Vessels Which Would Be Affected by
the Subsidy Bill.
REPORT BY COMMISSIONER
His Statement Shows Thnt There Are
over Twenty-three Thousand
Merchant Ships Flying the
Stars and Stripes.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The secretary OF
the treasury has made reply to the reso-
luton of the senate of the 18th inst. con-
cerning the shipping of the country as
affected by the ship subsidy bill by send
ing in report from the commissioner of
navigation.
The statement includes a complete list
of the merchant vessels of the United
States. of which it is stated there are
q, 1888 in number. or these 1880, aggre-
eating q gross tonnage of S26,694 tons,
are registered for the foreign trade, while
the vessels licensed for the coasting trade
number %, ,003, Of 4,33S, 145 gross tons.
The commissioner says there is no legal
obstacle to any of these coastwise vessels
Of more than 30 tons entering the foreign
trade. but that the length of canal locks
would prevent many of the larger OF the
vessels OF the great lakes from pass
ing to the sea. For this and other rea-
sons he finds II impracticable to state the
number of coasting vessels liable to be
registered for the foreign trade under the
shipping bill The number Of American
vessels in the foreign trade eligible to
subsidies Under the bill is placed at 1881,
Of which 964 are sailing vessels.
| The commissioner says it is not practi-
cable to say whether all these vessels
have complied with the requirements that
would entitle them to subsidies and adds:
Sin so far as there may have been in the
case of any voyage of any vessel failure
| to comply with any of the requirements
Of the bill the total $2,906,991 exceeds
| what actual subsidies would have been if
the bill had been law"
Would Reduce subsidiea.
1t is also stated by the commissioner
! that the amendment of the bill relating to
the additional subsidies to be paid to ~
and 81 knot vessels will have the effect of
reducing the subsidies payable on voy-
ages OF the st. Louis, st. Paul, Paris
and New York included In the tabulation
by the sum OF $221, ,10e.
He also states that the number Of YES
sells affected by the senate amendments
concerning vessels carrying cargo part OF
which is coastwise and part foreign is
small The provision applies to vessels
plying from New York 10 Colon, Pana
ma to San Francisco and from Paeiii,
ports to foreign ports via Honolulu.
The commissioner states that 1t is i'm
practicable to ascertain the full extent t
which American capital may be invested
in steamships under foreign flags to tn
extent of owning a majority interest
! With reference TO the portion OF the in
guiry which relates TO foreign ships reg

A BUsHEL CRATE.

Stats project over the ends Of the end
Stats the outside measurement will
be twelve and a half by seventeen
inches, instead of twelve by seventeen
and a half inches. One might think
that one-half inch would not make any
difference, but it does, In just this
way: A crate tw Ave by seventeen and
a half inches wGfks to advantage in q
wagon box, while twelve and q half
by seventeen works to a disadvantage.
Three or four neighbors can decide on
the number of crates they want, and
then give their order to some local
planning mill and get the material cut
ready for mailing at a fraction of what
It would cost for each n to place his
order. 1t is better than employing q
carpenter. as the pieces must be ex-
actly the same length-a difficult thing
to accomplish when the cutting IS
done by hand.
The wagon illustrated is loaded with
boxes of potatoes ready for market.
You will notice that l have not only
crates for potatoes. but a rack for the
crates. This rack holds just ifty-two
crates. They are placed two deep and
three side by side, except the end tier
of crates, which are placed with the
long dimensions parallel with the long
dimension of the wagon. Each layer
will then hold tw~enty-six bushels Of
potatoes by weight without rounding
