WASHINGTON, Feb 2S.-The Steam ship
Subsidy bill had an experience without
precedent in the House. 1t was defeated,
reconsidered, passed, and recommitted
all in one session, amid scenes of continu-
Gus excitement. On the preliminary test
vote the the advocates of the House sub
stitute for the Senate Subsidy bill had 1t
all their own way.
They voted down Fithian's Free Ship
amendment by 172 to 1T. When the
question came up on the third reading

publicans voted with the Democrats
against the bill and three Democrats
voted in it's favor.
MIR. Cannon of Illinois moved that the
bill be recommittcd to the Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries, with in
structions to that committee to report
back forthwith a bill-similar to the
Senate bill on the same subject-to pro-
vide for ocean mail service between the
United States and foreign ports. This
bill is identical with the substitute
which Mr.. Gambler of Massachusetts, de-
sired to offer, except that it eliminates
the free ship clause of the latter meas
ure.
After much discussion the Senate bill,
as amended, was passed-yeas 140, nays
120. Mr.. Farquhar moved that a confer.
ence be ordered.

Henry w. Blair was born at Campton,
a small village in Belknap County, N.
H, Dec. 9, 1884. He received only a
common school education, and after
reading law with William Leverett, a
distinguished local practitioner, was ad-
mitted to the bar in May, 1859, and be-
gan practice at Plymouth.
His first official position was that of
Prosecuting Attorney of Grafton County,

term, being succeeded by Evarts w.
Farr, who died during his second term.

States Senator to succeed Charles II.
Bell, and took his seat June 90, 1879. He
was reelected in 1885, and was defeated
for denomination last month by DR.. J. n.
Gallinger.
Senator Blair will be chiefly remem.
bered by his urgent advocacy of the bill
for Federal aid to education in the
Southern States, which has been twice
| passed by the Senate, but defeated in the
House, once by vote and once by non.
| action.
He has been chairman of the Commit.
| tes on Education and Labor of the Sen.
ate. He is fine orator, has a very
| genial manner and is a poor man in the
| matter of worldly goods.

Appointed This Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. est is generally
accepted here, as a fact, that United
States Treasurer Huston has resigned
and that j. A. Lemcke, will be appointed
as his successor. None of the parties in
terested will authorize any statement on
the subject and the truth of the rdmors
cannot be either officially denied or af-
f1rmed. 1t is thought, however, that
day. He is in the city.
The reasons assigned for Mr.. Huston's
resignation are both political and social
dissatisfaction with the administration
in that he and his family were not prop.
erly recognized in either respect.

able comment among those who were in
