five Thousand Cars More.

PHILADELPHIA, July 29.--Fhe Pennsyl-
vania kailroad Company ia receiving
bids for an addition OF 8 00l cars to its
rolling stock. 1t IS expected that the
contract will De awarded as soon as all
OF the firms requested to make o bid
have been heard from. This improve
men, to the rolling stock will involve an
expenditure OF SO 0O0,U00. The cars will
belong entirely to the freight equiem mt.
A portion of them will begondoas or coal
oars and the rest will be the ordinary box
freight cars of the Pennsylvania stand.
ard. 1t has not been positively decided
yet what distribution will be Iuade of
them, but it is thought that 1900 OF
them will be used ON the lines west OF
Pittsburg and the remainder on the lines
east of that point, The money to pay
for them will be raised by an issue of q
new chr trust lean for SO COO, 900. An
official OF the company said to-day that
! none Of the money raised by the recent
allotment OF stock to be expended upor
improvements would he encsoRched
upon. The additional rolling stook hal
been made necessary by the rapid in
crease in the company's traffic. Til,
shops at Altoona are very busy with al
the work they can turn out. This mad,
it necessary to place the contract will
outside firms.

THE MAHsa rsx EXEMPTION.

An Apparent Mistake in tho Bili
That Makes u Very Material Dit
ference.
The act passed by the last Legislature
exemptiDg from city taxation MI marsh
lands within the city limits, is still bone
of contention, and is Likely to result in
much controversy and possible litigation.
When certified copy of the act was
presented TO tho tax collectors, it was
noticed that while the exemption applied
to ''unimproyed" marsh land the word
written in the bill was improved" The
letters "un" vera added by Interpolation
in the line above with q oRret marked be-
meath.
City Solicitor Turner, after the law
was called TO his attention, sent TO Dover
and procured two certified copies OF the
bill. Both OF these copies provide for
an exemption from taxation Of all Sim.
proved" marsh land within the city
limits. MIR. Turner saw the original bill.
II ALDO exempted 'imprcved" marsh land,
but on the margin was pasted an amend
ment inserting ''un" before the word i'm.
proved. The endorsements OF the bill,
however, showed that it had passed without
any amendment whatever. The enrolled
copy also read improved marsh land"
and from the enrolled bill the secretary
OF state prepared his certified copies.
The real effect of the bill, therefore, is
to exempt from city taxation for 10 years
all "improved marsh land" within the
city limits. This would release the plant
OF the Harlan a. Hollingsworth Company,
the Pussy 4 Jones Company. the Jackson
& Sharp Company, the Lobdell Oar Wheel
Company, and all other manufacturing
concerns whose plants are crested on the
suburban marsh ground. In view Of this
fact, City Solicitor Turner holds TO the
view that the act is unconstitutional, and
has instructed the tax collectors to collect
the taxes from all marsh property, ss
usual If the owners resist payment the
question will be carried to the courts for
| settlement,

The interior finishing and decoration
of the cabins on either side of the boat
constitute perhaps its most striking fea-
tura. The sides are lined with highly
polished sycamore and cherry and the
ceilings are artistioslly paneled and fres-
coed. The cabin windows are unusually
large, each being formed OF single sheet
of heavy French plate. Above the win.
dows extend line Of transom lights,
filed with amber cathedral glass.
The seats are OF comfortable form,
divided by brentwood arm rests, and the
electroliers and metals fittings OF the
cabins are OF wrought brass in simple Blu,
tasteful designs. The boat has steam
heating apparatus and is lighted through

descent system being used. Its carrying
capacity is 500 passengers and there i,
space for eighteen vehicles.
Altogether It Ia believed to be the
finest ferry boat ON the Delaware, ant

in point OF speed have not yet been de-
veloped. but Superintendent FELTON, ex
pressss the conviction that in&his respect
it will at least closely crowd the Allan
tic CITY, another OF the Readings feet
which is now the fastest ferry boat or
the river.
The addition of the City of ResdipI
increases the number OF boats in THU
service to six, and will enable the PhiIa

SUBSIDIZED SHIPS.

Philadelphia Record.
The advocates OF steamship bounty are
holding up the examples Of Germany and
France for the admiration OF the people
OF this country. Statistics are being
psraded to show how much the merchant
marine OF these countries has prospered
since they adopted the bounty system.
but this hounty-mougers should not take
part only of the commercial policy of
Germany and France and leave the rest
II the policy OF either be worthy OF imi-
tation, 1t should be adopted as whole.
Both these countries permit their
merchants to buy steamships in the best
markets. But cur bounty monoers pro-
pose to create a vast subsidized ocean
monopoly, aud at the same time to main
tain the navigation laws In all their rigor.
The American people are being asked
not merely TO make costly presents of
steamships to few favorites but to pay
the highest prices for them.
There Is another important respect in
which tho commercial policy of Germany
and France deserves imitation II their
steamship subsidy system is to be adopted
in this country. Both these countries
admit the raw material OF manufacturing
industries free of duty. Under this
policy OF free ray materials OF produo-
ton they are enabled to compete with
free trade England in some lines Of
manufactured exports. To this, aud not
to the steamship bounty system, do they
owe their prosperous trade with the
Argentine Republic and other portions Of
| South America. II they should tie SC
| foolish as to tax their wool, hemp, jute,
iron ore and other raw materials of man
Utautures their subsidized ships would
carry no cnrgoes to Rio Janeiro aud
Busnos Ayres in composition with Eng
lands commerce. They secured the
trade first, and adopted the bounty sys
tenn atterward. Germsny's steamship
subsidy system, like that of Eng
land, consists merely in payments for
carrying the mails to steamship line,
which commerce mad already called into
existence.
But our bounty -mongerB would becker
foreign commerce with steamship honntiel
with one hand, and repel it with thl
other hand In maintaining oppressive
taxes upon the raw materials Of industry
The subsidized steamship lines would
traverse tie ocean without outward car
goes unless the treasury should also pay
bounties upon exports OF Manufactured
as well as upon snips, since it would b,
impossible to compete successfully will
the nations that do not tax the materialI
OF production.
This pol oy OF steamship bounty,
coupled with system which obstruct
| and ranala cOrn nlaPrial intaroOursh wit
other nations, would be as foolish as /
would be proaigste, While 1t woul
breed vast monopoly of the ocean CORY
ing trade, it would confer no oommtrcia
benefits on the country. 1t is eyiden
that the chief object of the bounty
monRers is to get their hands into tn
treasury surplus, and that the promotion
OF the counlry's commerce is with them
secondary confederation, il, indeed, the
consider it at all.
