HoAR,s DEFENSE.

Senator Hoar's letter. which appear.

The facts" which Senator Hoar

HAWAIIAN SHIPPING.

The senate committee on commerce
Of which Senator Frye Of Maine, the
president Of the senate, IS chairman
has shown its appreciation of the
Importance of applying the commerce
and navigation and seamen's laws
Of the United States to Porto Rice
and Hawaii, and placing the shipping
trade of those islands with the Uni
ted States on a coastwise footing as
speedily as possible by reporting IA
vorably to the senate bills for that
purpose This would seem TO mean
that these measures will have been
enacted into law early in the pr Asent
session.
1t is Interesting to recall that short
ly after our acquisition Of Porto Rico
the president issued an order ap-
plying the coastwise trade laws to
American bottoms. Lat"r, in the su-
gar season, this order was withdrawn
in order to facilitate trade, the ship
ping facilities of our own country be-
ing then regarded as insufficient. The
bill relating to Porto Rico, in addi-
ton TO applying the coastwise trade
laws to Porto Rico. permits all YES
sells owned by Porto Ricans 20 be
admitted to American registration.
There are only twenty-six Of these
vessels, most Of which are quite
small, ranging from twenty-five 10
one hundred and fifty tons. They
are useful only for trade around
Porto Rico, and would not be avail
able for trade between the island
and the United States.
1t is a significant fact that since
the acquisition Of Porto Rico about
million dollars has BEEN invested in
the United States for steamships for
the trade between the United States
and Porto Rico. When the Porto
Rico bill granting absolute free trade
between the United States and Porto
Rico is passed, and the shipping bill
alsc, there will be great incentive
to our merchant marine as well as
to our commerce with Porto Rico.
seyenty-fye per cent of the trade
between the United States and Ha-
wall is carried in American vessels,
there being an aggregate Of 29O766
tons of American steamships and
1O1,S54 Of freig1 vessels engaged in
thai trade. The Hawaiian bill, re-
ported fayorably by the commerce
committee applies the coastwfse
trade regulations to the United States
and admits to American registry
vessels flying the Hawaiian flag. This
same thing was done wnen we ac-
quired LouisiaSa and Alaska. Veg-
sells admitted to Hawaiian registra-
tion since the islands were annexed
are especially barred from American
registry by this bill This will dis
appoint a number Of foreign vessel
owners who secured the right from
Hawaii TO fly the Hawaiian flag
with the expectation that when laws
for the new territory were provided
they would be able to engage in the
coastwise trade by. securing American
registration. The Hawaiian fleet num-
bers some ffty-fve vessels, and in
cludes a number Of ocean steamships
as well as steamships plying between
the Hawaiian islands. and also some
