AMERICAN SHIPPING
LARGE NUMBER OF VESSELS IDLE. PROTECTION MAY BE DEMANDED. Received September 26, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, September 25. The San Franciaco correspondent of "The Times" reports that a determined demand may again be made to induce Congress to pass the Ship Subsidy Bill or some such measure for the protection of American shipping. Oakland Creek, says the correspondent, is full of ships which may never put to sea again. The Oceanic Steamship Company's steamers have been lying idle for two i years owing to the Company's inability to compete with British and Japanese vessels running between San Francisco and Australia. There are only five American ships now engaged in the trans-Pacific trade, concludes the correspondent.
