Fithian Opposes and Grosvenor sup-
ports the Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. Sin the House to-
day Mr.. Cutcheon OF Michigan noTed that
the House go into committee of the whole
for the consideration of the army appropri-
alton bill. This motion was defeated, and
the House went into committee OF tue whole
on the shipping bill An effort to secure
Limitation of the debate failed, and the de-
bate proceeded.
Mr. Fithian of Illinois opposed the meas
ure and inveighed against the system of
subsidies. He then proceeded to argue in
favor of the free ship policy aud policy of
abolishing restrictive navigation laws as
the best means of restoring the American
flag to its proper place upon the sea.
England had adopted that policy, and the
result was that she now commanded SO per
cent. of the tonnage of the world.
Mr.. Wheeler of Michigan spoke briefly in
faver of the bill.
SHOULD NOT BE PARTY QUESTION.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio said that it would
have been fortunate if this question could
have been considered from the standpoint
of American citizenship and American busi-
ness wisdom and integrity. It was un-
fortunate for question of this character
that it should be launched upon the House
by an assault upon one Of the great political
parties Of the country.
GRosvENoR PROVES INsINCERE.
Mr.. Grosvenor said that the opposition to
it had been based on the ground that 1t was
a republican measure. Why should that be
500 1t was the purpose of bill like this to
find a market for the products of American
labor. which had been produced under the
benign influence of protective tariff. So
this bill was proper corollary of the Nc
Kinley tariff bill. One built up American
products; the other furnished the means OF
transporting it to foreign markets. Pending
the conclusion of Mr.. Grosvenor's remarks
the committee arose, and the House adj
iouraed.

A NEW COMBINE.
1t is learned on good authority that nine.
toen OF the leading table glass ware manus
facturers OF Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia havo formed a combine with ths
object Of avoiding waste of money during
dull seasons. If at any time business should
be dull at one Of the factories that plant will
close down and transfer its orders to other
factories Should general dullness ensue,
the combine will operate as many factories
as are necessary to fill the demand. Each
factory will be assessed for general expenses
and the profits will be divided in propor-
ton to the size of the factories. No outside
working capital will be in the deal This
arrangement. it is expected, will bring
about uniform prizes, saving on
molds and a saving by shutting down the
big establishments that do not have enough
executive board will manage the concern.
The number of hands employed in the nine-
teen factories is over 5000, and the total
weekly pay roll is $780, 900.
