man-of-war, it is rare spectacle in for
eign ports 1t was different once. The
time was when the American merchant
marine outnumbercd even Great Britan's,
when our clipper ships We're seen every
where, and when American exports and
imports were carried in American bottoms.
II is the saddest kind of commentary upon
our shipping laws 10 think that with the
marvellous progress the world has made
increasing evidence that the United States
can beat the world in the construction OF
the fastest of vessels Of modern kind, this
country should stand at the foot of the
list in respect Of the size OF its merchant
marine
There is no use crying over split milk,
says the old adage. What needs TO be done
is to devise legislation, not tentative, but
positive. which will restore our ocean trade
There are two ways Of doing this One is
TO impose a discriminating tonnage tax
on merchandise carried In foreign or
American bottoms The other is to extend
the policy of mail subsidies carried out
| in the case OF the American Steamship
Line and pursued energetcally by Eng
l..
posed to the former method because it is
/ protection out and out; others object to
the latter for the reason that they hold
! the government should not subsidizc any
| thing. Both forget, however, that unless
one or the other Of these policies is car
ried into practice American shipowpers
could not compete successfully with their
more favored forcignrivals. Itmatters not
what are the means employed to wreSt the
! lost ocean trade from the grasp Of those
now holding it, SO the end aimed at is at
tanned.
OF course, in this case there is also a
wheel within a wheel The more ships

skilled labor; the greater this demand, the
better will be the workingInen's wages;
the better the wages, the greater The gen
eral prosperity, for in ship-huilding nearly
every industry enters. Thus it will be
seen much depends upon wise lcgislI-
ton, and wen may the hope be expressed
that the next Congress VIII he found equal

The Standards Madrid correspondent
telegraphs that the government has in
formed Queen Regent Christina that Gen
Marin, captain general of Porto Rico, has
in reply To an inquiry declared that he is
in favor of administrative reforms in the
Spanish West Indies. The correspondent
asserts that in Spain a current is decid-
edly setting in the direction of granting
reforms TO Cuba and Porto Rico, even in
conservative circles.
The Chronicle regards the resolution as
marking crisis in the relations between
Spain and the United States. 1t SAYS
it believes that the Senate and the House
of Representatives will pass the resolution
/ Immediately, and adds that there would be
a bad outlook for the relations of all ia
tions with the United States if its rcsOlu-

veto, the chief danger being for the United

SECRETARY FRANCIS.

The Gelay on the part of the Senate
in acting upon the nomination of Mr..
Francis for Secretary of the Interior IS
something unusual, and appears to show
that there is some foundation for the Ie-
port that his confirmation will be opp: ,sed
by the silver Democrats in the Senate
Ii would seem to be the part OF prudence
on the part of the silver brethren to vent
their spleen on Some other person than IA
nominee to a Cabinet office. These are
places which the President has a right to
fill with men of his own choice, and who
are in thorough sympathy with his views.
To reject Secretary Francis because he is
a sound money man would be manifestly
improper on the part of the Senate -isoston

AS VIEWED IN LONDON.
English Press Comment on the
Cuban Resolution.

London, Dec. Recommending tomor-
row on the action of the foreign committee
Of the American Senate in agreeing to
report favgably Senator Cameron's reso-
luton recognizing the independence of
Cuba, the Daily News will say it is Of
the opinion that the committees action
will not tend to any immediate result.
1t remarks that the condition of Cuba
is serious matter, and is naturally ir-
ritating to the free neighboring republic.
The strength OF the supporters of the
resolution lies in the fact that Spain
is unable TO subdue Cuba and viii prob
ably be willing to attempt dramatic
stroke of vengeance against the United
States.
The Standard implies its belief that
Spain would be able to take such course
owing to the naval weakness of the United

FRIZZELL'S STORY DENIED
His Would-be Victim Says She Had
No Desire to Die,

Plymouth. N. H., Dec. 1s.-Mrs Edith
Caldon Young, who was shot in both ears
last Wednesda yby Harry Frizzell, regained
consciousness today and made a sworn
statement beforena justice.
Frizzell shot Mrs. Young and then at
tempted to kill himself. He left a letter
saying in part that Mrs. Young would die
rather than leave him and that they had
determined to die together A few hours
after the shooting he regained conscious
ness and said that the shooting was done
and the letter was written at Mrs Young's
suggestion, that he loved her and that
neither desired to live.
The story as told by Mrs. Young to-
day is entirely different, and contradicts
Frizzell in all particulars. She says she
despiSed Frizzell and had desired him
to leave her clearinghouse; that she hao
no idea of killing herself, nor did she
plan to have Frizzell shoot her.
She did not know he was in the house
until, when she was in the sitting-roorn, she
heard the door open and FriZzeIi entered
and with an oath threw his arm about
her neck from behind and shot her i'll
the ear.
FriZzell was conscious today and keeps
to his original story. The attending ply
sician says that there is more than an
even chance Of both recovering.

EX-QUEEN LII AND HAWAII.

The erstwbilc queen OF Hawaii. Liliu-

use her influence to further the annexation
of the islands over which she once 'u.ed TO
the United States. The reason For this
complete change OF attitude on the part of
her former majesty OF the Cannibal ISL

and a regard for the chlidren's welfare that
cannot be possible in any other individual
or any company of them regulates their
coming and going. Apart from this view
of the case, however, is the feeling that
anything like a curfew law is an unwar-
ranted interference with personal free
dom, an irksome restraint foreign to Amer
lean ideas. Parental control should not
be lightly interfered with. 1t rests upon
natural and moral law that stands far
above any statute enacted by legislative
assemblies. This fact is recognized to the
widest possible limit BY the courts, who do
not deprive parents OF the control of their
children unless it is clearly shown That
one or the other, or both, are morally un-
fit to exercise it.
The curfew is a remnant of conditions
that obtained in days when mems private
affairs were largely regulated by public

Walker led the Florida delegation in the

reading clerk of the convention and his
stentoran voice caused the observation
that Florida's delegation was little but
