|SHIP-SUBSIDY BILL
STRONGLY OPPOSED,
White House Influence May Be.
Necessary to Save Senator =
Hanna's Pet Measure. 80
REPrRLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Nov. l7.-An members Of
Congress who have arrived here seem to be
interested In the sl,ip-subsidy bill more
than in all other measures combined Many
are expressing opposition.
Following the objections made by Eepre-
sentative Burton of Cleveland, at least half
n dozen Republican members Of the House
have declared they will oppose the bill in
its present form. Vigorous opposition is
expected in the Senate. and Senator Ham,.
will have his hands full saving his pet
measure.
Most of the opposition can undoubtedly
be traced to the fact that the bill In it's
present form is not satisfactory to large
shipping interests, who desire q share of
the 100000 subsidy.
One amendment these ship owners desirs
Is provision including In the apportion-
ment of the subsidy foreign ships p,Ir-
chased by Americans. provided these pur-
chasers give orders for corresponding
amount of tonnage in new ships to be built
in this country The point in this is that
when the owners purchase the foreign ships
and give the orders for the corresponding
new ships. the foreign ships will begin to
get the beEefit of the subsidy. and there can
be indefrite delay of the building OF the
new ones
Among representatives In addition to Mr..
Burton who have expressed hostility TO the
subsidy bill are NIessrs. Hull Of Iowa.
Hemenway of Indiana and Mondell OF Wyo-
ming.
Presiden. Mckinley is understood to be so
strongly in favor of the bill that in ad-
he will put on pressure similar to that
used to pass the Porto Rfcan tariff bill.

While there are two Town Marshais in

has Il majority In the Council. and this re-
suited in duplex appointments. and several
of the civic offices have two incu:nbent@
among them beEg the positions of Treas-
urer and Marshal. This confusion has nat
lIrally resulted in suits and cross suits In
the court.
The first test was between the Marshals.
Henry Scovel was appointed by the ma
