Want SHIPPING LAW
APPLIED TO PHILIPPINES

Washington, Dec. lI.-As a result
OF an urgent petition from the San
Francisco Chamber OF Commerce and
other commercial bodies and proml-
nent firms of that city to william Bun
ker, the representative OF the Cham
Der OF Commerce, asking that the
coastwise navigation laws be applied
to the Philippines as soon as possible
and not later than January /, 1903,
Sem or Perkins will introduce n bill
TO that effect. The bill will be similar
to that introduced when Hawaiian
commerce was involved.
In the House today Chairman
Payne OF the Ways and Means Com.
mittee speaking on that subject in the
Philippine tariff debate, said: 1--WE
have provided in the bal for extend
ing the cotstwise navigation laws to
the Philippines whenever American
ships are forthcoming to handle the
commerce that presents itself. We
hope the day is not far distant when
American firms will be sending goods
in ships flying the American flag tC
the Philippine Islands,"
1t is possible that the bill will be
amended in the Senate SO that the
navigation laws will be applied to the
islands at once. The Senate will take
up the measure as soon as Congress
assemblies.
Numerous kilograms and letters are
being received from the Pacific Coas
and elsewhere demanding that tho
coastwise laws be applied to the Isl
ands and there is no apparent objec
ton In Congress to applying them i
the demand is general.

GERMANY AND CANAL

New York. Dec. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
1t Is learned that Germany expects to
have something to say about the Mica
ragua canal because of the interests OF

sibly destroyed by its construction.
This interest has been obtained
through the purchase by the Hamburg
American Steamship Company of the
Atlas Steamship Company. The for
mer is German corporation and the
latter Is British. The Hamburg-Am-
erican Company is subsidized by tho
German Government and its ships can
be called upon for auxiliary cruisers OF
the German navy in time Of war.
Under the concession from Nicaragua
which the Hamburg American line has
acquired. it is asserted by foreign dip.
lomats here, exclusive navigation
rights of the San Juan river and OF
/ Lake Nicaragua are secured to the
| German company.
The history of the concession before
; 1t came into German hands dates be-
fore 1917.
A company organized under the
name of the Nicaragua Mail Steam
Navigation and Trading Company. ac'
quired the concession. Subsequent,
the Atlas Steamship Company, a Brit
ish Company, running a line of steam
ers from New York to Greytown ant
other ports in the Caribbean, bought
the steamers, plant and concession o.
the Nicaragua Company and applied
for an extension and enlargement o.
the contract. This was granted by Nj
caragua In June. 1897. and the con
tracts thus obtained were transferred
to the Caribbean and Pacific Transi
Company and auxiliary Of the Atla'
Company.
The contracts gave to the Alta
Steamship Company the exclusiv,
right of steam navigation in the Slac,
Lagoon for thirty years. dating from
the approval of the contract. on Sep
TENDER 80 1897. and the exclusive
right for the same time of construct
ing tramways and railways along TIL
line to avoid the obstacles in the lowe
part of the San Juan river, making tn
transit to San Juan Del Norte. or Grey
town, more rapid during the dry sea
son.
