Coastwise Steamship Men
Alarmed Over Registering
Big Transatlantic Liners

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Of1cials Of
the American Steamship Association,
composed of the various coastwise
lines, are disturbed by the news from
Washington that movement was on
foot there to present an emergency
message to Congress which would en-
able the large transatlantic steam
ships to obtain American register.
H. B. Raymond, president of the
association, said he feared that any
hasty action on the part of Congress
might permanently injure the AMER
lean merchant marine.
AT the present time, under the
Panama act of 1872" Mr.. Raymond
said In a formal statement, ANY for
eign- built ship which at the time of
its application for admittance to the
American register is not more than
five years old can become an Ameri-
can vessel. It's officers must be Amer
lean citizens, however, and 1t can
enter into all trades except the coast
wise trade. Only American ships can
enter the coastwise trade. The ASSOC
citation fears that unless Congress
uses the proper elaboration In con-
sidering any measure to cover the
threatened European wars a blow at
American shipping may be struck"

The parcels post and other classes OF

Official German Organ Says
Kaiser Shifts Responsibility
for War on Car of Russia

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-The North Ger
man Gazette, the official organ of the
government, says that after the Rus
sian emperor had given the order for
the mobilization of the entire Rus
sian army and feet, Emperor Will
lam sent a final telegram to Emperor
Nicholas in which he made 1t clear
that his responsibility for the security
of the German empire compelled him
to adopt defensive measures.
The German emperor continued
that he had gone to the utmost limits
in his efforts to preserve the worlds
peace, and that the responsibility for
the calamity threatening the world
did not rest on him.
He declared that he had always
been faithful to his friendship for the
Russian emperor and the Russian
people and that the peace of Europe
could still be maintained if Russia
would cease to threaten Germany and
Austria Hungary.

MANY STRANDED AS
LINES CANCELIR|PS.
Foreigners of Rank and Poorer
Glasses Suffer Alike-com-
panies Lose Heavily.

NEW YORK, Aug. lat hotels in
this city are scores of foreigners and
Americans who had booked passage
on the Yaterland, which was to have
started on her trip across the At
lantie today. The cancellation of the
sailing of the Vaterland and other
vessels by the Hamburg American
and the North German Lloyd lines
also forced thousands of persons who
had booked passage either from
American or European ports to
abandon their trips or seek passage
on vessels of other lines not yet at
fected by the war.
Among those who sought hotel
quarters when the vaterland was
held up, are many foreigners of rank,
several Of whom are officers In the
armies Of their respective countries.
Many did not know their trip had
been postponed until late In the af-
ternoon and then there was a scram-
BILE to get their baggage to hotels
from the Hoboken piers.
1t was not believed that the war
scare would interfere with the sail
ing today of the Oceanic, OF the
White Star line; the Saxonia, of the
Cunard line; the Minnewaska. of tn,
Atlantic TRANSPORT line. or the Zee
land, Of the Red Star line. Each of
these vessels was heavily booked.
1t was said at the Hamburg Amer
lean line office that the Imperator.
scheduled to sail for this port yes-
terday. had been booked almost to
her capacity and that the loss of tho
line in passage money alone would
be at least $25O,000
This makes the combined loss Of
the two biggest ships afloat half a
million. exclusive of the expense OF
maintaining in this port officers and
crew of ship practically out of
commission.
A prominent marine official said to-
day that the next twenty-four hours
may witness a rush to American
ports of hundreds of freight and
passenger steamships registered I'M

tries involved, or to be involved in

Herman Metz Predicts War

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-Representa-
tive Herman Metz, in announcing
yesterday that he would not be can
didate for reelection in Brooklyn
this fall, prophesied that the next
Congress would be Republican. He
said many Democratic members
would refuse to run again this year
because of the attitude of the Will
son administration in refusing to rec
ognize them.
Mr.. Metz has extensive business in
terests abroad, and he said that a
general European war would result
disastrously for this country. He
continued:
II cannot get any response from
Germany to cables sent over a pc
Rod of several days. Five thousand
of the 1000 employees in the Metz fac
tories near Frankfort are on the re-
serve war list and will be called
upon to GO to the front. The same
condition will apply to other centres
of industry in Germany. The result
will be lack of labor for manufac-
turers, and imports and exports will
cease. This country will suffer ac-
cordingly.

Banks Decision Not to Send
Gold Abroad May Beggar
100000 Americans There

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The deter

vent the expectation of more gold to
Europe may make 1t extremely diff
cult for the 100000 Americans abroad
TO get cash for their immediate
wants. 1t was Indicated today In re-
ports from abroad that in the event
of a general war and the suspension
of payments by the banks it would
be impossible for Americans to get
cash on their letters of credit or trav-
eiers' checks
Express companies, members of the
American Bankers Association and
representatives of foreign banks have
announced that they had discontin-
ued the issuance of letters of credit
or the sale of travellers checks, be-
cause, 1t was said; it was impossible
to buy foreign exchange to cover
them.
The express companies and banks
announced that every effort would
be made to insure payment on all
outstanding checks. They explained
that they had sufficient balances
abroad to meet those demands.

sailed from New York last Tuesday,
carrying a large amount Of specie,
and is due to touch at Plymouth
and Cherbourg.
1t is presumed here that in tho
event of war she might elect to re-
turn to New York or to reach Ger

that the steamer, even If she tried
to reach New York. might be cap
tured by British or French cruiser
