(New York) recently, a correspondent says:- A GRAND *The question of subsidy for our merchant marine is one that should interest every Ameri- can citizen, and those of us who have seen this very important branch of our, commercial life dwindle without any apparent effort on the part of our statesmen to check its all too rapid decline have been filled with the deepest regret. It cannot but fill with dinsay any thinking person to see our supremčáčy vanish before the systematic and continued aggression of foreign nations.
A New York daily which makes a specialty of marine information consistently oppose the.
| granting of subsidies to the American merchant marine, and one of the arguments advanced has been that the returns from investments of this nature have been so small that they would not interest the American investor.
This contention was embodied in a long article in that paper, and on the opposite cliset was a report of the Hamburg American Line slowing net earnings. for the previous year to have been to per cent, after charging large sums to depreciation and for betterments in the stupe of new vessels to take the place of those of its fleet which were becoming obsolete by reason of the march of improvements in'ship. building.
The inconsistency of this contention manifest to any thinking man, and the growth of the Hamburg-American Line no only amply, refutes this argument, but has done more to extend the commercial influence of Germany than have her wars of the last filly years; and n's we have reached the paint in our commercial career where we are compelled to seek, foreign markets, it butoves our Government to give very possible encouragement to American shipping and shipbuilding,
Another glaring inconsistency is the tex: ing of American baltoms used in trans-oceanic' traite, whereas, owing to treaties with foreign
Powers (Holland, for instance) boats of other nations are permitted to enter New York without paying a tonnage tax, while American vessels plying between America and foreign part: pay five assessments a year, based on a rate of six conts a ton on the net register tonnage of their vessels.

· THE ATLANTIC-YACHT RA E
THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB'S",
QUANDARY,
That unconquerable British champion, Sir Thomas Lipton, is eager to make another, attempt to "if" the America's Cup, says a leading New York paper, but the New York Yathl Club will not listen to him. That is a crude summary of the situation, which seems
to call for some explanation. The significant fact is the history is that since the last contest for the old Cap, the New York Yacht Club hás adopted a new rule of measurement for lime, allowances.

Several yachts designed under the new rule have already shown themselves to be fast and weatherly craft, quite able to cope with the so. called racing machines, Sir Thomas Lipton desires to come after the Cup with a yacht of TERRACE, this new type. He believes that the limit of
lightness, not to say flimsiness, of construction in the old type has been reached; and he holds that under the new rule the challenger, which 'must, be built strongly enough to cross the Atlantic, has a fairer chance. He therefore der sires to challenge under the new rule.
