Acting on the presidents recommen-
datlon. an effort is likely to be made
At the present session to pass a free
min bill. and a great deal Of concern
Is beginning to be felt among those en-
gagged in ship-building in various parts
Of the country At recent meeting Of
ship owners held at Bath, Maine, the
following statement was prepared for
publication:
sThe demand for change is not
from those who have ever contributed
10 our merchant marine, nor from those
who desire to do so now. 1t comes in-
sidiousIy from agents Of allen princi-
pals, who. having secured our carrying
trade, now seek the protection Of our
flag for use in European war, which,
without this protection, means their
ruin.
THE change proposed does not mean
Ships free for our people, but the loan
Of our flag to foreign rivals. 1t cannot
build up our merchant marine, for the
denial Of the privilege 1t grants did not
cause its decadence.
sThe question Is not one Of politics
The laws which stand between US and
disaster were approved by Washington.

been criticised by an American presi-

plead is bulwark of national defense.
The glorlea Of our navy we owe to the

on the ships they built.

the fact that the first blow struck OF

struck by the war for the Union, which
this industry more than any other Of

Still Digging for the whisky.

Drospectors Wenner and Kroksh are
still at work on the old steamboat, which
was found twelve feet below a sandbar in
the Missouri River, south of Elk Point,
and which was sunk thirty-five years ago.
The men have made very little progress
during the past two or three.weeks, owing
to the insufficient casing of their shaft and
to the lack Of strength of their water buck
cts. Both these defects have been cured,
and they hope to reach the object of their
ambition within a short time. There is
considerable speculation as to whether the
whisky in the hold of the steamer will he
found in good condition.

Defaulter Tavlor In chm,

The information first sent out as to the
location Of w. w. Taylor in Chill seemst to
be verified by parties who are in a position
to know. w. c. Kiser, Of Redfeld, n of
Taylor's bondsmen, has just returned from
Chicago, where he met C.. H. Vinton, a
cousin of Taylor who told him that Tay-
lor is now in Chill. Vlnton gave this in
formation on the belief that Taylor is safe
from %extradition. Attorney General Craw-
ford, when approached in regard to the
matter, would neither admit nor deny that
Taylor is in Chilli, but admitted that he is
in South America, but that he does not ex-
'pect any definite developments for about
thirty days, as the detectives are about
that far behind TAYLOR,

MEXICO CRY special: The falling in
silver exchange has had . continual bene-
fetal effect on MexicO's remittances abroad.
The only drawback to . larger volume Of

The budget committee reports an excess
over expenditures of 500, OO0. The result
OF the efforts made to balance receipts and

tion Of Mexican silver Is a surprise even to
the most sanguine. Secretary of the

Think They Are Drowned.

1t is feared at Castalia that Phileas Tur.
ge0n and John Trechey have both been
drowned in the Missouri River. Last week
they went with a skitf to attempt to raise
through the ice during the winter, and
have not returned. One oar, Turgeon's
cap, Trechy's coat and other apparel
floated ashore, but the boat aud men. san.
not be found. 1t is supposed both are
drowned, and that Turgeon, who was a
good swimmer, lost his life in attempting
to save Trechy, who could not swim.

llgher prices for fall delivery; rains il
northwestern wheat regions, were greatly
needed; further increases in wages OF in
dustrial employees; heavier shipments OF
wheat abroad and the rise OF the weeks
bank clearings above the $1,000, OOO, 600
mark are evidence of the continuation Of .
better feeling in trade circles and return
Ing confidence in many lines of business.
The list of increases of quotations for sta
pies includes hides and leather, with pros
poets for further advances; cut meats at
western points, as well Al for cattle.
Prices are unchanged for hogs and pork,
refined sugar, coffee, copper and cotton.
Decreases OF note are for lard, lead and
fractionally for wheat and oats. There
are 40 business failures reported. Some
New England cotton mills have sold a
. years output for export and have cheap
raw material to meet the contracts. Wool
and wooden industries report less activity,
but the improved prospect in iron and
steel and advances in petroleum and for
lumber at almost all centers, with activity
In the building trades, is having an in.
lluence. Exports of wheat, -four included
as wheat, from both coasts of the United
States amount to 2,85S, o3S bushels, nearly
1900 bushels more than in the preceding
week.
BosToN special: The past week the mar
ket has shown an increase in the volume
Of wool. The mills employed upon wool
ems are as yet doing little in the way of
using up woods. The maintenance of a
firm tone abroad has q tendency to keep
prices up here. Prices for some of the
leading descriptions are as follows: Penn
sylvania. No. l fleece, 10 cents; Xxx and
above, 1871 to II cents; delaine fleece, Ohio,
Is to 10 cents; Territory woods, Montana

tornia woods, spring northern, 10 to 12115
cents; middle county, spring, 9 to II cents;
Oregon woods, eastern fair, 3 to 10 cents.
NEW YORK special: That the American
Sugar refining Company will engage in
the distilling of spirits is made certain by
the fact that a distiller's license has been
taken out by the company. Its purpose is
to utilize all the product of the sugar refin-
cries, q portion of which it has been send
ing to New Bedford for manufacture into
rum and for which it received about 2
cents q gallon. The understanding is that
one of the old refineries in the eastern dis
trict Of Brooklyn will be converted into a
distillery, with q capacity of $1,000 gallons
proof spirits a day.

list. Secretary Smith will determine
whether the state can select the lands, and
il so, whether it will not be compelled
also to pay for them at the same price as
agreed upon in the treaty with the Indians.
In the enabling act admitting South Da-
kota the state was granted about SOC, Coz
acres of land. 1t is an open question
whether selection made OF ceded Indian
lands would not mean that the state would
get them free Of charge, while settlers
have to pay 1915 per acre. The pr0clama-
ton will be withheld until the questions
are investigated.

he had been stopping for some time, the
