SENATE PROGRAMME.
Ship Subsidy Bill to Take Precedence
Over All Else.

Washington, Dec. 4-The Republican
senatorial committee on order of bust
ness has decided that the ship subsidy
bill should displace the Spooner Philip
pine bill as the unfinished business It
also considered at the same time the dis
position of the Hay-PauncefOt treaty,
and decided that that question should
receive alternate attention with the
shipping bill The arrangement provides
that the shipping bill shall have prefer
ence, but that when no one is prepared
TO make a speech on it the senate shall
go into executive session for the c0nSid-
Grafton of the treaty. In accordance
with this understanding Senator Frye
at the first opportunity viii move to
take up the bill and if this motion pre-
walls, as there IS little doubt II viii, the
effect viii be to displace the SpOoner
bill, which there IS no disposition at this
time TO press Senator Frye probably
Will make a speech 1t is not expected
that any other senator will be prepared
TO proceed on the subsidy measure, and
in that event Senator Lodge Of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, who Will
have charge of the treaty, will move an
executive session in order to consider the
treaty
The arrangement further provides
that if the army bill reaches the senate
prior to the disposal of the shipping bill
OF the treaty either or both of these may
be displaced temporarily inorder to per-
nit the prompt consideration Of that
more pressing Importance than either Of
the other questions The same under
standing prevails regarding the apprO-
priation bills. Senator AIorgan's Mica
raguan canal bill received some consid-
Grafton at the hands Of the committee
on order Of business. While no definite
agreement was reached concerning it
the opinion was generally expressed that
it should wait upon the senate's action
on the treaty The members of the com
mittee apparently consider that the rati-
ficatiOn of the treaty is a necessary pre-
Iiminary 10 the passage of the canal bill
and the present disposition IS to con-
tend for that order of precedence
The committee also discussed the pos
sibility of Democratic opposition to the
subsidy bill Some Of the members who
had talked with Democratic senators
expressed the opinion that there would
be no effort to prevent this legislation
by factious opposition, though they eX-
poet a number of speeches against it
Senator Lodge was called into the
conference for the purpose Of consulta-
ton concerning the treaty He stated
that he would be prepared to proceed
with it at any time, and that he was
anxious to have il disposed of at as
early q day as possible

Arbitration supersedes Strikes.

The strike is becoming useless and
obsolete in the railway service, says the
Railway Age, superseded by calm and
reasonable conference between repre-
sentatives of the branches of the serv-
ice concerned and the managing officials.
In this way the traInmen of the South
ern Pacific have just effected an under
standing with the company in regard
to wages, in which each side made some
concessions and good feeling was main
tanned. On the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul, I.ehigh Valley and several
other roads, differences have within a
few days been adjusted in the same
manner. On the Santa F'e line in Texas
the company and the telegrap piers have
agreed to arbitrate certain questions
upon which agreement could not be
reached. and this reasonable plan of
settlement will speedily bring peace. The
strike has fulfilled its mission. Let force
give place TO reason among intelligent
and reasonable men,

Traffic Negotiations With Missouri
Pacific to Start Orient Trains

Until such time as the line of the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient road be-
tween Wichita and Kansas City is con-
structed, trains of the new railway will
probably be run over the Missouri Pa
cific into Kansas City. Negotiations are
now on between officers of the Orient
road and officials of the Missouri Pa
cific looking to such an arrangement.
The Orient people intend to operate
the line from Wichita south to the
CimarrOn river as soon as it is com
pleted- Grading on this stretch of road
IS progressing rapidly, and the laying
of steel will be commenced some time
in January BY March I, at the latest,
trains viii be in operation, and the idea
is to arrange for through traffic between
Kansas City and the southern terminus
of the new line. To this end the Orient
officers are trying to effect an agree
ment with the Missouri Pacific manage
mant.

THE ONLY PARTY.
James A. Williams so Speaks
Of the Prohibition Move
Tnent Last Evening.

James A williams, Esq, chairman Of
the Prohibition state central committee,
spoke at Bell street chapel last evening.
and presented the Prohibition party's
position. Mr.. Williams said in substance
that the Prohibition party had been here
since 1872 and was very lively at the
present time.
THE claims of the Prohibition party,
he said, rested upon four fundamental
principles. The first proposition was that
the manufacturing and selling of liquor
was the greatest nuisance and crime.
morally, socially and politically, that had
ever been committed.
"The second, that IL could never be
settled except by political party.
THE third was that neither the Repub-
lican nor Democratic party could or
would settle IL.
"The fourth, that the Prohibition party
was the only party that could and would
settle It"
Bryan he said, was preaching free sill
yer I'm the west. but letting IL severely
alone in the east. The Republicans said
the country would go to the dogs IL
Bryan was elected. and Bryan said the
country would go to the dogs If McKin-
ley was elected.
The Socialist claims there should be
different method OF production and a diff
ferent method OF distribution. lie said
there should be no competition and want
ed to make everything into one huge
trust. with the government as trustee
All these issues were local Silver was
a local issue, the tariff was a local issue,
even the so-called Imperialism was To-
cal issue. for il interested certain por-
tions OF the country more than others.
The Prohibition party was the only ma
uonal party, because IL was a party hav-
ing an issue which was voted upon
throughout the United States
Prof. j. @. Dealey of Brown university
spoke on The Development of our Po-
ntical PARTIES and he outlined the de-

policy.
