MERRITT, Postmaster. Cancellation of Visits Last Fall An- gered the Southerners. A special to the New York Times from Atlanta, Ga., say8: The city of Atlanta has deliberately snubbed Admiral Dewey on his southern trip, now in progress, because of the admiral’s action in canceling, at the eleventh hour, his acceptance of an invita- tion here last November. Just before Dewey left Washington for his tour through the south Senators Bacon and Clay and Representative Livingston of this district were given to understand that an invitation to the admiral to visit Atlanta would be immediately accepted. These gentlemen telegraphed Mayor Woodward and other prominent Atlantians to this effect, and from every one received the in- stantaneous answer that “We don’t want Dewey.” Mayor Woodward stated that the reason for this action was that last November the admiral had accepted an invitation to visit Atlanta, and the day before the date set wired that he was indisposed and could not come. He declares that the admiral in- sulted Brumby, his flag lieutenant, both liv- ing and dead, in refusing to attend that hero's homecoming demonstration here amd absenting himself from the latter's funeral.

Desire the Inclusion of Amendments Regarding Pare! se of For- clan Vessels. Representative Fitzgerald of Massachue setts, the ranking democratic member of the House merchant and marine commit- tee, has made the following statement re- garding the position of the democratic mi- nority on the shipping subsidy bil “I think that when the report submitted by the democratic minority on the ship- ping subsidy bill is presented it will be found that the members of that minority are in favor of proper legislation to build up the merchant marine of the country. The.members of the democratic minority realize, as well as thelr republican breth- ren, the chaotic condition of the American merchant marine at the present time, and they are just anxious to remedy the condition of affairs, “The present bill formed by the republi- can majority, while it is vastly superior to the original measure presented in the House and Senate, is yet far from satls- factory. The present shape of the meas- ure and the many good features that have been added to the bill since {ts first intro- duction can be charged up to the insistence of the democratic members that various portions should be amended. Two practl- cal amendments, however, which have been asked for by the democratic members, and to the support of which at least three of the republican members volunteered— @hough to make a majority in the whole committee—were defeated through the in- sistence of the ship owners’ trust and the Qictation of Senator Hanna, who told the republican members that under no con- sideration could either of the amendments be attached to the bill. Parchase of Foreign Vessels. “The first a provision to extend the time during which Americans could pur- chase foreign vessels for ancther year. This policy is outlined and favored in the re- port of Secretary Gage. In advocating this amendment before the committee I stated that I saw no reason why the privilege of buying foreign ships, which Involved at the same time the building of an equal amount of tonnage in American ship yards, should be restricted to the few persons and core porations who, being on the inside, and knowing that this bill probably would be- come a law, have purchascd foreign ves- sels and thereby secured a monopoly of this right. If it is a wise provision to al- low the purchase of foreign vessels because of the added work that would accrue to American ship yards, {t seems to me that it would prove still more advantageous to allow more foreign veasels to be purchased for a year at least on account of the tre- mendous increase that it would call for in building American ships In Amcrican ship yards. he second provision, allowing Amerl- vans to purchase foreign ships wherever they pleased, to place them under the American flag and operate them without any subsidy, was likewise defeated. It ts a well-known fact that a vast amount of British and Norwegian capital is invested year In the purchase of all kinds of ‘is, which operate between the differ- ent ports in the world, picking up cargoes where they can, and it is admitied on every side that this method of doing busi- ness furnishes vast opportunities of profi making to the parties interested. The Bri ish shipping today, the Increase of which has been so favorably commented on by © promoters of this bill, is largely be- tween foreign ports, and why Americans, when it does not interfere with the pay ment of subsidies, as would be the case If this amendment was added to the bill. should be deprived of the opportunity of investing capital in these ships, as well as increasing the opportunities of flying the American flag, employ seamen and build up the American merchant marine, is more that I ean understand. “There are various other features in tha bill that are obnoxious, which will be pointed out when the democratic minority members make their report. —_—__—__e-—_____.
