HiU, president of the Northern Securities company and of the Great Northern railroad appeared this afternoon as a witness before the merchant marine commission which is Investigating the causes of the decline of American shipping In order to suggest mess-ure-a for remedial legislation. "The first thing necessary," said Mr. Hill, la to create a desire in the IMKiple of America to own ships. It is a purely commercial question. If there Is a profit in 11. people will engage in It. Our condition on the sea as a nation appears hard to meet. On land in spite of high rates of labor the United States' has been working nut a system. What the country nants Is a market. Oulslde of our agricultural pro ducts, grain, oil there are a very few things we can export because cost of production are so high. Wo cannot ell them. "They can build ships in England much cheaper than here. Citlsccna of other countries have owned ship for the last forty years to a greater extent than we. I have had experience In building two ships and I dont want any more. "I would rather undertake to build one thousand miles of railroad than two ships. It has taken four years Instead of two. If we are going to buy a merchant marine out of the treasury of the country it wont last long. We must give people confidence to Invest "In Japan they have built up a large marine; they have protected tonnage but I do not remember the details. "Other business on the Pariftc Is bard; wo hare to compete with all nallona and they "are fighting very hard for the Oriental trade. And 1 think that we have placed obstructions In the way of this trade. We cannot compete with ships of other nations. We hare been forced i out. ' I dont think you will make much of a success of buying a merchant marine. It wont stay with yon. There does not seem to be much disposition on the part of the people to go into shipping." In answer to a question of Representative McDermott, Mr. Hill said that his two big ships cost 10 to 20 per cent more to build here tbnn ahmmd adding: We have very few sailors, even on "Jnhnnn men. It is believed there will be a minority report, on resolutions as well as from other ctiimiUer tomorrow. WEATHER BUREAU'S CROP DROWNED KILLED CHILD ! reeovereU.

May 24. The 'revelation of the coal trust at last started. has methods On April 4. the Supreme Court of the United Slates decided that H caret's attorney, Clarence J. Shearn, had the right to demand answers to his questions relating to the contracts between the railroads and operators, by which contracts. It Is alleged, the coal trust will be established as a fact and will be proved to exist in violation of the Sherman anti trust law. In its decision ttie Supreme court directed that E. B. Thomas, president of the Iehigh Valley company, and W. H. Truesdale of the Delaware ft Ijicakawanna answer questions regarding the coal rates at tide, transportation to the tide'water and the manner of preparing price circulars. The decision also compels tho Temple Iron company and other operatlrig companies to produce In open court their contracts with the carriers. Mr. Baer was asked to produce the concerts between the Temple Iron company and Simpson ft Watkins nf Srrsn'on; dated Febrnsry 27, 1899. This the witness did, together wth copies of other contracts. The copies were filed as evidence. Prior to the Temple company agreement, Simpson ft Watkins, sstd Mr. Baer, operated the mines or leases. The mines were owned, the witness t hought, by the railroads, who carried the coal. The Temple Iron company directly sells no coal except locally at the mines, the witness said. Mr. Baer could not recall the price of coal per ton for mining. He said the to month and cot varied from month year to year, but had been higher since the strike commission decision titan before thal time.

"How are we going to get back merchant marine, "aked Mr. McDermott. If you are willing to put a tonnage on all that goes out of the country even to new markets, I think yon would get the ships.

Mr. tibearn read from a statement previously admitted In evidence and prepared by the Ontario ft Western railroad, showing that the published coal freight tariff from January, 1897. to August, 1903, was higher than the freight tariff actually received by tiie carrier. Mr. Walter said he was president of the Lehigh Valley Coal company while h was president of the railroad company. For tide wafer coal, the railroad paid the coal, company from fifty to sixty per cent of the Tide water prices. The coal companys production cost was on a basis of sixty per cent for the miner and 40 per cent to the company, the witness said, and in 1901 the proportion waa changed to 65 and 35 per cent Mr. Shearn sought to show by the witness that the Ihlgh Valley mad rebated to the Lehigh Valley Coal company and practically greatly reduced the carrying rate, but Mr Walters memory was a blank as to details. He made the that the coal company paid the published tariff rstes-Mr- . Shearn asked If It waa net true that if the published rates were paid the Lehigh Valley Coal company would lose money. Mr. Walter answered .affirmatively and said that the coal company borrowed from the railroad company. Mr. Walter said that the railroad company owned practically the coal company stock, the former company lost finally, and not the coal company. where profit was Affected by freight tariff adjustment. Mr. Baer was recalled In the after noon.
