When given as soon as the child becomes
hoarse, or even after the croupy cough

The report on the bill to place Capt.
C. A. Boutelle, of Bangor, on the re-
tired list of the navy with the rank of
captain, was made by the naval COM
mittee without a dissenting vote.
When the motion was put the demo-
Gratis did not vote, but by their
silence acquiesced in the proposition.
This does not mean that there will be
no democratic opposition in the
House, but that the democratic MEM
bers of the committee were willing to
go to that extent to pay personal
compliment to their former chairman.

The House set rapid pace during
the first week of the session, ana II
has started the second week with the
evident intention of keeping it up.
The army reorganization bill was
passed by the House substantially as
reported, except the amendment pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicants at
army posts, and is now in the hands
of the Senate military committee,
which promises to push it along. The
Grout oleomargarine bill was passed
by vote of 1873 to 80. The pro-
gramme for this week includes the
passage of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, which
was taken up day, and the revenue
reduction bill While the Senate has
not accomplished as much in the way
of actual legislation as the House, 1t
has by no means been idle, although
it followed its usual custom OF ad-
journing from Thursday until Mon
day. 1t made the ship subsidy bill the
regular business, which operated to
prevent the taking up OF the Nc
aragua canal bill Monday, as pro-
vided for by a resolution adopted at
the last session, but that will not re-
suit in delaying action on the canal
bill, which would, in any event, have
had to wait for the disposition of the
Hay Pauncefote treaty. The demo-
Gratis have so far shown no DISPOSE
ton to retard legislation.

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER IL, 1900
The Ship Subsidy Bill.


In the Senate last Wednesday Sena-
tor Frye concluded his speech upon
the ship subsidy bill. He devoted his
attention principally to technical
explanation of the various provisions
of the measure, explaining with
especial care that provision which
would admit to American registry
foreign built ships. From several
sources his attention was directed to
this provision, and it is evidently one
upon which much of the forthcoming
debate will rest.
Senator Frye said it had been
asserted that 100000 tons of foreign
vessels would come in at once under
the provision as it now stands. He
said it was his purpose to offer sub
stitute for the present provision SO
that it could be determined definitely
Just how many foreign vessels would
be admitted TO American registry.
Senator Hale interrupted his col
league to direct his attention to a
memorial of shipbuilders which he
had received He said he was in
sympathy with the general provisions
of the bill, but admitted that he was
troubled by that provision which
enabled foreign built vessels to be
brought under the American flag
to enjoy the proposed subsidy.
He had received, he added, strong
protest against this provision of the
measure signed by forty or fifty ship
builders in the course of which the
statement was made that already par
ties are engaged in foreign shipyards
in the construction of vessels which
were to participate in the proposed
subsidy.
81. Is stated" added Senator Hale,
"that the bounty for foreign built
ships will amount to more than Sd, o0o,-
600 a year. l do not think my col
league would look with favor on any
such proposition as that"
Mr.. Frye said there was only one
trouble with the statement made in
the protest, and that was that 1T was
not true. ''Under the provisions of
the pending BILL" said he, .'owners of
foreign built ships cannot draw cent
of bounty until they construct in the
shipyards of this country an amount
of tonnage equal to that which they
have brought from abroad

Bank Assets at Public Auction.

The remaiuing asset OF The First
National and Sumner National banks
were sold at public auction by Re-
ceiver b ]. Sheridan Friday at his
Office over the Security State bank.
The sale was held under an order Of
the district court made January -,
1900
The First National assets, which
aggregated about s1O3,5OO, were sold
to Luella F. Stewart for sl,24l. A
little over 81 600 Of that amount rep
resented the real estate.
Tie Sumner National assets,
amounting to about s135 900 were sold
to E. Il. Stewart Cor 81, 3Ol, about S735
representing the real estate. The
assets of both banks were bid in hy
John T. Stewart They brought fair
prices 1t is thought that Stewart
will he able to make about $1,000 or
each deal-mOre than anyone else
could get out of Them.
Receiver Sheridan will make answer
10 the district court March 5, and
hopes to receive the checks for the
final dividend from the comptroller Of
The currency BY. March 90 winding up
the affairs of both banks about April
l. There are two Sumner National
suits pending, one of which is the
board of EDUCATION suit, involving
about $50. The other is the suit
against G. A. Gambrill. It is not
believed that these suits will inter-
fere with the final winding up Of the
business by April l. There are no
First National suits.
The total dividends OF the First
National bank will be about Is per
cent, and the Sumner National from
95 to 81 per cent. Mr.. Sheridan has
made an excellent record as receiver
of the two Wellington banks, and has
paid considerably larger dividends
and 10 less time than the depositors
had hoped for.
