STATUS Of LIE OhAr Inv DILL.
To the Editor Of the Press:
IA careful Investigation shows the pres
emit status of the shipping bill in the SEN
ate to bs this: A sufficient number OF
Republican Senators are opposed to the
admission of foreign built ships and the
payment OF bounties to them, TO insure
the defeat of the bill, the lowest MAORI
ty being placed at five, the largest at
eleven, Republican senators who refuse
to state their position being counted for
the bill. ~s
On the other hand, friends OF the meas
ure. who insist on the retention in the
bill of the provision for the admission OF
certain fleets of foreign built steamers
and of the payment to them OF bounties
the same as to American built ships, but
at one half as high rate, declare that
they san muster majority against the
bill II the foreign ships are excluded
and It must be admitted chat at present
they can do 1t.
There are two men, however, whom
Congressman generally admit to have the
power of determining the fate OF this
bill-the President and senator Frye.
Ii the President shall ask those sena-
tors who are opposed to the admission or
foreign ships to reconsider, 1t Is the
opinion OF one of the best informed Re
publican senators he can put the bill
through.
But the presidents Is mos disposed to
do this at present. While discussing the
measure with gentlemen from New York
representing large exporting interests
and opposing the admission OF any for
eign built ships, he stated that he was
naturally opposed to the payment of
bounties to foreign built shiDs, unless
1t were really necessary to bring about
the restoration OF the American Mer-
chant Marine-and that In those matters
he had the deepest respect for the opin-
ions OF Senator Frye.
And this feeling Of the President for
Senator Frye Is that of several senator's,
three of whom stated to me In 80 many
words that they should be guided in this
matter entirely by Senator Frye-that 1t
certainly seemed wrong to admit these
foreign built ships anu pay bounties to
them, but that they trusted Senator
Frye implicitly and should vote for any
feature or this bill recommended by
him.
This following of Senator Frye's is so
strong and the intiusnce OF Senator Hale
so controlling, particularly SIN "a the sem
ator has brought to the attention OF Con-
Qress that the American line can draw
81, COZ, ON par year on its American steam
ers alone, and that many thousands OF
tons OF shipping have been built, and are
being built, in English yards to qualify
for drawing American bounties since
| this bill was introduced in Congress,
that IL easily overmatches the strength
of the advocates OF American bounties to
foreign built ships-and the shipping bill
can be passed Without this very objec-
| tionable feature.
This Is the sort OF bill which every
ship builder in Maine, without a sing lie
exception, and that the men interested
in shipping. desire. That IL the bill

cure: but an attempts is now being made
