WASHINGTON CITY, Dec l0-The commits
sioner OF navigation, in his annual report,
dwells on marine insurance, and SAYS we are
fast drifting into dependency on foreign under
writing. The manifest deeadenee of our under
writing power is of national concern II is as
necessary to have marine underwriting OF our
own as commerce of our own or shipping of our
own. Marine insurance gives facility and
power for command CT trade, needful in peace,
but essential in war. The underwriting of our
enemy is not to be thought OF; that OF rival
never should be depended on. The commits
sioner recommends abrogation 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.

VICTORIA, Dec I0.-[SpeciaL Captain Gustav
Hansen, better known as ''the Flying Dutch
man," who has distinguished himself sew

Bering sea while flying the German flag over
his old schooner Adele, returned to port this
morning with his new command, the Boreslis.
He cleared from here on September 26 last for

islands, on the coast of Japan. The schooner
struck severe. gales and a terrible cold of the
coast of Siberia, and narrowly escaped finding

WAsHIHeToN CRY, Dec. 10.-Springer,
who is likely to be chairman of the ways
and means committee, if Mills is offered
and declines the honor, said today that his
policy with reference to the tariff was
free lumber, free cotton ties, free coal and
free binding twine. He said:
do not think we should attempt general re-
Wis on OF the tariff at this time. We should
offer the country relief by pass
ing bills for putting the articles
named on the free list, and sending
them to the Senate. general tariff bill cannot
be enacted into law, and would keep congress
here until October. think there should be ap-
pointed a strong committee on manufactures
with able investigators on il. IL should consist
OF fifteen members, ten Democrats and five Re-
publicans. This would lAake five suo-commit-
tees Of three each. They should divide the
work. one investigating textile industries. an
other iron production another glassware and pot
terry and so on. Thus the committee could go on
with its work and then subsequently get all the
testimony without long list of hearings These
sub-committees could go on during the session
and also during the recess. TheirinQuiries should
not be conducted with spirit of hostilit5 to-
ward manufacturers, but with view TO ascer-
tain the bottom facts, and ascertain in each
case what, IL any, degree OF protection is needed,
rs have suspicion that frequently ii is repre-
sented that they need a great deal more pro-
lection than is really the case. il should be
ascer aimed what the labor costs on the things
produced; the wages paid; whether the work
be steady or not; the prohts On the
actual capital, and not on watered stock; the
relative cost OF production here and abroad;
whether there are tacit or direct agreements to
limit production and much more information
OF a practical character. This information is
not now 10 be had.
The party could then fight the Mckinley bill,
and If We win in the elections this information
would enable US to form tariff bill adapted to
the country. and we will pass it in the Fifty
third congress. II we fail in the elections then
the information has been obtained, and we can
keep on until the country is educated against
