EMPEROR WILLIAM ATTACKED
BY A WOMAN ASSASSIN

Breslau, Nov. II. Emperor William
was the object of an attempted out
rage to-day, which, however, failed. As
he was driving In an open carriage to
the Cuirassier barracks, accompanied
by the hereditary prince OF Saxe-Mein-
niger, q woman In the crowd hurled an
axe at the carriage. The rapidity with
which the vehicle was passing saved
its occupants.
The woman was Immediately arrest
ed. Her name is Selma schnapke. She
occupied place In the front rank Of
the spectators on the side furthest
from the Emperor.
The axe, 1t now appears, struck the
carriage. A crowd of people who wit
messed the outrage threw themselves
on her. but the prompt Intervention of
the police saved the woman from In
Jury.
The assailant is tradeswoman of
Breslau. 1t is snId she threw the
Ratchet because she wns turned cut of
her house by her landlord A provis-
ional medical examination Of the pris-
oner has been made and she has been
pronounced insane
While Emperor William was return
ing from the barracks to the railroad
station he was cheered BY immense
crowds Of peopss gathered aaang The
route. ~
Berlin, Nov. 17.-Accoryling to most
reports, Emperor William did not mo-
tice the incident, hut Breslau paper
says he saw what had happened and
turned very pale, but continued to
greet the bystanders pleasantly.
According to special to the I.okal

@. A. R. Special Rate Refused.
Denver, Colo, Nov. 1.-THE Western
Passenger Association, at Its meeting
In Chicago yesterday, refused to an-
thorize rate Of l cent per mile for the
G. A. r. encampment scheduled to be
held in Denver next August. This de-
cision does not necessarily mean that
the encampment will be taken from
Denver, although Cleveland Is work
Ing to secure 1t.
The same question will come up be-
fore the Transcontinental Passenger
association at It's meeting in St Louis
within few days.
Denver was selected as the place for
the encampment next August at the
meeting in Chicago following the en-
campment this year. The special COM
mittee recommended that rate of /
cent mile be made by the railroads.
George II. Heafford, then general pas
senger agent of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul, combatted the 1 cent
per mile proposition. Cleveland took
advantage OF this to urge its claim for
the encampment and the delegation Of
the Ohio town has kept the subject
stirred up and had u delegation in COM
mittee In Chicago to appear before the
Western Passenger Association and
combat the / cent mile scheme.

only nine of the 1000 ton class, owned
by the International Navigation Com
pany, are American.
1t 10 estimated that during 1859 the
gross earnings Of steam and sail vse-
sells in the foreign carrying trades Of
all nations amounted to 500, 100000.
The export trade of the United States
requires about twenty per cent. Of the
worlds aggregate tonnage Of the
steamships.
The problem Of ocean transportation
at this time, the report says, 10 sasen-
TALLY one Of transportation By steal

which wooden fore and aft vessels and
steel square rugged vessels are adaSt.
ed are important, but restricted. To
Sues canal reduced opportunities ter
sail vessels and the Nicaragua canal,
1t is said, will further reduce them.
In the past ten years Great Britain
has built 4,23S steel steamers u e.
987, 600 tons. while the United GtAteD
has built 1876 steel steam vesseao -

output of 100000 tons during 10oo.
We have built for the foreign txaAa
since 1900 only twenty-four steel
steamships of $4,000 tons. and Of ibis
total eleven steamships Of 5000 tens
were built as mail steamers, under the
postal subsidy acts.
Comparisons are made with foesign
subsidies to fast steamships, which a.
gregate $2O,O0O,OOO annually, and The
report holds that the subsidies pru-
posed for similar American steamships
are not more than adequate to beeur0
American ocean mail lines to the great
continents equivalent to those Of Great
Britain, Germany and Franco In the
past sixty years Great Britain and her
colonies have spent over $240 000, 900
for British ocean mail steamahips.
On the basis of foreign voyages actu-
ally made by American vessels aggrs-
eating 100000 gross tons, during the
year 1899, the report says the expsnd1-
would have been $2,9O7, 900, and undAp
estimates show that, with the Addition
al shipping eligible, the cost during tie
first year Of the bills operation WoulA
be about $4,5OO,OOO. The maximum Of
50. O0O, 600, it is said, probably would b.
attained during 19O4-5, when reduc-
ton of subsidy rates would b nscss-
sary. BY that time the building Of
100000 tons of ocean steamships and
the necessary increase In number and
extent Of our shipyards, the report, D.
clares, would have materially reduced
the cost Of shipbullding In the Unitsd
States. compared with Great Britain
and Germany. Under the bin, In i've
years, American steamships in foreagn
