SHIPPING STATISTICS.
Commissioner Chamberlain Reports on Con.
dition Of American Shipping.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Complete returns
received by Commissioner Chamberlain
of the navigation bureau of the treasury
department, show that the doeumented
American merchant shipping, on June 80.
1893. comprised q, 705 vessels "a, 49, 73S
gross tons, compared with g. 633 vessels
OF "a, 69,e20 tons on the like date in 1897.
The decrease of 1922 tons is more appar-
ent than real as II, GOO tons of this amount
is due to dropping fractions of tonnage
in the accounts, and 66,7l3 tons We're sold
to the navy and war departments to carry
troops, supplies and provisions, and have
merely changed employees. The total
steam tonnage amounts to 6712 vessels of
2,3l OPS tons, compared with $3.50 vessels
of 2,35S, 55S tons for the previous year. AS
the vessels sold to the government We're
all steam vessels, the true increase is
greater than the figures indicate.
Sailing vessels have decreased from l. :
1853 tons for 1897, to 1886, S27 tons for
1898. Doeumented canal boats and barges
amount to 541,9SS tons, compared with
506.3o9 tons for the previous year. The
increase is chiefly in barges, which are
superseding sail vessels, especially in the
coal trade
Tonnage on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
has dropped from 2,647, 1876 tons for 1897 to
tonnage amounted to 1.437.500 tons, as
compared with 1,410.103 tons. The new
Alaskan trade has increased the Pacific
coast marine from 439,0l2 tons to 496, 767
tons. Western rivers have decreased
from 272109 tons to 261, 1872 tons. New
York state retains the first place, with
tonnage reduced from !, 33l. TAB to 1299, S25
tons; Michigan is still second. with a re-
duction from 477,602 to 45S, 100 tons, and
Ohio stands third. with an increase of
about 5000 tons. The greatest increase is
in Washington, from 1896 to 49, 167 tons,
and Alaska. from 1894 to 1855 tons. New
England shows a large decrease and the
Gulf an appreciate increase.
Steamers registered for foreign trade
number 1876, of 1871, ECO tons, compared with
1880, of So5,5S4 tons, for 1887. These figures
are the lowest since 1882 The decrease is
wholly in the sale of vessels, of which
$50. of 10000 tons, or about 90 per cent,
have been lost to trade during the year.
Registered steam vessels have increased
from 222. 1856 tons to 245, S59 tons. Through
the greater efficiency of sleam vessels.
our fleet for the foreign trade does not
show decrease in carrying power
The effect of the war is shown in the
sale of "a vessels, of 35, A01 tons, to foreign
ers, compared with sales of S243 tons. the
previous year. The sales Were chiefly due
to high premiums on American vessels
and cargoes demanded by insurance COM
panies during the brief period while
mines and torpedoes We're being placed in
our harbors The effect of the war is also
shown in the admission by acts of Con-
gress of 27,S24 tons of foreign vessels to
American registry. chiefly for transport
purposes. During the preceding eight
years only 55So2 tons We're SO admitted.

THE INQUIRY PROCEEDS

every survivor of the Maine VIII
-. Be Examined.
Havana, Feb. 25-The United States
court of inquiry into the loss of the
Maine met at II o'clock yesterday
morning and examined DR.. Heneberg,
Paymaster Ray and Chief Engineer
Howell, of the battleship. There was
q recess ordered at noon and it lasted
until 1:3O p. m. Several Witnesses
We're examined during the afternoon.
I Capt. Sampson says he has no idea
Of the length of time the court will
remain in session here. 1t all depends
upon the testimony and new features
requiring further investigation may de-
velop at any time. He added that,
sooner or later, every survivor of the
Maine will be examined by the court,
winch seems to imply that sessions for
that purpose will be held at Key West.
Although this information is meager,
it is absolutely all Capt. Sampson will
give to the press. The correspondent
OF the Associated Press sees him by
appointment twice daily, but there is
q rigid rule to observe silence until the
facts in the case have developed
through the testimony presented.
Capt. Sigsbee is panied by the COM
ments on his conduct while the Maine
was afloat, made by some of the pa
pers here, but it is pointed out that
such papers are not of the better class.
The captain has been so universally
courteous and is apparently so popular
with all that it is surprising that any
of the papers Of Havana should seek
to do him injustice.
