! shipping q member Of the cabinet and
the local marine office at London pays
out 5000, 900 annually in the way Of
salaries, the United States simply MAIN
tains bureiiu Of navigation at a cost Of
about So, 900 per annum. Against this
intrenched position and immense ad-
vantages which British shipping enjoys
and under these unequal conditions
nothing but strong protective policy
in favor of shipping will avail.
The United States has become indie
pendent of all the world in everything
on land. We can produce all that is
needful for the wants Of great people,
but when we come to the sea, notwith-
standing our coast line, our position and
natural advantages, we are helpless, i'm
potent and dependent.
The United States appropriates an
nually millions of dollars to improve
it's harbors, largely for the benefit of
foreign shipowners Foreign steamship
companies carry nearly all of our for
eign commerce and own or control most
of the valuable water fronts III our ports.
Some of the British steamship lines
pay as much as 500, 900 a year rent for
dock privileges i'll New York. In look
ing over miles of docks in the harbor of
New York only foreign flags flying from
the masts Of foreign ships are seen,
while the American flag is rarely seen
and for the most part floats only over
fferryboats, river and coastWise vessels.
The bill simply imposes an ad valorem
l.. H., n I L.
ing duties, or, i'll case of no duty, duty
of 10 per cent on all goods, wares and
merchandise imported into the United
States III foreign vessels. If these same
products should be imported in Ameri-
can ships, then there is no additional
duty, and if these products are now free
they would still remain free if brought
in American ships. The bill does not
prohibit or exclude foreign vessels from
carrying our foreign commj roe, as the
navigation laws of Great Britain did
once. The bill leaves to the importer
the choice of bringing his goods in for
eign ships and paying an additional
duty of 10 per cent on their value for
this privilege Or OF bringing them in
American ships and paying no addi-
tioGal duty whatever
The passage Of this bill would pro-
vide business for our ships which they
! do not now have and cannot get under
present conditions. Under the provision
that this act will not take effect for 5
months after its passage, ships can be
built and got ready for the new business
that will come to them.
The revival of American shipping, so
long neglected, is not the cause of any
patty nor of any particular interest; it
belongs to no section; it concerns the
whole country, its future prosperity and
welfare; it has become the cause of TO-
600, 0G0 of people. Henceforth they will
take care Of it; i'll their keeping it will
no longer languish; it will not die.
Sooner or later the patriotic cause of
upbuilding American shipping will tri-
umph, and AMERICANS will enjoy and use
their common share in the oceans of the
world and have their part i'll it's carry

That Is the Way the Turks Express Their
Highest Esteem.
In Professor Max Muller's new book
''Letters From Constantinople, Mrs
Max Muller states that the highest
mark Of respect 10 woman in Turkey
is to turn your back on her, and she re-
lates the following occurrence: 1--WE
were drinking CCifee one day at the
Sweet Waters, at the part which flows
by the gardens OF a country palace OF
the sultan.
"All at Cnce Sadik Bey jumped up
and ran behind tree, with his back to
the Sweet Waters. Two CT three closed
carriages Of the imperial harem were
passing along the road in the gardens
on the other side of the river, the blinds
SO far down that it was impossible to
see if any one was inside, and yet all
along cur side we saw the Turks, whether
officers or civilians, going through the
same absurd ceremony, and only when
the carriages were out of sight did they
return to their coffee. "

folded his mission and proposed uncon-
ditional surrender. The talk was long
and often interrupted by frequent out
bursts of temper and other signs of i'm
patience ON the part of Geronimo, and
it seemed as if he was on the point of
ending the truce and attacking Gate
wood. Gatewood's calm tone and cool
gray eyes recalled him to his senses,
however, and it ended with an appoint
ment for formal truce to ratify the
agreement.
Lieutenant Charles B. Gatewood was
a magnificent specimen of a soldier
tall, graceful and active, with a coun-
tenance nothing less than Cesarian.
There was in his face that determina-
tion and sincerity which commanded re-
spect even in degenerate savage like

Such enormous SUNS are being paid

From Plymouth there has Just set
sail the most powerful naval squadron
that has ever crossed the Atlantic under
any South American flag. Its destina-
tion is Valparaiso, and it constitutes the
recent additions to the fleet of the Chill
can republic. The squadron is COM
posed of ten vessels-namely, the armed
cruiser Esmeralda of 1000 tons, the
Ministro Zentono of 4, 900 tons and the
Almirante Simpson of 1000 tons, the
transport Andamos Of 5000 tons, four
torpedo destroyers capable of making
80 knots an hour, and couple of large
torpedo beats for ocean use, with
speed of 81 knots. The Esmeralda is de-
clared by naval experts in England to
be one of the most powerful lronclads
afloat. Besides these ships Chile has
still building in England an ironclad of
nearly 10000 tons, which is to bear the
name of O'Higgins; a schoolship, and
six torpedo boats With the feet that

The French government is now dis
cussing the ACCESSIBILITY of extending
the sytsem of anthropometric measure
ment from criminals to soldiers of every
grade and from the army to the entire
population. Of course the idea meets
with good deal of opposition by people
who consider that French citizens are
already burdened with too much red
tape and state interference. But there
are many enthusiastic champions of the
scheme, and it is probable that In the
long run it will be adopted.
