VIEWS OF 4 BRITISH SHIP OWNER.
THE ELEMENT OF DANGER N THE TRANSFER
OF THE LEYL-AND LINE.

OF THE IEYLAND LINE.
Liverpool. May 1G-At the meeting Of the
Liverpool Chamber Of Commerce to-day Alfred
Jones. president Of the Chamber. who is also
the head Of the firm of Elder. Dempster & Co,
said
II is much better for the Americans TO buy
ships here than TO build them for themselves,
and nobody blame Englishmen for accept
ing American dollars, but there is element
of great danger in this transfer, because il
means \ combination between the American
railways and sea carrying. We must realize
that The United States intend. so far as possible
TO make themselves the manufacturers for the
world The only way in which the British ship
owners may be hit Will be by bounties or other
preferential treatment, such as we in England
cannot hope for. Nevertheless. despite the ad-
Vantages enjoyed by some Of foreign rivals
/ am confident the British ship owner will be
able 20 hold his own.
Sir Courtenay Boyle, permanent secretary to
the Board Of Trade. who also spoke referred TO
the necessity Of alertness in meeting the

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS

Washington, Nov. 26.-The annual
report of Secretary Hitchcock of the
Interior Department has been made
public. The report highly indorses the
work and recommendation of Com
missioner Of Pensions Evans and says
that the veterans have no more sincere
friend than their commissioner, "who
has served ms an enlisted man in the
armies Of the United States, and he
but maintains and defends the honor
Of their patriotic service when refus-
Ing to ignore both the letter and spirit
Of the law, he declines to permit the
impOster, whether claimant or agent
to share in the bounty provided for the
veteran and those dependent upon
him."
The report indorses the conclusions
submitted by Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs Jones regarding the present In
dian education system. The secretary
says:
1.-The management of the Indian SER
vice In the field and schools, while sat
isfactory under existing conditions, is
not deemed to be the best for the well
fare Of the Indians, and different meth.
DDS will hereafter be adopted. This
policy contemplates requiring the work
Ing by Indian allottees able to do so of
n fair portion of lands allotted them
and the contributing by their industry
to their own support of all not entirely
disqualified by actual disability. phys
ical or otherwise. the discontinuance Of
the issue of rations to those able to
support themselves. and the extension
to the latter of every possible aid for
their well being and encouragement;

lished, so that such Indians OF both
sexes may be taught the trades or in

dustries adapted to their circum-
stances"
The income of the various Indian
tribes from all sources aggregated $5.-
3SS, $50 falling off of $260,952, mostly
due to the expiration Of treaty obliga-
tions. The curriculum Of Indian
SCHOOLS, the secretary says. should be
restricted to the common school course
and the further extension of non-reser-
vation schools not be permitted. In the
future full leasing privileges Will be
confined to those whose disability or
inability actually disqualities them
from working any part of their allot-
ments, and In n lesser degree to those
