Representatives of the steamship lines plying between this ccuntry and Germany and the Netherlands were given a hearing by the Senate committee on commerce yes- terday on the tonnage tax bill. This bill repeals the law exempting from tonnage taxes vessels from foreign countries which extend a like exemption to our vessels. It had been favorably reported once, but was recommitted in order to permit the represcntatives of these lines to be heard. The Hamburg-American line was represent- ed by E. L. Boas and the Netherlands line by W. H. Van Den Toorn. They argued that the passage of the bill would neces- sarily operate co as to add the cost of transportation, and that its effect would be antagonistic to the interests of American exporters. Commissicner of Navigation Chamberlain was given an opportunity to speak in sup- Port of the bill. He said that as the Neth- erlands and Germany were the only for- eign countries which had taken advan- tage of the law, and that as our tonnage was very slight compared to that of those countries, the bill operated to give an un- fair advantage agairst all other coun- tries, qur own included. He showed that while the law relieves American vessels in Germar and Netherlands ports to the ex- tent of about $300 per year, it relieves their ships in our ports to the extent of about , 000. —____- e +—____ Expenditures of the District.

EASTERN LEAGUE NOT 70 TAKE PART Breitenstein Signs With the St. Louis Club. NOVEL RACE ON THE HUDSON —___+___ “The annual schedule meeting of the Eastern League of professional base ball clubs, which began Wednesday at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, was concluded yesterday. The delegates went carefully over the en- tire constitution and revised it, but, with one exception, the changes made were not of very great importance. In future a club for leaving the field during a game will be fined $300 instead of $100. In regprence to the meeting of the minor leagues, which is to be held in Washing- ton on March 16, the board was evenly di- vided, there being four negatives and four affirmative votes on the question of send- ing a delegate of the Eastern League to that meeting. President Powers cast the deciding vote against the sending of a del egate, but he sa‘d in all probability that he would be at the meeting in Washington to look after the interests of the Eastern League. A. C. Buckenberger of Toronto was elected on the board in place of John C. Ckapman, who has sold his interest in the league. President Powers’ salary was in- creased by $300. The appointing of umpires was left in the hands of the president. He has already signed Gaffney and Swart- wood, and, in all probability, he will sign Joseph Lindon of Toronto and Thomas J. Kelly, who has been umpiring very suc- cessfully for the Iron and Oil League. LONG-DISTANCE ROWING. Anthes, Plainted and Teneyck to Row From New York to Albany. A long-distance sculling race has been ar- ranged between A. Anthes, Fred. A. Plais- ted and James Teneyck. They are to row on the Hudson river, from the foot of S8th street to Piepenbrink’s dock, at Albany. The race will take place June 23. The stakes are $500 a man, the winner to take the purse. “Father Bill" as referee. The agreement also provides for further entries, provided the three men agree to allow the applicant or applicants to come in, and the money will then be divided on a proportionate basis, moreover. The con- testants can row any style of boat, with or without coxswain. Curtis has been selected To Discipline the Boys. On account of the gessip’ over the league changing the meeting place next fall to Chicago President Hart yesterday said: “The plain truth about it is the change was made on account of the New York news- paper men. The meetings have been held in New York so long that the New York boys got it into their heads that they own- ed the league. They assumed to dictate its actions, and the majority of us knew that the most sensible way to reform the evil was to take our meetings away from New York.” Out of Patience With Lange. Lange, the big Chicago outfielder, not having notified the Chicago club that he has accepted terms to play with the team an- other year, tne chances are that he will not be with the nine until the season is well under way, if indeed he*may not lie idle all the year. President Hart gave Lange until March 5 to accept his terms. Otherwise the out- fielder would have to take his last year’s salary and a puniskment besides. Lange has signed to coach the Leland Stanford University nine. President Hart insinuates that he believes some of the eastern clubs secretly dickered with Lange last fall. Breitenstein Signs for $2,600. Secretary Muckenfuss of the St. Louis Browns has at last succeeded in landing Breitenstein, the crack left-handed pitcher, who for some time has been holding back for an advance over last season’s salary. He was signed last night at $2,400, the league limit, and will receive a bonus of $200. The Browns will leave for Dallas, Texas, on the 14th instant, to put them- selves in training for the season’s work. New Yorks Reach Charleston. The New York Base Ball Club arrived at Charleston, S. C., yesterday from New York, on the steamer Comanche. The club is bound for Jacksonville. Only a few had been seasick. =. THE METRIC SYSTEM. It fs to Come im 1901 if the House Has Ite Way. The House committee on coinage, weights end measures has decided to make a fa- vorable report on the resolution of inquiry introduced by Mr. Cummings of New York asking the Secretary of the Treasury for information in regard to the purchase of blanks for nickels and pennics by the Phil- adelphia_mint. A substitute for Representative Hurley's bill in relation to the adoption of the metric system was also decided upon favorably. The most important changes are in putting the law in operation in government depart- ments in 1898, and for the general in 1901. . pate RESPECT TO GREENHALGE. The Bay State Delegation Adopts Ap- propriate Resolutions. The Massachusetts congressional delega- tion held a meeting yesterday to take ap- Propriate acticn upon the death of Gov. Greenhalge. Senator Lodge presided, in the absence of Senator Hoar, the dean of the delegation. All of the members in the city were present. It was arranged that all of trem who can leave the city should at- tend the funeral. Senator Hoar and Rep- resentatives Draper and Morse are now in Massachusetts, and will doubtless rep- resent the delegation in part. A commit- tee, consisting of Messrs. Walker, Knox and Apsley, was chosen to frame resolu- tions, but Mr. Walker being unable to serve, Mr. McCall was substituted. —___e-____ COASTAL TOPOGRAPHY. Various State Naval Militia Command- ers Called on for Information. The Navy Department is sending out to the naval militia commanders of the vari- ous states having such organizations blank forms for the collection of information re- specting the topography and physical fea- tures of tkeir respective localities for mill- tary use. What is wanted is information teuching all water approaches, docks, creeks, bearing of nearest telephone and telegraphic connections, approaching roads, possible sites for batteries, landing places for naval forces and every feature of the vicinity calculated to be of value from a military standpoint. This is the result of the success attending the experimental re- connoissarce made last summer of the shores of Long Island sound by the naval militia, when a mass of information re- specting the sound shores was obtained, that has keen placed on the files of the War and Navy Departments as sure to be im- mensely valuable in time of war. —————_-——__ Condition of Jameson’s Surrender. The secretary of state for the colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, in the British house of commons yesterday, replying to an inquiry on the subject sald that the surrender of the Johannesburg revolters showed that the former were not told that the lives of Dr. Jameson's followers de- pended upon the town’s surrender. The commandant, he added, had exceeded his orders if he agreed that the safety of Dr. Jameson’s men was a condition of their -ISPORTS QUTDOORS|4 HOPEFUL. DEMOCRAT Mr. Jefferson M. Levy Discusses the Pature ‘of tthe Party. He Says Demograty Must Believe in Sound Money, of Give Up Faith im Thomag, Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson M, Levy, who is an impor- tant factor in dgmocgatic politics in New | York, and who owns Monticello, the home and burial place 9f Thomas Jefferson, is in Washington, and chatted with a Star re- porter at the Arlington this morning over the polttical outlook. “I believe the prospects of the democratic party are brightenir g every day,” said Mr. Levy, with an emphasis that bespoke confi- dence. “In New York state the republicans are demoralized beyond any hope of getting together again, and it will be a surprise to every intelligent student of politics in that state If the democrats do not carry it at the fall elections by 70,000 majority. Why? Be- cause the business men are disgusted with the attitude of the republicans, both in Con- gres= and in the state itself. Particularly is the indignation and anger widespread in the latter instance. The republicans have had control of the city government of New York less than a year and a half, and in that time have increased the amount col- lected by way of taxes and bonded indebt- edness from the people of the city over $19,- 000,000. ‘The present year will see those fig- ures increase to $25,(kw),000, and there is to be a still further increased taxation on a basis of an {1 creased assessment valuation. The republican legislature has been rush- ing gag laws through with outrageous ef- frontery Bills have been passed largely taking away the power of cities to govern themselv-s and placing their most vital in- terests in the hands of stete commissioners. Complaint of the Raines Bil. “The Raines bill is a good example of this species of legislation. Heretofore the great charitable institutions in New York city have been supported largely from the fund secured by excise taxation. The Raines hill takes all this money away from these institutions and turns it over to the state. There is a storm of indignation over this, as well as over the proposition to extend New York city’s limits so as to take in all the cities and towns, large and small, within a radius of many miles. This would take in Brooklyn, with its honded indebtedness and its immense taxation on an assessment equal and in many in- stances greaier than the actual value of the real estate. These are only a few of the republican acts and expectations that have set New Yorkers wild. And the anger and d'ssatisfaction extends throughout the state. Even Gov. Morton has been com- pelled to call a halt and the other day in the legislature Mr. Pavey, a republican leader, denounced the body uf which he was a member in unmeasured terms.” “Can this have any national effect?” in- quired the reporter. Free Silver a ‘allacy. 3 New York goes, so goes the replied Mr. Levy. ‘The demo- cratic party can reap the benefits of repub- lican misrepresentation if it only keeps it- self free from financial mistake. It is a great error to call 4 man a democrat who believes in free silver. I take it that a democrat is a man who belleves in and subscribes to the principles enunciated by Thomas Jefferson. ‘There is no denying that proposition. Such being the case, a follower of Jefferson must be a champion of sound money. Why? Because when Thomas Jef- ferson became President, in 1805, silver was then being carried at a ratio of 15 to 1, with gold, but he stopped it, and declared that this country could not afford te do so and compete with the rest of the world. “The democrats of the south,” continued Mr. Levy, “do not know what they are do- ing when they listen to the fantasies of the free silverites. The argument is made that it would be possible for them to their debts for fifty cents on the dollar. With silver given free coinage at the favored ratio of 16 to 1, it would be harder for the debtor to get fifty'eents then than it is for him to get $5 now. Any man in the finan- cial world will tell you the same thing. “So, I say, and.I honestly believe it, that the democratic party has ever brightening prospects for success at the coming elec- tions, which can only be tarnished by tak- ing a silly stand on the silver question. We all see how hopelessly divided the repub- licans are on that subject, and we can profit immensely by letting them keep up their straddle on the fence and taxing our decided stand on the side of sound money. And I repeat that a democrat who believes in Jefferson's principles cannot be any other than a sound money man. The s0- called democrats who follow the free sil- ver will-o’-the-wisp that will lead them into the bog and quicksand of natioral bankruptcy are really socialist-populists. That is their proper name.” ——E DR. WHITMAN'S ADVICE. We Talks to the Scholars at the East- ern High School. The students of the third and fourth-year classes of the Eastern High School heard a lecture yestesday by Dr. Whitman, pres- ident of Columbian University, on “Higher Education.” The pupils ¢ssembled for their regular ‘Thursday meet, which is held during the lest hour of school each Thursday, when after-school topics are discussed and an essay, prepared by one of the pupils, is read. = The subject assigned to Mr. J. Vernon Kelly, tke essayist of the occasion, was “The Relation of Education to the State,” which he read at the beginning of the hour. His paper was listened to with much in- terest, and at the conclusion he received applause from both Dr. Whitman and the pupils. Prof. C. M. Lacy Sites, the principal of the school, then introduced Dr. Whitman, who was heartily greeted. In the course of his address Dr. Whit- man advised first, to make sure of the things that are settled or fixed. When you go beyond your derth or arrive at a spir- itnal or intellectual unrest, grasp at and hold fast to the things which you have found true. Secondly, cultivate a sympa- thetic attitude for ell truths, and as you receive a new one be prepared to adjust it in your kingdom of truths, Thirdly, after having fixed these two points, be sure to lead yourselves high. Do not yield to the temptation of getting through your work too quickly, but take the necessary time for everything. Often men hurry through their work too quickly, and thereby become like a pin, in that they are no good when they lose their head. The value of a postage stamp, he said, is its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there, and so it is with men when they undertake anything. Go through the world with a pleasant look for every one, and you will generally get in return what you offer. For example, when you look in a Icoking glass it will, reflect just what you present to it. A good man will be surpris- ed at the number of.men like himself he can find in this world, while a bad man will be equally surprised at the number of bad men he can find. = Sent to the Reform School. Two boys, John W. Miller, white, and Roger Williams, colored, were in the Police Court today as idle ‘and incorrigible boys. The Miller boy had’ been sent home froth school several times, and his mother said she could not dovanything with him. Mrs. Williams said that her boy could not be managed, and the police said he was in- clined to be dishonest. ‘They were sent-to the reform school dur- ing minority. a Robberies Reported. . W.
