A sharp discussion occurred at yester-
days meeting OF the board of naval chiefs
relative TO the modification Of general or.
der 433. This order gives to the naval COM
structor general supervision Of all work on
ships. including that originating from other
branches of the service. Efforts have been
made to modify the order on the ground
that it conferred in the chief naval con-
structor a practical control Of all the CO.
ordinate branches of the department BY a
vote of to the board decided a week ago
to recommend a change, the constructor
voting to continue the old system. ma
jority report was to be made. but up to
date ii has not been submitted. In the
meantime the minority report of the chief
constructor was submitted. At yesterday
meeting inquiries were made as to the
cause for not making the majority report
and il was finally decided TO hold another
meeting in order to hurry the question to
definite issue. 1t Is exciting much inter
est in official circles. as the decision Is felt
to involve the control OF the construction OF

CHARLESTON THE SUFFERER.
John A. Smith Before the Interstate
Comm iSSiOn


Two witnesses in the Charleston rate
case We're examined by the interstate COM
merce commission at the forenoon session
yesterday. They were B.T. Newbury general
freight agent of the Old Dominion Steam
ship Company and John A Smith, presi-
dent of the Charleston bureau of freight
and transportation.
Mr.. Newbury was questioned as to the
business done by his line with the west
through the south. He said that on through
rates made by his line with the railroads
they were able to compete successfully
with the northern trunk lines on western
packing house products through Norfolk
to points on the Maine coast, though the
direct rail route was 500 miles shorter.
This point was brought out by the COM
plainants with the view of showing the
possibility of moving freight cheaply
through the south.
Mr. Smith was the main witness for the
complainants and presented in great detail
the facts collected by the Charleston COM
mercial bodies tending to show discrimina-
ton against that city and in favor of the
cities known in traffic parlance as 1.-The Vir-
ginia gateways."
Mr. Smith gave instances where the
through rates from Chicago to Charleston
were from to p cents greater per him.
dred than the combination rate from Chi
cago to Norfolk, and thence to Charleston.
In addition he declared that the railways
nade 1t impossible for the Charleston mer-
Grants to take advantage of these combina-
ton rates.

TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA.
How We May Compete With the Ma
fions of the World.

limited States Consul Hill sends to the
State Department from Santos, under date
of April Is tables showing the trade OF
the United States with the various South
American countries during the last ten
wears There has been during the decade
a steady decline in our imports from south
America in values and quantities; for, with
the single exception of coffee, the staples
constituting our imports from that section
india rubber, wool. sugar, hides, etc-) are
higher in price today than they were ten
years ago. Coffee, which has greatly in
creased in quantity, has fallen tremendously
in value.
The most notable expansion in our export
trade during the last ten years has been
with Europe: but there has been greater
increase with every part of the world than
with South America He continues:
The United States should employ the
agencies adopted by European nations in
attaining their supremacy in these markets.
viz: steamships under our own flag, banks
under our own control and business houses
under distinctiyely American management.
Once we are placed upon terms of equality
in these particulars, our merchants can be
left to their own initiative.

need doubt that. with our present capacity
to manufacture largely and cheaply, we
shall gradually assume our proper place
as a competitor in South American trade"
Consul Hill mentions the good effects of
the cruise of the Wilmington to the upper
reaches of the Amazon. He says:
I'm addition to the labor of exploration
that formed such an important object of
the cruise. the display of a modern steel
vessel perfectly adapted to river work
as the Wilmington is a fit exhibition of the
capability and preparedness of our domes-
tic designers. steel plants, shipyaTds and
ordnance works to turn cut products equal
to the best.
Nothing that comes within the actual
purview of foreign folk, whether native or

of a nations Industrial power or weakness
