INCREASED TONNAGE.
Merchant Marine of the United States
Shows Remarkable Growth.

Washington, July 3.-The treasury
bureau of navigation states that during
the fiscal year 1900 the total tonnage of
officially mum bered vessels added to the
United States merchant marine amount
ed to 417,034 gross tons About $4,000
tons of Hawaiian vessels and less than
1000 tons of Porto Rican shipping were
admitted to American registry. 1t is
estimated that completed figures will
show that the actual additions to the
merchant fleet during 1900 have been
greater than any year since 1856. The
vessels built in the United States and
officially numb ered during the year ag-
gregated 3S1.725 gross tons. a record
surpassed in 1874. when 432. 725 gross
tons were built and documented. OF
the new vessels IS per cent are steam
vessels.
The most important additions of the
year have been the large steel vessels
built for the great lakes. The only YES
sci built exclusively for the foreign
trade has been the Maracaibo of III
gross tons for the Venezuelan traffic,
while three steamships of an aggre
gate tonnage of over 5000 tons for the
Porto Rican trade are first maritime
results of the annexa ton of that island
Full registration will probably show
that the total documented tonnage of
the United States on June 80, 1900, for
the first time since 1865 has again
mage registered for foreign trade, how
ever. will probably be slightly below
S4S 900 gross tons. the figures for June,
1899. The increase of the Alaskan trade,
carried on mainly by registered vessels
has checked somewhat during the year
the steady decline in American tonnage
registered for foreign trade.
