OCEANIC Line SUBSIDY BILL.
SENATOR ELKINS ADVOCATES
ITS PASSAGE.
The Canadian Pacific Road the Enemy
of the Transportation Interests
of This Country.

WASHINGTON, April Am the re-
cent discussion of the proposed subsidy
tC the Oceanic Steamship Line in the
postoffice bill Senator Elkins made a
speech in regard to which he has since
received many letters and kilograms.
1t was in advocacy of measure he in
troduced some time ago, and now known
as the Elkins bill, to place a discrimi-
mating duty of 10 per cent. ad valorem
on all goods imported to this country
/ in vessels not sailing under the Ameri-
can flag.
This proposition was incorporated in
the Massa chusetts Republican State
platform last week, and Mr.. Elkins is
urging it's adoption as a plank of the st.
Louis platform.
In his speech Elkins paid his respects
to the CANADIAN Pacific Railway as fol-
lows This Canadian Pacific is the
National enemy of the transportation
interests of the United States, and
stands to-day as our greatest COM
mercial antagonist. 1t violates our in
terstate commerce law with complacent
Indifference, it cuts rates, and it takes
freights from our Pacific railroads in
which the United States has direct in
terest. It haulS more cheaply from ST.
Louis and other interior points in our
country by way Of Canada to Oregon
and San Francisco than the Pacific
roads can do, though the distance is
much shorter. 1t is sharp competitor
now for business with all the Pacific
roads from and to California. For p
OOC miles the Canadian Pacific trav-
erses productive country, one not
able to support railroad. 1t lives OF
its subventions and the business it
takes from the railroads of the United
States.
ITO oppose this active, open and op-
preSsive hostility to American trade,
American steamships and American
railways by England and Canada is a
kind of Monroe doctrine that I favor
and 1 am sure that it will have better
results to our people and their interests
than a dispute with England over an
obscure boundary in foreign country
over 5000 miles away.
THE United States, in my opinion.
should at once withdraw this bonding
privilege to the Canadian Pacific"
Mr.. Elkins' time was short, and he
gave notice that at some future day he
would again discuss the bill to impose
these discriminating duties, and give
the Senate additional facts and figures.

rendered this evening after three days
deliberation, occasioned some surprise
in that it declares he did not commit
suicide. as was first supposed, and de-
cided that death resulted from cold
and exposure while he wandered in the
woods where his body was found. This
verdict is in accordance with the testi-
mony of physicians who performed an
autopsy, and declared that they found
no traces of poison.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Two negro
crooks fought in Seventh-avenue sa-

killed the other, and the victim, with
knife in his throat, laid hold of his
slayer and dragged him down with
him, kissing into his ear with his dying
breath: IF l die, I'll hold you till the
cop comes" He kept his word.
The policeman who was called in by
the shouts of the saloon loungers found
the living negro almost frightened out
of his wits in the grasp of his victim
and drenched with his blood. So strong
was the grip that they had to be
dragged apart by main strength. The
murdered man was Peter Barrett of

slayer, Thomas Cooper, a porter of
