Seeking Information for Legislation to Raise the Standard of Ameri can Shipping. MILWAUKEE. July 21.?The joint con gressional commission merchant marine opened its Milwaukee,'Jiparlng today in the United States court r6om. The commission Is represented by United States Senator Galllnger and Representatives Minor and Spicht. Mayor Rose welcomed the delega , tion to Milwaukee, but refrained from enter | Inglnto a discussion of the subject, deeming it a political one. Senator Gallinger re [ sponded, explaining the objects of the com j mission. He said that he hoped the in vestigation now In progress would lead to legislation that would raise the standard of American shipping to the front rank where It belonged. Julius Bleyer, associate editor of the Evening Wisconsin, who has given much study to the subject of marine, read a lengthy paper on the development of lake shipping. \ The Foreign Trade. On the question of merchant marine en gaged in foreign trade, he Indorsed the views of Thomas Clyde of the Clyde line of steamers, given before the hearing In New York city. Continuing, he said. In part: "It has been said the extra cost of the American ship would not deter Investment in shipment for the foreign trade If the cost of operating the American ship were not higher than the cost of operating for eign ships. Tills is probably true; but a subsidy plan might be made to compre hend an interest return for a fixed period? an annual rebate large enough to pay a nominal rate of interest on the extra in vestment. plus a percentage for deprecia tion. Rebate Suggested. "Roughly, a rebate representing a 4 per cent rate of Interest on" the extra capital and a 5 per cent rate on the same extra capital to cover depreciation, ought to put an American Investor on an even footing with the foreigner so far as tne ship is concerned "If a rebate of this kind were provided it cculd be limited to a fixed term of years, as it Is possible that with a revival there would be established gradually a systematic standardization of hulls, like that which has obtained in the ship building trade of Great Britain, and In eonsequence ships might eventually be built as cheaply on this side of the Atlantic as in foreign yards.This element of the proposition Is within the scope of the protective tariff idea?that of building up struggling industries. Extra Cost Problem. "The problem of extra cost of operation is one that will probably resist ultimate solu tion. It cannot be solved unless American wages decline to the level of European wages, or foreign wages increase to the level of American wages. As neither of these changes are within the bounds of ra tional expectation, the disadvantage in the matter of operation must be regarded as permanent. As the aim of protection to American Industries is to provide a barrier against the foreign competitor equal to the difference between foreign and American wages, a rebate is suggested in the case of shipping based upon a close estimate of the percentage of increased cost of operation. Rebate Based on Expense Account. "For instance, after a vessel owner had presented his statement as to cost and re ceived his annual rebate in interest upon the extra capital invested, plus an allow ance for depreciation, he could be allowed a rebate based on his expense account for the year, or a rebate per head based on his shewing as to the number of men em-, ployed during the year ami the number of days of employment This would keep the subsidy or rebate down to actual losses, and obviate payment by the government for the time during which ships are lying idle. "The mail service bounty could be extend ed on the principle upon which compensa tion for mail train service is based. Speed is costly, and in order to insure it a liberal price should be paid the mail service." NEW RAILWAY TERMINAL. Site Selected for Improvement at Cost of $2,500,000. I CHICAGO, July 21?A site for a general | terminal of the Illinois Tunnel Company's system of underground electric railways has been secured by the company at a cost of $2,500,000 through the purchase of the property on the west bank of the Chicago river, north of Taylor street, now occupied by the Albert Dickinson Company's seed warehouses and owned by the Chicago Dock Company. The tunnel company will proceed imme diately to remodel the property, and prom ises to have its lines in use by November for general transportation under the streets of much traffic now carried on the surface. On all sides of the purchased tract, which measures 4<M feet north and south and 700 feet east and west, are the terminals of trunk lines. The property has connection with all the railroads and is adjacent to the tunnel company's large c-onduit under Taylor street, which connects the tunr.els under the business district of the south side with the west side tunnels. The most important significance of this practical completion of the tunnel com pany's equipment will be the probable end ing of street congestion in downtown dis tricts by heavy teaming.

These passengprs landed at Stornoway in two of the ship's boats after untold suffer ing and hardships, but all looked well when seen today. The Aurania also brought seven members of the Salvation Army returning from the congress held at London recently. Capt. Dow of the steamer reported that when about ten miles east of Fire Island last evening he sighted a craft on fire. The vessel, he said, was about 200 feet in length. He thought It might have been a barge either oil or coal laden. A steamer was close to the burning craft when sighted by the Aurania. r *- >->?
