STEAMSHIP
HEARING HELD
BY the Senate Committee on
Commerce.
LAW SHOULD BE CHANGED
Before Any More Vessels Will Be
Built in This Country--Result
II 1t Is Changed.

Washington, Jan. 14.-The senate COM
mittee on commerce continued the hear
ings on the Hanna-Payne substitute bill.
Carriers association, and Theodore
Zarch, president Of the American Manu-
facturers' association, spoke in favor of
the bill. Clement Griscom, president of
the International Navigation company,
also advocated the bill. He gave the de-
tails of the organization of the company
and it's %transfer from Belgium to the
United States, and the building of the
st. Louis and St. Paul. These vessels
would have cost $1,000 900 less in Great
Britain han in the United States. In
tereSt and insurance charges were also
much higher in this country than in Eng
land. The $75O,OOO received annually
from the government for carrying the
mails lacked $4,000 of meeting the extra
expense involved in carrying the Ameri-
can flag. The company had made a liv-
ing, but it was evident that it could not
continue under the circumstances, and
would have to quit when the present YES
sells were worn out. The company had
not declared a dividend, and it was evil
den that under the circumstances no
more American ships could be built. He
thought nothing would restore American
shipping except the reduction Of the cost
of construction and the operation of
steamers. The passage of the pending
bill would relieve the situation, and if
it should become a law his company
would build four more 14,O00-ton ships
within the mex five years, and enter into
contracts for as many more not to be
completed within that period.
Senator Elkins asked if the bill would
so equalize the conditions as to put the
United States on an equal footing with
Great Britain, and Mr.. Griscom replied
that it would.
Mr.. Elkins also questioned Mr.. Griscom
as to the propriety of a tax on the tom
mage of British ships equal to the tax
imposed by Great Britain on American
ships. ~
Mr.. Griscom said he favored such a
measure, but he hoped there would be
no effort to put it or the pending bill.
He, said that there was no time within
the last twenty years that such legisla-
ton would not nave been advisable, and
that it was "idiotic folly % to enact it,
This statement brought from Senator
Frye the remark that it would nave been
secured except for the opposition of the
steamship companies.
Il know" he said, "of one instance in
which a man who never, under ordinary
circumstances, attended the early SEES
siOnS Of the senate, sat through the
morning. hour every day for four months
in order to prevent a measure of this
kind from coming up in the morning
hour"

McLaren VIII Not Go.

Chicago, IAN. A.-Right Rev. William
F.. McLaren, bishop of the Episcopal do
cese of Chicago, will be unable to accept
the appointment Of special delegate for
the church to Porto Rico, which was
conferred upon him recently by a COM
mission selected by the general conven-
ton at New York.
II hav decided not to co. said Bishop
McLaren, "at least not for several
months. I hope that I might visit Porto
Rico next fall, and then in an unofficial
capacity. The commission which Sc
lected me will probably send someone else
to look the field over in the meantime.
1t is the policy of the church to exercise
a spiritual jurisdiction over every square
foot of territory within the control of the
United States, and since Porto Rico has
been added to u possessions the Epis-
copal church will not delay carrying out
it's policy"

American ship-building and ship-owning in
%terests. The report of the committee,
drawn up by Mr.. Dingley and unanimously
agreed to by the committee, was regarded
as a very able and valuable document. The
committee reported a bill to remove certain
burdens on American shipping, framed by
Mr.. Dingley, which passed the house, but
there was not time to reconcile disagreeing
amendments between the two houses before
the Forty-sventh congress expired. While
this bill was under consideration in the
house he made a speech on the Revival
of American Shipping" in reply to Con-
gresham Cox, which placed him at once
in the front ranks of congressman and
gave him a national reputation. In 1882 he
was reelected as a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
At the opening of congress in December,
1884, Speaker Carlisle appointed him at the
head of the republican minority on both the
banking and currency mmi and the
select committee on American shipping
and s~hip-owning interests. Mr.. Dingley at
once re-introduced his shipping bill, which
was passed by the house and sent to the
senate. The latter body amended 1t by add
ing a provision for the encouragement of
American postal steamship lines, but sub
sequently the difference was adjusted in
conference, and the bill was approved by
the president on June "a, 1885.
On February II, 1884, Mr.. Dingley reported
from the shipping his bill to con-
stitute a bureau of navigation In the treas
ury department, and later In the month 1t
was passed in the house under a suspen-
sion of the rules. Subsequently the senate
concurred and the bureau was organized.
Mr.. Dingley was reelected to the Forty
ninth congress from the Second Maine dis
trict in 1884. At the annual meeting OF the
Congressional Temperance society, In Feb
ruary, 1887, Mr.. Dingley was elected presl-
| dent. In June, 1886, Mr.. Dingley was re-
elected to the Fiftieth congress and again
to the Fifty-first in 1883. the Fffty-second
in 1890, the Fifty-third in 1892. the Fifty
fourth in 1894 and the Fifty-fifth in 1896 by
large and increasing majorities. In the
Fifty-second and ~Fifty-third congresses he
was an active member of the committee on
appropriations.
In forming his cabinet prior to entering
on the duties of chief executive on March
4, 1897. President Mckinley rendered the
position of secretary of the treasury to Mr..
Dingley, but he declined the offer, pre-
ferring to remain in his position as chair,
man of the ways and means ana
floor leader of the republican party OF the
majority of the house. Under his lead the
house within Is days after the. fIfty-hfth
congress was convened in extraordinary
session on the 5th of March. 1897. by 'Presl-
dent Mckinley, passed a bill revising the
tariff. .
Mr.. Dingley was a C~ongregationalst IN
| religion. He was married on June. L., 1891,
to Miss Salone McKenney of Auburn, Me.
They have six children-Henry NJ, Charles
/, (deceased), Arthur, Albert c., chester

DOOR-OPENING UNHEALTHY JOB.

job on the list OF occupations. During the
holiday rush all the big stores have from
two to a dozen such employees h run
principally to boys. In the great office
buildings men do the work. Door openers
are on their feet from 7 o'clock in the
morning till business closes at 6 in the
evening, and it IS pull and push on the
heavy doors all day long, allowing persons
to enter or leave the stores and buildings,
without physical effort or without coming
into contact with the cold latch handles.
The work is poorly paid for. The wages
are lower than those given to the ordinary
laborer. and the men and boys engaged in
it are supposed to keep themselves neatly
clad and immaculate in linen. In some
places uniforms are provided for them.
Door openers are frequently missing from
their posts. New faces smile an the regular
frequenters or tenants of buildings. who.

"~Pneumonia,' Is the general answer, and
sufficient explanation.

coolest blasts of winter and the comfortable

that he cannot ''dress against" his condi-
