There are four white men to one
negro in Maryland. The whites are rich,
strong and aggressive. The negroes are
poor, weak, timid. Yet by the proposed
amendment the whites would take this

trick and an artitce.

STEERAGE BUSINESS lessons
BY WILLIAM e. CURTIS
Special Correspondence OF The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald.


NEW YORK, March 8. 1909.
The year 12OS was an un-
profitable one for the Atlantic
steamship companies. The managers
have been figuring up the business and
drawing a balance. which shows the enor-
nous loss of $26, 200 900 in their receipts
in comparison with the year 1907. There
was an extraordinary falling off In both
passenger and freight traffic owing to the
financial and industrial depression which
followed the panic OF 1907.
There was a decrease of 2O,0OO pas
sengers in the first-class business. and
as the average rate is $50 per passenger
this caused a falling off of about $500
OO from that source alone. But the
largest loss was in the steerage business
which is the principal soudce of revenue
for all the transatlantic lines. The num-
her of immigrants carried in 1907 was l.
885 600 while the total for 1908 was only
49, TO showing falling off of more than
5s3, 600. The average rate for the 1hlrd-
class passengers is $50. making total de-
crease In the steamship revenues OF about
S17. 100000.
The reports of the bureau of statistics
show a falling off in imports or ABOUT
$500. .0OOO and half that amount In ex-
ports. which accounts for the remainder
of the $26, 900 deficit.
The following statement Will show the
transatlantic passenger business for sew
eral years past.

BERLIN, March 6.-For the first time

The breach of precedent was made in

war department.
When White was United States ambas-

through his court marshal. declined on
the ground that Ii would be contrary to
etiquette for him to eat in hotel.

Show Confidence in Future.
The steamship companies showed their
confidence in the future by continuing to
increase the size and speed and to add to
the conveniences and luxuries of their
>steamers. Every company on the Allan
tic enlarged its fleet or raised the stand
ard of it's vessels. The North German
LLOYD celebrated the year by adding
to it's fieet the George washington, OF
270O0 tons displacement, the largest yes
sci carrying the German flag. The -am-
burg-American Company brought out two
splendid new steamers and will Lave two
more, bigger than ever and more lux
urious-the Cleveland and the Cincinnati
for the coming season. The Cunard Com
pany is resting on laurels it has won with
the Lustania and the Mauretania.
The White Star line is building the
largest passenger vessels ever designed at
Belfast, 10000 tons each, on the same
lines as the Baltic and the Adriatic. and
it has entered the Canadian trade with

tween Liverpool and Montreal. The Red
Star line has a splendid new steamer
called the Lapland; the Atlantic transport
line has added the Mnnewasta to its
fleet which will make direct voyages be-
tween New York and London. The An
chor line has leviathan called the Cali
fornia. The Holland-American line

three new vessels, La Navarro. La Nor

Reach Limit of Expense.
The managers of the steamship COM
panies declare that with the new White
Star steamers that are building at Belfast
the limit OF expense has been reached In
the matter of construction and equip
ment, and that it will be impossible to
pay dividends upon the cost of such
steamers without very largely increasing
the passenger rates. They claim also that
the old-fashioned steamers are being run
at a loss, aud that some plan must be de-
yised to get rid OF them
