Effect Of the New Subsidy Bill on American
Ship-puiIdaro

Ship-Builders.
New YORK, Aug. 26.-Francis Scott, a
Californian, and Charles II. and Frank L.
Cramp, ship-buiders, returned to-day on
the City of New York from Europe, where
they have been inspecting. C. II. Cramp
says: 81 DO not think the new subsidy bill |
will help American ship builders to any
great extent. 1t is too narrow in its scope.
The bill as originally drawn might have
given an impetus to American builders, but
the bill, as passed does not mean much to
them. The shD-builders in England do not
seem to think the new subsidy bill worth
their troubling about
In discussing the limitations of speed In
ocean liners Cramp said that builders were
rather premature in talking about ships
which will cross the Atlantic from harbor

we can look for over twenty knots an hour
for the next ten years." he said. 1.-THE av-
erage speed now is hardly nineteen. l do
not think that the ocean express service. If
it ever comes, will mean larger boats 1t is
simply question OF crowding all but first

Possibly an Attempt to Get Even for

When the State Board of Equalization
sent out blanks few months ago, asking
each Assessor in the State to tabulate the

was given space. There was room and to
spare for the lemon, orange. fig, pear, olive,

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-The question
of admitting colOred members into the

pied most of to-day's session. All the bal
lots resulted the same-59 for and 81 against
the proposition. Most of the opposition to

ONO delegates, who voted as unit against
1t. The sentiment of the convention was
strongly in favor Of the admission of COL
ored members, the Pennsylvania delegation
being unanimous in the coiored mans favor,
but an arbitrary clause in the constitution
requiring a four-hfths vote to change the
constitution enabled the opponents to de-

the measure changed their votes so as to
move reconsideration. and the question will
be called up again, probably. George p

THE BUSIEST PLACE IN TOWN.
The Result of Liberal and Judicious Ad-

The Result of Liberal and Judicious Ad-
vertising.
The CALL can justly claim credit as be-
ing an important factor in the unparalleled
success that is meeting j. j. O'Brien s. Co.'s
great sale of the bankrupt dry-goods stock
OF Sullivan, Burtis s. Dewey, success sors
to Keane Bros, for, as the result of the
liberal advertising the sale has received iu
the daily press and particularly in mammoth
bargain announcements that have appeared
almost daily in this paper, tie firms i'm
mense Salesr0oms have been literally
crowded to the doors with customers from
the moment of their opening until they
closed at night every day since the sale
commenced.
That the rush continues unabated Is due
to the fact that the enormous magnitude of
the stock made it impossible to mark down
and assort it all in time for the beginning of
the sale, and the firm therefore adopted the
system OF devoting each day to particular
lines Of goods. thus keeping up the excite
ment by presenting new bargains daily.
As the balance of the week will be es-
peclally devoted to black and colored dress
goods, silks, clOaks, linens and house
furnishing goods generally. s)ms rare bar
gains may be expected in these lines.
