Washington, Nov. 17. Tbe report
of tha commladon of navigation for
1896, after referring to the neoeaalty
for the paaaing ot a f ree-ahlp bill, atatet
that onr maritime rank on the Paoiflo
I now threatened by a new rival, Ja
pan, wbiob, under liberal and progres
sive law, baa Just established a trana
PaciOo ateamtbip line to tbe United
Btatna, and with the oo-operation of
Amerioan oapital, ia preparing to ex
tend tbia aervloe. In 1880, the tonnage
of Amerioan veaaela entering the United
Btntee from tbe porta of Asia and
Ooeanloa waa 888,895, and of foreign
veatel. 443,861 ton. In 1895, the
Amerioan tonnage entering waa 808,
481, tbe foreign 657,306.
Tha large and profitable carrying
trade onoo oonduoted between Aaiatio
and European porta by Amerioan vea
aela, wbiob aeldom entered Amerioan
porta, baa almoat entirely paaaed away.
We bava already aeen the Amerioan
flag, the commissioner laya, almost
wholly diaappear Jfrom the mid-Atlantic,
tare aa borne by tbe mail a tea inert
of tbe Amerioan line, and tbe figure
tend to thow that the carrying trade of
the Paoiflo la dipping from u. Before
it ia altogether loat, Commissioner
Chamberlain tuggett that oongrea in
quire into the conditions ot tran-Paoiflo
transportation. For tbe oontrol
of thia trade, the United State baa
obvlou natural advantagea.
Within the laat - Ave yeata, Japan'a
aeagolng ateel steamer have increased
from thirteen, ot 87,701 ton, to fifty
three, ot 106,888 ton. The number of
Amerioan ateel and iron steamers on
tbe Paoiflo ooaat la forty-three, of 68,-
635 tone.
Tbe report reooommende an immedi
ate extension of tbe aot of 1893, under
wbio tbe ateamihipa New York and
Paria were admitted to Amerioan regie
tor, and the ateamahipa 8t Louie and
8t Paul were built. In tbe United
Btatea. Under existing law, it ia im
possible to establish on tbe Pacific a
mail aervloe even approximating our
Atlantlo mail aervloe, a equal condi
tion, which were necessary to tbe re
cent oreation of the latter, do not exiat
there. The report oppotea at length the
proposition to impose 10 per oent ad
ditional discriminating dutiea on all
oargoea brought into tba United Btatea
by foreign veaaela. It point our that
tor over eighty yean, the United Btatea
has followed tbe polioy ot reciprocity
in shipping. Every other maritime
nation of considerable rank haa adopted
and now pursues tbe aame polioy.
Our total import for 1895 were
valued at $781,969,965, of whiob f 590,
588,863 were brought in foreign vettel.
Tbe discriminating duty bill would
put an aditional obarge ot (59,000,000
on our international exchanges, baaed
on the figurea of 189, an amount ap
proximately equal to our entire ocean
freight bill on lmporta and exporta.
In 1895 ooffeeimportawere $95,000,
000, of wbiob $60,000,000 worth of
ooffee imported into tbe oountry from
Braail, of $54,000,000, oame in foreign
vetsela. For tbe extra sum, Mr. Cham
berlain aaya, wbloh under the discrimi
nating duty project the Amerioan peo
ple would be required to pay for Bra
illan ooffee alone, there could be estab
lished iteamahtp llnea, inoluding twen-ty-flve
ateamera, equal to the St Lout
or St, Panl, or a muoh larger number
of the olaaa required for South Ameri
can, Aaiatio and African trade.
Tbe report quotee artiole from our
treatiea with the thirty-five principal
nation in tbe world, allot whioh, it ia
contended, mnat be abrogated, at tbe
expente ot disturbance of our trade
relation with tba world, if the polioy
ot discriminating dutie i to be adopt
ed by tbe United State.
Tbe report alto favor tbe enactment
of the omnibna bill relating to navi
gation and to Amerioan aeamen, in the
form favorably reported by tbe aenate
oommittee on commerce at tbe laat aea
aion, rather than in the form in wbloh
these bill patted tbe houae of repre
aentatlvea. It renew the argument for
the repeal of compulsory pilotage on
coastwise tailing vessels, and point ont
that oongrei haa apent over $37,000,
000 in the improvement ot aeventeen
barbora, at wbioh compulsory pilotage

vessel.
By the abolition of uaeleaa registry
bonds, Amerioan abipownera have been
aaved $80,000 annually, and Amerioan
lake ahipownera about $15,000 annu
ally In Canadian obargea impoaed for
yeara, in contravention ot tbe polioy
of reciprocity.
The adoption ot the measurement
law, the report itates, ha effected
saving ot tbouaand of dollar to
Amerioan abipping in foreign porta,
and in domeatlo lloensea and ohargea
bated on net tonnage, beside bringing
our law on thl lubjeot abreast of the
law of tire progressive maritime na

THE BILL MAY PASS
Good Prospect for Prompt
Tariff Legislation.
WO OPPOSITION IS ANTICIPATED
A Fou.blllty That tha Dlngloi- Bill
Will Bo Ke-eaaetad Cleveland
1. Still Fro Tradar.
Washington, Nov. 16. In view of
the reoent atatementa of aome of the
ailver senator that they would not op
pose the Dingley tariff bill, and the
opinion of Senator Morgan that tbe
Demoorata would probably permit tbe
legislation without obstruction on their
part,, the prospect for the bill are
deemed fair, if tbe Republioana decide
to pas it Upon tba latter oon'in
genoy there ia a division of opinion
among Republican. . Senator Sher
man, of Ohio, takes tbe ground that
tbe passage of tbe Dingley bill at the
coming aeaaion would obviate tbe necea
aity for an extra aetaion of oongrei, a
it would furnish all the revenue need
ed for the present and would be aufiV
dent for all purpose until oongres
ahall meet in regular aeaaion and pre
pare a revision ot the tariff carefully
and deliberately.
Another reason advanced in rapport
of tbe proposition for the passage of tbe
Dingley bill at this time i the eoggea
tion that tbe custom-house should be
looked a aoon aa possible by an in
crease of tbe tariff ratea against tbe im
pending flood of cheap foreign goodi
which come in through anticipation of
a certain increase in tbe rate at aome
future day. The faot ia reoalled in
tbia connection that juit tuoh a flood
of obeap gooda poured into tbe oountry
prior to the McKinley bill going into
effect, and in anticipation of the in
creased rates carried by that bill. In
the single month prior to the taking
effeot of that bill, tbe importation
jumped to $78,838,188. Thl waa an
increase over the preoeding month of
$15,000,000 and of the same month a
year previous ot nearly $35,000,000.
According to the arguments advanoed
the ill-effect of inch a condition are
obviou. It i held that it discounts
the revenues of the inooming adminis
tratiou, because tbe market i surfeited
with good and tbe importation would
be light for the first few months of the
tariff law. For tbe aame reason it ia
claimed barm ia worked to the Ameri
can manufaoturera and . laborers, tbe
people whom the new law ia to benefit,
for it outs off the market ot the Ameri
oan prodnot However, it i stated
that Preiident Cleveland would veto
the Dingley bill or any other tariff
measure passed at the coming aeasion
of congress. Hia support ot Bound
mrney principle! and hia praotioal oo
operation with the Republican party
in tbe election juit over can in no way
be construed, it ia aaid, aa meaning
that the president ia in any way in
amypathy with the party on other ques
tions. LITTLE CORINNE'S WILL.
Will E.tabll.h n Homo for Agod and
Unemployed Aetraaaae.
San Franoisoo, Nov. 16. Corinne,
the aotresa, now playing at the Colum
bia theater in thia oity, executed her
will yesterday. By ita terms her real
estate, her jewelry, every oostome and
every bit of her personal property will
be sold tor what it will bring. The
lump aum should aggregate $750,000,
and with it a good-aized tract of land
ia to be purchased just out of New
York. Upon this the "Corinne Home
for Aged and Unemployed Aotresses"
will be built and fntnre generations
of poor and. discouraged women will
rise up and call the danoer with the
flashing teeth blessed.
Corinne has chosen two Eastern men
of unimpeachable reputation to be the
trustees of tbe institution, and ahe haa
planned many detalla in advance. Her
idea is that the home should be open so
that aotreases oan go or come aa their
necessities diotate. All religions and
nationalitiea will be weloome. The
home will be sufficiently endowed, but
made, ao far as possible, self-supporting
by meana ot gardena and sewing that
the women may da Corinne wants it
to be in all sense a home, and her idea
ia to aave girl who cannot find em
ployment from working into sin. She
wants to extend tbem a helping band

j large number of other similar experi
ments will be made. A study will be
