B, Morten, commis sioner of navigation, for the year ending J one 8( 1888, shows thst the total tonnage efthemuntry required te be Inetuded In his statistics amounts te 4,191,015 tens, aad that our merchant marine la second only te that or Great Britain. The omBalerteaer remarks tbat se much baa beta aald as te tbe dsesy of our merchant marina tbat perhaps a large proportion of the people of this country have the Impression that there la but Utile tonnage lelt belonging te the United Slates. , t Tbla Impression Is erroneous. While the amount Is net se Urge aa it aheuld be, con sidering tbe growth et tbe oeuntry, and while It Is true that the foretgn-gelng ton nage le deereaslng, the domestic or coast wise tonnage Is inereatlng. The tonnage of tbe United Statea probably fxeeeds the aggregate tonnage of Italy, France and Russia, and equals that of tbe whole world, excluding a few of tbe prlnelpal countries. Since last year there has been a material increase In the vessels lu the coasting trade, end there Is geed reason ter anticipating a further Increase during the next year. Could a similar prediction be made regard ing the registered tennsge trading abroad, It would be pleasing te anon as nave the shipping Interests of the United States at heart. The truth Is, however, says be, that there la little reason te hope for any consid erable Inereaee In tbe foreign going tonnage while tbe law remalna as at present The tennsge of the United States In the fereten trade continues te slewlv decrease. In 1860 sueh tonnage waa 2.318,353 tens. List yesr, for the first time, It waa reduced te six figures, vis: 989,413 tens. . The ship building of the United States for tbe next year or two will be aided very largely by the construction el Iren and steel veaaels for the naval servl. Tbe vatsels built In the United States last year amounted te 218,080 tens, this amount representing 67,037 tone mere then tbe tennsge constructed the prevleui year. Thfl Iren and stent vesaa built amounted te 86,719 tens. The Increase In the tonnage built en tbe lakes during the last year, sa oempsrnd with that of the previous year, equals 79 per cent The amount built en the Western rivers does net compare favor ably with that et previous years, there having been a decrease lu eaeh et tbe last three years. In regsrd te the quarrel with Canada, the commissioner says thst It seems that tbe time has new arrived when retaliation is In order, and the Canadians taught that two can play at the gsme or obstruction or the laws or trade and comity. It le plain tbat tbe Canadians should allow our vessels, permitted under our laws te visit tbelr perta for commercial pu poses, the privi leges unusually given by foreign govern, ments In sueh eases, or tbat very decided measures should be taken te lay a burden at leaat as beavy ou Canadian business In the United States. Hew tba Bias Laws Hheuld Be Amended.

We arrived about 7 o'clock. I pre OMded up the river end found a large fleet all anchored, at Hale's Point, except one schooner I saw coming down the river. I bearded her, expeettng te find unculled oysters. I did net find any. We went up tba river and just opposite Judge Robin son's found two or three beats at work dredging, two of tbem pretty close to gether. I blew te the brat beat In haul down Its Jib. The ci plain paid no attention te It 1 then called te htm, and he still refused te haul down his jib. I tbnu opened fire en hlra with rifles, wbnu be halloed for quarter. I stepped firing, bearded bim, lowered his sails, anchored him and told him te remsln where he was. Just te the windward of this fUet en Piney Point br, were 15 or 20 dredgeia at work. They started up the river. The first vessel I saw ran ashore, I firing tiilee at blm all tbe time. Jiiat entalde of him I baarded a aoheaner, found unculled oysters, atrested the crew, put a men aboard aud atsrteti down the river. The ethers of tbe fleet that was eastward started down the rlrer, while I waa boardlegtbese vessels te tbe windward, 1 followed and passed them and anchored two mera beats.

I ordered rifles Urea across their bows, Tbey promptly returned the lira I then hauled right scrers their bow s, barely avoiding oelllslon. I was afraid I would get tangled lu tbelr bowsprits. When 1 get the osnnen te bear In the center et tbe fleet 1 gave tbe word te Hre. She was leaded with grape and Mutater and the lead struck bait tuabt high, doing great damage te spars, riggings aud salts. As seen as I fired, tbe dredgers rattled away at me heavily again. X bad te keep the men down below tbe bulwarks te prevent tbem from being shot This gave me great difficulty in leading the cannon, I get ber leaded again and ran right under tbelr sterns and let ber go again in tbe eentercftbe fleet This shot rsked and tore tbe sella, we being tighten topeftueiu and only 20 feet from tbem.
