TRIESTE, Austria, April Is, 1910.
The people of Trieste are proud of their
harbor. which cost thirty millions of
crowns and has all the conveniences
that are required for handling the trade
Of Austria.
Steamships are coming and leaving
every day. About 1900 vessels, includ-
ing 5000 steamers, enter and clear the
harbor annually for all ports Of the
world
Two great steamship companies have
their headquarters here. The Austrian
Lloyd, one of the oldest in the world,
was esta blished in 1885. The Austro-
American Company. a modern organiza-
ton, has thirty-three steamers. aggre-
eating 10000 tons, and four new ones
of 1000 tons building.
Several ships of this line are large
as ten, eleven and twelve thousand tons
displacement. The largest. the flagship OF
the fleet. christeued Martha Washington,
is Il, 800 tons.
|. The Austro-American line connects Tri-
este with New York city. New Orleans
and Savannah. where the ships go every
month for cotton, and Brazil and the
Argentine Republic, where they carry
emigrants.
The Austrian-Lloyd company has more
than a hundred ships, mostly between
twelve hundred and twenty-five hundred
tons, which cruise about the Mediterra-
mean, the Black sea and the Adriatic.
There are monthly sailings for India.
the Straits Settlements, Java and Austria
liza.
Both Companies receive subsidies from
the Austrian government. The Austrian
Lloyd company has its own yards and
machine shops for building and repairing
ships, and now has under construction
four battleships for the government.
In addition to these local companies the
Cunard Steamship Company has line
between Trieste and Fiume, which Is
across the Isthmus Of Istria, at the head
of the other branch Of the Adriatic sea,
and New York, which brings over many
passengers from New York to Naples and
other intermediate ports and carries back
thousands of emigrants.

that the church stop trying to convert

said that if Peary felt that way it was
up to the church to Choose between
