American Merchant Marine.

The new steamship Pacific, built in
Glasgow for the Pacific Mail Company, is
described as a magnificent vessel. But
though built by American money for
trade with China, the ship is not per
mitted to carry the American flag She
must sail under false colors Haunting a
lie at her masthead. Because the ship
was built abroad she cannot stop to trade
at two American ports, for that would be
in violation of the Navigation laws. Great
Britain, where this ship was built
with American capital, had once similar
Navigation laws. In fact, the Naviga-
tiOn laws of the United States are a sur
vival of the repudiated policy of Eng
land. When the English people repealed
this antiquated and barbarous system the
protectionists predicted that the result
would be the total destruction of the
British mercantile marine. But the re-
suit showed how egregiously the enemies
of commercial freedom were mistaken
English commerce took new and
marvellous fight when the shackles upon
it were removed. The protectionist
pleas on this side of the water against
the repeal of the navigation laws are
only echoes of defeated prophecies of the
English Tories a generation ago. There
is this essential difference in the two
situations-while the commerce of Eng
land did not decline, but advanced, with
the repeal of her navigation laws, the
mercantile marine of the United States
under the present system of navigation
laws has almost vanished from the
ocean Philadelphia Record

NEW York, May 25.-Over one hundred
East side Hungarians and Poles, who had de-
posted their hard earned savings for years
with Banker Max Goldberger, who, it is
alleged, disappeared from his office at No 1853
Ridge street two weeks ago with 100000 Of
their savings, are in an excited frame Of
mind
They are the poorest and most ignorant
class of Hebrews, and their distress was pitt
full to witness. The door OF Goldberger's
office was bolted from the inside, and no ad-
mittance could be gained.
A notice posted on the window informed
the depositors to call at his branch office at
No. 10S Greenwich street, but they received
cold comfort at the latter place. The clerks
there said that nothing could be done until
Goldberger would return, but when he would
do so they could not tell
Goldberger was a cloakmaker when he ar
rived in this country twelve years ago from
Hungary, but he saw that there was money
in the brokerage business, in which his
brother-in-iaw was engaged, and opened a
similar establishment Goldhergeris wife and
children live in elegant apartments at No 33i
East Seventy seventh street 1t is believed
that Goldberger has fed to Canada or Hun
gary. A man stood at the door sobbing and
wringing his hands Goldberger had $500 d
his money. Goldberger is well known to the

DR.. Cronin's taking or is increasing and the
city is being secured by the police, who are
trying TO catch his assassins Theories OF all
sorts are advanced, but there Is no diversity
OF opinion about DR.. Cronin's death. Every
pody knows that he was assassinated but
who committed the crime no one knows
IL has been discovered that cottage near
the residence Of Patrick O'SuIlivan, the ice
man, wasrented two months ago by unknown
parties, who paid one months rent in ad-
vance, but never, so far as known, took
possession Of the premises.
The owners Of the cottage, Mr. and Mrs.
Carlson, refused to talk about it, saying
they would tell their story to the police A
young woman living at Mr.. Sullivans said
That three weeks ago she saw light In the
mouse, but no one has been seen there since
1t rs said that the parties who rented the
place were two young men, evidently Irish
men. It is said that the cottage was hired
by the 'assassins Of DIR. Cronin and he was
decoyed to it.
The posi- ility that tine Enghsh govern
ment, through its secret agents, may have
had something 70 do with the Cronin mys-
terry is not being lost sight OF.
While the basin in which Or. Cronin was
discovered was being dragged by two report
ers among other things found was the end Of
a finger with the nail and long piece Of
white skin attached. The nail has the ap-
pearance Of having come from the hand of a
woman At first it was the belief that il
had come from one Of the doctors hands A
visit was made to the undertaking shop where
the body Of Dr. Cronin lies They were sure
that it could not be the DOCTORS finger. Can
it be possible that another life was taken al
the time DR.. Cronin was asSassinatedG Is II
possible that the story told by Woodruff re
garding the mutilated body OF woman can

between the hours Of and 6.
The exponents of classical comedy were
promptly on hand az the appointed time, and
from the smiling faces and general mir Of
content with which they emerged from Rice's
office IL was easy 10 see that the ghost had
walked
The notice which Mr. Rice Ind posted
served 70 attract two other visitors. whose
presence was not entirely agreeable. About
1880 in the afternoon Messrs McGonigle and
Young, deputy sheritfs, dropped in AMI ar
rested Mr.. Rice for contempt Of court Mr..
Rice, 1t appears, failed 70 answer certain
questions that came up during supplementary
proceedings issued against that gentleman

with Rice in 1881 in a summer music garden
ia St. Louis Jennings was saddled with q
huge debt, which he sought 60 have borne by
