MERCHANT MARINE.
Commissioner Of Navigation Chamb
lain Argues for Free Ships.

Commissioner Of Navigation Chamb mber-
lain Argues for Free Ships.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The annual re-
port OF the Commissioners of Navigation.
Eugene +. Chamberlain, is mainly an
argument for free ships, based on the
maritime standing and policy of the
United States with other nations. de
says that American enterprise is century
ahead of the law, for Americans own
more steamships forbidden by the
registry law to wear American colors
than there are American ships in foreign
trade under the stars and stripes, and the
admission OF such vessels To American
registry is desirable to advance our mari
time rank.
In thirty years only one American
steamship has visited Ham burg, and last
year two sailing vessels entered the har-
Dor. Every bushel of grain which left
New York for Europe last year was car
ried under foreign flag. OF II 600 vessels
passing the Suez Canal in the last three
years, only six had been American.
Every civilized nation but the United
States allows its citizens the use of the
national flag over vessels in foreign trade,
wherever bought, having learned that
otherwise they will buy vessels under
foreign flags, charter such vessels or
abandon navigation altogether to foreign
rivals.
The report shows the extent to which
Americans have adopted these courses
and the couutry's consequent loss of
maritime prestige and profit. Other ma
tions, according To the Commissioner,
realize that from the freedom of the seas
q prohibitory registry law cannot act as a
protective tariff for ship-bullding, so they
have abandoned 1t. Those undertaking
to promote ship-building resort to SUBJ
sidies. Free registry and subsidies are
not conflicting propositions-one en-
couraging navigation, the other ship
building. The report says only ) per
cent. of the British merchant marine re-
ceive any Government compensation,
and that discriminating flag taxes have
been abandoned by maritime nations, as
they invite relation which nullities pros
pective benefits.
Amendments to the net tonnage and
tonnage tax laws, the abolition of registry
bonds and an extension of the power oi
the Secretary of the Treasury to mitigate
or remit penalties on sailing vessels are
recommended.

SEATTLE, Dec. 1.-The air was suffici-

Rainier being plainly seen. and there now
remains no doubt but that the mountain
has undergone many changes, but it is
due to a series of tremendous avalanches
OF snow, ice and earth, and not to any
unusual eruption. To-day it was observed
that the crater rim was intact, showing
that no trouble occurred there, but below.
Great slices OF the mountain have disap-
peared. and bluff of solid rock several
hundred feet high and of unknown
length has been formed. 1t is supposed
that other slides have occurred on the
other side of the mountain also.
