Daugherty of Ohio made very plain talk
to Mr.. Mckinley at the White House the
other day and that he succeeded in fright
ening the President into supporting him
in his race for delegate-at-large 10 the
Philadelphia convention. Notwthstdnd-
ing the fact that Senator Hanna, with
loud acclaim. declared recently that he
would not make contest for delegate
at-large because of his desire to preserve
harmony in the organization by permitting
both Grosvenor and Dick to attend the
convention as two of 0hio's big four, il

that following closely upon the visit of
Daugherty to the White House Hanna was
sent for and told by the President that In
the interest OF harmony he must stand
aside for Daugherty in order that the anti
Hanna faction may have proper represen
tatlon at Philadelphia. 1t is believed that
this stand OF the President will put Sena-
tor Hannas loyalty to the most severe test
to which II has yet been subjected, and
il is stated that Hanna has calmly in
formed the President that he will consent
TO withdraw from the contest only on con-
dition that Senator Foraker also he not

Philadelphia's success in the contest for
the Republican National Convention con-
tinue to spread the rumor everywhere
that the Quaker City has up to date failed
TO make good any part of the promised
one hundred thousand dollar guarantee
fund. When Mark Hanna went over TO
Philadelphia a week or two ago and made
a rough house" in Mayor Ashbridge's Of
fee the story became current that the
cause was Philadelphia's slowness in col
lecting the money pledged as one of the
conditions precedent to securing the con-
yontion. Al that time II was stated by
members Of the Republican National Com
mittec that the Philsdelphians would be
let of with sixty thousand dollars. Soon
afterward a Chicago newspaper cor
respondent went browsing around Phila-
delphia and claimed to have discovered
that the Quakers had raised only thirty
thousand dollars. and they werr unable

story. by way of Chicago. that not a red
cent has been poured into the treasury
of the local committees. Whereat the
Chcagoans are bowling and demanding
that the National Committee meet again

of the convention. Members Of the COM

The Frye Subsidy Biu.-Opnope


of the ship subsidy scheme estimate that
the premiums awarded TO one line alone
in Senator Frye's bill would amount every
year to s1s.O00OO0. Friends of the bill
estimate the amount The Treasury would
have to pay to this one line which owns
the St. Louis and ST. Paul class OF steam
crs, would be 100000. Even this amount
is more than the enemies OF the enterprise
are willing to have taken from the Treas
ury ever year and put into the pockets of
tie ship owners. Ii Is said that the tes
timony of experts is nov being collected
by the opponents Of the measure with the
view OF arriving at an approximately aC-
curate estimate of the cost to the Gov
crnment OF the proposed subsidies. This
testimony will be embodied in the speeches
wkich will he made in the House and the
Senate against the bill Whether or not
the Democrats in both the House and
Senate will line up solidly against the
measure is not known. II Is said. how

to make the matter a party issue. With
this end in view it is thought probable
il will be discussed at the next caucus of

q point more important than a small
bit of revenue to the government. The
express companies. he said, would have
n monopoly of the carrying of cheap

Mr.. Talbert of South Carolina, de-
clared. in opposing the bill, that the
House seemed to have Il mania for new
legislation or for re-enacting old legis-
lation. lie believed the presen law
sufficiently covered the subjects
touched upon by the bill. He quoted
Mr. GrigGs. of Georgia, ms saying the
pending bill did not change existing
law.
~ SHARP RETORT.
Mr.. Griggs entered a denial OF this
statement and Mr.. Talbert retorted
that the Georgan's ground and lofty
tumblng had made it impossible for
even himself TO tell what he meant by
his speech. In conclusion. Mr.. Talbert
declared the country editors would be
the heaviest sufferers by the passage OF
the bill.
Mr.. Cummings New York; said he
opposed the bill in the interest OF every
man who wants cheap literature. every
type-setter and every book binder in
