SUBSIDIES ARE GOOD
When Paid by the Other Countries L
the British View.

London, July 3.-The committee of the
house of commons appointed to inquire
into the question of subsidies today heard
William J. Pirrie, chairman OF the Har-
land & Violin Shipbuilding company. This
witness. who figured so prominently in the
recent ]. Pierpont Morgan ship combina-
ton, expressed the opinion that subsidies
were given merely as bounty and serve
to encourage fnefficiency and that even
where they could be legitimately bestowed
the tendency of subsidies would be to foS-
ter individual as against general interests.
blessing in disguise, as they stimulated
British ship owners to keep more abreast
of the times
Replying to a question of the chair
man, Mr.. Pirrie said the Morgan combine
which he proposed to call community OF
mercial purposes and on entirely strictly
business principles He was convinced that
dangerous international situation was
rapidly approaching at the time the deal
was effected, but by the creation of this
community of interests the future of the
building, was assured. In short, Mr. Pirr1e
considered the deal to be in every way sat
isfactory to the British. Giving subsidies
would only invite retaliation In the most
important markets of the world. The ex-
tent of state assistance to German ship
Mr. Pfrrie also said that the feeilng
against the combine was due to mfsap-
prehension. All they had been doing was
to act on the advice of the Prince OF
up" Mr. Pirrie thought that the best
way for the government to help British
shipping was to deepen the approaches to
and otherwise improve the chief ports

posits as security for circulation of S.
OH, $50. Organizations effected under the
act of March Ii, 1900, i. E., with capital
stock of less than $4,000, in a large ma
jority Of cases the capital being $4,000,
number 273 with authorized capital
stock of 81 PAT 900, the average capital
of these ASSOCIATIONS being approx
mately $780, $40 Included in the total
number Of organizations, are 1874 banks
with total capital of $23, 16o. 900, the indi-
vfdual capital ranging upward from a
minimum of $4,000
In connection with the foregoing it
may be stated that since the passage Of
the act of March IA. 1900 there have
been organized 1,061 banks. with aggre-
gate capital of S62, 349, 600 and with bond

dation. Since the establishment of the
system there have been organized 6,325

CLOSED THE HOTELS.
Effect of Prohibition Order in Tutuila,
Samoa.

Washington, July 3.-William Black
lock, United States vice consul and
fiscal agent at Apia and Tutuila, Samoa,
has arrived in the city to lay before
the proper officials statement of con-
ditions in Tutuila and series Of sug-
gested amendm~ nts to the present
scheme of government of the Islands
which experience has demonstrated to
be necessary. 1t is thought to be de-
sirable that the present system of alb
6olutely naval control over the entire
island be modified so as to limit the
naval commandant in the exercise OF
his purely naval functions to the naval
station proper, leaving him to exercise
the functions Of q civil governor in
the remainder of the island. 1t is also
deemed well to afford the white natives
and the few white civilians some sort
of representation in the conduct of local
affairs through the creation of an adj
visory council to the governor A wider
discretionary power is also asked for the
governor. By singular omission the
natives never have received any ac-
acknowledgement from the United States
government of their voluntary submits
sion to our sovereignty, and Mr.. Black
lock believes that, to retain their good
WILL this should be remedied. But the
crying need Of Tutuila according to Mr.
Blackjack is a modification of the pres
ent naval order touching the supply OF
refreshments to visitors on the island.
The Oceanic line of steamships having
dropped Apia for Tutuila as point or
call. many tourists and business agents
were coming to the latter place and
the trade of the island was rapidly de-
veloping, in some measure at the ex-
pense Of German Samoa, when all this
was checked by a naval order prohibit
ing absolutely the supply of wines or
other liquid refreshments at the hotels.
The immediate effect was to close up
the hotels and Mr.. Blackjack is here to
urge the state and naval officials to
revert to the old order

SKIRT SAVES HER LIFE.
Prevents Woman From Falling From
Capitol Dome.

Denver, Colo, July 3.--Miss Eva Har-
kins of Charleston, s. c., almost took a
tumble off the capitol dome. She faint
ed while sitting on the observatory rail
and keeled over.
Miss Harkins is here attending the
Sunday school convention. With a party
Of delegates she assembled the dome to
the observatory station. Miss Harkfns
mounted the stone railing, about three
feet from the floor and wide and fiat
enough at the top to make a comfort
able seat. Here she was surveying the
scenery with the aid Of pair of opera
glasses. Suddenly her companion utter
ed a cry Of horror. The young wornan's
face became pale, her eyes closed, and
her body swayed. Two of the women
in the party rushed to her side, grabbed
her skirts and held to her, and finally
lifted Miss Harkins from her perilous
position. A light woven wool skirt to
which her companions chung until as
sistance came was what saved Miss
HarkinS from being dashed to death.
If the skirt had torn she would have
fallen a distance of 240 feet.

IRON TRADE FIRM.
Consumption Outruns Production SO
Far This Year.

Consumption Outruns Production 80
Far This Year.
Cleveland, July 3-The Iron Trade Re-
view discussing market conditions in its
current issue, says:
The iron trade enters upon the second
half of 1902 with prospects fully as
bright as when the year opened, with
consumption greater and prices higher.
At the beginning of the year there was
the serious hampering of insufficient
railroad facilities. Pig iron production
about 100000 tons a month greater on
June I. than on January l.
But still consumption outruns produc-
tiOn which is now restricted by labor
troubles. With every nerve strained in
these six months the iron trade has
been unable to cope with the demands
of a phenomenal prosperity. In the past
week the coke shortage has been more
of a factor. Eastern Pennsylvania and
southern Ohio furnaces affected by coal
strikes, are still inactive, and Virginia
furnaces are feeling the shortage. Shen-
andoah, Allegheny and Lowmoor are
banked and several Tennessee furnaces
are running with less than their usual
supply of coke. In the Birmingham dis
trict the settlement with the coal miners
for the year beginning July 1 has
brought a strike and four furnaces are
banked. Steel works and rolling mill
scales cause no cessation OF work, am1c-
able adjustments being made, but a
number of mills including those of the
Republic Iron e Steel company will be
idle for two weeks for needed repairs.
The labor situation shows some unrest
outside of the miners struggle, railroad
machinists and boilermakers in the
west having made demands that are
still unadjusted. Naturally quiet at this
time in a number of lines the iron trade
gives no evidence that consumption is
tagging. New inquiry into pig iron has
come up in a very considerable volume.
Furnaces have not encouraged contract
ing for the new year and this has rather
stimulated the interest of some buyers
who recall the attempts of some south
ern furnaces to stave off buying early
in the year with results that to some
buyers were not pleasant. The largest
negotiations in pig iron for 1903 are in
the Chicago district one agricultural
implement firm having asked bids on
about $4,000 tons. But. relatively little
iron has been taken for next year in the
past week
