THE GERMANS WELCOMED.
The Cruiser Vineta Given an Enthu-
siastic Reception on Her Ar
rival at New Orleans.

New Orleans. Jan. 25.-An enthusiastic
welcome was given to-day to the German
cruiser Vineta on her arrival before the
city. Throngs were gathered along che
river front as the ship swung around the
Point and steamed to her anchorage,
above Canal street and every whistle on
land and water on either side of the
river blew a shrieking greeting. Shortly
after the Vineta arrived Consul Won Mey-
senberg, representing the German nation
at this port, accompanied by a number
of friends, were taken out to the snip.
The consul was in full uniform and was
greeted when he reached the deck of the
cruiser by Capt. DeFonseca Wallheim and
his officers.
There was a formal exchange of cour-
tesies. Commander j. r. Selfridge of the
navy being i'll with the grip, Lieut.. f. L.

sizes of the navy to Capt Wallheim, his
officers and men. Lieut.. CandeZ was ac-
companied by Col. Arsene Perilliat of the

tainment of the German officers has been
considerably curtailed, owing to the death

tngtOn's Farewell Address I'm
scnate-ResoIutiOn by Mr.. Towne
Demanding Cessation of HOSTILE
ties, and Recognition of Philip
pine Independence.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Depew of
New York to-day delivered in the Senate
a enthusiastically forceful and eloquent
address in support of the shipping bill.
Mr.. Depew reviewed the couutry's first
century of development But we had al
lowed our merchant marine to remain un-
developed so that the tonnage of Amerl-
can vessels was greater in 1907 than in
1900. The often predicted general collision
among the great European powers in
their mad haste to outstrip each other
would, he said, act upon the United
States as an embargo on our coast as
complete as If the worlds navies were
blockading our ports.
All nations are agreed. he said that
their merchant marine can be built up
only by bounties The bounties paid last
year by the different maritime nations
were $4,000, 900 i'm round numbers against
100000 in round numbers by the United
States. German statesmen have discover
ed that if the empire is to find a market
for it's growing surplus it must have it's
own ships.
The building up of the industry meant
direct employment of 100000 men in ship
yards The present measure, he said,
was as fair a solution of the problem
as could now be developed. He con-
cluded:
with the construction of the Nieara-
qua canal which will be completed within
the next few years, the necessity for an
auxiliary fleet and q merchant marine be-
comes still greater. Whether we look at
this question as a matter of national
defense in time of war, or consider II IN
the solution of our Industrial problems, or
sum up the possibilities for the American
farm and factory and mine, the benefcent
influence of this measure becomes more
real"
Little progress was made with the In
dian appropriation bill. All unobjected

Mr.. Tewne of Minnesota offered a joint
resolution, demanding the immediate ces-
