THE SHIPPING BILL.
A Number of Amendments Made BY the
senate Commerce Committee.

=
The Senate Committee on Commerce
held its first meeting of the session Thurs
day The meeting was devoted mainly
10 the consideration of the ship subsidy
b,ll and TO amendments suggested by
Chairman Frye. The most important OF
these amendments was one providing that
all ships shall take 80 per cent. of .fhelr
cargo capacity when leaving a port of the
United States for a foreign port. In pre-
sent!ng this modification of the bill, Mr..
Frye said that the effect of its incorpora-
tion in the bill would be TO increase The
amount OF cargo which must be taken, cut
that IL would so distribute ii among the
various ships that there would be no In
equality or injustice.
The amendment requiring vessels clear
ing for foreign ports TO carry cargo
amounting 10 80 per cent of their carry
ing capacity was adopted by the commit
! tee, as We're several others The cargo
provision is much shorter than that Of the
old bill, and reads as follows: NO vessel
shall be entitled 70 full compensation IN
less she shall have cleared from a port of
the United States with cargo TO the
amount OF 20 per cent. of her capacity for
| carrying commercial cargo"
Another amendment relates TO the di-
vision OF the annual award OF 8, go be-
tween ships on the Atlantic Ocean ami
1 those on the Pacifc. rs originally pro-
vded. 20 per cent. OF the amount was 10 be
| expended upon the Atlantic and 20 per
cent on the Pacific. with an additional
| provision that in case the entire % per
cent should not be utilized on the Pacific
| il might be diverted 10 the Atlantic There
was no reciprocal provision in the interest,"
OF the Pacific ships. That is provided BY
yesterdays action, the language OF the
provision being as follows: In case the
said Atlantic ocean trade shall net re-
Quire the whole amount OF the said 20 DeT
| cent, and the said Pacific Ocean trace
shall require. In respect Of the vessels en-
gagged in said Pacific Ocean trade. the ex-
pendsture Of more than the said 30 uer
cent. of said ss.000, 0o0 in any such year

IMPROVING THE APPOMATTOX.
Appropriations Recommended There and
for the scuppernong River.

Gen. Wilson. chief Of engineers. for
warded 10 the House yesterday report OF
the survey and examination Of the Apo
matioX River made by Maj. Quinn. The
river. which forms the harbor at Peters

from that point n-5 miles 10 its mouth. in
The James River, but now IL is proposed 10
institute improvements In the shape OF a
Cam and dikes 10 Obviate the distractions
caused by sand when there are freshets.
Mai Quinn reports that the improvement
is a worthy one. and estimates that X
would cost S966.9l5 and 5000 annually for
maintenance several years thereafter.
Col Peter Hsins, Mai Quinn's superior
officer thinks this estimate too low. He
calculates that the Improvement would
cost Si0000o besides $500 annually for
maintenance Col Hams thinks however.
that the Improvement az that cost would
b. well worth the while on account of the
large amount Of commerce.

Mr. Teller eontended that II the United

The consent OF Great Britain. He said
that the opinion Of Secretary Hay, that
the abrogatiOn of the Ciayton-Bulwer
treaty was necessary as a preceding pei
formance was. after all. only the opinion OF
one man. and he quoted from public dOc1-
ments to show that former Secretaries Of
State had different opinion in this respect
He also showed that in some instances
there had been breaches Of the Clayton
Bniwer treaty. he quoted Secretary Evart
as SAYING that the guarantee OF neutral
ity is one thing while the question is IN
settled and quite another when the canal
shall be opened to the interests. ambition
and cupidity OF the commercial nations,
and is occupied BY populations of foreign
allegiance and discordant habits" seere-
tary Blaine also was quoted on the same
point.
Independence Of Great Britain.

Teller expressed the opinion that Great
Britain never would permit her resent
ment of independent action by the United
States to lead her 20 begin hOstilities. be-
cause her national interests in maintain
ing peace with this country is too
great; but he argued that 10 ask
England's assent to the construction Of
the canal was to admit that that country
had a right to express its dissent. That
position, he said, never would be accepted
by the people df this country.

PASSED the GrOut bill to tax oleomargarine
cut of business by an overwhelming vote
Cf 1876 to 81. The session was one OF very
animated debate. and the vote by no
means represents the actual sentiment OF
the House. Nevertheless. the pressure
from dairy interests and from rural re-
giOns was so powerful that few members
outside the city constituencies dared op-
pose the bill. A few men. like Gen. GrOs-
venOr, declared they could not do violence
to their consciences by setting such a
precedent in legislation, and voted against
the bill There was an effort to pass a
substitute that would provide for adequate
labelling Of OleOmargaTine TO prevent all
possibility of its being sold as butter, bat,
while it had some influential advocates, IL
was defeated by 1l3 to us. The opposition
to the Grout bill was based almost entire
ly on its drastic features. There is little
hope of its passing the Senate. at least
during this Congress.
