passage of the free ship bill
would kill the shipbuilding industry.
Arthur Sewall. of Bath, Me-, said there
were % industries employed and many
more indirectly, in shipbuilding. When we
ask for a bounty or small subsidy, the cry
is .You are taxing the poor man to help the
rich." The speaker said that railroads had
been subsidized and encouraged until few
were paying any dividends. yet not dollar
has been given up He believed in Ameri-
can ships, American seamen and American
labor
1t was announced that the President would
receive the League tomorrow afternoon at
l30 o'clock.
Mr.. Arthur Sewall was interviewed by a
reporter. BE is not so sanguine as others,
for he thinks Speaker Carlisle has arranged
the House committee on merchant marine
and fisheries so that it is unfayorable to the
conventions plan.

Value of Eggs as Food.

Eggs are a meal in themselves. Every ell
ement necessary to the support OF man is
contained within the limits of an legg she'll
in the best proportions and in the most pala-
table form. Plain boiled, they ara wholesome.
The masters of French cookery, however, af-
firm that it is easy to dress them in more
than five hundred different ways, each meth
cd not economical, but salutary in the high

an egg in some guise. 1t is nutriment in the
most portable form and in the most eoncen-
trated shape Whole nations Of mankind
rarely touch any other animal food. Kings
eat them plain as readily as do the humble
tradesman. After the victory of Muhldorf,
when the Kaiser Ludwig sat at meal with
his burggrafs and great captains, he determ-
ined on piece of luxury-'one egg to every
man and two to the excellently valiant Sch
wepperman." Far more than fish-for it is a
watery diet-eggs are the scholar fare. They
contain phosphorus. which is brain food, and
snlphur. which performs variety of func-
tions in the economy. And they are the best
of nutriment for children, for, in compact
form, they contain everything that is neces-
sary for the growth of the youthful frame.
Eggs are, however. .o not only y iood-they are

as an almost miraculous salve Tor cuts, bruis-

PORTLAND SCHOOLS.
Some of Rev. Mr.. BayIey's Assertions
Examined.
The Results Of Mayor Chapman's
Personal Investigation.
Two Pupils Out Of 5000 Who Use
Liquor.

Learning that Mayor Chapman had been
paying visit to the different schools OF the
city, a reporter Of the PRESS called upon
him yesterday and asked him regarding their
condition. Mayor Chapman said;
Before answering your question l wish tn
say that did not see the Advertisers report
Of the interview with me until it was pub
lished. Although in the main / am most
accurately reported, my desire to do Mr..
Bailey the fullest justice leads me to correct
any impression conveyed that he misrepre-
sented the purpose Of Mr. Trefethen's visit
to my office ON Commercial street. From
Mr.. Trefethen's introduction into the con-
versation, Mr.. Bayley drew his conclusion,
which was fair and natural But the real
object Of his call was disclosed after the
minister's departure.
Now concerning the schools. Having read
Mr.. Bayley's sermon In which he says
"But the nefarious business Of the rumseller
is reaching out into our public schools" l
felt it my duty to investigate the facts, as
this statement, If true, might well alarm
our people. II not corroborated by facts it
deserved refutation in justice to our schools.
sequently have spent the entire day person
ally visiting every school in the city and as
certaining by careful inquiry all the facts.
The results give you in briefest detail In
the words Of the principals:
Monument Street-'Never any signs Of
liquor about any Of our scholars"
North School-Principal Files said: "Have
never noticed Of late any scholar intoxicated
or suspected any scholar Of using liquor
But as my school has twenty-four rooms, If
you will return in half an hour l will give
you the results of inquiry among the teach
ers." Upon my return he said; Il am
happy to report there has not been case
of intoxication in the school the past year,
nor a scholar suspected of using liquor |
could not have so reported a teic years ago."
Shailer School-"Entire absence Of any
appearance of liquor among the children"
Chestnut Street-Similar report as Shailer
school.
high School-"Have no knowledge Of any
High School scholar using liquor the past
year."
picion Of any use of liquor by any scholar
here"
Carroll Street-School absolutely free from
appearance Of drinking
Butler School-''No drinking whatever
among the scholars"
Bracket Street School-"Have not the
least knowledge of any scholar using intoxi-
cants."
Vaughan Street-"Think no scholar in the
school ever tasted liquor"
West School-No suspicion of any scholar
for many months.
Park Street-"Nothing Of the kind here"
Spring Street-"Suspicion Of one scholar,
and only one"
Casco Street-"None of our scholars use
liquor"
Centre Street-"Two boys intoxicated
during the last year. Three suspected Of
drinking"
This in tabular form is the result of my
examination:
