Navigation Commissioner Chamberlain's
Annoal Report MAKES Pretty
Inieresiiog Reading for
Americans.

WASH, SGToN. Dec. 2.--The annual re-
port OF the commissioner OF navigation,
Eugene +. Chamberlain. is mainly an
argument for free ships, based on the
maritime standing and the policies OF
the United States and other nations.
He says that American enterprise is a
century ahead OF the law. for Americans
own more steamships. forbidden by the
registry law to wear the American colors
than their own steamships in foreign
trade under the stars and stripes, and
the admission OF such vessels to Ameri-
crn registry is desirable to advance our
msritime rank.
In 90 years only one American steam
ship has once visited Hamburg. the
greatest continental port. and last year
only two sailing vessels entered there.
Every bushel OF grain which left New
York for Europe last year was carried
under foreign flag. 1l.0O0 vessls pass
ing the Suez canal in the las. six years
only six have been American.
Every civilized nation but the United
States allows Its citizens the use OF the
national flag over her vessels in foreign
trade. wherever bought. Having learned
otherwise they will buy vessels under
foreign flags or abandon navigation al
together to their foreign rivals.

Discovering That She Had Made q Mistake,
She Apologized.
In front of Trinity church a stylishly
dressed young woman stepped from the
sidewalk directly in front Of a team Of
heavy horses attached to well loaded
truck. She was endeavoring to catch the
eye Of a cable car gripman and did not
see the rapidly moving truck bearing
down upon her. Passersby expected to
see her ground to earth, but one of two
fashionably appearing young fellows
with slightly dudish proclivities rushed
to the curb, and lifting the woman by
the arms quickly swung her around and
landed her out Of danger on the side
walk.
She, all unconscious of her dangerous
predicament, turned on the young man
sharply with an indignant. "How dare
you, sir!" and looked as IL she were
contemplating an assault ON him with
her parasol
The young fellow looked surprised,
and then, taking off his hat, bowed and,

The driver Of this calmly remarked:

don't you scratch his eyes out?"
The woman. for the first time realiz-
ing her narrow escape. hurried after the
rapidly disappearing youths. who had
nearly reached Rector street by that
time. Touching her rescuer's arm, she
quickly apologized for her rudeness and
thanked him for his timely act.
Don't mention it, please. The pleas

was the response. Two hats were doffed,
and the blushing woman was left on the
sidewalk with a humiliating sense Of
her previous rudeness.
