2 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.” NEGRO WOMAN MUHDERKD.

Min nie Rhlneart, a negro woman, was found in the Savannah river to-day by a fisher man and Albert Jackson, who had Just gotten off the chain-gang, where he had served thirty days for beating her, was arrested for the myrder.

They were very secretive about themselves and their movements, and It is not known whence they came nor whither they went.

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. LEON COUNTY DEMOCRATS. : Delegation In*tracted to Vote for Fred T. Myer*. Tallahassee, May 13.—The Leon County Democratic Executive Committee met In the City Hall Just before the County Con vention met and ratified the canvass of the primary election returns as reported by the Central Committee.

Mr. Myers touched upon his candidacy for the Democratic nomina tion for Governor of Florida, saying that If chosen his every endeavor would be to remain true to the trust which would thereby be Imposed upon him, while If another was chosen as the party's nomi nee, he would loyally support the action of the convention, as he had done In former years. Upon motion of Rev. A. L. Woodward, the temporary organization was made per manent. Judge George P. Raney offered the fol lowing resolution, which was unanimous ly adopted by a rising vote: Resolved by the Democratic party of Leon county in convention assembled: First.

Mr. Irving Lindey died at his country home on Saturday, leaving a wife and two children. He was a member of the Gov ernor's Guards, and was to-day buried with military honors. nEsn/rs on the diamond.
