ELKINS'S SHIPPING PLAN.
CHANGE IN THE TARIFF.
Higher Rates for Goods in Foreign
TesseIs-Regular NaUdL Increase.

Paris, June 3.-Senator Elkins of West Vir-
ginia and Mrs Elkins arrived here to-day from
New-York and will stay in Paris and at Nau-
helm for some time. The Senator says he in
tends to reintroduce at the next session a bill
reducing by 10 per cent the duties on goods
brought to the United States in American ships,
or increasing by 10 per cent the duties on goods
brought in foreign ships. He expects the meas
ure will have strong support, as q result of the
failure of the Shipping bill Mr. Elkins says
that the proposed measure is not open to the
same objections as the Shipping bill as 1t will
develop American shipping without the eX-
penditure of a cent. large or small ships receiV-
ing the same benefits.
The Senator regards Colonial Secretary Cham
berIain's preferential tariff plan impracti-
ca bic owing to British dependence on American
breadstuffs, and says the carrying out of the
plan would bring renewal of the bread
riots.
Senator Elk'ns also says an understanding
EXISTS in Congress and government circles Tor
the authorize ton of the building OF three more
bat+Ieships or armored cruisers next year ana
each succeeding year for period of eight or ten
wears. He regards this as essential for protect
