Misrepresenting Shipping Bill,

The Chicago Tribune, q few--Yery few
other Republican papers of free trade
tendencies. and all OF the influential
Democratic papers are opposed to the
shipping bill now being considered by
the senate, because It applies the pro-
tective tariff principle to the ship
building and carrying trade OF the coun-
try. This Is the true nnmus OF their
objection to It, nothing more; but their
method Of lighting the measure Is who'll
ly reprehensiblc and thoroughly dis
honest. The latest effort OF the Chica-
go Tribune 10 discredit the measure ls
the exploitation OF 4 speech delivered by
James ]. Hill, president OF the Great
Northern railroad. In which he makes
some remarkably untruthful state
ments or else he is reported Incorrectly
by the Tribune. gs
The Philadelphia Press, In taking up
tho cudgels for the shipping bill. after
quoting the Tribune's report OF Hills
speech in which that gentleman Is made
to say that "thc first bill that was
drawn which was the one introduced In
the last Congress by Mr. Payne and Mr..
Hanna, provided for O payment OF So
100000 "out Of which about $500, 900
went to what 10 known as the American
line" remarks that 1T Is impossible
that Mr.. Hill could have made any such
monstrous Misrepresentation OF that
bill. The utmost the American line
could have possibly obtained under It
would have been sL247.ls9. aud II Its
ships made tho name number OF voy-
ages It would get nearly that much un-
der the existing postal subsidy bill. AS
now amended that line will get consld-
erably less under the bill. What Is the
exIgency that leads 10 the circulation
over all the country OF such n false
hood This attempt to make It appear
that The fis; steamships are going to
absorb tie compensation provided for
under the bill, when tho bill Itself limits
the payments TO vessels OF twenty knots

The canteen in the Senate.

The army reorganization bill is now
being considered by the senate military
committee. and they arc hearing argu-
ments pro and con on the Littlefield
amendment passed by the house forbid
ding the sale OF all liquors at army
posts. Tho house in adopting the
amendment was hypocrit!cal. 1t want
ed to please the galleries crowded with
members Of the national convention of
the Women's Temperance Union. then
in sesslonat Washington, but those who
voted for the amendment knew It would
strike snag In the more deliberative
body Of the senate. and 1t appears that
their anticipation has been verified.
At the hearing before the SENATE COM
mittee. 4 post chaplain, Rev. Miller,
gave strong testimony In favor OF the
retention Of the canteen, and all who
were heard in opposition were prohibit
tionists who opposed the sale OF beer
or wine on military reservations for
the simple reason that they were unal-
terably opposed to their sale anywhere
under any conditions.
Commenting on these circumstances
the New York Journal OF Commerce
very logically remarks: These prohl-
b.tionists really had no place at the
hearing. Il is possible. that Chaplain
Miller did not approve OF selling beer,
but the only question was whether SOL
diers should get beer Mt their post, or
whisky in i saloon outside OF the mill
tary reservation, and OF the two Mr..
Miller preferred the former. Mr.. Crofts
and Mrs. Thatcher and the other per-
sons who opposed the canteen refuse
to look at the matter in this practical
aspect. and believing that the sale OF
beer Is wicked. they protest against Its
sale in one place without regard to Its
sale elsewhere. Nothing Is clearer. than
the testimony Of officers that the SOL
diers suffer less from the restricted sale
OF mild alcoholic drinks at military
post than from the unrestricted sale Of
spirits of every sort on private proper
ty,"

able Misrepresentation.
2 Turning to the account OF Mr.. Hills
speech printed in the Chicago Tribune
Of Sunday, We flnd evidence Of this mis-
representation In tho account sent over
the country. Tho Tribune Is opposed to
the shipping bill. Its report credits Mr..
Hill rs saying: y
e His address. as tho speaker of the
evening, was q plea for commercial ex-
pansion. He urged that new markets
must be found for American products
and that the United States should reach
out to the markets fSthe Orient. There
Is no other place in the world, he as
serted, where the United States can.
seek new trading places with more GER
tainty OF finding them. The link that
is needed he added. is q ship that will.
curry q big cargo for little money
He urged the American people to
seek the new markets for their pro-
ducts by building UP merchant marine
that shall be as strong as the, American
land transportation system. siS
"Alr. Hill was one OF the men who
gave his applause 10 a resolution adopt.
ed by the club, on a rising vote, calling
on President Mckinley to reappoint
Lyman ]. Gage to the secretaryship OF
the treasury In the new cabinet soon to
be formed"
Z And Lyman J. Gage, In his annual re-
port sent to Congress a few days aso,
specifically recommended the passage
Of the shipping bill In these words: "a
bill for the promotion OF American COM
merce and for the creation Of an Amer
lean merchant marine In foreign trade,
which shall be worthy of the nation,
now awaits the action OF both branches
OF Congress. 1t conforms In principle
and general outlines to recommended
lions upon the subject In my reports for
1898 and 1899. Early consideration OF
that measure Is recommended" That
Is the same Lyman J. Gage whom Mr..
Hill asks to have retained in office. The
Chicago Times-Herald, in its report Of
Mr.. Hills speech. represents him as
saying: THE proposed ship subsidy
bill will be an excellent thing. II 1t is
not abused" Yes, it will be au excel
lent thing. But we fear Mr.. Hill is
either good deal mixed on the subject
or he has been grossly misrepreserted."

KRUGER'S POSITION.
1t is Outlined by His Represen-
tatiVe, Montague White.

Washington, Jan. 26-Mr. Montague
White, the South African diplomat now
in this country, today authorized the
following statement:
1.-The impression that is said to exist
in certain quarters that DR.. Leyds is
not recognized by foreign powers as the
diplomatic minister of the South At
rican republic on account of Great Brit
aims claim to suzerainty is false. DR..
Leyds is credited to and fully recog-
nized as minister nenipotentiary of the
South African republic by the follow
ing powers: Russia, Germany, France,
Holland, Belgium and Portugal. The
South African republic was represented
at different courts in Europe and on
the continent for many years past by
DR.. Ieyd'S predecessor, the late Jonk-
heer Beelaerts Won Blockland, who had
also been indirectly recognized by
Great Britain.
1.-The suzerainty was created by the
convention of 1881, but was abolished
by the convention of 1884. In 1897 it
was suddenly revived by Mr.. Chamber
lain. The government of the South At
rican republic StrenuOuSly repudiated
the claim and they have been supported
in this by every international lawyer
of note on the continent, as well as by
such eminent authorities as President
Wesley, Sir Edward Clark and Sir Will
liam Harcourt, in. Great Britain. The
international status of the South Afri-
can republic is moreover recognized by
Great Britain as the following extract
from the officially quoted letter of Lord
Derby, dated February Is. 1884, will
shows
Your government will be left free
to govern the country without inter
ference and to conduct its diplomatic
intercourse and shape its foreign pol
icy subject only to the requirements
embodied in the fourth article of the
new treaty, namely, that any treaty
with any foreign state shall not be
effective without the approval Of the
queen"

CREW KILLED AND EATEN.
Fate of Party Visiting the Admiralty
Islands

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 26.-Details have
been received of the killing of the cap
tain and crew of the schooner Nika-
mara on one of the islands of the Ad-
miralty group by the natives who are
cannibals. 1t is said that all of the
victims were eaten.
The Nikamarra was owned by E. E.
Forsythe, and had left New Britain
early in October on her trading cruise
to the Admiralty. On arrival there
she was boarded by a number of the
natives, with whom Capt. Dalthe was
unsuspectingly doing business, when he
was set upon by his treacherous Gus
toners and killed. his fate being shared
by the mate and six New Ireland ma
tives, all of whom were cut and hacked
with knives and tomahawks. The ma
tives then plundered the vessel. Moth
ing was known of the killing until
some time afterward, when Mr.. For
sythe arrived on the scene with his
other schooner, the Niagara. He was
accompanied by MessrS. Bullock and
Doudney, and they too were set upon
by the natives from ambush as the
white men rowed shorewards, using the
rifles taken from the Nikanlarra- Bull
lock was badly wounded with a shot
through the thigh, but the party re-
gained the Niagara, which with her gas
engine reached open water.
