Commissioner Bates Report on Marine In

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Commissioner of
Navigation Bates, In his annual report,
dwells on marine insurance and says we
are fast drifting.into dependency on foreign
underwriting. The manifest decsdsnce Of
our underwriting power is a national con-
Germ. 1t is as necessary to have marine
underwriting Of our own as commerce of
our own, or shipping Of our own. Marine
insurance is facility and power for the
command Of trade, needful in peace, but
essential in war. The underwriting of our
enemy is not to be thought of; that of q
rival should never be depended on. The
commissioner recommends the abrogatiou
of the treaty with Great Britain which
prevents the building of armed vessels on
the lakes, and the repeal of the act of 1852,
authorizing the naturalization Of foreign
Vessels
