SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
s -^ AMERICAN LEGISLATION. SECOND-CLASS VESSELS. SIXTEEN SHILLINGS A MILE. By Telegraph.— Press -Vssooiahon.- Copyright. (Received February 26, 8.36 a.m.) NEW YORK, 25th February. The Ship Subsidy Bill introduced in the United Slates Senate by Senator Gallinger, authorises the payment of 16s a milo for tho outward voyage to second-class vessels running to Australasia and the Philippines. This is virtually the same rate as is at present applicable to first-class vessels. The President, in his Message to Congress, practically urged the onactraent of a new Shipping Bill, fathered by Senator Gallinger, whose chief object at present is to secure the creation of new mail lines to South America and across the Pacific. To secure a subsidy from the Government and to create a favourable public opinion Senator Gallinger has declared that the United States could largely distance Europe as caterers for the trade of South America if new direct lines were organised, and tho same contention, he Buys, rpplies to tho Pacific.
