lsPKorAL TO THE APPEAL.l

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The AmeIl-
can Shipping League metst Williard's
Hall, in this city, yesterday, for the
purpose Of reorganization and to in
augurate more vigorous and effective
measures to promote the shipping in
terests. They strongly advocate the
Pacific and other miil subsidies, and
the pas age Of the''Negley b,n, (which
grants subsidy Of 80 cents Per regis
tered ton for each Thousand miles
travelled by merchant vessels OF the
United States. Ia the debates the
administration of the Democratic
party and Congressman Dunn's Ship
ping Committee we're severely crit.
cisgd and denounced for their opposi-
ton to subsidies. To empbssiz) uheii
hostility to Mr.. Dunn, who is very
finn in his opposition to sll subsidies,
they made Gen. Dandridge McRSe, oi
Arkansas, president OF tne associstior,
and Gen. D. G. Govan, Mr.. Dunn's
competitor for Congress, yice.presi'
dent. Gen. McRae strongly favors
subsidies aud the inference is thai
Govsn does also, and that the subsidy
is to be sharply pressnt d throughout
the country this year, ard especially
in Arkansas, where the chairman Of
the shipping committee resides, and il
a candidate for reelection. A COM
mittee represt nting the league called
upon Dunn today and presented a
copy of their resolution urging the
passage of the "Negley bill" Mr. Dunn
regards the appointment of Gen.
Govan, his C ompetitor to the vice
presidency Of this league, as q detla.
ration of war upon him by the league,
because Of his hostility TO their sub
sidy measure, and says hA is rea3y to
meet them and heir candidate on
that issue.
THE PAN-ELKcTRIC INVESTIGATION.
1t is probable that the special com.
mittee, composed OF nine members OF
the House OF Representatives, with
Mr.. Boyle, Of Pennsylvania, as chair
man, appointed to investigate the or
ganization and affairs of the Pan Elec-
tic Telephone Comp ny, will submit
its report 10 the House within Cay
or 20, possibly tom rrow The report
Of the minority, signed by all the Re-
publican members OF the committee,
was completed Two or three weeks ago,
but it was only this wesk that Mr..
Boyle compile ed the views that
are subscribed by all OF the
five Democratic members, and
which constitutes the majority
report. 1t is intended that there shall
be final meeting of the full commit
tee before the reports a'e submitted to
the House, at which meeting the re-
ports will be read, so that there will
be no further ques ion as to their rfgu-
larity or legitimacy. The report oi
the minority will, it is said, comment
on the testimony OF Senator Harris,
Attorney General Garland and Solicit
or General Goode, and characterize
their manner as Witnesses rs suspi-
cious and evasive. The majority re-
port justifes every action az being
that OF private citizen, and finds nc
impropriety in their action.
THE PENSION EXAMINATION.
The Senate Committee on the Ex'
psnditure of fublic Money continued
the investga ton of Commissioner
Black yesterday morning,in connection
with the Gaze of Congress ssmsn L. O
Houk, which was taken up q week
ago. The Commissioner said the
medical board OF the Office said there
was no disability. The arrearages paid
in the case amounted to $4,000.
THE oLEoMARGARINE BILL.
The absence of Secretary Miller from
the city is delaying sction by the
Senate Agricultural Committee on the
oleomargarine bill, and the committee
will not meet until next week.
