Washington, Dec 13.-By special order
the senate convened today at II o'clock.
The announced purpose OF the early
convening was to enable Mr.. Hanna of
Ohio to address the senate on the ship
subsidy bill before taking up the special
order of the day-the further consider
alton in executive session of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
Mr.. Fairbanks Of Indiana offered
public buildings and GROUNDS, directing
the appointment by the president of the
senate of three members of that COM
mittee and by the speaker of the house
of five members of the same commit
tee of the house to constitute a joint
commission to ascertain a feasible loca
ton for, and the probable cost, of
building of records in the District of
Columbia. The resolution was adopted.
AT the conclusion of the routine busi-
ness Mr. Hanna was recognized. His
speech was in sense a reply to that
delivered a few days ago by Mr.. Clay
of Georgia.
Like Mr. Clay, Mr. Hanna is a men,
ber of the committee with which the
measure now pending was reported to
the senate.
In opening his address. Mr.. Hanna
said that the remarks of Mr.. Clay had
brought into question the motives of
those who had assisted in the prepara-
ton of the pending measure AS a men,
Der of the maritime committee, as we'll
as a member of the committee on COM
merce, Mr.. Hanna said he felt it his
right and duty to explain the work Of
those committees.
For myself he declared, II resent
the imputation that any other motive
than those of interest in our country
and good public policy actuated the
committees.
Mr.. Clay Interrupted Mr.. Hanna to
disclaim any such imputation.
Mr.. Hanna declared that the four ships
of the American line which he said had
not made net dollar since they came
under the American flag, would receive
less than $250,OO0 year each if the bill
became q law.
Taking up the bill, Mr.. Hanna said the
pending measure was believed to be the
most practical legislation that could be
enacted upon the subject. He then
sketched rapidly the rise of the shipping
Industry of the great lakes. He had, he
said been connected with that industry
for nearly forty years and had seen 1T
grow from a comparatively insignificant
beginning to it's present condition of un-
para'lleled greatness. He recalled the
time nearly a third of century ago
when the ship Escanaba carried 900 tons
Of iron year to Cleveland. Today he
said there We're steamers on the great
axes which were carrying 5000 gross tons
in one cargo. He maintained that this
great shipping industry on the lakes
had been fostered and protected by sal
utary and wise navigation laws. To the
advantage of these laws was added lib
eral appropriations made by congress for
the improvement of the harbors of the
great lakes. Mr.. Hanna maintained that
in order to buiid up the American mer-
chant marine it was necessary to have
not only capital and experience but it was

and the angles broken off. while marks
of other hammering are plain on various
parts of the base. A reward has been
offered by the Pilgrim society for the de-

A DEEPER RIVER CHANNEL

Delawareans have a vital interest in
the condition OF the Delaware river
and bay, and the following editorial,
from the Philadelphia Times, will rec
ommend itself strongly to them
PhiladeTphias chief interest in the
$50, 100000 River and Harbor bill re-
ported to the House from committee
relates to the item for the deepening
OF the Delaware channel to thirty feet.
The estimate OF the government engi-
neers places the total cost OF this inn
prOvcment at S5,S00,000, The present
bill as reported appropriates 100000
for the beginning OF the work, with an
authorization OF continuing contracts
for dredging to the amount Of 81 400,-
coo. total OF 50 200, 900. or more than
one-half OF the entire estimated outlay.
The value OF this recommendation if
adopted is that 1t commits Congress to
the scheme. Having put its hand to
the nredging plow to the extent OF
three millions, there Is little danger
that Congress will at any time look
back or retrace its steps. The 100000
appropriation, with the continuous
contract contingency OF an additional
S2,400000 will simply start the work
with the faith OF Congress pledged to
its entire completion without neces-
sary delay.
The proposition to dredge the thirty
foot channel to a width Of GOO feet has
twofold significance. lt insures sea
room for the largest vessels to pass
and repass without danger of collision
or grounding, and ii ensures a channel
wide enough TO furnish the basis for
further deepening il necessary. New
York is already trying 10 obtain
thirty-six foot channel, and il this
depth OF water shemd become neces-
saiy for the purposeed navigating New
York harbor. Philadelphia win certain
ly be entitled to as deep a channel.
The action OF the River and Harbor
Committee is on the line OF broad JUS
tlce to Philadelphia as one Of the prin-
cipal seaports Of the Atlantic coast.
