The house bill for the establishment
OF the seat of national government in

without discussion.
Consideration Of the ship subsidy
bill was then resumed, Mr.. FRYE con.
Guiding his speech begun yesterday.
Mr.. Frye said the amount Of subsidy
could be no more than 50, 900, 900 per
year. That limit. he said, was fixed
definitely in the bill.
$50 far as the cost to the govern
ment is concerned" he added, at will
be really no more than ST. 500, 900, as
the subsidized ships are required to
carry the United States mails free OF
cost to the government"
In conclusion Mr.. Frye referred to
what he termed s'the wild and insane
criticism" of the measure, criticism
which, he said, was based upon no fair
or accurate knowledge of the provis-
ions of the bill.
On motion of Mr.. Platt Comm the
senate at 3:45 p. M, held a brief exec.

canal. suggested by the committee on
foreign relations, were read. Mr..
Lodge made a speech in explanation of
the treaty, and urged it's speedy ratif-
cation as a necessary preliminary to
the consideration of the Nicaragua
canal bill. Senator Lodge was sub.
jected to many questions during the
presentation of his explanation Of the
Treaty.
Senator Mooney, of Mississippi, made
a brief speech in general opposition to
the treaty, but indicated that he might
vote for it if the amendment was re.
tanned.

tact with electric wires that had been
broken from poles by the storm during

Tuesday, December 4.

Inc program OF the senate leaders
for a business session was taken up in
earnest today and material progress
was made. What is properly known
as the ship subsidy bill was made the
unfinished business of the senate in
stead of the Spooner Philippine
measure, and the discussion on it was
opened by Mr.. Frye of Maine, chair
man of the committee on commerce,
from which the measure was reported.
He addressed the senate today for more
than an hour and a half. Recognized
by his colleagues as an authority upon
the subject, he was accorded close at
tention.
This great maritime nation. he said,
was placed in a position humiliating
beyond expression by the present con
dition of u merchant marine. With
a boundless sea coast, unparalleled and
unapproachable natural resources, ship
building the equal of any in the world,
the greatest exports in the world and
every other argument in our favor,
the United States had permitted it's
commercial rivals to seize the path
ways OF commerce and hold them prac-
tically to the exclusion of this country.
Last year of all the enormous ex-
ports and imports of the United States
only 9 per cent was carried in Ameri-
can bottoms, and the United States
paid to foreign nations, principally
Great Britain and Germany, $500, 900 a
day for doing carrying trade work for
this country. He pointed out that
during the war with Spain the United
States was forced to search the seas
over for auxiliary cruisers and this
because we had sacrificed our carrying
ships.
''The world, "Mr. Frye declared, "has
entered upon a fierce commercial war,
and it is to be a long and strenuous
conflict. Each nation is seeking the
advantage of it's rival in this conflict,
and is pressing forward to gain that
advantage. Most of the foreign ma
tions are looking for commercial adj
vantage in the east. Russia, France,
Great Britain, Italy and Germany are
paying an aggregate of SIS, OOO, 900 per
year in subsidies for the carrying ships
of the eastern trade"
MI. Frye took up that provision of
the bill which provides the amour of
subsidy to be paid vessels, and showed
how the payment was regulated. He
said that by the terms of the measure
a ten knot vessel out for IT'S DAYS
would draw $l5 900 a year beyond the
cost OF her coal and handling, and that
the amount of the subsidy would in
percentage diminish with the increase
of the speed of the ship.
Mr.. Clay (Ga.) asked if it were true
that a twenty-one knot ship would
draw under the bill 1904, 900 a year.
MI. Frye replied that the mount
drawn by such a vessel would be about

NATIONAL SENATE
WASHINGTON, Dec.

The opening of congress today drew
great crowds to the capitol. Inside
the building but little restriction had
been placed on the free moving OF the
throng and the crowd moved at will
from n wing to the other. All Of the
public galleries were open, SO that
every one in the good-natured crowds
had an equal chance.
There were conferences among SEN
ators as to the program for the week
and for so early in the session unusual
activity was displayed by members on
both sides of the capitol.
Monday, December 8. H
In the senate the work of the session
of the ffty-sixth congress was success
fully launched. 1t has been the our
pose of the senate to announce the
death of senators Gear of Iowa and
Davis of Minnesota Immediately after
assembling and then to adjourn, and
to receive the message of the presid-
emit tomorrow. AS this has been an
nounced by the leaders of both
branches congress to be a ''business
session." it was determined to receive
the message today and gain one day in
a session when that much time may
be of immense Importance.
A committee was appointed to act
with a committee from the house and
inform the president hat congress was
in session and ready to receive any
communication he might wish to make.
The senate, on motion of Mr.. Hale,
then took a recess of forty minutes,
and on ~reassembling Mr.. Hoar an
nounced that the president has ex-
pressed his pleasure that congress
once more was in session, and that he
would communicate with it forthwith.
Instantly Major Pruden, one of the
secretaries to the president was recog-
nized, presented the awaited message
OF the president. 1t took Mr.. Bennet,
the secretary of the senate, one hour
and fifty minutes to read it.
Mr.. Allison then announced the
death in July last Of his colleague,
Senator John Henry Gear, and offered
che usual resolution of sorrow, which
was adopted.
Mr.. Nelson (Minn.) who had re-
turned only two hours before from st.
Paul, announced formally the death of
Senator Davis, saying that in his death
"the nation has lost one of its wisest
public servants and the state of Min
nesota n of its most distinguished
sOns."
The senate, then. at 3:45, upon mo-
ton OF Mr.. Allison, as an additional
mark of respect for the memories of
Senators Gear and Davis, adjourned.
