THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Its Passage Not~Considered Certain
Even If Amended.

The Senators who attended Monday
nights caucus at which proposed amend
ments to the Ship Subsidy bill were dis
cussed with view to making it acceptable
to Republican Senators as a body were
Messrs. Allison, Aldrich. Spooner. and Nc
MILAN. They represent the Republicans
who oppose the bill Tn its present shape.
Unless amended TO meet their views it
cannot be brought to vote and this is
now doubtful under any circumstances ow-
ing 10 the delay in passing the Army bill
and the mass of other important legisla-
tion that is pressing on the time of the
short session.
The Senators above mentioned have
agreed on four amendments and fifth
is now being drawn up to be submitted to
a further conference. sThe first of these
amendments eliminates the fast line ships
now drawing mail pay. from the benefit
Of mail subsidy under the proposed bill,
coHflning them to benefits for freight car
rying. The second limits the time during
which the subsidies are to run after the
ships are built to ten instead of twenty
years. The third makes oil carrying ves-
sells commonly known as Standard Oil
ships) ineligible to the benefits of the sub
SHY. The fourth enlarges the number Of
foreign built vessels that can compete for
the benefits of the bill.
Another amendment considered neces-
sary to make the bill acceptable to the Re-
publican Senator'S, but which has not yet
been formulated, IS designed to prevent
certain steamship lines from shutting
others ont of the competition for the sub
sidy. AS the bill now reads it is held to
be possible for the big steamship lines to
place orders 10 the full capacity of ship
yards for the next ten years thus making
it impossible for other lines to have ves
sells built and make application for the sub
siGy within the time specified.
Under the terms of the pending bill. FIVE
years is allowed for the filing of the neces-
sary applications and bonds, and il is
claimed that a few big steamship COM
pauies could cause a congestion in ship
yards that would exclude all possible rivals
from competition for the benefits of the
subsidy.
An amendment designed to meet this sit
uation is being drawn up and together with
the others mentioned above. will be sub
mitted to Senators Hanna and Frye for
their acceptance. If they are refused, all
efforts to pass the Subsidy bill at this ses-
sicn will he abandoned If accepted, the
Republican Senators will make an earnest
effort to get the bill to a vote. In the

THE FILIPINO PETITION.
MIR. TelIer's Resolution Referred to
the Philippines Committee

In the Senate yesterday the Teller re-
solution directing that the petition of 1000
Inhabitants of the Philippine Islands be
printed as a document was called up.
Mr. Stewart objected to the printing of
the petition for the reason that it was "a
mass of untruths." He claimed that the
revolution in the archipelago had not been
going on since 1896, 40 claimed. and ar
gued that Aguinaldo had been bribed TO
stop fighting after that date and had ac-
cepted money to leave Luzon.
"The whole fabric OF the petition is
false" said he. "and this is proved by
documents on file in the War Department
The plan to make war on the United
States was treacherously prearranged l
have here Aguinaldos Instructions in this
matter"
He then read one of the documents said
to be an official order from the insurgent
leader
The war began by treacherously con-
spring to obtain arms from Dewey" he
resumed. and then they used these arms
on the soldiers of the United States This
petition is simply a defy as the senders
threaten TO accept nothing save independ-
ence. 1t should not receive any recogni-
tion since it comes from rebels in arms. -

Mr.. Lodge stated that the question was
one of printing 1000 names.
This is an unusual thing, and II ought
to go to the proper committee" said he.
Il therefore move to have 1t referred to

NO VOTE THIS WEEK.
Opponents of the Army Bill VIII De-
lay Its Passage.4

The opponents of the Army Reorganiza-
tion bill in the Senate have decided that
no vote shall be had on that measure be-
fore next Monday. A flibustering cam
paign has been organized by those who
are against the bill in it's present form
with Messrs Teller. Pettigrew, Butler
and Bacon as leaders. A meeting of these
Senator's was held yesterday and a pro-
gramme was outlined which gives
each OF the opposition leaders a day on
guard. so that at no time will the Re-
publicans be able to slip the measure
through. Mr.. Teller was on guard yester-
day. Mr.. Pettigrew takes the post today
Mr.. Butler on Thursday, Mr. Bacon on
Friday, and Mr.. Teller again on Satur-
day.
This scheme Will disconcert the Repub-
licans. as it was confidently predicted by
Messrs. Hawley and Proctor that a vote
would be had yesterday afternoon.
The loss of an entire week will put the
Administration supporters in another
predicament, and SO long as the ilibus-
ters retain their organization, no prog
ress can be made.
Mr.. Pettigrew stated yesterday that
every Democrat in the Senate was behind
the plan 10 prevent a vote, and that each
would do a share in helping the flibus-
ters.
IF the bill must be passed." said he. 'it
should not be in its present form. We in
tend TO talk on 1t long enough to show its
corruption to the whole country and to
get every telling argument down in black
and white. We are certain that we can
prevent a vote before Saturday, and as
that day will be occupied with eulogies on
the late Senator Gear. no action can be
taken before Monday, IL then
Mr.. Teller promises to make it hot for
the Republicans before the Army bill be-
comes a law He has several speeches
prepared with which he believes he can
fay the Administration followers.
