from three and Ia. GU -..Vts an
hour. The increased draft was caused,
first, by reason o. d miscalculation OF the
weights of the materials and the amount
of displacement and, secondly, in conse-
quence of the additions and alterations
made in the plans after the contracts
we're entered into. Many of these alter
ations we're considered necessary from
the experience gained by the navy in the
attack made by the monitors and other
vessels upon the Confederate forts in the
harbor of Charleston. and were adopted
TO obviate defects which that enga geTSent
showed to exist in the monitors
When it was found that these vessels
were failures as originally designed and
constructed, Mr.. Sinners was removed
from the position he had held in relation
to them and they were placed in charge
of other officers and altered as recon-
mended by the commission appointed TO
examine them
Tho price of labor and materials re-
quire1 for the work and for which the
contractors had made provision during
the time OF the contract rapidly advanced
so that as found by the Committee On
Naval Affairs of the Senate during the
first session OF the Thirty ninth Congress,
iron. that at the date of the contra II was
worth 500 a ton advanced during the pro-
longed time TO 1920 q ton, and labor from
s1.20 TO 50 a day.
A bill referring the Shawnee claim TO
the Court of Claims was passed by Con-
gress at the second session of the Forty
ninth Congress, but was vetoed by Presi-
dent Grant because OF the omission from
the bill of these words "and then only
when such advance could not have been
avoided by the exercise of ordinary pru-
dence and diligence"

Comparing this classification with
Llcyd's statements of ownership c: the
vessels scheduled. We find that the Inter
national Navigation Company alone will
receive the total full subsidies paid for
ships of above seventeen knots speed. Or.
If we take the whole list, group accord
ing to ownership the vessels that are
eligible to full subsidy rates, and then take
Mr.. Chamberlain's own figures as to the
yearly subsidy that each would draw even
if it made no more trips with subsidy
than it did in 1899 without subsidy. We
find that about nine-tenths OF all full sub
sidy in the near future would be drawn
by just four OF the patriotic subsidy beg
gars who are behind this bill, viz:

1T is seen that Just four shipyards and
seven ship owners are interested. OF
these, one, the Great Northern Steamship
Company, speaking by its president, Mr..
Hill. regulates all need for subsidy, de-
MES the propriety OF any on the plan pro-
posed by this bill. says he ordered these
ships in America because they could be
built here more cheaply than abroad; and
that if the iron and steel trusts would let
up on the price they charge Americans for
steel plates it would help shipbuilding
more than subsidy.
1--WE can build ships in this country
says Mr.. Hill, as well and as cheaply as
they can be built anywhere in the world.
Now had figures within the last year
furnished from the best builders on the
Clyde and figures from as good builders
as there are in this country, and to my
utter amazement the American figures on
a single ship were $4,000 to 100000 IN
der the best Clyde builders.
- The subsidy scheme is an excellent
thing if it is not abused. l believe that
if we could pay a tonnage on the actual
commodities of a certain kind based on
the distance carried there would be some
justice in a subsidy. l analysed carefully
the first bill that was drawn and found
that out of $4,000, coo about $4,000 Geo went

Taking the statement in this regard fur

States Commissioner of Navigation we

vestigation from which it appears that of
American citizens eligible to receive
one-half rate subsidy under this bill in
respect of foreign built ships owned by
them there we're the following with sub

THE MONITOR CLAIMS.
A Favorable Report on the Shawnee
Bill Presented to the House.

The Committee on War Claims has pre-
scented TO the House of Representatives a
favorable report on the bill referring TO
the Court of Claims the claim of the
builders of the monitor Shawnee The
monitor claims have been before Congress
for many years. Curtis & Tilden agreed
with John Lenthall, Chief of the Bureau
of Construction and Repair acting for the
Navy Department, to construct within
eight months from April 2, 1868, light
draft monitor called the Shawnee, for
1886, 000; $4,000 to be deducted for every
month they delayed completion, and
$500 TO be added for every month they
anticipated the contract period. The yes
sci was not completed until July %, 1865.
This Shawnee was one of the class of
twenty vessels known as the light-draft
monitors contracted for in the spring and
summer of 1863.
ife Navy Department had established
what was in effect a bureau for the con-
struction of these vessels in New York
City, and had placed Alban c. Sinners at
its head, with a large corps of assistant
engineers, craftsmen. etc. The whole
WORT hulls and machinery, was entirely
in his hands.
The selection of Mr.. Sinners was wholly
the act of G. V. Fox then the Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, who had unbound
ed confidence in MIR. Sinners abilities In
making the appointment MIR. Fox did not
consult either of the mechanical bureaus
of the Navy Department, nor we're Mr..
sinners plans ever submitted to them
The result was a most disastrous failure
The Navy Department, becoming dis
couragfed by the slow progress of the yes
sells by means of night and Sunday work
and abstentions from further modlfca-
tons, pressed to completion the Chino.
which was the most advanced In June
1864, the joint committee on the conduct
of the war commenced a thorough investi-
CATION of the progress of these vessels
and whether the others were similar TO
the Chino. The enquiry continued until
the spring of 1865.
In May. 1864. the first of these vessels,
the Chino, built by Aquila Adams, was
launched at Boston. She was found to be
a failure SO far as the original design was
concerned, of a light-draft river monitor.
All these vessels having been designed
upon the same plan, further work was at
once suspended upon them. A commits
sion was appointed on the 18th of June
1854, to examine them and to recommend
what should be done with them to remedy
their defects. The commission reported
on the 9th of July, 1864. recommending
that five of the vessels should be changed
into torpedo boats by removing the tur-
rets, etc, in order TO tighten their draft.
and that the other fifteen should be
changed by building up their sides TWEEN
ty-two inches, increasing their draft, but
rendering them more seryiceable as mon
itOrs. That recommendation was adopted
by the department and the proposed
changes were carried out

less, excepting that the minimum rate
from Chicago to any North Dakota point
is S11.50.
