before the House.

practice of the House to refer to the Com

Mr.. Frye, the Presiding Officer of the
Senate, who has charge of the Hanna Ship
Subsidy bill, and who has for more than
a week occupied the centre aisle of the
Chamber in indignant righteousness, as
the Democrats spoke against the measure,
yesterday received a bitter scoring at the
hands Of Mr.. Turner. Mr.. Frye had re-
ferred TO Mr.. Turner'S speech against the
bounty as very amusing" and had made
the statement that those who had spoken
in opposition to the bill showed their
dense ignorance"
Mr.. Turner stated that Mr.. Frye had
a vicious Job on his conscience and could
not afford to laugh at anybody. The fact
that he had laughed, he said, showed that
he (Mr. Frye would laugh in a graveyard
at midnight. He argued that the man
who had charge Of crime and was push
Eng a steal had no room to laugh at any
body. He called Mr. Frye "a gudgeon
smelling around in the mud for food and
accepting the decayed with the good"
Mr.. Frye was driven from the Chamber in
his anger and remained away during the
balance OF Mr.. Turner'S speech.
Mr.. Frye called the bill up at the close

THE SUBSIDY BILL DEAD
Republican Senators Reluctantly
Admit Defeat.
The Determined Opposition of Ger
thin Members OF the Minority
Practically Displnces the Scheme
for This Session. The Appropria-
lions Now to BE Considered.

The Republican leaders in the Senate
were yesterday reluctantly forced to ad-
NIT that the passage of the Ship Subsidy
bill at this session was effectively blocke
by the dilatory tactics of the opposition.
With a tacit understanding with the Deu-
ocratic leaders that vote should be
taken on the bill after reasonable debate
there was every confidence that by the
end of next week the measure would be
passed and sent to the House.
Friday afternoon. however, the opposi-
ton Senators inaugurated a policy of de-
lay, feature of which was the offering of
the Nicaragua Canal, the Antitrust and
the Anti Pooling bills as amendments to
the Shipping bill with the object of fur
nishing material for prolonging the de-
bate.
opponents OF the bill that they were pre-
pared to continue its discussion until the
end of the Congress If necessary. and
their course yesterday in putting up long
speeches and by frequently suggesting the
absence OF quorum REINFORCED this dec
laTation. The situation was further COM
plicated by the opposition which has de-
veloped in the Republican ranks TO the
passage of the bill, even in its amended
form. there being, according to the polls
made, nine, or perhaps ten, Senators from
the Middle West whose support has at
no time been more than lukewarm who
would assist the Democrats in side-track-
ing the measure If it could be done in an
indirect vote.
But twenty nine days of the session yet

parts of four others ARE set apart for
eulogies. In that, time must be passed
the thirteen great appropriation bills. the
failure of any one, Of which would en-
tail an extra session of Congress, which
the Senators are most anxious to avoid.
With the certainty OF forcing an extra
session If the Shippingbbill. In face of the
present opposition, is kept before the SEN
ate much longer, the Republican leaders
acknowledge that they must abandon their
present programme of business so far as
that bill Is concerned, and that It's con
sideration will be postponed until the next
regular session in. December or be taken
up at an extra session If one becomes
necessary 10 settle The Cuban question.
The present debate riay. however. pro-
coed for day or two in order to further
test the strength of the opposition, but 1t
Is probable that early in the week the
Shipping bill will be displaced as uniin-
ished business by the District OF Column

TO be followed by the bill reducing the
war taxes, which is next on the Repuh-
lican order of business. Other appropria-
ton bills Will be up for action before those
two measures are disposed of and Will take
up almost the remainder OF the session.
The House Oleomargarine bill has already
been tentatively added TO the order OF
business, and II an opportunity occurs be-
tween appropriation bills that measure
will probably be considered.

Representative Henry Smith of Michi-

particularly opposed to the payment of

sheriff cricket Makes a Trip 10 New
York for a Prisoner

Sheriff VIM. Cricket has been sue
csssful in locating and arresting one
A. Jacobson, indicted by the Mahas-
ka county grand jury for disposing
of mortgaged property, and the man
now lies committed in Jail to await
trial. Mr.. Cricket had the fellow
pretty well located and sent word to
Brooklyn, N. Y for his apprehen-
sion. The man was found and ar
rested and Mr.. Cricket departed for
the prisoner, being first armed with
the necessary papers from the gov
ernors OF the states. Mr.. Cricket
made the homeward trip alone with
his prisoner, securing him to him
self by means of handouts.
Mr.. Cricket speaks in the most
complimentary terms of the treat
ment he received at the hands of the
New York police and officers. There
was an officer detailed to accompany
him and to show him the city and
every attention and courtesy was
shown our, sheriff by this officer.
They spent nine hours together in
getting over the city. They took in
everything from the Navy Yard to
the Grant monument, and aside from
the official nature of the trip, the
sheriff says it was one of the most
pleasant he has ever taken.
