TALBERT ARRAIGNS
THE REPUBLICANS.
Denou2ces the Policy of the Adj
miniStratiOn Party on the
Ship Subsidy Bill.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The
other day in the House, during the
consideration of the sundry civil
bill, Congressman Talbert of South
Carolina entered into a strong
arraignment of the Republican
party. The immediate cause Of
the attack was the cursory mention
of the Hanna-Payne subsidy bill
during the discussion, which give
the Representative from the Second
district an opportunity to literally
flay Republican policies and
methods, closing his onslaught
with q reference TO this subsidy
bill, which he denominated to be
the acme of finfamy and in close
keeping with Republican doctrines.
1t was strong speech, and sounded
the first note of warning against
the iriquity of the scheme to pay
a bounty to ships of certain
tonnage and flying the American
flag. Mr.. Talbert contonded that
it was contrary to the genius OF
our government for Congress TO
enact legislation whereby an
enormoa bounty is to be paid to
one class of individuals at the ex-
pense of another, and asserted
that it was not in keeping with
the spirit of the Constitution jor
Congress to authorize a corpora
ton to put its hands into the
Treasury Of the United States and
to draw therefrom an Indefinite
amount of money, and for twenty
years, which money was placed
there by the taxpayers of the land
who would receive absolutely 10
benefit from it. BY allowing
certain percentage per mile both
ways for ships over fifteen tons,
as the bill proposes, he maintained
there would be created an indefinite
charge upon the Treasury of the
United States-a charge limited
only by the amount of miles
travelled by all the ships floating
the flag and twenty years set by
the bill, and could very reasonably
reach the enormous sum of five
hundred millions of dollars charge
upon The people for the benefit of
certain iron mine owners and
shipbuilGers, who seem most in

expects TO formulate some plan and rec
ommend a change of grade there.
The crossing south of the junction
are provided for in another manner,
and the commission has not touched
1hem.
The plan which the report recon-
mends abolishes the Viaduct over Front
street. The commission has not fully
determined the means of transfer be-
tween the northern and other roads,
but it has framed a plan in outline. This
plan provides that the transferring
shall be done east of the union station.

the tracks of its yard. or some of them,
at least, to the elevation of the tracks

bers claim their various consultations

in carrying out the instructions OF the
order which created the commission,
because that provided for reaching an
agreement with the railroads. The
commission did not reveal its steps to

nobody in Worcester would know any
thing about the report and recommen-
dations.
The commissioners still maintain that
for an improvement for all time and
looking to the advantage of Worcester
so years hence instead of today, the
new route plan would be the best. The
depressed tracks plan which The Spy
said was favored by every member in
preference to the elevated tracks, was
not dropped until the last meeting,
when the city engineer. showed the
commission that the plan was imprae-
ticable.
Land damages has caused the COM
mission considerable thought and the
present plan will make them smaller
than the adoption of any other. There
will be practically no change in the
grade of any street, except where a
change will improve the street and
damages will consequently be low.
City Engineer F. A. Mcclure will
make an estimate of the cost TO present
TO the city council as a part of the re-
port. That feature has been held back
until the report was decided on finally
in order that as near an estimate as
possible could be made. The city en-
gineer was told to so ahead after yes
terday's meeting, when all detail had
been agreed on.
The report also contains summary
of the Harvey Shepard plan and the
plan of part depression of the streets
and part elevation CT the tracks Which
was recommended by the commission
appointed by the city in 1890. The COM
mission congratulates itself that its
plan is infinitely better than the plan
of that commission.
