The Sheriff evicted nineteen families OF
striking coal miners at Walston and
Adrian to-day and seven on Saturday.
There was no excitement. The miners ap-

The Subsidy Bill.
elfnrnin IN ihf Renfefex


WASHINGTON, January 27.-The Re-
publicans have determined to try 10 make
some political capital by passing bill to
literally subsidizs American steamships.
For some days the House Committee on
Merchant Marine has been taking testi-
mony from interested parties in favor of a
subsidy, and Chairman Farqubsr frankly
admits that they mean to frame and re-
port a bill. He says it will have
the support of some Democrats and that it
will grant subsidies to every existing
American steamship line. As the Rspub-
lican Senate has for several years passed a
subsidy bill only to have it defeated in a
Democratic House, the subsidy advocates
now that the House is Republican are very
continent. President Harrison has de-
clared in favor of subsidies.
