FALLACY OF SUBSIDY SYSTEM.
MINORITY DENIES TH AT IT WOULD
BUILD I P COMMERCE.
Ihono That Most of the Amonnt Al
lowed for Subsidies Hon Id Go to
the Big Linen Which Carry lint
Little (area —Illr Passenger Ship*
anil Not the Freighter* Would Se
cure the Benefit* —So Faith in
Anti-Trn*t Amendment.
Washington, May 13.— I The minority re
port on the shipping sudsidy bill, oppos
ing that measure, has been filed In the
House of Representatives by the major
ity of the members of the Democratic
minority of the Committee cm Merchant
Marine and Fisheries.
Representative Fitzgerald of Massachu
setts drew the report, which was also
■lgned by Representatives De Vries of Cal
ifornia, Daly of New Jersey -and Speight
of Mississippi. Three other Democrats of
the committee, Messrs.Chanler, Small and
Ransdell, have heretofore submitted their
views, upholding the general principle of
government aid to the merchant marine,
but pointing out defects In the bill. The
present report, therefore, represents the
opposition to the measure, both In prin
ciple and detail. In the main it is an ar
gument against government subsidies,
end asserts that most of the proposed
19,000,000 subsidy will go to a few favored
concerns, without building up American
ehipping in general, or encouraging Amer
ican exports.
The report quotes a recent utterance of
President McKinley on the remarkable
Increase of our shipbuilding and says In
part:
Would Not Give Relief.
"Even if our foreign commerce were
in a declining rather than in a fair
ly prosperous condition, It Is Improb
able that the present bill would give any
relief, and for the following reasons:
"Because subsidies are graded accord
ing to the speed and capacity of ships,
and are more than twice as high per ton
of capacity for the swift passenger steam
ers, which carry but little cargo, ns for
ordinary freight steamers, which carry
80 or 90 per cent, of our exports. The
atidsidy, therefore, if It affects rates at
all, will affect passenger, rather than
freight rates.
"As only about 5 per cent, of the total
tonnage of the world's shipping is sub-l
dlzed, and as nearly all of the present sub
fidy goes to passenger and mail steamers,
he hopelessness of trying by subsidy to
fower freight rates and increase commerce
Is apparent. Unlimited subsidy would be
necessary to lower general freight rate*.
If any one country attempts by.subsfdy to
Secure lower rates, the subsidy must go to
all ships carrying freights. Otherwise
the moment the few subsidized ships lower
rates for one country the unstibfvidlzed
Ships (tramp steamers) will withdraw to
other service and rates for this particular
Country will go back to the world's level.
Hence it is practically beyond the ability
of any one country to materially reduce by*
subsidy Its ocean freight rates, and In this
♦ay to increase its foreign trade.
Will Not Lower Rate*.
"The bill does not sufficiently provide for
subsidies based upon the amount of
freights carried, nor does it require any In
crease In freight rate*. Subsidies never
materially lowered freight rates nor in
creased the commerce of the countries
granting them. Trade conditions and not
trade theories fix the rates. Nor have sub
sldies ever built up any country's mer
chant marine in this way.
"As the government could not, under the
proposed law, take American ships for
cruisers or tran*ports on any more favor
able terms than It can now 1 obtain them,
viz, by joying for them all they are worth.
It will on this score get nothing In return
for its lavish subsidy expenditures. It
provides no American seamen, and in no
hay would it provide for the national de
fense. On the contrary, by draining $9,000,-
000 a year from our treasury, It weakens
our national defense by taking motiy
which might otherwise bs Invested In more
ships or In transports, provision, ammuni
tion. eto., in case of war.
“By the time the gTeat shipbuilding
•hip-owning and railroad interests bring
In tholr forelgn-owned ships and get their
ships now being built into the subsidy race
the $9,000,000 limit will undoubtedly be
reached. Hence. It will be to their Integ
er.: to combine to step competition end
consequent decline of profits. We believe
that such a combination would be com
pleted soon after the passage of this bill.
"We place no faith In the anti-trust
amendment. All the federal and state
enti-trust laws now In existence ante
proven futile.
Illg Liners Would Benefit.
“By this bill, the government Is asked
to pay to the stockholders of a single
steamship line $1,600,000 a year for carry
ing abroad in Its foreign first-class pas
senger ships, not American products, but
American monied tourists. The govern
ment thus is asked to pay, not for the
exportation of American produce, but for
the exportation of American customers.’ 1
The report contends against “ a reward
to existing lines.”
The objections are summed up as fol
|pws:
“The objects professed In the title are
entirely forgotten in the body of the bill.
"It is reasonably certain that the most
of the subsidy would go to lines already
established and prosperous.
“The ordinary freight steamers, which
carry 80 or 90 per cent, of our agricultural
exports, will get but a fraction of the
amount of subsidy which the passenger
would receive, although tho lat
tcr carry less than 10 per cent, of our ag
ricultural exports.
“Under this bill a ship can run practi
cally In ballast and draw subsidy. We be
lieve that when freight Is not promptly
offered It will pay a certain class of ships
to run empty rather than to wait for
cargo.
"This bill would tax all our citizens to
provide extra profits for a favored few in
this favored industry.
“The professions in this bill are Insin
cere and Its principals are unsound.”

SAW MILL BOILER BLEW VP. •
There Were Several Narrow Escape*
From Death.
Orlando, Fla., May 13.—The large saw
mill of David Lockhart, situated about
eight miles out on the Florida Central
and Peninsular Railroad, blew up Fri
day morning. It was the most extensive
plant of the kind In this section. The
building was upward of 300 feet long, and
was thoroughly equipped with the neces
sary machinery to make it complete.
About thirty men were at the time at
work in and immediately about the mill.
A more complete wreck would be' hard
to imagine. The structure collapsed; the
boiler was hurled into the air a hundred
feet high and landed on the saw dust pile,
400 feet away; the building and grounds
all about were Uttered with broken tim
bers, broken pieces of machinery and
bricks from the masonry about the boiler.
When the building fell several men were
caught under the fallen timbers, and yet
they were rescued, free from bruises,
scalds and broken bones, with one ex
ception. One young man was caught by
the falling roof and had three ribs broken
and was slightly bruised about the
breast.
How men escaped being scalded by
steam and boUing water and how they
escaped being crushed by falling timbers
and perforated by flying bricks are mys
teries that can only be explained by a
belief that Providence willed their es
cape and for the Instant directed each
to a rift in the hailstorm of projectiles
which were hurled all about the place.
For 150 yards in all direc
tions the ground was strewn with bricks
and fragments of wood and iron from the
frameworks of the building and the brok
en machinery. To look over the ground
one would hardly think that a rabbit
could have lived in the storm of projec
tiles that flew through the air and buried
themselves in the ground.
The loss will be nearly $5,000. Mr. Lock
hart will rebuild at once.
SAVANNAH AND DUBLIN.
Mny Be Connected by Wny of the
Georgia and Alabama.
Dublin, Ga.. May 13.—This morning
President Simons of the Young Men’3
Business League, was seen in reference
to the interview with President Egan in
Saturday's Morning News. President
Simons refused to discuss the matter oth
er than to say that President Egan's
statement of the circumstances In the
way of the BreWton and Pineora Railroad,
running to Dublin, does not discourage
him In the least, and that he will go to
Savannah to see htm Just the same as if
he had made no statement at all concern
ing the quae;lot} yesterday. Your corre
spondent learned from an entirely reliable
source that lb all probability. Dublin
would soon get a short line to Savannah
whether the Brewton and Pineora runs
to Dublin or not.
As Is well known this city Is tho ter
minus of the Macon, Dublin and Savannah
road, although It is chartered to savan
nah. Several efforts have been made to
complete the road but for one reason, or
another, the attempts were always fail
ures. It has recently come to light that
the Georgia and Alabama end Macon,
Dublin and Savannah railroads are on
very friendly terms, and that It la highly
{reliable that a line will be built from
Lyons to Dublin, and the two roads thus
connected. The distance from Dublin to
Lyons is only forty miles, and Is even
more of a direct line to Savannah than
via the Brewton 'and Pinero.
It would not be surprising if the build
ing of the connecting link spoken of above,
took definite shape In Just a few weeks.
FATHER O'BRIEN’S DEATH.
Carries Sadness to Many Hearts In
Washington, Ga,
Washington, Ga., May 12.—The death of
Father O’Brien In Baltimore brought deep
sorrow to many a heart In Washing
ton. Hopes of his recovery had been en-
tertalned, which the news of his decease
sadly dissipated. Father O'Brien spent
twenty-six years of his ministerial life
In Washington, coming here directly af
ter being ordained in Savannah In 1874.
The charge of St. Joseph's Orphanage
was a difficult task, but so skillfully did
he manage It that, though he was twice
sent to other places, both times he was
recalled and put in charge again.
He -was a real father to the boys un
der his charge, for while he controlled
them for their own good, he was ex
ceedingly kind to them. Avery common
sight on our streets was Father O'Brien,
taking his boys to a baseball game, a
circus or a flying Jonny. Scattered far
and wide are boys, now men, from the
orphanage, who have learnt useful trades
and have risen in the world—to many of
them Father O’Brien was the only father
they ever knew, and his death will cause
a pang of regret.
Under his skillful management, the or
phanage has grown from one building to
half a dozen, grounds have been added
and a general air of prosperity seems to
enwrap the whole beautiful place.
The much beloved priest will be laid
to rest under the cedars In the old Cath
olic Church yard on Tuesday next. Doubt
less many friends from Savannah, Au
gusta and other places will attend the
laisl sad ceremonies.
FIRE AT CONDOR.
Forty Barrels of Crude Turpentine
Burned.
Dublin, Ga., May 13.—At Condor, four
miles from Dublin, the turpentine still of
Inman & Coleman yesterday narrowly
escaped destruction by fire. As It Is tho
firm I* short forty barrets of dip, and will
have to rebuild the platform around the
still, which was burned away. The tire
was caused by the wlregrass catching
I near the still.

the Democratic candidate for President.
Mr. Daniel L. Hazard, of the United
