WASHINGTON. May 27.-Mr. Dingley, from
the committee on conference, submitted the
report Of the committee on the shipping bill.
Mr.. Breckenridge, Of Kentucky, thought
consideration OF the report should be post
poned until the members OF the house had an
opportunity TO examine the provisions OF the
bin carefully. The question involved In the
Frye amendment was broader than at the first
blush 1t appeared TO be. 1t not only conferred
a privilege, but imposed Q duty upon the presi-
UeuC 10 WltnutAW from foreign Vessels CERTAIN
commercial privileges when those privileges
had been denied 10 American vessels In the
country In which such foreign vessels be-
longed.
Mr.. Dunn said the provision did not apply
TO the Il fisheries question,
Mr.. Breckenridge thought II that was true
there was less necessity for haste In passing
the bill, because there was no other pending
question relative to commercial privileges
between the United states and any other
country.
After some discussion the statement was
made that the pending proposition was simply
To arm the president with the right TO deprive
Canadians Of privileges OF which they deprived
cttizens Of the United States. The report was
then agreed TO without division.
Rssuming consideration Of the oleomarga-
rine bin In &C mm!ttee OF the whole. MIR. aniel
moved to reduce to special tx on retail
dealers In oleomargsr!ne fro m $48 I'd S5.
Mr.. Hit opposed the amendment, believing
that the ludgmen; OF the committee on agri-
culture In fixing the rate OF tax might he re-
lied upon, but without action the committee
rose and the house a adjourned.
