IN FAVORED
Senate Committee on Com
merCO Agrees on Report
Democratic Opposition Iain-LeaderS
Contend Annual Deficit Will Fol-
low Under New System

Washington. Jan. 1S.-The senate \
committee on commerce yesterday au-
thorized a favorable report on Senator
Frye's ship subsidy bill. The report
will be made by Senator Frye. The
Democratic members of the commit /
tee voted against reporting the bill.
They also voted solidly for a motion
offered by Senator Mallory to strike
out the general subsidy provision of
the bill The committee made several
amendments TO the bill. The most
important were: Allowing mail carry
ing vessels under the bill to be either
iron or steel instead OF steel only. as
originally provided, and another re-
ducing TO 1000 gross registered tons
the vessels receiving "A bounty under
tho bill.
Tho report says that the purpose
OF the bill is 10 establish the mari
time supremacy of tho United States
in trade with Asia and in the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean Sea; TO es
tablish securely trade between the
United States and South America,
and to give tho United States a re-
spectacle representation on the North
Atlantic. The claim IS made that all
these results will be accomplished
within ten years. The report also as
serts that the bill will SO extend ship
building as TO transfer in time from
abroad to the United States the center
Of that Industry as the centre of
other Industries recently have been
transferred, and also that it will give
TO the United States a measure of
maritime independence.
Senator Frye gives a summary of
the bill in part as follows "The cost
of American service will be s4.7O0, 900.
Receipts from ocean postage by the
United States are now estimated at
s3,OO0.OO0. The annual deficit under
the new American system proposed.
including minor services, will be
about s2,oOO,OOO.
III an American shipowner will
build his vessel in the United States,
employing home labor employing
American officers and crews, perform
ing certain services for the American
government and using the vessel to
promote American commerce. he will
be paid a subsidy sufficient to put
him on an equality with the foreign
shipowner, employing foreign labor
and serving a foreign government
"The average cost of building ocean
steamers. mainly for cargo. is s102
per ton in the United States and s76
in Great Britain. Average monthly
wages on ocean steamers. mainly for
cargo are: American. $780, British.
s26; German and scandinavian, SIT.
The general subsidies proposed equal
ize American and foreign costs on
these bases.
"Based on actual navigation OF
American vessels in foreign trade in
1900. the subsidies proposed would
amount to s1.O72.0O0. divided as fol-
lows: Steam (exoluding mail vessels)
S559,O00. sail. $513,00O Geographi-
cally; Atlantic ocean, $444.OO0; Pa
cihc ocean, s467O00; square rugged
ships on both oceans, s161,00O."

nearly a mile to the North Union sta
ton, near the Charles river at the
northern boundary of the old city sur
face cars entering from either direction
make a loop and return, the through
tracks being used only by the elevated

which is ventilated by frequent though
unobtruslve openings and is well hght-

~ a round tube and at others Just a
rectangular passageway built Of steel
and brick AT the stations, however
the walls are lined with white tiles,
which reflect the light Of many lamps
and help give the underground waiting
rooms their cheerful appearance.
As electricity is the sole motive power
throughout the system, the service In
the subway and on the elevated track
alike Is smokeless and dustless The
entrances to the subway statons-iive
in all-are generally through small
granite buildings with glass roofs, the
Park street station, for example, hav-
ing four OF these little houses for its
separate entrances and exits. The
treatment Of each station is entirely
different. At the Boylston street sta
ton. for instance, besides the sub-sub-
way for trains there is subpassage-
way connecting the northbound and
southbound platforms. Curiously
enough the Park street station, busy as
Il Is at almost every hour Of the day or
evening Is one of the smallest of all in
platform capacity having only 1917
square feet Of available space, Every
possible device, Of course, Is used to

as little friction as possible the great
throngs crowding into it, During the
busiest hours, for example, electric in
dicators are used 10 designate by means
OF Illuminated figures at which berth
the next car for certain route will
stop. making II unnecessary for pas
sengers to crowd to the edge of the
platform to watch for particular car
