FAvoRs FREE SHIPS.
Commissioner of Navigation Says Japan
is Taking Away Our Pacific Business.


Washington, Novem Der 15.--Despite the
fact that there is no PRO liability of either
this Congress or the next passing a free
ship bill, the commissioner Of navigation,
in his annual report refers prominently
= the subject and urges the necessity
for the passage of such a measure. He
invites attention to the fact that our
maritime rank on the Pacific is now
threatened by rival, Japan, which has
just established trans-Pacifio steam
ship line to the United States and, with
the cooperation of American capital, is
preparing to extend rapidly the service
The commissioner says: 's4he large and
profitable carrying trade, once conducted
between Asiatio and European ports by
American vessels which seldom entered
American ports, has almost entirely
psss3d away. We have already seen the
American flag almost wholly disappear
from the mid-A tlantic, save as borne by
mail steamers of the American line, and
figures show that the carrying trade of
the Pacific is slipping from us. Within
the last five years Japan's sea-going
steel steamers have increased from 1S Of
81, 701 tons to 5S of 106, 1888 tons''s
Opposition is expressed at some length
