SHTPRUILDING IN NEW-ENGLAND.

The annual shipbuilding number" Of 1.-The
Industrial Journal" OF Bangor, Me-, contains an
interesting and encouraging exhibit OF the STATE
of shirbuilding in New England. 1t has been
the fashion Of late to bewai the decay OF this
time-honorcd industry, but :he facts NY no means
point to its immediate extinction. During 1891
there were launched from shipyards in Maine,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut no
less than 252 vessels aggregatlng nearly
$4,000 tons. The record for 1890 was 2OI
vessels and 99,S42 tons, showing an apparent
decrease; 1890. however, was an eX-
oeptiona year, and a comparison OF re-
cent Maine figures really indicates decided
howard tendency. In 1886 the new tonnage
was 1905; 1854 in 1897, 16,0s7 in 1883,
80, SCI in 1899, "a, 466 in 1890, and 47,32I
in 1891. 80 that in that part OF this country
which for over a century has been the cher
shipbuilding centre measure of activity Is ap-
parent that permits of hopeful augury.
Since the days of the original Rappahannock
the United States have produced the largest and
best sailing ships in the world and this record
the Maine shipyards still sustain. The great
four-master Shenandoah, lately in New-iork
Uarbor. is somewhat smaller than the French
iron fve-master La France, built in Scotland,
but she is the largest wooden saiing-ship atloat
she has lofer spars than any other vessel IN the
world, and her recent splendid achievements in
speed place her in the front rank for fast sail
ing. The Shenandoah is the second OF the cee-
brated Sewe fleet of four-masted frelght-car-
ries built at Bath, The first. the Rappahan-
mock, launched two years ago, was burned at
Juan Fernandez The Susquehannah was nm
ished last month, and the largest OF all, the
Roanoke. Of about $500 tons, is now on the
stocks, and will be launched during the sum
mer. This hardly looks a. though foreign COM
uetiton had made marine architecture in America
a lost art.
Square rugged vessels are apparently declining
in favor with the Maine shipbuilders. although
the square-rigged tonnage for 1892 will prob
ably double that Of 1891. 1t Is noticeable how
ever. that large craft for both tho coastwise and
foreign trade are supplanting the small schooners
that met the demands Of few years ago. New
Vessels of less than 800 tons are perepubly
fewer. and the large schooner is apparently the
vessel Of the future. "The Industrial Journals
suggestion that wooden ships will still be pre.sr-
able for service in the tropical waters where
Reciprocity is to develop profitable foreign
commerce is coupled with handsome recognl-
ton of the present Administration SUCCESS in
creating the iron shipbuilding industry, and
reiterated demand for Government aid for the
New-England yards. Whether this aid Is forth
coming or not it is significant that the construc-
ton Of such vessels rs the Roanoke should still
be found a profitable undertaking; and an era
of decadence that closed ~ honoiably can hardly
be considered to justify the unpatriotic deduc-
tons of Free Trade pcssimism.

RAW FIBRE AND RECIPROCITY.

The value of the henequen exported from
Yucaan last year was nearly Sc, 900. This
marked an increase Of nearly 100000 over
the previous year. The bulk of this product oil
raw fibre was shipped to the United States, for
which free market was opened by the removal
of the duties in the Mckinley Act. The in
crease of over 100000 pounds was largely
caused by the action OF Congress in rpeanQ
the duties No statistics have yet been received
in relation to Tampco or xtlc fibre, but similar
gain in the volume of exports has undoubtedly
been secured. Raw fibre ranks with coffee a
the chief agricultural export of Mexico. Both
products enter free market in the United
States.
The removal of the duties on raw fibre was
one of the concessions made to Mexico in the
ant-Romero convention, which was hung up
in Congress after special commission had been
appointed to negotiate it, The rejection of that
treaty caused great irritation in the Southern
Republic since it had been agreed to reluctantly
and only after urgent solicitation from Wash.
ngton. A few years passed and the United
States voluntarily repealed the duties on fibre
without obtaining any concessions in return
Mexico at once profted by the free market and
largely increased It's shipments OF fibre 10 the
United States. At the same time its Govern
ment has not been grateful for the concession
and has not given Americans credit for it.
There has been much resentment On account OF

one appreciative comment from the Mexican
press upon the free market opened for this great
agricultural staple. This is an unerrlng lndica-
ton of the folly Of granting giatutous favom
to Southern counties.
If Jaw fibre had been added to the RECIPROCITY
schedule of the Aldrich amendment, there would
have been a treaty with Mexico negotiated with
out delay. With coffee alone available as
basis Of action the margin has been too narrow
since the surplus Of that crop is not large ana
is of such superior quality that the planters are
not dependent upon the American market. If
the duties upon raw fibre had been repealed
condtionally as was done in the case OF sugar
and the retention of the free market had been
left dependent upon the negotiation OF Reel
procity convention, great agricultural interest
in Mexico would have been affected and a treaty
would have been made last year There could
not be a mole striking proof Of the expedieney
of the Reciprocity policy than the contrast. al
forded by the treatment of sugar and fibre IN the
last Tariff bill. The duties on sugar were re-
pcaled with the Reciprocity rider, and 81 per
cent of the imported sugar supply is new covered
by treaties with Brazil, Germany, spain, the
British West Indies San Domingo and Hawaii.
by which large concessions have been obtained
for the American export trade. The duties on
raw fibre were repealed Internationally. and no
equivalent advantages have been secured. Mex

for the preservation Of a magnificent forest do
main and game reserve. The Stockdale bill IS
an iniquitous and scandalous railway strike for

chaser.

shown by its resistance 10 a compromise pro
no,ed by Representative Dixon, of Montana.
This scheme alters the boundary of the Park
so as to provide cutoff on the northern eus9
where RAILWAYS can be constructed to Cooke
CITY outside the Reservation. This compromise
will satisfy the mining camps and will not in
iuro the Park. since the district to be cut oil
is of small extent is not heavily wooded, and

Senator Vest is willing to accept this compro-
mise. and TO take the north bank OF the yell

the Park. As rich mining region Will be
opened in this way by railways outside the
Park there can be no valid objection to this
method of settling the controversy. This method
of procedure will completely unmask the railway
lobby and disclose its real motives in obstruct-
ing wise and useful legislation for the sake OF
invading the Reservation and securing mo-
nopolv for a corporation of strikers. Mr. Stock
dale and the lobby will bear close watching dur

10 young men in DR.. Eatons church, with which
readers of The Tribune have been made well
acquainted, was carried che step nearer to com
pletion last night by striking address by Colonel
Higginson on the literary profession. On such
a theme Colonel Higginson speaks as one having
authority and the opportunities which literature
affords in America, especially 10 young men, were
set forth by him in most attractive and sug-
gcstive way. As in the case OF the previous
lectures in this course, full report is carried in

Department is not supplied with water-tOwer

Hence the three upper stores were consumed
without let or hindranoe, and adjacent buildings
caught FIRE, although it is believed that If the Fire
Department. had been properly equipped the
fire would at least have been confined TO the
building in which it broke out. The loss by the
