Junior Order American Mechanics in
Court.

Il the Dauphip, County Court, Penn
sylvsnis, counsel for Derry Council,
No. 10, of Hummelstown one Of the
Oldest councils of toe Junior Order OF
American Mechanics, has filed bill
in equity against the State Council Of
Pennsylvania and the National Coun
ell of the order, praying the board Of
officers of the Safe Council be re-
strained from levying aud collecting
the per capita tax Of u cents for the
support of the National Couucll The
bill also asked that they be restrained
from borrowing money on the credit
Of the State Council for this purpose;
that the order of the National Ju
dietary to the State board of officers
to levy and collect this tax be de-
clared illegal aud null ard void; tina,
the decree of the National Judiciary
revoking the State Council charter #
the tax be not paid by January 10,
1900, be declared illegal and null and
void, and that the National Council
be restrained from holding its annual
sessions and conducting its business
outside of the county of Philadelphia
contrary to the provisions Of its
charter.
Judge Weiss granted a temporary
Injunction and gave the order 10 days
in which to file an answer.
Having reached the courts, it is
now thought that the growing trou-
bles in this prosperous patriotic order
will speedily be terminated one way
or the other. The rebellious faction
in Pennsy lvaDia maintain that it is
stronger today than it was at the
Scranton meeting, a number of coun'
ellis that were not represented having
since indorsed their stand, and some
councils having repudisted the action
Of their representatives in voting for
the pay ment Of the per capita tax.
The "insurgents," as they are
termed. declare that the Juniors Of
the District Of Columbia, Virginia,

THE LATE NELSON DINGLEY.
A Letter Of Coincidence From Presi-
dent Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, JAM. 14.-In view of
the long and distinguished services of
the late Representative Dingley, the
funeral ceremony will be in the hall of
the House, and will be in the nature of
State funeral. 1t will be held at u
o'clock noon on Monday. Among the
letters of coincidence was one from
President Mckinley. 1t was as fol-
lows:
Dear Mrs. Dingley: I have this
moment learned of the death of your
distinguished husband, and write to ex-
press the profound sorrow which both
Mrs. Mckinley and myself feel for you
in your great affliction. We mourn
with you in this our overwhelming loss,
which will be deeply felt by the whole
country. From my long and intimate
association with him, it comes to me
as a personal bereavement. A great
consolation in this sad hour is a recol-
lection of Mr.. Dingley's exalted charac-
ter; his domestic virtues, his quiet, USE
full distinguished life and his long con-
tinued and faithful service in behalf
of his fellow citizens, who will always
cherish his memory as that of a great
statesman and true patriot. With SYM
pathy, believe me, always sincerely,

TO AID AMERICAN SHIPPING.
BILL INDORsED
BY SHIPOWNERS.
Testimony Before Senate Committee
ON Commerce, Which is Con-
sidering the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The Senate
Committee on Commerce to-day contin-
Ted the hearings on the Hanna-Payne
substitute bill. Charles H. King, Sec
retary of the Lake Carriers Associa-
ton, and Theodore Search, President Of
the American Manufacturers Associa-
tion, spoke in favor of the bill.
Clement Griscom, President of the In
ternational Navigation Company, also
advocated it. He gave the details of
tie organization of the company and it's
transfer from Belgium to the United
States, and the building of the ST. Louis
and the ST. Paul These vessels would
have cost 81, 100000 less in Great Brit
ain than in the United States Interest
and insurance charges were also much
higher in this country than in England
The $75O,OOO received annually from the
Government for carrying the mails
lacked $113,0O0 of meeting the extra ex-
pense involved in carrying the Ameri-
can flag. The company had made a
living, but it was evident that it could
not continue under the circumstances,
and would have to quit when the pres
ent vessels We're worn out. The COM
pany had not declared a dividend. and
it was evident that under the circum-
stances no more American ships could
be built. He thought nothing would
restore American shipping except a
system that would reduce the cost of
construction and the operation of
steamers. The passage of the pending
bill would relieve the situation, and if
it should become law his company
would build four more 14OOO-ton ships
within the next five years, and enter
into contracts for as many more not
to be completed within that period.
Senator Elkins asked if the bill would
SO equalize the conditions as to put the
United States on an equal footing with
Great Britain, and Mr.. Griscom replied
that, after giving the question careful
attention, he had reached the conclu-
sion that it would. He thought the
United States could win if not too heay-
lily Handicapped. Replying to other
questions from Senator Elkins, he ex-
pressed the opinion that for the pres
ent England would not increase her
subsidies.
Senator Elkins also questioned Mr.
Griscom as to the propriety of a tax
on the tonnage Of British ships. equal to
the tax imposed by Great Britain on
American vessels. Mr.. Griscom said
he favored such measure, but he
hoped there would be no. effort to put it
on the pending bill. He said that there
was no time within the last twenty
years that such legislation would not
have been advisa BILE, and that it was
'idiotic folly" not to enact it.
This statement brought from Senator
Frye the remark that it would have
been secured except for the opposition
Of the steamship companies. Il know, .
he said, "of one instance in which a
man who never under ordinary circum-
stances. attended the early sessions of
the Senate, sat through the morning
hour every day for four months in or
der to prevent measure of this kind
from coming up in the mornings hour .
