OUR MERCHANT MARINE.
Senator Fps's Able Speech Before Wharton
School Alumni. Philadelphia.

! PHuApELrlifA, Feb. 27.---i mtel State,
Senator Frye WAS rendered fla,tering re
ception by the alumni of the Wharton
School of Finance of the University OF
Pennsylvania at the Natatorium Saturda,
night, and made an able and comprehvn.
siye speech on the Merchant Marine"
After referring to the marvellous progress,
of American commerce the speaker sab
that in one industry and one alone. yet thai
one of national Importance, it had sickened
and nearly died; with inexhaustible forests
an immense sea coast, splendidly equipped
shipyards, unlimited capital. the merchant
marine of this country had in the foreign,
trade been reduced to almost nothing, and
that in our own ports the foreign flags were
as 100 to l.
Mr.. Frye then went on to say that the
theory that protection had killed the Amer
lean shipping industry Was false. In sup
port of this he said that in 1889 and 1890
our imports from Central and South Ameri-
ca were 800 ,000, 900 and our exports only
$50 900 900
In 1889 we bought from Brazil $50 900
600 of imports, 81 per cent. of which came
in free, while we exported only 50 900, 900.
During the same time Great Britain import
ed from Brazil only So 900, 900, and ex-
ported S34 900 900.
In speaking of the Chinese Wall" of
Protection in 1861 as not being the cause of
the decline in shipping, Mr.. Frye said that
in 20 years before our imports and exports
amounted to between l. and lG billions
From 1861 to 1892, inclusive our ex-
ports and imports amounted to S35 800 900 =
900 and in the last 10 years to SIG, 300
o00,0hU, or 81 900 900 900 more than in
the 10 years prior to 1861.
1.-The tariff, said he. has not decreased
our commerce. Last year it amounted TO
almost 50 900, 900, 900, yet we carried only
l3 per cent. of 1t in American bottoms.
1--WE paid Great Britain $50, 900 600 to
carry our own goods There is commerce
enough here to utilize all the ships our ship
builders can construct, but it is carried
under foreign flags
The speaker argued that il was really
protection to foreign shipping in the shape
of bounties and subsidies that had made
them so powerful; that for 100 years Eng
land did not permit any trade with her
colonies except under the English flag.
As early as ls5j she paid 50 900 900 in
subsidies, and when the Cunarl line was
established in 1889 it received in subsidies
SIPS, 900 annually, which were increased to
$50, 900 in 1862, when the Collins line was
started under the American flag, and finally
reached 81 900 900 year, she even guar
anteeing her steamships per cent. diNi-
dends
Tho result is that last year Great Britain
built ~ per cent. of the ships of the world
and owned half the documented vessels

THREE TRAINS COLLIDE.


NEW HAVEN, CT, Feb. 27.-The worst
accident that has has happened on the
Consolidated Road in this vicinity in
several years, occurred about ! o'clock this
afternoon in the Cut between Court
street and Grand avenue. Locomotives,
ears and merchandise are piled almost to
the height of the street, which is about u
feet at this point.
The tracks Of the Northampton division
enter the cut about 100 yards above the
scene of the accident At this point the
tracks of the three divisions run parallel
/ The regular through freight from North
ampton, due here at / - was IL minutes
late.
Closely following this was an extra
freight hauling ties. When the extra
freight entered the cut no danger signal was
shown Suddenly Engineer Allen saw a
danger flag and a moment later the rear
end of the regular freight ~ feet ahead
His engine was Instantly reversed, hut in a
moment more ihe trains collidrd The
rear cars of the freight were thrown
squarely across the track blocking all the
tracks. If
Fireman Frost was thrown on the Shore
Line tracks Almost before Frost c"ull
realize his pcrilous position the Shore Line
through express came dasliing along at 30
mile gait. Fortunately for Frost II" was
enabled to roll over just in time To escape
being cut in tao.
4 second later the express ran into the
already huge pile of wreckagc, jamming
and wedging cars and engines into cha
otic mass Fireman Charles Bedeil of the
express was crushed by falling cab, ant
received injuries supposed to he fatal. The
passengers were violently thrown about, 9
scene of great excitement following, but
no one was injured in the passenger
coaches.
At the depot tonight the railroad officials
said the trouble WAS owing to the unex
pectedly standstill of the local freight ant
slippery rails which would not allow the
brakes of either the tie train or the accom-
modation to be effec;ual in the short dis
taurp
