Proposed Legislation for an Auziliary Navy Ocean Mail Service. Some of the. Strong Features of the Measure Set Forth by Fred S. Samuels. There is naturally widespread interest in this country, particularly in the twenty- two States bordering on the ocean, in the proposed Congressional measure ‘‘to pro- vide for an auxiliary navy ocean mail service, and to promote commerce,” and the time seems near at hand when the Government of the United States will no longer sit supinely indifferent to 1ts mari- time interests, and when it will rise up and spurning the apathetic policy of the present proceed to develop ana hold to the benefit of its people that boundless wealth of the seas which is by nature largely theirs, An able treatise on the proposed act has been written by Fred- erick 8. Samuels of this City, under the title, **Our Merchant Marine.” Assuming (says Mr. Samuels) that the United Statos has at last awakened to the absolute necossity of legislating in favor of shipping; that it recognizes the advantage of furnishing mesns of employment to thousands of artisans in suipyards and in all the kindred trades; of opening to the American youth a seafaring carcer, with its possibilities for earning & live- 1ihood, with prospects for promotion, carrying witl, it the education in discipline, nautical anc engineering affairs necessary to form effi- ciejit crews for the manning of our navyin event of war; of opening to the merchant, the farpier and the manufacturer new trade fields whith now follow the foreign flag; of offering to the capitalist, large or small, new oppor- tunities for investment; and last but not least in importance, of retaining in this country a por:ion at least of the hundreds of millions of Am-riean gold which flows annually into the pockets of foreign ship-owners in the form of farss and freights—it only then becomes neces- sary to decide on what form legisiation should taks to accomplish these results. When we launch out in the attempt to re- store the American flag on the ocean, the lan adcpted must be such as will siimulate the construetion of speedier and better steam ves- sels. for the various trades than our competi- tors. There must be & reward for regularity, frequency and speed of voyages. Faster time in the transmission of mails, vs ble freight, specie and passengers, means diversion to this country of & vast portion of the business which now flows past us, influenced and assisted by the liberal subsidies and bounties psid by foreign Governments to their vessels. * Owing to the numberless opportunities which have presented themselves for the de- velopment of our internal resources, we have been ignoring the necessity of pushing our commercial relations with foreign countries, to the end that we might avail ourselves to the utmost of the advantage which our vast re- sources give us. The result is that we are now confronted with the fact that Europe has, by peaceful methods, i.e., by furnfshing trans- portation, secured almost the entire trade of South America, while we have contented our- selves with reading the “Monroe doctrine” to such nations as have manifested any intention of seizing its soil. Of what advantage to us is the position of protector to our southern neighbors if they are gradually being Europeanized by the inexor- able laws of trade? Not a single steamship under the American flag is employed in trade with South American States other than Vene- zuela and Colombia; and on the Pacific Coast not & solitary steamer leaves the United States for a South American port. Mr. Samueis shows the total inadequacy of the laws now in effect bearing nupon our shipping interests, and ‘maintains that the essential festures of any proposition for the restoration of our flag upon the ocean must contemplate: First—Some consideration in return for Gov- ernmental support. Second—Reasonable security for the capital invested and labor employed against changes in administrative policies. Third—Freedom in the selection of trades in which vessels may engage without vitiating their right to compensation. Fourth—No discrimination in favor of any individual or corporation. Fifth—It must be liberal in its provisions to indnce immediate results. The proposed remedial bill has been drawn with a view of meeting the foregoing require- ments, and while it embodies some of the best features of the act of March 8, 1891 [*To pro- vide for ocean mail service between the United States and foreign ports and to promote com- merce”] it differs radically from others, partic- ularly in the elimination of the mail-contract system, which in practice subordinates the shipping interests to the opinion of the Post- master-General. The proposed bill provides for the free transportation of the United States mail to foreign countries; for the transporta- tion at half the regular rates of ‘all naval officers, troops, seamen or supplies to or from foreign ports; for the carrying on each sieamship of one American-born boy apprentice for each 1000 tons registered tonnage, such boy to be educated in the duties of seamanship, etc.; that all steam- ships shall be of iron or steel and so con- structed as to enable them to be promptly and economically converted into auxiliary naval cruisers. The steamships are to be divided into four classes, according to rate of speed and amougt of tonnage, the com- pensation ranging from $5 to $1 per nauti- cal mile by the shortest practicable route for each outward voyage. Such steamers may be taken and used by the United States as transports or cruisers upon pay- ment to the owners of the fair value at the time of the taking, and if there is a disa- greement as to the fair value between the United Statesand the owners of the vessel it shall be aetermined by impartial ap- praisement. ‘With reference to the question of security for capital invested and labor employed against changes of administration the pro- posed act authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to enter into contract with the owner or owners of each steamship ap- proved under the terms of this act (which contract shall designate the classification and compensation), and that contract is to remain in force fora period of ten years, always provided that the requirements of the act are complied with. Such a measure offers to the country an auxiliary navy, always ready in time of war, while enriching the country in times of peace. The annual cost of maintaining a first-class cruiser amounts to not less than $250,000; this amount of money would support a fleet of merchant steam- Ry . The liberal conditions of this bill would stimulate ship-building to such an extent that the cost of construction would shortly be lowered so much as to enable the ship- owsier to operate with less support from the Government. What a high tar'ff has done for steel rails a liberal subsidy can do for ships. With having our share of the ocean trade, there would come the re- tention in this country of a large portion of the millions in gold paid to England for transportation, besides the diversion to this country of trade which now flows past us under foreign flags. Mr. Samuels concludes his paper with the following comprehensive paragraph: The cost to the Government of this law, were it $10,000,000 per annum, would be triv- ial in comparison to the benefits it would be- stow. Ithas been estimated that 132 different industries contribute to the building and equipment of & steamship. These industries in turn have others dependent upon them, end in addition to this is the direet labor em- ployed in construction and navigation. Could protection be afforaed to any other industry that would be so far-reaching and beneficial in effect? Couid any National enterprise within the scope of constitutional legislation be sug- gested that could compete with more favor for congressional action than this? A law that Xnows no section, no class, no single industry, and which will infuse new lite and patriotism throughout the length and breadth of the land, cannot be measured in the scales againstap- propristions demanded by Congressmen for their backwoods constituency, or by the emount of protection accorded to a syndicate of monopolist manufacturers. The law must be as liberal as the grandeur of its object ae- mands, and its cost in operation will return to the people through widely diversified chan- nels.

Will Take Leave of the Old Mission-Street Chapel This Morning. The New Site Faces the Panhandle. The Church Building Will Cost Fu'ly $16,000. For the last time the little chapel on Mission street, near Third, which over twenty-five years ago first housed a wor- shiping congregation, will be used this morning for services by the Howard _Yrubyteri-n Church. There will be noth- ing cbaracteristic in the services, but to those members of the congregation who first worshiped in the little edifice when it was situated near First and Natoma streets, then within easy reach of the there will be a touch of pathos in their last | farewell to the little chapel. | ‘Whatever sadness may be occasioned by | such reminiscences, however, .should be | more than dispelled by the thought of the handsome new edifice which the congre- | gation will occupy a few weeks from to-day. | The new church building at the corner of | Baker and Oak streets is now completed, | and it is one of the most beautiful structures of the kind in the city. Its location is superb, and the price paid | for the lot, $18,000, is not dear when tne attractions of the spot are considered. Im- mediately opposite the church is the en- trance to the Park panhandle. This insures an open prospect, and sur- rounding the church are fine residence | properties. The edifice itself is of rare | architectural beauty. In its construction a view has been had to future extensions, but present beauty has not been sacrificed to this, and the edifice as it stands to-day is @ finished and complete structure. There is an aspect of solidity about it which does not belie the facts, for it is| constructed of gray stone. The broken ashler work gives the building a most pleasing appearance. | ‘Within a more cosy meeting place could not be imagined. The auditorium will accommodate 500 persons, so arranged | that they can be addressed from the pulpit without calling for any vocal strain. | At each side is a partially inclosed | gallery, which will be hung with elegant | portieres and will be used as a classroom | when not needed as an adjunct to toe | auditorium. A feature of the church is the beautiful glazing. The windows are stained a iight amber, with just colored fizures enough to give an artistic effect without retarding a flood of soft, mellow light. Beautiful chandeliers are provided for lighting, and Baily reflectors will send back a brilliant glow from the electric lights.

The large edifice on | Mission street, which the congregation for- merly used, has been sold and is now being torn down. They still own the chapel ad- jomning the old church, at which services will be held this morning for the last time. They will continue to maintain a | Sunday-=chool there. 2 | The region where the new church is lo- cated is particularly deficient in church edifices.
