That everything is being done that

Ship Subsidy bill, is apparent to every
body. Even the bidding for the con-
structiOn of the six armored cruisers
and the five battleships authorized at
the last session of congress, was utiliz-
ed for that purpose. In order to GRE
ate the impression in congress that the

There is war on between the men
who bossed McKinley's campaign and
Mr.. McKinley's cabinet. The men
who bossed the campaign compelled
the republicans on the house ways and
means committee, to make reduction
of 25c net, barrel, in the beer tax, al
though it made the total of revenue re-
duction bill, now before the house, ex-
ceed $40, 600, 900, instead of keeping it
inside of $50, 100000 as recommended
by Mr.. Mckinley. Tho cabinet oh
iects and has even been talking of
of fighting the bosses in congress,
but a word from Mr.. Mckinley will
probably result in making it plain to
them that the bosses are not doing
more than they were bound to do. One
republican, speaking of the cabinet
kicks, said: "Why instead Of kicking,
these men ought to be thankful tina,
the brewers are not demanding the 81
a barrel reduction they were led to be
lieve before the election that they
would get; these men in the cabiue
would know a whole heap more abou

are predicting that the bill will be al

auctions made, but favors more ex

Senator Teller, struck those who be
lieve that we cannot construct the Mic
arauga Canal without the consent of
Great Britain, q solar plexus blow when
he said in speech advocating action
on the part Of the United States that
would be absolutely independent of
England, that to ask, England's assent
to the construction of the canal was to
admit that that country had right to
express its dissent. He warned the
senate that such position would not
be accepted by the people of this coun-
try. AT the last session OF congress, the
administration demanded the ratifca-
ton Of the Hay Pauncefote treaty with
out amendment. Now, its personal rep
resentatives in the senate, gladly agree
to having vote taken on the Davis
amendment, which provides that moth
ing in the treaty 'shall apply to meas
ures which the United States will find
it necessary to take for securing by its
own forces the defense of the United
States and the maintenance of public
order, and they know ii will adopted.
The administration is now willing to
