held in indianapolis. That resolution was
10 the effect that any lands brought un-
der the dominion of the United States b.
treated as "A trust ana administered for
the sole benefit of their inhabitants. TIL"
resolution therefore urged the application
Of the rules Of civil service in the organ

The committee in making its report.
this afternoon. said I'll. the situation in
the various territories, brought under th'
government as result of the late war
with Spain, is anomalous and 1t Is dltf-
cult to forecast with any confidence the
solution Of the consequent problems ans
ing fn national policy and constitutional
law. The principle stated in the reSolu-
lion under consideration, however, the re-
port says, are applicable.
The committee saws that there is an APP
parent desire by the national administra-
tion to organize the civil service Of these
dependencies upon the basis of appoint
mcnt for merit. and tenure during gOot
conduct and efficiency.
The league held a largely attended mass

Thereupon Vest called attention TO
the fact that Chamberlain. the COM
missioner of navigation and one of the
strongest advocates of the pending
measure also had said that the Amer
lean Line vessels would receive $204
$50 annually from the subsidy.
After asserting that his figures show
ed that the American Line vessels
would receive less than $4,000 a year
each. Hanna declared that with the
subsidy the vessels of that line would
not earn as much as was earned by
the vessels of the CunaTd and the
White Star Lines under the mail sub
sides received from Great Britain.
There is no profit in that line" de
clared Hanna. and there never will
be profit under present conditions '
Then | would like 10 know" said
Lindsay of Kentucky. what good pol
icy there can be in passing this bin if
the subsidy is insufficient
Hanna's reply was contained in 4
long argument in which he explained
the fundamental principles of the pend
ing measure.
Hanna, as he brought his speech TO
=
ton involved in the discussion was
much broader than the lines of the
bill wrote il. The measure was not
designed to benefit any particular class
or industry. but to advance the inter-
estS of the whole country. The pas
sage of the measure would enable the
United States to avail itself of the
trade advantages in the orient and
he declared that if we did not seize
these advantages. other powers would.
In the event Of war among any of the
great maritime powers which now
were carrying q per cent. Of our for
eign commerce. Hanna asserted the
interests of this country would be par
allied and the situation would be de
plOra BILE and ruinous-
But" said he. in conclusion. lin my
appeal 10 the American people for the
ablishment of the great ship
building industry, / want to nut II on
higher grounds than mere dollars and
cents. 1t is away and beyond that
point in patriotism and pride in our
national life As to the popularity or
unpopularity of this measure. ! stand
here to say that every line of it is ir
the interest Of the American people.
Upon that basis | make my appeal for
it's passage and leave the question in
