THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

c ENATOR HANNA is reported TO have stated
in recent interview at Cleveland that the ship
- subsidy BILL which failed OF passage owing to
lack OF time in the last Congress, will be taken up
early in the coming session and advanced as rapidly
as possible. He declared sanguine expectation that
the bill would be passed this session. but stated
1t viii be heroely opposed by strong lobby backed
up by foreign capital"
That foreign capital should interfere to prevent
American legislation and find Americans ready 10
serve it may sound strange, but it will not be the
first time such thing has happened It was largely
through the influence OF foreign steamship companies
that immigration restriction bills have been beaten
time and again, and it is foreign capital that now
in the past. opposing the construction OF the
Nicaragua canal and pushing the Panama scheme in
its place The foreigners who opposed 10 the up-
building OF the American merchant marine are many
and their interests in the matter are great for az
present they derive immense profits from their trade
in carrying American commerce, and the transfer OF
that industry ships under our own flag would mean
loss TO every foreign steamship line that has been
engaged in American trade.
From the reports that come to US it is not clear
whether the bill which Senator Hanna purposes 10
urge at the coming session is the Hanna-Payne bill
that which introduced by Senator FRYE as a
substitute for it The original bill was subjected 70
little criticism and attack but since the adjourn
ment OF Congress has been thoroughly discussed and
appears TO have the favor OF many who were
originally opposed to it It is TO be noted however
that in the annual report OF Mr.. Chamberlain. Com
missioner OF Navigation, summary of which was re-
Gently published in The Call the main argument was
directed to support Of the Frye BILL and it is therefore
probable that is the one which will be preferred by
the administration.

EUROPEAN RAILWAY PLANS.

FOR the purpose Of exploiting Asia and Africa
the nations OF Europe have outlined railway
plans immense scale The great Siberian
road at which Russia has been so long working,
is OF the most gigantic OF these enterprises
and has attracted attention. but there others
we'll worthy OF
One OF the mooted schemes is that OF constructing
a railway from a Mediterranean port across Asia
Minor and through the valley OF the Euphrates the
Persian Gull Such road would be largely under
the control OF the Turk, and that fact is all which
has thus far prevented beginning OF the work Rus
sa Germany and Great Britain are each OF them will
ing undertake it, but neither has been able to OBJ
tain the concession because OF the opposition OF the
other two. That road, therefore, may be an enter
prise in the air only for some time to come but the
recent arrangements that have been going on be-
tween Great Britain and Germany may result in some
agreement that will provide for the work.
A movement which will doubtless give an impetus
10 the Siberian line and will materially aid it in COM
petng for trade has been started in Sweden for the
extension OF the Swedish state railroads the port
OF Kappelskar, from which there is to be a line OF
steamers 10 Hango, in Finland where there is con-
nection with the Siberian road Ii is believed that
with the powerful breakers which modern mechan-
ism has devised will be possible keep these ports
open all winter and thus provide continuous traffic
Should the plan succeed Siberian trade with Great
Britain and the western world generally will pass
across Sweden and not across Germany unless the
Kaiser should prevent the loss by constructing bet
ter roads and giving cheaper rates than Sweden can
afford
In Africa many roads planned Every nation
that has taken share OF the Continent is preparing
to build more railways for the purpose OF de-
veoping and holding the territory acquired At the
close OF 1890 there less than 5000 miles OF rail
way in operation in Africa but at the present time the
mileage is double that, and it is said lines for whose
completion financial arrangements have been already
made will add $500 miles more TO the total That
however, is but the beginning The Germans have
projected road to Tanganyika, the French one
from Algeria TO the Soudan, and the Belgans one
from the Congo 10 the Nile Even excluding Cecil
Rhodes project OF railway from Cairo 10 Cape
Colony, it is said to be conservative estimate that
within decade there will be fully 5000 miles of rail
road in operation in Africa
When these vast enterprises have been completed
and the machinery OF modern industry and trade is
carried freely into the deserts and the wildernesses of
Asia and Africa there will be mighty change not
only in those two continents but in the world The
coming century. il II do not begin with general
war the prospective spoils will start with an
industrial activity too vast to be comprehended by
foresight II is in vain the barbarian protests and
fights against civilization Where there is machinery
it must be kept moving.
