A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
Defeat OF the House Shipping Bii-The

tspecial telegram to the Dispatch.l

Especial telegram 70 the Dispatcn.l
WASHINGTON, February 27.-All of the
Virginia and North Carolina Democrats
voted on every roll-call against the ship
ping bill. They have been opposed TO this
measure because of its big subsidy fea-
lures and take the ground that the passage
OF the Farquhar or House bill would
have imposed too heavy burdens on
the taxpayers. The substitute bill
which was passed according to a
speech made in the House late tonight
by MIR. Springer, will take out of the Trea-
sury only one million dollars % year for ten
wears. whereas ne claimed that the bill
that was defeated would have required ex-
ponditures during the next fifteen years Of
not less than two hundred million dollars.
The Democrats loudly applauded these Mt
terances, and 10y their applause endorsed
the statement. The scenes to-day and to-
night have been exciting and dramatic,
and up to II o'clock this evening the gale
ries were crowded with intensely-in
toTeStod people.

IBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON. February 27.-Secretary
Proctor to-day sent 10 the Senate a report
from General franklin, president of the
Board of Managers OF the National Home
for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. in answer
to "a resolution inquiring whether larger
accommodations are needed for the in
mates Of the Hampton (Na.) Home, and
whether during the past winter any of the
inmates have been sheltered in tents. The
report shows that probably 100 men have
been sheltered, owing to want of accom-
modation IN the barracks; that the tents
are very comfortable, being provided with
floors and stoves, and that they afforded
as much room as the barracks. and that the
men are comfortable and would rather be
in tents than in the barracks.
General Franklin states that all build
ings that could possibly be used have been
utilized for the shelter of the soldiers, and
recommends that new barracks be built,
at an estimated cost of S3l 900.

A number of hands employed as drivers
who asked that their wages be increased TO

nortad 20 be twenty-one. These men an

Mr.. w. ii. Curtis moved that Sl.75 ce
raId all men who worked twelve hours
day. ,. ,..o o,,
Who oct SO per week received better pay
than o great many skilled mechanics VINO
worked for private parties.
Mr. Kelvin said several OF the cart force
had called upon him and talked about the
matter. Three builders had told him that
carnenters did not average Sl.5O per day
throuch the year. The men were paid all
they earned and more too, because they
were paid when they did not work on DAD
days. 1t was not q fact the men commenced
work at $50 A. NJ. and worked until 6:lb Z;
NJ Private parties work their drivers and
hands when they did not work. 1t was not
reasouable or right for councilmen TO vote
10 nav 81 10 per dey for pubic work when
they paid only Sl.50 per day for the same
class of work for themselves.
PAY SMALL ENOUGH.
Mr.. Curtis did not think 1t a question
,,hat this work could be done for. Nlno
dollars a week was too small a sum Tor
nan 10 live upon. 70 do so men were
forced 10 live upon less than actual neces-
stiles. A. os,;or
what he paid for q days labor. ne re-
sponded $i.25 for eight hours, ana that ne
J;d not pay them when they did not work.
AIR H. L.. Carter made the point that TINS
discnssion of wages was for nothing. III
had been proven that though the city paid
more per day than private parties, YET the
erading cost less than it did by contract.
DO NOT LIVE.
In answer 10 Mr.. Turpin. Mr.. Carter con-
4;nued that men only yegetated on cl.oo
