Washington. March l4-Mr. J. ]. Hill,
Of the Great Northern railway, expects
to establish a shipyard of his own at
New London, Conn. where he proposes
to build the four big cargo steamers
that were designed for him in England
and win run between the terminus Of
the Great Northern railawy on Puget
sound aud the ports Of China, japan
and the Philippine islands. These ships
wiz be the largest in the world, with
the exception Of the new one recently
built for the Atlantic trade by the
Hamburg-American and White Star
lines. They viii be over 500 feet long.
20 feet broad, and have five decks capa-
bic of carrying 10000 tons Of cargo and
700 passengers They are not built for
speed. although they are expected TO
average IL knots an hour under ordin-
airy pressure and Is or 16 knots in an
emergency. The engines VIII develop
5000 horse power. Mr.. Hin expects to
commence two of the ships this spring
and have them completed within Is
months.
The above dispatch has lately ap-
peared in many of the inland non-tele-
graph papers Whether it was ever
sent out by the Associated Press or
other reputable news bureau, the AS
torian does not know. 1t is certain
no such dispatch was furnished the
Astorian by the Associated Press, nor
was it printed in the oregonian on its
alleged date. This does not OF course.
prove that the dispatch is untrue or
that 1t originated from an unreliable
source. The Astorian does not mean
to discredit the news it contains. On
the contrary, We have no doubt the re-
ported change in Mr.. Hills plans is
true, and that it signifies the happening
OF a coming event in which every pa
triotic American should be interested
and in the result of which he will have
cause TO rejoice. The determination Of
Mr.. Hill to found his own shipyard and
to build his own contemplated great
ships, instead of paying English me-
chanics and foreign producers of raw
material to do that work for him. as
was originally intended, can presage
but one thing 1t means that AIr. Hill
has received word by his underground
telegraph line that the American ship
subsidy bill will pass the republican
congress and become law of the land
This is indeed good news. especially for
the Columbia river With the help Of
the subsidy bill. others besides Mr.. Hill
may be induced to go into the Asiatic
trade. ANY new and independent line
OF Oriental steamers must start from
the Columbia river for two reasons
First. because it will be profitable to
operate such steamers from this point,

the nations nag to places where hither-
to il has been but name, Unless some
such assistance were given by the ma
tion there could not be trade carried
on at all to certain parts Of the world.
In Germany, not only the millionaires,
but also the people in general, are de-
termined to have a merchant navy, and
to build the ships in their own yards.
They carefully avoid the lead set by
France in the matter Of sailing ships,
but devote their most serious attention
TO steamers. The increase in valuable
shipbOilding plant in German yards has
versed on the marvellous. At the same
time the iron and steel industries are
attaining to greater proficiency owing
to the increased demand for shipbuild-
ing material, and the day is not far
distant when the merchant ships and
war vessels of Kaiser Wilhelm will be
fashioned at home OF material all
made In Germany Legislation and
by high authorities have
not done all under the head Of advance
in the numbers and tonnage Of German
ships Nevertheless no other country
has done so much for its shipbuIlders
and shipowners in order to foster a sat
isfaetory mercantile marine to compete
in the markets OF the world.

SUBSIDIES FOR GERMAN SHIPS.

SUBSIDIES tOR GERMAN SHIPS.
In the face of the examples furnished
by England and Germany of the bene-
fits of the subsidy plan in building up a
merchant marine, it is hard to see why
the bill now pending in congress to ex-
tend this form OF aid to our own ship
ping should meet with opposition, es-
pecially from republican quarters.
Every important country in the world
is making strenuous efforts to extend
It's commerce. Germany, in particular,
is making giant strides in shipbuilding
and is crowding England hard in GER
tain lines OF the deep sea carrying
trade. All this advance has resulted
from the granting Of liberal subsidies
and from no other primary cause. The
government spares not in any way, pro-
vided the brand-new steamships Of
German builders can find an opening
in the worlds trade. Patriotism of a
high order prevents the least murmur
even though the taxpayers experience
an increasing difficulty in meeting the
demands. When necessary, the en-
peror and the government readily come
forward with weighty words OF praise
and encouragement. In this way the
world az large is made fully acquainted
with the fact that Germany really has
mercantile marine worth mentioning,
ever eager to carry cargoes to every
part of the world for a consideration;
and, on these occasions, the speakers
take advantage of the opening afforded
them to indicate how earnestly their
Fatherland is pulling together to build
up a merchant navy deserving of the
name. When the new Deutschland, Of
the American line, was
launched at the Vulcan yard, not long
since, she was christened by Count Won
BuIow. His speech was proudly pa
triotic. and conveyed to the worlds
readers the information that Germany
viii spare neither expense nor trouble,
In order to obtain certain amount Of
mastery over the sea, in so far as a
merchant navy is concerned. Germany,
said the statesman, has long ceased to
be an inland country in the heart Of
Europe; she has become a world trade
power in the front rank Of competition,
and she does not intend to be either
disconnected or discouraged by the OBJ
stacles in her path. Within thirty
years Germany has increased the ton
mage Of her mercantile marine quite
fifteen fold. Up till very recently she
actually possessed the largest steam
ship afioat, now surpassed by the White
Star liner Oceanic; and she still holds
the blue ribbon for speed OF the
worl3's vessels exceeding 10000 tons,
Germany owns considerable number;
and the end is not yet. 1t may fairly
be said that to Prince Bismarck, the
then chancellor Of the German empire,
in 1851, may be attributed the new birth
of the German mercantile marine. Con-
sequent on a memorandum emanating
from that famous stateman subsidy
was provided for the North German
Lloyd Company. Subsidies, in the opin-
ion of some Of the contentionists
against our own subsidy bill, are grant
ed for the sole purpose Of passing into
the pockets of few miIlIonaires pos
ing as patriots. Nothing can be fur
ther from the truth. They help to start
a line OF vessels which would not other
wise come into being, and thus carry
