WILL BUCK THE SUBSIDY
SENATOR PETTIGREW SAYS 1T
WON'T PASS WITH HIS
AID
HIS PLAN IS To FILIBUsrER
If Hanna's Pet Measure Is to Get
Through the Senate, Mckinley
Will Have to Call an
Extra Session.

ers,-
WASHINGTON, Dee. ga policy of
f1libustering in the senate is announced
openly
IF it is necessary to put through a
job like the shipping bill to enable Sen
ator Hanna to pay his campaign debts, -
says Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
II think it would be well to have it done
at an extra session of congress, and thus
invite attention more directly to it,
Senator Pettigrew does not believe the
shipping bill can be passed at the pres
ent session. He said:
ut will not be if 1 can help it. Three
of US, who are most strongly opposed to
it, propose to fight it in every way we
can.
IT do not think the opposition to the
army reorganization bill is very strong,
and there would be no disposition to
delay action on it or on the appropria-
ton bills If the Republicans would be
content to stop with the passage of
those bills during the present session.
AS long, however, as they continue to
force the shipping bill to the front, ]
and those who agree with me will fight
every bill that is brought up.
IF the appropriation bills are forced
over into an extra session it will be be-
cause of the effort to pass the shipping
BILL
In reply to an inquiry whether he be-
lieved a sufficient number of senators
would unite with him in this policy to
make 1T successful, Senator Pettigrew re-
Piled:
II think so. You see there are but fifty
one legislative days left in this session.
There are fourteen great appropriation
bills to be acted upon, each one of which
can be made to take up considerable
time
Referring to report that Senator Han
ma had declared that if opponents of the
shipping bill continued to delay final &C
ton On that measure, they would force
an extra session for the consideration
OF the appropriation bills and other
necessary legislation, Senator Pettigrew
SAID the threat of an extra session did not
AFFECT him or Senator Allen or Senator
Butler, as all of their terms would ex-
pire March A.
