InUrutlng Report ef tha Hauae Naval C
aHlae a Wannlc.
Washington, May 1. The naval pro
gram for 1003, aa presented in the
naval appropriation bill and the report
filed by Chairman Fi, of tha house
naval committee, la of unusual Interest.
The rejiort does not take aa optimistic a
view of our naval progress aa la gener
ally held, and Mr. Foss points out that
comparatively foa of our ships have
any nl fighting value. The report
says. In part:
"While we have built and are build
ing, all told, 138 ships, yet compara
tively few of them have any real light
ing value. Our naval proweaa lies
almost entirely In our 18 battloshlp, 8
armored cruisers and 21 protected cruis
ers. The rent of our ships would cot
but little figure in actual war. (hlps
of the battle line practically alone con
tain the naval strength of the nation.
"Of all the countries, (lermauy haa
been building during the past few years
faster than any of tha othera. Her
hip building program started In 1H
and will be completed in 1008, possibly
in 1U07, instead of 1016 aa lira
planned. Tula programme will give
her in all, ,38 battleship, H large
cruisers, 38 smaller cruieera and Utf
toriwdo boats. After the completion of
this program the plan contemplates
new constructions to replace ships
which, though still servicrahle, may
have reached the prescribed age limit.
"Jn view of the fact that there la
aome public sentiment favorable to
building ships In our government navy
yards, It haa been deemed advisable by
the commitUw to insert a provision in
the appropriation bill this year, leav
ing it to the discretion ol the secretary

Washington, April 29. Americas
coal finds a steady and ever increasing
market in Brazil, but our export trade
to Brazil, it la said, will never reach 1
Its proper development so long aa oar
merchandise haa to seek foreign bot
toms. It is pointed out that if a line
of modern steamers were operated be
tween New York and Brasil, there
would be no lack of return freight in
coffee, rubber and like prod acta.
American hardware, also, it la stated,
baa earned a reputation for qnality and
finish which places It beyond competi
tion. It la a notable fact that many young
Brazilians are coming to thia country to
complete their careers ol learning,
whereas, 'ontil recent yearstbe better
class from that country were sent to
Portugal, France or Germany to acquire
their literary, professional or scientific
training. Now also English la being
taught in some) of the higher schools ol
Brazil.
In the Argentine Republic the Amer
ican goods making the greatest headway
are tools, implements, cotton goods,
shoes and specialties. A banker of Ro
sario recently reported that (or the half
year ended June.30, 1901, the increase
of transactions between hia boose and
the United States had been 131 per
ceot, and he understood that other
banks had bad similar experiences.
But whilewe are materially increasing
the aggregate of our trade with Argen
tina, here, also, the absence of direct
steamship communication la a Landi
cap. In Chile, where lumbering a the
chief industry in its southern pro
vinces, practically all ol the wood incut
by mills of American construction. A!i
of the machinery used In the produc
tion of Hour also comes from the
United States.
On account of the political disturb
ances in Colombia, imports from tba
United State have increased only
sliichtly. The imports from all other
countries have remained stationary.
United States trade with Ecuador
shows a gratifying increase, due to pur
chases for the Guayaquil-Quito railroad,
better and qnicker transportation, low
er freight rates and the coming of
Amercian commercial travelers.

Chicago, May 1. A 1 1,000,000,000
packing trnxt is among the possibilities
if the United States government should
succeed in maintaining its contem
plated Injunction proceeding, says the
Tribune. The prediction is made in
La Salle street financial circle that
large packer who may be made defend
ants in the Federal court will be forced
formally to combine if the prosecution
against them under the Sherman anti
trust law is succetful. The combina
tion would be along the lines followed
by the United States Steel CorpoiatKin,
and would be made to comprise prac
tically all the beef packing companies
in the country.
In the formation of such a combina
tion all the powers now denied the
packers, with one exception, could be
legally consolidated. The single ex
ception, in the opinion of corporation
lawyers, would be the adoption of an
arbitrary and unreasonable schedule of
prices. Many attempts have been
made to form euch a corporation, but
all have been umaccesful During
the life of P. D. Armour the question of
the promotion of a huge packing com
pany, to include all the Chicago firms,
was dieensced, but Mr. Armour stood
firm asaint-t all such proposals. It is
estimated that at one time theprojct
went so fur aa to be considered by the
beads of all the large Chicago firms,
but the question of the allotment of
capital stock is understood to have been
the rock on which- the plan went to
pieces.

the president for hia approval, which

The bill strikes out that portion of

as many bills for bnudings nave passed
the senate which were not incorporated
in the house bill. At the same time:
the unanimity with which the houre
bill was passed will encourage- that
body to stand firmly for its bill in con
ference. It is understood, however,
that the committee expects to yield to
the senate, in some increases which
will be made.
Senator Mitchell announces his in
tention of fighting for an increased ap
propriation for enlarging the Portland
postoffice. He says the bill heretofore
passed by the senate committee appro
priates $250,000 for this purpose, while
the omnibus bill carries $100,000 less.
He maintains that such an extension
as is needed cannot be built foi the;
amount provided in the general bill.
It is probable Benat or Simon, a mem
ber of the committee, will also attempt
to have his billBappropriating$100,000
