AMERICAN sArpsuILDIsc-

The record Of shipbuilding in the
United states for 1901. as summarized
n. THE Blue Book of American Ship
ping continues TO show great activity
in the construction Of vessels for
coastwise trade. This Is the carry
ing trade. II Is ever necessary TO re-
mind the Iayman and the landnan,
that enjoys absolute protection. Al
most every yard building steel vessels
has work ahead, to its full capacity,
for a year to come. There Is now
building for the United States navy
the impressive total Of sixty-one war
ships, representing a displacement OF
2ss. 1ss tons. 5e7.s20 horse power and
costing, for machinery and bulls alone
$50 .s54.1is. In addition. Congress has
authorized the construction OF two bat
tleshlps and two armored cruisers.
plans for which win be submitted at
its next session. II is this naval con-
struction, in addition to the building
Of vessels for coastwise trade that ex-
plains the activity Of American ship
yards.
II is due TO confidence that Con-
gress win pass during the coming
winter a bill for the encouragement of
the American merchant marine that
has caused a few orders to be placed
for vessels for the carrying trade be-
tween our own and foreign ports. In
this enterprise the Atlantic Transport
line shows It's courage by placing
contracts for six steamers for trans.
Atlantic service. to cost s1,25o.00O
each. A new organization. the Boston
Steamship Company. has ordered two
vessels for foreign trade; while two
steamers, each about as large as the
Celtic. the largest liner afioat. are on
the ways for service on the Pacific.
It Is probable that this confidence
IL favorable action by Congress- Is
warranted. The new shipping bill will
be prepared with great care by those
who are to meet Senator Frye. chair

SETTER THAN THE CORN cRoF
Vast Possibilities Of the Beet Sugar
Industry.


From the Chicago Post
u corn the best crop for such states
as Kansas. Nebraska and Illinois to
cultivate most extensively. The ques-
ton has been forced upon the atten-
ton of the agriculturists by the pro-
longed period of drouth 10 which the
district known as the corn belt has
been subjected, and from which the
crop has suffered enormously so that
q negative reply thereto Is being un
willingly forced from many who have
heretofore relied on corn as the chief
source of their income. The corn crop
Is subject to periodic failures. the re-
currence Of which every ak or seven
years has always been attended with
severe loss, amounting in many In.
stances to disaster, so that IL a
suitable substitute could be found for

slacrity.
But is there any substitute? An
Affirmative answer to This question
may be found in g special report
which has recently been submitted
to the Department of Agriculture by
a special agent appointed to invest
gate the beet sugar industry OF the
United States and the possibilities OF
it's development. The sugar beet, II
| Is well known, delights In just such
soil as is to be found In the three
states named, and in the continued
sunshine to which they were subject
ed throughout the month Of July
There are no limits to the possibilities
of development in the sugan beet
industry. and the cultivation of II
much more extensively than has YET
been thought of would in all prob
ability result in the enrichment of al
concerned.
As an inducement to the pursuit
LOT the industry the report in ques
ton points out the rapid increase
In the consumption Of sugar in this
country and the probability that thk
increase will continue at an acceler
ated rate for years to come. For the
fiscal year which ended June 80 last
| the sugar imports amounted to near
~ 1000. 900 tons, and for generations
TO come the American people mus
rely largely upon foreign products fol
their supplies. II is gratifying to know
that the report in question credits I'LL
nois with being ahead Of all the othel
states as producer OF beet sugar. Il

POLICY OF ROOSEVELT
PLEASES THE RUSSIANS
(Ry Associated Press.)

Odessa, Sept. 2S.-The program which
President Roosevelt has sketched out
is the subject of comment in the leading
papers of Russia.
The declaration of the president that
he will follow the policy of his prede-
cessor is thought likely 10 satisfy the
foreign powers generally.
The Russian organs are particularly
pleased with the announcement in re-
gard to tariff questions.
The majority are also pleased at the
prospect of a renewal of the good rela-
lions which existed between the United
States xnd Russia previous to the tar
if dispute.
Mr.. Roosevelt's hint of his own desires
as to reciprocity and his declaration in
favor of terminating tariff wars and oil
the abolition of duties not absolutely es-
sential to the Golfers of the republic are
regarded i'm Russia as of the greatest i'm
portance.
1t is believed at st. Petersburg that he
had the Russo-American tariff question
in mind.

LIVELY DISPUTE IN THE oep
n
AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT
(By Associated Press,)

Melbourne, Sept. 2S.-In the course of
a debate in the commonwealth partial
ment Mr.. Barton, the premier, pro-
duced dispatch from the Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, colonial secretary,
to Lord Hopetoun, governor general,
expressing the hope that the common
wealth would join the home govern
ment in deprecating legislation such as
the sugar works bill which the imperial
authorities vetoed early in the summer
Mr.. Barton stated that the Austria
liam mission has promised Mr.. Chant
berlain that this would be it's attitude.
An eXtendd debate followed, IN which
the promise of the Australian cabinet
was denounced as unconstitutional and
it was declared to be improper that the
homegovernmen should be Informed
of the policy of the ministry before the
Australian parliament
The opposition favors the restriction
of the immigration of blacks and has
secured the support of the labor party
for it's attitude. The ministry is bid
ding for the support of the labor party
for it's tariff proposals.
It is expected that before the tariff
question comes up a bill will be intro
duced abolishing Kanaka labor for five
years.

ROOSEVELT A CHAMPION
OF COMMERCIAL PEACE
(By Associated PreSs.)

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-The Novoe
Vremya in a recent editorial said, con-
corning American matters:
In the complete absence Of grounds
for antagonism between our interests
and those of tn arns-Atlantic republic.
the imposition of prohibitive duties on
our sugar, which called for reprisals on
our side, in connection with a certain
paragraph in the American Jaws, came
as a regrettable and altogethr unex-
pected episode in the history Of Russo
American relations.
1T Is true that this episode was not
sufficiently serious in itself to iterfere
with the spirit Of hearty agreement
which has SO long prevailed between St.
Petersburg and Washington.
None the less, 1t is impossible not to
welcom the determination arrived at
by Mr.. Roosevelt, who has found it ex-
pedient during the very first months of
his tenure of office to give expression to
the desirability of clearing away the
solitary obstacle which lies across the
path of Russo-Amercan political and
economic relations"
The NOvOe Vremya regards President
Roosevelt's announcement as more than
personal opinion. 1t halls him as
champion if peace whose desire to re-
move all cause for misunderstanding
will be responded to most sympathetic
cally by Russia.

WEAKNESS OF MARKETS
HELPS THE BANKERS
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 2S.-Heavy liquidation
has been effected in the stock market
during the week and some violent de-
clines caused.
The collapse in Amalgamated Copper
has caused large realizing elsewhere, es-
pecially by speculative pools which have
counted upon continued support of the
market.
The abandonment of support by the
financial powers seems to be due to a
decision to postpone some important
financial projects for which a firm stock
market was desirable, and to an unwill-
ingness or inability to require gold from
abroad to offset the interior demans.
The liquidation in the stock market
has sensibly relieved the market and
STRENGTHENED the banking situation.
