STATISTICS OF OCEAN-CARRYING TRADE Cominlmiluiici- of A'nvlKntlon Clintnlicr luin Discusses Prolinlilo llllrot Of I'rOIIIINUtl (Ot CrillllCIlt Subsidy Hills, WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. -The report of Commissioner of Navigation Chamberlain, siude public today, shows that the last DbcuI year has been the most prosperous period known to American shipping for Lino years. Hctu,ns for the current fiscal year proinlso an even more satisfactory record. For tho first tlmo slnco the civil war tho documented tonnage of tho Untied Blutea exceeds G.OOO.OvO groi!H tons. On June 3U, 1000, American documented tonnuRO comprised 23,333 vessels of 0,101,8.10 gross tout;, on increase of 300,000 torn over the previous year. Our maximum tonnago was 6,639,813 tons in ISM. Our shipping, thj rcf.ort adds, In 1S61 was larger thun tlrunt Itrltaln's and nearly equaled tho llrltlsh cmplro's, llrltlsh shipping now amounts to 14,261 000 gross tons. American voj els are almost wholly confined to the cocistlnft trade, which employed last year 4,338,145 tons, or moru than tho total ton nage of (icrmany and France. Our ton nugn In tho foreign trade wan only 816,705 tons and carried last year only 'J per cent of our exports and Imports. A century ago American shipping registered for for eign trade was GC9.921 tons, while this ton nage now In tlits thirteen original states amounts to '132,007 tons, The report says that for serious compe tition with foreign nations in the ocean carrying trado wo nro practically restricted to ninety-seven registered Hteamshlps of over 1,000 tons each, aggregating 260,3.15 tens. Single foreign atcamshlp corpora tions own greater tonnage. Japan has flghty-thrco ocean steamships of over 2,000 tons, aggregating 28G,GOO tons. Ilesldcs theso Hteamshlps wo havo 125 registered square-rigged sailing vessels of over 1,000 tons each, for the deep sea trade. Moro than half of these nro over twenty years old and as such vessels disappear their places are not supplied by new construc tion. Our tntinago Is distributed as follows: llotwecu tho Atlantic and gulf coasts, 1!, 727,892 gross tons; Ureal Lakes, 1.E65.5S7 tons; Pacific coast,. Including Hawaii, 612, P04 tons; Mississippi and tributary rivers, 25S,4!G tons. Our steam whs el h amount to L',657,797 tons; documented canal boaM and barges, to C22.000 tons, and tho re mained, 1,884,842 tons, are, sailing vessels. The Incrcnso In our uhlpplug during the ticendo was 740,312 tons, of which 602,523 tons btand to tho credit of tho great Lakes. The Increase In ten years on tho Tactile has been IS 1.512 tons, duo mainly to Alaskan and Hawaiian trade, and on tho Atlantic and Gulf ccahtH only Sti.297 tons, while tho tonnage on the Mississippi and tributaries has decreased 30.000 tons. Slnco lS'JO tho world's Hteamshlps have Increased from 12,?S3,0(iO gross tons to 22,369,000 gross tons; ball vessels havo decreased from 9,166.000 tons to t!,G7t,000 tons and the effective carrying power of tho world's merchant fleots has Increased 60 per cent. Inrrrsnr In Size nf Stcnnilili". Tho most notable change In tho world's shipping has been In tho slzo of steam ships. In 1890 thero were 218 ocean steam ships of 4,000 tons or over, whllo now 080 such steamships, aggregating 5,800,000 tons, constltuto ono-fourth of tho world's steam tonnage. Increased speed, though great, has been less noteworthy. Of the ocean steam tonnage of 1S90, 13 per cent, 123 crew Hteamshlps, 1,630.000 tons, worn of twolvo knots or over. Of ocean steam ton Bago In 1900, 21 per cent, 1,109 screw steam ships of 0,230,000 tons, aro of twelve knots or over. Tho hulls of CO per cent of tho world's hipping aro now mndo of steel, com pared with only 20 per cent In 1S90. Concentration of the world's 'shlpownlng has been uotabio during the decade. The thirty principal steamship companies of the world own 1,000 steamships of u.ClG.OOO gross tons (Including some vessels now building), or ono-fourth In tonnago and moro than one-(uarter In carrying power of tho world's ocean steamships. Of theso only nlno of 81,000 tons, which aro owned by the International Navigation company, are American. On tho basis of tho gross earnings re ported by principal foreign steamship com panies It la estimated that during 189' tho gross earnings of nteam and sail ves sels In the foreign carrying trado of all nations amounted to $700,000,000. Tho export trade of tho United Stntes required about 20 per cent of tho world's seagoing tonnago In foreign trade, Includ ing tho lurgest, fastest and most expensive nteumshlps. Tho weight of our oxports by ea In 1S99 was 24,000,000 tons (of 2,210 pounds). To carry theso exports and pass engers, Including Immigrants, requires teady employment throughout tho year of nboui 1,200 Btcamshlps aggregat ing 3,600,000 gross tons, and 1,300 sailing vessels of 1,000.000 tons. Tho number and tonnago of vessols actually engaged Is, of course, larger, as many vessels aro engaged only part of tho year In tho trado of tho United States. Tho problem of ocean transportation at this time, tho report says, Is essentially one of transportation by stool screw oteam hlps. Tho purposes to which wooden fore and aft vessels nnd steel square-rigged ves sels aro adapted aro Important, but re stricted. Tho Suez canal reduced oppor tunities for Hall vessels and tho Nicaragua canal, It Is said, will further reduco thorn. Itrltlsli mill American Construction. In tho last ten years Great llrltaln has Imllt 4,638 heol steamships of 9.973,000 tons, whllo tho United States has built 465 steel steam vessels of 743,000 tons, of which 19S of 450,000 tons wero built on tho (Ireat Lakes.

On August 15, 1900, sixty-eight merchanf steel steam vessels, aggregating 278,00') tons and forly-sevqn naval vessels of 13,000 tons (displacement), were building or con tracted for. Contracts slnco that data bring tho merchant total up to 350,000 tons, Including about 100,000 tons on the lakes. Congress has authorized 179.SO0 tons (dis placement) of naval vessels, not yet con tracted for. I'art of tho merchant construc tion will not be completed In two ycara or more, but tho current year will record much the largest amount of steel shipbuilding In our history. Tho report fays tho coasting law and Us recent extensions, our heavy expenditures for naval construction nnd tho building of vessels to replace thore bought for trans ports and the postal subsidy lrv have given steel shipbuilding Its recent atimulus. Probable Kiri Lt of Subsidy Illlls. .Mr. Chamberlain reviews In some detail tho bills reported to tho scnato and house of representatives known as the subsidy bills nnd give? Illustrations of the difference In cost of building and operating American and llrltlsh steamships at the present time, tie says that tho subsidies proposed gen eially equalize those differences. Monthly wages on tho American vessols nro $1,200, against $!'00 on the llrltlsh ship. Comparisons aro mado with foreign sub sidles to fast steamships, which aggregate $20,000,000 annually, nnd the report holds that tho subsidies proposed for clmllar American steamships are not moro than ad equate to secure American ocean mall serv ices to tho great continents equlvalont to those of Great llrltaln, Germany and France, In tho Inst sixty years Great llrltaln and Its colonies havo spent over $240,000,000 for llrltlsh ocean mall steamships. On the basis of foreign voyages actually mado by American vessels, aggregating ?,097,000 gross tons, during tho year 1899, Ihu report says the expenditures under tho fcennte subsidy bill would havo been $2,907, 000 nnd under tho house bill $2,790,000. De tails nnd estimates show that, with the ad ditional rhlpplng eligible, tho cost during tho first year of tho bill's operation would bo about $4,500,000. Tho maximum of $9,000, 000. It Is said, probably would bo attained during 1901-11)03, when u reduction of sub sidy rates would bo neccspnry. Hy that timo tho building of over 500,000 tons of ocenn steamships nnd tho necessary Increase In number and extent of our shipyards, the report declares, would havo materially re duced the cost of shipbuilding In tho United Stntes compared with Great llrltaln nnd Germany. Under the bill In live yean' American steamships In foreign trade, It Is stated, would doubtless reach 1.200,000 tons, and sail vessels 650,000 tons, sudlclent to carry about one-third of our ocean trade. Tonnngo taxes wcio $8S0,4S2. In view of our great expenditure1 for harbor Improve ments nnd lighting the coast, tho report declares, thero seems to bo no reason why our tonnago taxes should be so much less than corresponding foreign charges.

In the first place, thero I the general question whether tho American Ice com imuv, ileallni; ns It docs in a necessity -,f life to the poor people of Now York, was one Into which It was pronor for n publlc oplrlted man to enter. This Is, of cour.o. not u question for legal uotlu?i In any shape or form Moreover, It In necessary to liottit out that whether the corporation Is legal or lllepal, proper or Improper In chnrncler, It In mi net of utter hypocrisy on tho part of nny public nan to denounce trusts In guneiul, nnd this trut-t In par ticular. In the platform nnd on tho stump while he nt tho samo time, In his private, eapuelty. holds stock of litii held sto-k that Is thus denounced. Attention Is called to this mutter slmnlv because an effort 1ms been made to show that unless legal notion niralnst the- truvt or tome of Its stockholder tan bo taken theso same public men ,iro to bo xon ernted. , " fc'ooono There Is the quostloii whether or not the existence of this lo-calleil ice, trust Is In violation of tht anti-trust law This, of course, ran only bo decided by the courtH.

WASHINOTON, Nov. 13. Tho decrease of tho Hawaiian raco has been steadily grow In? less rapid for tho last several decades, efpeclally the female population, according to tho annual report of ex-President San ford U.

Whllo the figures show race progress the census reports as to surviving chlldicn uro discouraging. In the censuses of IM'0 nnd lS'jfi tho pure Hawaiian percentage of sur vivors was tho lowest of all nationalities represented In tho Islands. An encouraging outlook for the Hawaiians exists In tho fact that out of (1,327 owners of real cstato In 18'JO 3,0!)j wero pure Hawaiians nnd 722 pnrt Hawaiian. The facts aro significant ns shuwlng the ownership of holdings by so largo it number of pure Hawaiians and tho evident tendency of tho raco to acnulro homesteads. The ex-president reports that there Is reason to expect that annexation will Influence Hawaiian character very fn voiably through the changed conditions ef fected. Their old dependence on their chiefs has ceased and they aro forced to rely moro upon themselves and their footing with tho whlto men In tho future will be cnttal. The political privileges they enjoy In common with other American citizens, he sas, will lend to educate them In public affairs. Tho total valuation of real nnd personal prop erty In Hawaii subject to nd valorum as sessment In 1P00 Is $37,4!U,S84. The re ceipts from taxes are rstlmnted nt $1. 341.60.
