SHIPSUBSIDY OPPOSED.
Committee of House of Commons
Advises Against 1T


London, Dec. 9.-The report of the
Select Committee of the House of Com
mons on steamship subsidies was is
sued this evening. Its general tenor US
distinctly algaint the principle Oh
granting subsidies. The committee
f,nds that British ship owners have not
suffered much from the fostering ell
fects of subsidies paid by foreign gov
ernments, that subsidies are merely
minor factors, and that commercial
skill and Industry are the major rae
TORS in the recent development OF the
shipping and trade of certain foreign
countries, notably Germany.
1t is also found by the committee
that subsidies restrict free competition
and facilitate the establishment ..
declarations and shipping rings, ana
that therefore general system OF sub
sides. except for services rendered.
and without government control or
the maximum rates on frelghts' Is
costly and inexpedient. In rare cases
where. in view Of special imperial con-
alterations. subsidies may be desirable
the committee declares the condltlohs
must include adequate speed and tor-
bid the sale or hire OF any supsiol4sa
shin without the permission OF the
government.
The committee suggests that regu-
Iations should be imposed on foreign
vessels participating in the British ana
colonial trade. as a means for secur-
ing reciprocal advantages for Brltlsh
shin owners broad. Dealing with the
Morgan transfer, the report says:
IF the American Railway manage
ment unites with the steamship man
agement, a very influential undertake
ing may perhaps be formed. but TOO
many interests are often involved 10
n,ake such combinations quite as pow
erful as they might be supposed
to be. II remains, however. quite GER
tain that the transfer Of British ships
to foreign flags whether owning for
eign subsidies or otherwise. may cause
serious results such as developing new
trades in which British shipowners
without government backing. cannot
engage, and the substitution of foreign
officers and crews for British"

and his wife, charged with poisoning
two of their children in order to coll
lect the insurance on their lives. were
to-day committed to jail by the cor
oner to await the action Of the grand
jury.
The children, Annie, aged o. and
Josephine, aged 3, died on Oct. II and

symptoms of arsenical poisoning. An

British subjects in Caracas probably
less than fifty. The Caracas-LaGuayra
Railroad is a British concern, and its
general manager and other high
officials are Englishmen. There are a
large number of natives OF the British
West Indian Islands in Venezuela, and
quite a number of these latter are in
Caracas. The Islanders are me-
groes with few exceptions. A
census of 1894 gives 6,164 Brit
ish subjects in Venezuela. This
number includes a great many of the
Islanders, as well as the British popu-
lation, in the territory awarded to
Great Britain. The Germans in Cara
cas- are much more numerous. They
are found at the head of important
commercial houses and banking insti-
buttons. There are number of Ger
man merchants and clerks at La Quay
ra and German subjects are found in
almost every important town of the
republic, engaged in commercial pur-
suits. The census of 1894 places the
number of Germans in Venezuela at
1862.

Fixed no Time.
Berlin, Dec. s.-It was learned this
evening that the ultimatums to Vene-
zuela did not fix time limit for an
answer, but that the officials of the
German and British legations were in
structed to leave Caracas at the end
of "a hours after their delivery, if
there was no prospect of a favorable
reply. This, however, was left to
their discretion.
The officials could have extended
their stay at the Venezuelan capital
if they thought 1t advisable to do so,
and the fact that they left is taken
to mean that President Castro does
not show signs of giving in.

Brunswick.
Brunswick, Ga, Dec. 9.-In one. of
the warmest political contests known
in Brunswick's history, Judge A. j.
Crovatt to-day defeated Mayor Eman-
uel by a majority of three.
The fight was hard-fought by both
sides. Tonight hundreds of people
are parading streets, fire bells are
ringing and the election managers are
locked in their room, guarded by the
police force.
This was done owing to the fact
that Emanuel supporters endeavored
to get control of the ballot box.
1t is not known who were elected
aldermen, but Crovatt seems to be the
only man elected on his ticket.
