OUR MERCHANT MARINE.
American Vessels Carry 0 Per Cent. of
Our Exports and Imports.

American vessels during the past
three years have carried about per
cent. of our exports and imports. For
eign ships should carry the least, not
the greatest, part of American trade.
The remarkable growth of our steel in
dustries, the progress of shipbuilding
for the domestic trade. and our stead
lily maintained expenditures for the
navy have created an opportunity to
place the United States in the first
rank Of commercial maritime powers.
Besides realizing proper national
aspiration this will mean the establish
ment and healthy growth along all our
coasts of a distinctive national indus
try, expanding the field for profitable
employment of labor and capital. 1t
will increase the transportation facili-
ties and reduce freight charges on the
vast volume of products brought from
the interior to the seaboard for export,
and will strengthen an arm of the ma
tional defense upon which the founders
of the government and their successors
have relied. In again urging immedi-
ate action by the congress on measures
to promote American shipping and for
eign trade. I direct attention to the
recommendations on the subject in
previous messages, and particularly to
the opinion expressed in the message of
1899
I am satisfied the judgment Of the
country favors. the policy of aid to our
merchant marine, which will broaden
our commerce and markets and up
build our sea-carrying capacity for the
products of agriculture and manufact-
ure, which, with the increase of our
navy, mean more work and wages to
our countrymen, as well as safeguard
to American interests in every part of
the world
The attention of congress is invited
to the recommendation of the secretary
Of the treasury in his annual report
service. and favorable action is urged.

SO
our own manufacturers and exporters
highly appreciate the value of the serv-
Ices rendered not only in the printed
reports but also in the individual eff
forts of consular officers to promote
American trade An increasing part of
the work of the bureau of foreign com
merce, whose primary duty it is to
compile and print the reports is to an
swer inquiries from trade organiza-
tons, business houses, etc, as to con-
ditions in various parts of the world,
and, Notwithstanding the smallness of
the force employed. the work has been
so systematized that responses are
made with such promptitude and &C.
curacy as to elicit f1attering encomi-
ums. The experiment of printing the
consular reports daily for immediate
use by trade bodies exporters and the
press, which was begun in January,
1898, continues to give general salts
faction.

to bring this about, I appointed in
March last a civil commission COM
posed of the Hon. William II. Taft of
Ohio; Professor Dean c. Worcester of
Michigan; the Hon. Luke E. Wright of
Tennessee; the Hon. Henry c. Ide of
Vermont. aNd Professor Bernard Moses
of California. The aims Of their mis-
sion and the scope of their authority
are clearly set forth in my Instructions
of April Z, 1900, addressed to the sec
rotary of war to be transmitted to
them.
In the message transmitted to the
congress on the 5th Of December, 1899,
/ said, speaking Of the Philippine ISL
ands:
As long as the instruction contin-
ues the military arm must necessarily
be supreme. But there is no reason
why steps should not be taken from
time to time to inaugurate governments
essentially popular in their form as
by our troops. To this end / am con-
sidering the advisability of the return
Of the commission. or such of the mem
bers thereof as can be secured, to aid
the existing authorities and facilitate
this work throughout the islands,"
To give effect to the intention thus
expressed, I have appointed Hon. Will
lam H. Taft of Ohio; Professor Dean c.
Worcester of Michigan: Hon. Luke r.
Wright of Tennessee: Hon. Henry c.
Ide of Vermont. and Professor Bernard
the Philippine islands to continue and
perfect the work of organizing and es-
tablishing civil government already
commenced by the military authorities,
subject in all respects to any laws
which congress may hereafter enact.

ing Colcsburg had been evacuated
he sent a force to occupy Colcsberg
Junction and rode into Colesberr.
He secured an amount OF aJnmuni-

morning. The Beers are in full
retreat. The inhabitants ar well
and not starving; they have satfsr-
ed many indignitIcs at the hands
OF the Beers, but no violence.
London, March When the news
Of the rellel OF Ladysmith became
known, London literally went mad
with joy. The pent up jubilation
at the relief OF Kimberly and the
defeat Of Cron le could no longer ba
controlled, and with to-day's crown-
ing triumph, the national trait of
sell-restraint was thrown to tho
wind. The Lord Mayor Of London
tel egraphed congratulations to
Generals White and Butler. When
the Queen received the news at
Windsor, the bells on the curfew
tower of the castle were rung in
honor OF the event
The strain that for lis days had
kept the nation in terrible anxiety
was removed. The Lord Mayor
showed himself at window, oul Of
which hung a huge City Imperial
Volunteer flag, and the crowd
yelled itself hoarse. Staid mag.
mates grabbed tlaring posters from
newsboys and brandished "Lady-
smith Relieved to the roaring
throng. All thought OF business
was forgotten.
Nothing could be done on the
Stock Exchange except sing God
Save the Queen" and cheer. BUS.
ness closed at o'clock.
The storm of jubllatlon conferred
around the Mansion House and
thousands blocked the main ap.
proaches to that building. 1t was
a dense mass, chiefly business m n,
the majority CARRYING little uni in
lacks. Never before was tne.e ,ucn
a sale ot flags. All tra;lt was
stalled for hours.

new WORKERS
WERE EASY.

Two strangers from New York
met two pretty girls here last night
and an hour later were relieved OF
there pocketbooks. The New
Workers stated that they were given
general surprise as they never
imagined that a slick trick could
be performed in Wilmington. The
matter was reported to the police
and Officer Lyons and Captain
Black started an investigation. At
the p, w. g. B. depot they met Of
ticer Pierce and left him on guard.
Sergeant McDermott and Patrol
Driver Daniel Collins kept sharp
eye and saw the two girls and
placed them under arrest. In the
city court this morning Grace Dun
can was charged with the larceny
of $27, the property of Edward
Byrne. His testimony was 10 the
effect that his money was in wal
let in his pocket. He met the girl
and companion and they and he
and his companion VENT to the Wes-
tern Hotel. They had several
drinks together and they registered
at the hotel as man and wife.
The money disappeared while they
were III an upstairs room. An al
tercation occurred between them
and when he went to look for his
money he discovered that it was
gone Captain George Black testi-
fled that he received information
of the trouble at T.. 50 O'Clock. He
notified the officers and the girls

mott and Officer Collins. The girl
acknowledged that she took the
money and had part OF it IN the
pocketbooli and the remainder in
her stocking.

the larceny of $40 from Orlando Il.
Wright. His testimony was to the
effect that he was with Byrne and
went to the Western Hotel, He did
not register but Byrne registered
for both. He was assigned to 4
room with the defendant. Later
the other girl and Byrnc were in
his room. He did not miss his
money until he got 10 the depot in
search of the girls. The reason
they left the hotel vas on account
OF fight between the girls.
Captain Black testified that after
the girl was arrested sis was taken
from her and she acknowledged that
$40 belonged to Wright. They were
held in 5000 bail ior their appear
