excessive, whereupon the Justice said he
did not think it was much Of a burden to
wea THY man and that second ofense
won Id call for a fine Of 500.
Richard V. Lindabury, the Newark law

trely too fine a point. he says that on the

to the claim of the authorities, who he fur

SHIPPING COMMISSIONS BILL.
Members OF tho Now Congress Urged to BE
Prepared to Act Upon Ii.

WASHINGTON June lO.-Gen. Grosvenor
OF Ohio, who was chairman OF the House
Committee on Merchant Marine and
member Of the Shipping Commission which
last year presented to Congress report
and the draft OF proposed bill for the
rehabilitation Of American shipping, has
sent circular letter to the members Of the
next House urging them to give the sub
ject the closest attention in order that
they may be prepared to act upon such a
measure at the coming session.
"We believe" he adds, that the Fifty
ninth Congress must do something in the
direction of the improvement Of our stua-
ton, or we shall be practically subserv;ent
to the foreign flags in the carrying trade
to the foreign markets. We are paying
nearly 32CO, 10000 per annum for freight
between American ports and foreign ports,
and this money goes into the hands of
our own labor and capital, 80 far as ships
go, languish."
