The Proceedings.

have never had to put up with the dis
comforts of French prison, but az
for the American prisons, must admit
that / was agreeably surprised at the
treatment received while IN prison
IN New York. OF course, missed the
luxuries to which had been accus'
toned. buh found the assiduous jailers
as eager to please me as my own ser
wants. It is evident my being mil
lionaire counted for something.
NV brilliant lawyer, Mr.. Teck. had
the same preoccupation as the most
humble OF the jailers when he said to
me in his cool American manner:
"Mr. Douglass, how much will you
increase my fees IL I save your life?"
Or again:
what sacrifice are you ready to
make to save your adopted son the
maximum punishment? He was not
caught In the act and has not admitted
his crime. It is stated by unquestion-
able witnesses that for quarter OF an
hour he was alone with Mr.. Kingsley
in his Office. It is certain that sew.

HE TRADE OF THE PACIFIC.

y
Senator Root, who during his term
Of service as secretary of state, ais
played a brilliant grasp OF foreign
affairs, spoke in the senate YESTERDAY
IN favor of ocean mail subsidy for
American vessels plying between ports
of the United States and Latin
America. He added a few words IN
favor OF the proposed amendment OF
the subsidy relating to the lines to the
orient. In this connection he said:
ut was not within the scope of the
remarks that I had mapped out TO
touch upon that subject" said Sanatof
Root, .but will make one observation
regarding it, and that is that we are
coming to have less and less participa'
ton in the trade Of the Pacific. Inc
open door Is becoming OF less and less
Importance to us. American shipping
on the Pacific is being driven or the
sea by the subsidized lines of Japan,
and it will soon be the case that
America will end at low water mark
on the shores Of California and Ore
gon and Japan will begin at the three
mile line from those shores. should
he glad to see something done by the
American government to prevent that
most undesirable result"
Certain gentlemen in congress grow
hysterical whenever they hear the
word subsidy" but there is enough
in what Senator Root says to show
the necessity for giving serious con
sideration to this subject, not dismiss
sing It with a wave Of the hand.
