POSITION EMENT LIKELY
DISCUSSION OF THE DATE OF
THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.

1t Is confidently expected that Secretary
Root will be able by tomorrow to announce
TO the representatives of Latin-American
republics that The Hague conference will
unquestionably be postponed so II will not
conflict with the Pan-American congress.
Although Russia has not formally ad-
vised the State Department of its willing
ness to accept another date Il has been
made clear that the latter part of July was
suggested because IT especially accept
able to the Netherlands. whose convent
ence is to be considered before that OF any
nation not burdened with the duties of host,
Most Desirable Time.
The Netherlands minister. Mr.. van Swim
deren. has had no advices from his govern
ment concerning the date of The Hague
conference. but said today that June and
July and early August are the most desir-
able months for conventions at The Hague.
because the social season Is at its height
at that time. and later there are rains and
few visitors Still he says the climate is
never so bad as to make the holding of
convention there highly undesirable.
Postponement Likely.
With the announcement that Great Brit
ain and Germany share the opinion of the
United States that the Rio conference and
The Hague conference should not be in
session at the same time, Latin-American
diplomatists are convinced that Secretary
Root will effect postponement of the con-
ference in the Netherlands and there is
much speculation now as TO just when the
signatory nations will agree 10 have The
Hague conference.
The Russian ambassador. Baron Rosen.
speaking of the proposed postponement OF
the date for the reassemblIng of the sec
ond Hague conference, stated that he had
acquainted his government at st. Peters
burg with the request of the State Depart
ment for a postponement, but that so far
he had received no reply from his foreign
office.
1t Is freely predicted that the meeting will
go over to 1907. as there seems to be no
demand for haste. The peaceful condition
of the world is reassuring and there seems
to be IL preponderance of opinion among dip
lomatists that meeting IN June of 1901,
when The Hague is at its best, should be
agreed upon.

BROAD JUDICIAL REVIEW.
Increasing Likelihood of Harmonious
Republican Agreement.

AS Heretofore reported in The Star. there
continues daily to be increasing likelihood
of harmonious agreement among the re-
publicans of the Senate on a railway rate
bill which will provide a broad plan of
judicial review. President Roosevelt Ia
getting in closer touch every day with
the republican leaders of the Senate. and
there is every indication that after all
the negotiations have ended the President
and the most influential republicans in
the Senate will be working side by side
and inviting the cooperation of democrats
who do not insist upon the most radical
rate legislation.
Just at this time the negotiations are In
very delicate stage and the baking of
handful Of men or OF the President wouid
precipitate the whole case into a situation
OF chaos. Republican leaders In the Senate
were seeming In a more agreeable mood
today on account of reports of President
Rcosevelt's willingness to take into consid-l
Grafton the demand for broad court re-
view as contrasted with the restricted re-
view. 1t was said that the President has
for some time been leaning in this direc-.
tion: In fact. ever since he announced aev-
era1 weeks ago that he thought the Hep
burn bill should be amended.

time that once the principle or review

BIDS ON STEEL SHIPS
AMERICAN PROPOSALS FAR
ABOVE THOSE ABROAD.

The expected testimony before the House
committee on merchant marine and fisheries
regarding the cost of American steel at
home and abroad was forthcoming today
when Mr.. e. S. Cramp of the Cramp ship
building firm testified at length in favor Of
the ship subsidy bill.
There was at present he said, absolutely
no difference between the foreign and do
nestle prices of steel This statement made
the steel question one of brief discussion.
AS to the cost of building ships In this coun-
try and abroad, he gave an illustration by
reciting the bids which We're recently made
on a tank ship of the largest type. The
successful bidder was a Scotch firm, which
constructed the vessel for $613,000. This was
the lowest bid and was 30 per cent lower
than the highest foreign bid The lowest
American bid was 81 024,000 and the lowest
American bid was II per cent higher than
the highest foreign bid.
Worthless Ships Bought.
In ten years. Mr.. Cramp said, this gov
eminent had expended S11 100000 in buying
foreign merchant ships for war purposes.
and the ships thus acquired have been rot
ten They were known in shipping par
lance as floating collins and whitewashed
traps"
AS an Illustration, he said, the Merrimac,
Santiago harbor, was the most worthless
of any of the foreign merchantmen ac
quired. The price paid for her was 25.000,
when, as a matter of fact, good price
would have been $4,000.
Under the subsidy bill he maintained that
In ten years. at cost to the government
of something like 100000, a greater tom
mage will have been acquired, and the ships
will be good ones. 1t will take ten years
to build up a sufficient merchant marine to
act as a proper escort to the navy. AT pres
ent we have not thirty ships for such es-
cort, and Great Britain has just estimated
that 300 merchant ships will be required to
properly attend her fleet in maneuvers
Depending Upon Legislation.
As to the practical application of the sub
sidy. Mr.. Cramp said that he knew of one
man. whose name he was not at liberty to
divulge. who had entered into a tentative
contract with two trunk lines to the Allan
tic seaboard for ten years from next sum-
| mer, and had also secured bids for six
large steamers. which were to be put into
the transatlantic trade in business where
the competition was most fierce The car
rying out of this enterprise depends unon
the passage of the subsidy bill

Mr.. Cramp in favor of the measure.
