 SHIPBUILDING VENTURES

 we can export, because cost of produc- tion is so high we cannot sell them. If we could carry those products in our own bottoms, 1t would be source of great profit
 "I have had experience in building two ships-the largest freight careirrs in the world--and l don't want any more. q don't think you will make much of a success of buying a merchant marine, it won't stay with you. You must get people interested, but there does not seem to be much disposition on the part of the people to go into shipping
 In answer to question of represen- tative McDermott, MT. Hill said that his two big ships cost 2S to 30 per cent more to build here than abroad MT. McDermott questioned on the point l of governmental aid
 There are only two courses open,' said Mir Hill, either an export bounty. or | government assistance which would rise | into very large figures
 Then you are convinced that we shall have to give some sort of government aid, or go out of business?r asked Sem ator Lodge
 | Exactly If you fix a limit of ten years on the subsidies the favored party | must make the cost of his plant in the ten years. Otherwise he will sell out to l the other fellow"

WERNER IS COMING
 WITH THE PIGMIES
BRAZILIAN PAVILION AT WORLDS FAIR IS OPENED AND IS ONE OF MOST IMPOSING BUILDINGS AT FAIR.

St. Louis Worlds Fair Grounds, May 24.-The beautiful pavilion erected by Brazil at the worlds fair was formally opened tonight May "A was chosen as the date of the opening ceremonies, as it marks the anniversary of the greatest battle in South Americas History, when, on May "A. 1865. Brazil and Paraguay fought at Tuyuty, on Paraguay.
 The pavilion has been declared by critics of high authority to be the most impos- ing building on the grounds
 The first ball to be held at the exposi- ton will be held Monday evening at the German pavilion, being given by Ger man Commissioner General Lewald.
 Only 125 guests will be invited, and among them will be Miss Helen Gould and Miss Alice Roosevelt, the latter of whom Is expected to arrive Friday on a visit.

Werner of Alabama. who was sent as a special agent tc the interior of Africa to secure native pgmies for the exposition. The cablegram said that the pigmies are being brought here. For some time, it had been feared that Rev. Werner had met with mishap, as word from him should have been received two months ago.

position of tho body which were of the most revolting character.
 Her mother, she said, cut off Taylor s head with an axe and put it in the stove. Then the older woman took lighted lan- tern and swung 1t around three times from the doorway. This brought Peter Yerkins to the house. the witness con tinued. He asked if Lafe was dead and received an affirmative answer.
 Mrs. Taylor again took the axe and tried to cut off one of Taylor's legs. then laid the axe down before she had succeeded. YerlSins took the axe and finished cutting off the leg.
 Ida says she went to bed and left Yer lSins and her mother together with the body When she arose the next morning Yerkins had disappeared and her mother was still burning the body.
 At the previous trial it was brought out that Mrs Taylor cut up the trunk of the body and put 1t in a cloth sack and placed the sack in a washtub, which was put in the cellar. Mrs. Taylor took the ashes and bones from the stove and pounded up the bones and fed them to the chickens. The skull was not burned and 1t was brought back to the house and nut in the stove again.

New York, May 24.-James J. Hill, pres ident of the Northern Securities company and of the Great Northern railway, ap- peared this afternoon as a witness before the Merchant Marine commission, the joint congressional committee which is investigating the cause oi the decline of American shipping, in order to suggest measures for remedial legislation.
 "The first thing" said MT. Hill. lis to create desire in the people of this coun- try to own ships. It is a purely com- mercial question. If there is profit in it, people will engage in it; if a loss. it is question how long people will stick.
 Our conditions on the high seas as a nation seem hard to meet. On land. in spite of high rates of laoor, the United States has been able to work out a sys- tenn without an equal.
 Why we are not able to do this on the high seas is not clear to me, and as far as I have investigated it. I believe that no amount of direct bonuses will build it into life worth living
 What the country wants is a market. Outside of our agricultural products, cot ton, grain, oil, there are very few things

 Henry B. Gray will be temporary chair uan of the convention and had he so desired could have been made permanent chairman. Proferring to have some other democrat share the honors he will not stand for election as permanent chairman and 1t now looks as if the fight will be between Richard II. Clarke of Mobile, Henry D. Clayton of Barbour, ard Syd- rev ]. Bowie of Calhoun. It is very grat- flying to the Jefferson delegation to know that the unanimous choice of MT Gray was in the nature of an endorsement or his candidacy as lieutenant governor or the state to succeed Dr. R.

The steering committee was Instructed to trade in any way poslpie Eo far as election of delegates from the state at large was concerned to secure the election of Rufus N. Rhodes. FranK s. White was elected chairman of the Jefferson delegation and B. A. Thompson was made secretary.

 While Judge Parker has many strong friends here the delegates seem to be in favor of sending Alabama's delegation to St. Louis uninstructed.

Screws will have hard fight to be elected a delegate at large from Alabama to the national democratic convention. A hard fight is being made on him by the regulars and they say tonight that they have him downed. His support of Palmer and Buckner is the cause of opposition to him.
 It Is believed that he will be beaten by Congressman William Richardson or Madison, who is being groomed to make the race.
