WASHINGTON.
From cur Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Feb. d

Washington, Feb. d, 1907.
The shrewdness of the Hanna
Mckinley bluff in the Senate by
antagonizing appropriation bills
with the Ship Subsidy bill cannot
be denied. Having determined
that there shall be an extra session
of Congress anyway, they could af-
ford to make this bluff. If they
succeed in getting the subsidy steal
through by it, they will dodge the
charge of arranging for the extra
session just to get it through ; if
the subsidy bill fails to get through,
it may also prevent some of the
regular appropriation bills from
getting through, thus furnishing
other reasons for the extra session
than President McKinley's sudden
desire to have Congress provide
form OF civil government for the
Philippines and his anxiety lest the
Cubans should have to wait few
months for Congressional action ON
the constitution they are now max
ing. Unless all signs are wrong,
there is some partisan deviltry be-
hind this extra session plan. 1t is
easily conceivable that if the Re-
publicans intend to do some parti-
san legislating in the Fifty-ssventh
Congress, for the purpose OF per-
petuating themselves in power,
they would prefer doing it this
Spring to postponing it to the regu-
lar session, which will not close
until a few months before the next
Congressional campaign. The large
Republican majority in botL.
branches of the next Congress will
be a great temptation to a certain
class of their leaders to indulge il
partisan legislation.

the Republicans are going to
do in the next Congress what
they were afraid to do in counec-
ton with the re.apportionment bill
passed by the present Congress
poke their fingers into the internal
affairs of those Southern states that
have by constitutional provision
curtailed negro suffrage. Enough
was said when the credentials OF
Senator-elect Simmons, of North
| Carolina, were presented to the
Senate to show that an attempt is
, to be made i'll the next Congress to
get the matter before Congress by
! objecting to the seating of Senators
from the states that have restricted
suffrage - North Carolina, South
Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Whether the attempt will succeed
will depend upon the support it
gets from the more conservative
Republicans, many of whom have
said in private conversations that
they were opposed to any agitation
of this sort in Congress, and would
have favored the suffrage restric-
tons had they lived in the states
that have adopted them. Demo
cratic Senators will to man op-
pose any and every move to ques-
ton the right of Senators from the
four above named states to take
their seats in the next Congress.

Although the Ship Subsidy bill
is not before the House, Represent
ative Thayer, of Massachusetts,,
took advantage Of the wide latti-
tude allowed in the discussion of
appropriation bills to make strong
speech against it, bristling with
common sense arguments showing
that the measure would not result

and concluding with these words
"If the American Merchant Marine

porary intoxicant provided by the
provisions Of this bill, and we have

Senator Turner, of Washington,
in speech against the Ship Subsidy
bill, characterized it as vicious in
its principle and absurd in its ex-
travagance /; one-quarter govern
ment paternalism and three-quarters
lawless, piratical raid upon the
public treasury, its principal pur-
pose being to enrich a few private
individuals, by giving $27o, 900, 900
of public money to one favored in
dustry. Mr.. Turner called partic-
ular attention to the fact that in
stead of operating for twenty years,
as generally supposed, at cost of
$3.50, 900, 900, the bill, if it became
law, would operate for Thirty
years and cost S27o, 900, 900.

rhe House Judiciary Committee,
by vote of 10 to 5, adopted res
olution declaring that Representa-
tive Richardson, Of Alabama, is
only entitled to draw salary from
August 6, 1900, the date of his
election to fill the vacancy made by
the resignation Of Ger. Joe Wheeler,
If sanctioned by the House, as it
probably will be, this decision will
serve as a precedent. 1t has been
contended by some that Mr.. Rich
ardson's salary should date back to
the day Gen. Wheeler resigned and
by others that it should date from
March 4, 1899, the beginning of
the Fifty-sixth Congress.
