tion on the Ship Subsidy bill. Another
adverse influence DIT work is contained in
the attitude OF eight or ten Democrats in
the House. This number OF the minority.
all Of them representing districts directly
interested in the shipping trade. are
committed to the bounty scheme, but they
dare not vote for It at this session. Every
thing considered, therefore, it seems that
the chances are decidedly unfavorable TO
action on the Payne Hanna bill at this
session. II is expected that Mr.. Hanna
will continue to advocate the bill in ali
his pOstprandial oratory. as by that course
he Will be able to rcassure the sne idl
interests clamoring loudest for bounty
legislation that he is their friend so that
he will be on the proper terms with them
when he passes the hat for campaign con-
trbutions.
Woodruff ut the CnpitoI.-The Hon
Timothy L. Woodruff carried his Vice
Presidential boom to the Capitol yester-
day, and various experts who inspected it
declared it to be a right healthy boom.
Governor Woodruff was introduced to nu-
merous members of both branches Of Con-
gress and made an excellent impression
on Republicans and Democrats alike. So
much misrepresentation has been circu-
lated concerning his sartorial tastes and
his youthful appearance that many mem
bers of Congress who had never met him
before frankly confessed 10 him that they
had moderated his ability. Many Of them
had pictured him as a giddy youth Of fash
ion and frivoity, and when they were in
PRODUCED to a solid, substantial looking
citizen, well versed in contemporaneous
affairs, and straightforward enough TO tell
them that he wasEa candidate for Vice
President they formed a very different
opinion OF him. From this viewpoint Gov
ernor WoodrUh's visit to Washington un-
douutedly has been Of benefit TO him. At
the same time it is conceded that he has a
great deal vet TO overcome in his Vice
Presidential race. Mr. Hanna is still op-
posed to him, and that counts for more
than all the friends Woodruff can make
between now and the meeting of the Phila-
delphis Convention. Mr. Hanna declared
three months ago chat Woodruff was too
young, despite the fact that he is several
years the senior Of Governor Roosevelt
whom Mr. Hanna is determined shall 90
on the ticket with Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.
Woodruff is forty-tWO years old though
he could easily pass for thirty-fve. By
his own uuaided efforts he has accumu-
lated a large fortune and is now earnestly
