ONE PLAN.
For the Revival Of the American Mer.
chant Marine.
Advocated by BAH Man Who Does Not
Believe in Discriminating Duties Alone.

The, New York Herald on Sunday
printed the following letter from Hon.
William Eogers of Bath. under date of
Dec. II:
How poorly equipped this country is
to engage in the contest that would
follow the enactment of law enforc-
ing discriminating duties in favor of
American ships is easily demonstrated
by the fact that we now have only 81
ships less than % years old, with an
aggregate tonnage of III ,02O, while the
United Kingdom alone added in 1896 10
her fleet 1868 first class seagoing steam
ers and So sailing ships, with a total
tonnage Of 2.797, ,764.
If discriminating duty against for
eign bottoms should force shippers to
our doors, begging us to take the for
eign carrying trade, we would have %
confess that we have not the ships to
do the business and could not build
them fast enough to accommodate it.
The official record for 1896 shows we
then had only 1927 ships. barks, briggs
and schooners engaged in the foreign
trade under American register. They
We're divided-and their number is still
less now-into full rigged ships. 1874:
barks and barkentines. 295; briggs, and
brigantines. SO. and schooners (two 10
five masts), TAG. Their total tonnage
was S44953.
OF the ships only seven are less than
ten years old, with a total tonnage of
1908; between 10 and Is years old
there are 10, tonnage 3S,e4O; Is years
old 13. tonnage 23.212; between Is and
tonnage $4,000; 21 years old, II, tonnage
1859: % years DID, Z. tonnage 1886,
and the iron ship May Flint, age un-
known. 2340 tens.
OF the remaining 81 ships between
the ages of 23 and 80 years two are
small whalers. Most of the remainder
are engaged in the cheaper lines of
service, while several are being
changed into barges.
Next come barks and barkentines.
OF these 295 vessels. only So have been
built since 1880. Of the remaining 2l0,
two were built in the forties, IA in the
fifties, 35 in the sixties and 40 in the
seventies Twenty-nine of these ves-
sells are small whalers. OF the remain
ing 10 several are without class and
difficult to locate.
OF the brigs and brigantines, four
were built 1880 OF the remaining 2l0
two were built in like most of the
barks, having long since passed their
days of usefulness.
An examination of the ages of the
schooners shows that very large por-
tion Of them was built prior to 1885,
1t should be borne in mind also that
avery large part Of the above tonnage
does not stand as AL insurable at
theslowest rates.
Against such an array, the United
Kingdom alone, during 1885 and 1886,
constructed and added to her already
immense fleet 1.917,764 tons of first
class steam tonnage. besides SO sailing
ships of 10000 tons.
This table shows the number OF
steamers o-builts in 1896 in various

Clubhouse Features.

The Maennerchor Society of the city is
preparing to move back to it's building on
Washington street between Alabama and
New Jersey. The building is now being re-
modelled. While this work has been going
on the society's musical rehearsals have
been conducted in the Commercial Club
building. The opening chorus of the sea-
son will be given by the society on the
evening of Saturday, Sept. 25. On this oc-
casion the large society hall on the third
floor of the Maennerchor building will be
formally opened.
The Maennerchor Society has invited the
Cincinnati Liederkranz, one of the finest
singing societies in the country, to assist
IN the opening exercises. The invitation
has been accepted and the great Cincinnati
chorus will be here to join the Maenner-
chor in an evening of song. 1t is probable
that the local society will take possession
of the large rehearsal room on the second
moor OF its building in the next two weeks.
The entire building is now in the hands of
the painters and decorators and great haste
is being made to get the rooms ready for
the opening night
When the work is complete the Maen-
nerchor Society will have a handsome
home. Everything about the building will
be new and in the best taste. On the
ground floor will be the public bar and
restaurant. The society has arranged with
Franz Steinbart, who was for six years
manager of the German Club Milwaukee,
to take charge of the restaurant. This de-
partment viii be open to the public. On

BANEY In SHACKLES.
He Leaves for Michigan City in an
Ugly Mood.

Noah Baney, the convict who asserts w.
E. Hinshaw is innocent of the crime for
which he is serving a life sentence, was
taken back to the Northern Prison yester-
day afternoon. The guard who had the
prisoner in charge deemed 1t best to place
the handouts on his man before starting
back Baney was much annoyed when he
learned from Turnkey Taffe that he was to
go back to prison wearing the shackles.
When Baney was brought down the first
of the week the irons were left off. He
could not understand why he should be
handcuffed on the return trip and intimated
to the turnkey that he would refuse to
allow the guard to put them on him.
Taffe, however convinced Baney that he
would be very foolish to make an objection,
which would certainly hurt his own cause.
Baney at length consented to wear the
handouts, but left the jail in an ugly moou.
Attorneys Parker and Hunt who have
been here with Baney, left the city yester-
in the case until the September session of
the Hendricks county grand jury. me
police of this city say they have no ac-
uuaintance with the woman Carrie James,
who was supposed to have been associated
with Van Tassel, Whitney and Baney.
Baney's guard called on Police Superin-
tendent Colbert yesterday morning ana
