morrow for New York, 10 investigate the
immigration question. The committee
will probably remain in New York for
several weeks and make as thorough an
investigation Of the matter as possible.
The board Of immigration and agents Of
the various steamship and railroad com
panies will probably be first examined
and then the investigation will be eN-

WASHINGTON. April .. - Farquhar, Of
New York. to-day submitted report
containing the views Of the majority of
the house committee ON merchant marine
and fisheries. to company the bill intro
duced i'm the house by himself and re-
ported fayorrby to the house from that
committee. to place the American mer

tions. The report refers to deterioration
of American shipping interest and con-
tends that a merchant marine is ncces-
sary 10 the existence of naval power,
and the situation now. il is stated. Is very
much the same as when the union Of the
states was formed. Great Britain
engrossed our richest commerce. but our
preScient statesmen applied the cure for
all evils. of alien merchants and foreign
debts, and the dangers OF dependence for
transportation, on the shipping Of fight
ing nations seeking control Of the com
merce Of the world. The adverse balance
Of trade. induced by foreign marine.
crushed the country. With sufficient
shipping Of our own we would have a
credit instead of debt abroad. We
would have controlled our trade instead
of having foreign nations control it for

reports Of the committees and acts Of

years past, with the subsidized steam /

morily adopted and has always been sus-
tained as the very best means Of grasping
