WOULD DIVERT INNING RATION.
German Editor Wants Fellow Coun-
trymen to Choose Canada

Victoria, B. c., July 25.-Herr A..
Wagner, editor of the Berliner Tage-
blatt, and champion in Germany of
emigration to Canada in preference to
South America and the United States,
is here gathering notes for an illustra-
ted lecture on Canada, to be delivered
throughout the German and Austrian
empires. 1t was through his instru-
mentality that the Austrian govern
ment permitted 10000 Galicians to
emigrate to the Canadian Northeast.
He will contribute special descriptive
articles to the Tageblatt and other
German newspapers on Canadian con-
ditions.
Herr Wagner has Influenced the min
istries of Germany and Austria to such
a degree that something like boom
in Canadian emigration is extending
throughout these countries. After
spending a week here, Herr Wagner
will proceed to Eastern Canada to in
terview the Dominion government,
and thence to Germany to begin his
lecturing tour.

New York, July 27.-Thomas Tag
CART, of Indiana, has been elected
chairman of the Democratic national
committee. Endorsed by nearly every
member of the committee the day al
tire the convention adjourned at ST.

only the decree of Judge Parker IN

of Senator German to accept the place
could prevent the selection of Mr. Tag
cart. Neither of these contingencies
arose and the Indiana man was unan-
imously chosen to the place.

SAW PUGET SOUND
MERCHANT MARINE COMMISSION
IN SESSION AT SEATTLE.

Saw.

Seattle, July 26.-When members of
the congressional commission appoint
ID to investigate conditions of the
American merchant marine, for the
purpose of recommending government
aid to the shipping industry, met this
morning it was with an understanding
If the Importance of Seattle as COM

nent Seattle citizens, spent the entire
day cruising about the sound, visiting
the various ports, inspecting the ship
wards and other places of interest. To
use the language of one of the commits
sioners: 1.-The party saw things that
we're a revelation to them" At the
shipyards they saw facilities for vessel
construction such as they did not know
existed on Puget sound. Their opinion
of the harbors they saw one of them
described in this sentence: "They
are the finest in the world At the
navy ward the commission saw the IA
cilities that the government has there
for the maintenance of its navy. At
Port Blakeley they were given an in

ping industry of the Sound that won
their unstinted admiration and praise
Show 1t All TO Them.
Time and trouble were not spared in
an effort to show the commission and
their friends everything that could be
seen in the few hours allotted for the
trip. At its conclusion the commits
sioners were profuse and sincere in
their expressions of admiration for Sc
attic, Puget Sound and the splendid
facrilities possessed by both for engag
ing in the commerce of the world. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of all that
the day is not far distant when the Pa
cicfi ocean will carry the greater part
of the commerce of the globe, and Se-
attic with its unsurpassed facilities
will be the commercial center of the
Pacific coast and the metropolis of the
West. Representative Minor, of Wis
consin, went so far as to prophesy that
within twenty years the city would
have population of more than half a
million people.
That the observations of the commits
sion yesterday made an impression on
them which will play an important
part in securing government aid for
shipping which will benefit Seattle
there is little doubt, judging from ex-
pressions from m em bers of the commits
sion. This morning the commission
began to take evidence relative to the
needs of this port to guide them in
their recommendations.
The trip of inspection about the
sound was made on the steamer Main
lander, placed at the disposal OF the
commission by the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company.
