THE GENEVA AWARD BILL.

AN INTERESTING DEBATE IN THE SENAfE-NAR
PREMIUMS on VEssELS-sENATORs BLAINE AND
THURMAN CONIR0vERr EACH OTHER.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON March 29-'Ihe debate in the Sen
ate upon the Geneva Award bill this afternoon
lasted an hour. and was really interesting fact
due entirely to its unexpectedness Ii bad been ar
ranged that the bill should be temporarily laid
aside but before giving his assent TO this Senator
Thurman in whose charge il is, wished to say zone
word upon it. This word proved TO be reply to
an argument made by Senator HOar two or three
weeks ago, in behalf of the " war premium claim
ants.
Senator Thurman asked fit was to be supposed
that American business men were such
fools as 10 pay war premiums, or even to con-
time in business, after it ceased to be
profitable to do SO, All these claimants had
done, lie declared, was to pay their war
premiums" and add the amount to The prices of
their goods. Their claims had not only not been
taken into consideration at Geneva, bat had been
expressly refused recognition by the arbtrators.
This brought Senator Blaine to his feet Senator
Hoar being absent, and with the earneStness winch
always characterizes him, whatever the importance
Of the subject IN hand, he proceeded to enighten
the Senator from Ohio, for whose knowledge OF law
lie entertained the greatest respect but whose IN
struction IN commercial and especially nautical az
fairs, evidently limited. lie sad that the
American ship-owners had paid the war premiums,
and had been compelled 10 do SO in order to get
carg0es. The American sbip-Owner was compelled
to cut down his prices for freight below those de-
Iuanled by the British shp-owner in order
10 secure cargoes, and many of them We're
squeezed TO death by the accumulation of hardships.
Mr.. Thurman asked how it was If they were
crushed to death, that they had presented claims.
Some shipowners chose TO be their own insurers.
They were really entitled to indemnity" for tho
risk they ran rs Were those who pad the war
premium, even though the vessels of both came TO
port in safety.
senator Blaine said that theory, if carried into
practice would be a novelty If two men, sound
and hearty had enlisted for the war, and the one
had lost a leg while the other had returned home
nnhurt, the Senator from Ohio would ask what
superior right has the OnelegGed man to pension
Did not both run the same riS kf Senator Blame
said that the United States, and not the claimants,
had withdrawn the war premium calms at Geneva,
and the Government should therefore be the last
tho transaction to plead t&sat t'S si"'f'1s
had been rejected. Every man. he declared, VINO
had paid war premium did 80 IN the firm benet
that the money would he reimbursed TO him some
time and the scrupulOus care with which the docu-
mems in proof of payment had been drawn ana
preserved we're proofs of this fact.
Senator Thurman begau TO reply, but was COM
pclled to dosist in consequence OF an attack OF

Nl
DAY.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRBUNE.l
WAsTINGrON, March Ex-senator Kernan, after
n hard struggle, succeeded in getting the floor this
morning for his bill in relation to the Worlds Fair
at New-York The bill was read through, and the
verbal amendments proposed by the committee
were adopted.
Senator thurman said that the bill was in his
opinion, the embodiment OF a very clumsy plan to
secnre the object desired. There was TOO much
machinery. Two Commissioners and twOGlternates
from each state and Territory, besides Executive
Committees, Finance Committees and stockholders,
were provided for. The way to achieve success. he
believed was 70 place the project In the hands
of few practical men. and pay them
sufficiently to secure their entire attention to the
matter In addition. he wanted to know what
clause of the Constitution gave Congress the right
to act in the matter.
senator Herman said that the bill was drawn bv
persons who expected to devote their time and
money carrying It INTO effect and II II was faulty
the fault was theirs. The measure ~ as they pre-
for TO have IT, and they had drawn 1t after full con
sdcTdtiOg.
The morning hour expired and the bill went over.
ID will probably be passed Tomorrow.
