the minority members of the commit
tee on commerce which reported IL
to the senate. He is recognized as
one of the most vigorous opponents OF
the bill and during nearly two hours
was accorded close attention by sena-
tors on both sides of the chamber.
Senator Hanna expects to reply to
Senator Clay's argument and gave
him a particularly attentive hearing.
In the early part of the session a live
ly collquy was precipitated over the
reference to the committee OF the
Grout oleomargarine bill, just passed
by the house of representatives. IL
finally went to the committee on agri-
culture. This is victory for the
friends of the bill.
In antogonizing the subsidy bill Sen
ator Clay said the one definite thing
that was known about the operation
of the proposed legislation was that it
would take from the treasury of the
United States 100000 year for
period of twenty years and donate that
vast sum to the ship owners carrying
the foreign trade of this country. In
other words, ''oae mans business is to
be heavily taxed in order to advance
and to make more profitable the pri-
vate business of another citizen"
The senator pointed out that an ad-
ditional amount was paid owners of
vessels of greater speed, regardless of
freight capacity. He said that "the
subsidy to be given vessels up to II
knots, which are really our great
freight carriers, is only ~ cents per
gross ton, while the subsidy given to
a fast steamer, which carries chiefly
| passengers and fine manufactured
goods, is $40 cents per ton for 81
knot ship"
Thus it would appear, he contended,
, that the 12-knot vessel which really
carried the products of the country,
would receive only little more than
one-third of the subsidy paid to the
fast passenger steamers. He elaborat-
ed what he deemed to be the Unjust
ice and inequality of the measure in
this respect, presenting a comparison
of cargoes carried by the st. Paul, a
swift steamer of the American line,
and of the Manhattan, one of the
great freighters of the Atlantic Trans
portation company. The comparisons
showed that the Manhattan, 14-knot
ship, carried immense quantities of
agricultural and manufactured pro-
ducts, while the st. Paul carried prac-
tically no manufactures or agricultural
products of any kind; yet, contended
Senator Clay, the Manhattan will re-
ceive little more than one-third of the
subsidy given the St. Paul

Washington, Dec. 10.-Chas. A.
Towne, recently appointed successor
to the late Senator Davis of Mime
sofa, attended the session of the
senate and took the oath of office. No
business of Importance was transacted
in open session, the senate going into
secret session on the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. The senate spent almost FIVE
hours considering the treaty. There
were five or six speeches made, some
of them by senator's who had not
spoken hitherto upon the treaty,
others by senators who had, among
them Senator Morgan, who returned
to his former speech celebrating
somewhat his position as to the effect
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. He
took issue with Senator Teller as to
purpose of the first. clause of that
treaty, claiming it applied only to
Great Britain's right to fortify the
Nicaragua canal itself. Senator Teller
replied at some length, asserting the
provision was of more general i'm
portance as shown by President
Buchanan's views upon the subject
when he was minister to England.
The declaration then made showed
plainly, he said, that England had at
tempted to extend her rights beyond
the immediate vicinity OF the canal.
Senator Teller then repeated his de-
claration that the United States
should construct the canal regardless
of the English position and without
going through the formality of ratify.

Washington, Dec. 13.-For nearly
three hours today Senator Hanna
of Ohio addressed the senate upon the
pending ship subsidy bill While he
had spoken heretofore on the floor of
the senate, his effort today really
was his first formal speech to the body
since he became member of it.
Since coming to the senate Hanna has
devoted much time and labor to the
preparation of the ship subsidy bill,
and as he is regarded by his col
leagues as one of the best informed
public men on the question, his speech
was given unusually close attention.
Senators on both sides of the chamber
remained in their seats throughout the
delivery of the address. He spoke
without manuscript, his delivery at all
times being forcible and intense.
The debate upon the war revenue
reduction bill was continued in the
house. 1t was dull and featureless.
Those who spoke were Messrs. Gros-
venor of Ohio, Bartholdt of Missouri
Hill of Connecticut, Boutelle of ILL
nois, Mcclellan of New York, New
lands of Nevada, Levy of New York
and Underwood of Alabama
Mr.. Bartholdt criticised the action of
the ways and means committee, in not
making a deeper cut in the tax on beer
and gave notice he would offer an
amendment to reduce it $3.50 a barrel.
The house adopted a resolution for the
holiday recess from Dec. 21 to Jan. 8.
Washington, ID. c.. Dec. IA
Throughout nearly the entire legisla-
tive day the senate was in secret
session, discussing the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. No business of impor-
lance was transacted in the brief open
session, except the adoption of the
house resolution providing for a holt
day recess to extend from Dec. 81 to
Jan. 3.
Senator Allen of Nebraska proposed
a substitute for the ship subsidy bill
providing for the protection of ag-
ricultural staples and American ships,
in the foreign trade by authorizing
the payment of bounties on exports of
agricultural products of the United
States" The substitute provides for
a bounty of 10 cents a bushel on
wheat, so cents a barrel on wheat
flour, 10 cents a bushel on rye. 80
cents a barrel on rye -four, cents q
bushel on corn, cents per GENITAL on
corn, ground; l cent a pound on cot
ton, cents pound on hops. and
cents a pound on tobacco. II also
directs the president to arrange for
the abrogation of all treaties in con.
travention with the proposed legisla-
ton.
In the house determined effort was
made to reduce still further the tax ON
beer below the committee rate of
SLIGO barrel, but the Ways and Means
committee overwhelmed the opposi.
ton. The committee, however. sus.
tanned two signal defeats. In con.

A Sensational Demand.

LONDON, December 27.-The war
office has begun the promised reform
OF the army in a sensational manner.
1t has demanded the resignation of
Major General Sir Henry Colville, COM
handing the infantry brigade at Glib
raltar, and recently commanding the
Ninth division of the South Africa field
force. Gen. Colville- refuses to resign,
and he is now on his way to England.
The news is all the more startling as
the question of Gen. Colville's respon-
sibility for the Yeomanry disaster at
Lindlay last May was fully investiga-
ted by the authorities when Gen. Col
vile returned from South Africa last
summer. After the inquiry Gen. Col
vile was reinstated in his command
at Gibraltar in September last. The
attitude of the wal Office indicates that
a new regime in Pail Mall will reverse
the decisions of Lord L~ansdowne and
Lord Wolsley in regard to some of the
recent commanders in South Africa.
Gen. Colville, like Gen. Methuen, has
always been a great social parsonage
in London and a prominent club man.
He has had a most distinguished mil
itary career, has been repeatedly men
toned in dispatches and is Familiarity
known as dodgers" He is also a we'll
known author, and on the occasion OF
his marriage, created a stir by going
on his honeymoon in s. balloon.

ferent military commanders, has been
posted, according to a despatch to the
Morning Post from Pekin, dated De-
cember 26th. In the German section
only it recognizes the Chinese military
and civil governors, but makes no ref
erence to Count Won Waldersee.
"Germany's action" says the CORES
pendent, is strange. She, formerly
so severe, now recognizes Chinese au-
thority."
The largest districts, the despatch
points out, have been allotted to the
British, German and French troops.

say that il a cadet were hazed to such
a degree that he would be injured or
had to be helped by his fellows, the
hazing would be brutal"
This answer was given latter Gen.
Bates had intimated to the witness that
in case a cadet died from the effects of
such hazing the law would hold all Of
those who took part in it responsible
for the mans death.
Cadet Allen C. Kaye, of Minnesota,
who came next, said that he had seen
Cadet Breth the night. before he left
the academy. Breth seemed very much
cast down at being found deficient.
Breth did not complain of illness, nor
did he say anything of his treatment
by the other cadets while here. In re-
ply to Gen. Brooke, the witness said
he had never hazed a man to the limit
of his endurance, he W saw a man
faint or become exhausted from hazing
and had not heard Of such a case.
DO you think it is for the physical
benefit to a cadet to have him 'eagled'
rs times?' inquired Gen. Clous.
Eyes, / should say it is. / did it my
self, and it benefited me-" was the
ready reply.

Extensive Military Operations.

PEKIN, December 27.-The British
have increased their garrison at Yang
Tsun by a hundred men with horses
and guns
a flying column of 1000 cavalry will
scour the country between Tien-Tsin
and Yang-Tsun in obedience to Field
Marshal Won Waldersee's orders to be
on the alert in view of the French re-
port of an engagement with $500 Chi
nese troops.
Col. Tullock's regiment will return
to destroy the towns he recently held.
This action is taken owing to the fact
that it has been discovered that a num-
Der of Boxers unquestionably made
them their headquarters. The British
authorities-say they do not expect seri-
Gus trouble from the Boxers, mainly
because they lack arms. Fortunately
the Chinese government feared to trust
them with arms, lest a rebellion
against the dynasty be Undertaken
Otherwise the danger might have been
serious.
British soldiers have been found
dead outside the Temple of Heaven
with bullets in their heads. The muir
GERS are believed to have been COM
mitted by Chinese.
A detachment of the Sixth United
States cavalry, Ninth infantry and
Fifth artillery will leave tomorrow to
investigate the reported burning of ma
tive Christians by Boxers. as reported
by the Rev. Mr.. Kelly, the Presbyterian
missionary. The expedition will be
commanded by Lieut.. Col. Theodore
Whit, OF the Sixth cavalry.

SHANGHAI PAPERS

ODJect TO the Terms of Peace Pro-
posed by the Powers.
SHANGHAI, December 27.-The Chi
nese newspapers here object to the pro-
posed peace terms. The Universal Ga
zette considers that the princes and
officials who are to be punished should
be named. 1t is questionable whether
Gen. Tung Flu Hsiang is included
among those punishable; and so far
as Prince Tuan is concerned, it is well
known that the Chinese peace commits
sioners have been instructed not to
consent to any punishment of any per-
son of royal blood exceeding impris-
onment.
Some of the native journals hold
that the presence of permanent lega-
ton guards will render the emperor's
return impossible, because these would
be a menac to the court. China
says one of them, would be pcwerless
to suppress risings because prohibited
from increasing her military strength;
and the powers, therefore, would re-
new hostilities again and the people
would be moved down like hemp"
