THREAT FROM HANNA MEN
River and Harb0r Bill a Club TO
Force Ship Subsidy.
Notice Served That II Fight VIII He
Made on Tint Appropriation If
fVrrhcr Obstacles Are Thrown in
the Way of the Measurc-Certnin
of the Senator's Greatly Ipcensed.

With the hope of the Bounty bill coming
up in the Senate today the ship subsidy
| lobby opened fire bright and early last
| night and issued threat which is intend
| ed to bring those Republicans who oppose
the measure back into line. The mandate
| has gone forth that the River and Har-
Dor Appropriation bill is TO be used as
a club for the defence of the Shipping bill,
and Mr.. Hanna will revenge himself on
| those who oppose his scheme by person
ally leading a fight on Che big appropria-
| ton bill
The threat, as issued by the press bu-
reau, is as follows:
| IF Senator Frye were to take the ad-
vice of some of the advocates of the Ship
! Subsidy bill he would give its enemies
dose of their own medicine by using the
River and Harbor bill as a club for the
defence OF the Shipping bill. Nearly all
| of the Senators on the Democratic side
| are deeply interested in the passage of
the River and Harbor bill and are vastly
| more concerned about it than they are
about opposing the subsidy measure. Any
threat, therefore, to hold up this 2ppro-
priation measure will necessarily tend to
improve the chances of the Shipping BILL"
This is regarded by the opponents of
the Hanna-Frye scheme as a broad hint
coming at a critical moment, and the bold
ness of the move has aroused even great
er opposition to the Bounty bill Both Re-
publican and Democratic Senators, who de-
sire the passage of the river and harbor
measure, are determined, It is said. not
only to put it through, but to show Mr..
Hanna, by an overwhelming vote against
the Subsidy bill, that he is no longer the
boss, and that his threats are OF no
avail.
Those Senator'S from the Northwestern
and Middle Atlantic States. including
Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and
Washington are said to be opposed to the
bill. because of the sentiment of their
constituents.
1t was stated yesterday by a prominent
Republican Senator. that the President,
while DESTROYS Of having the Shipping bill
become law at this session, is unwilling
that any of the appropriation bills should
fail
There remain. but about six weeks of
this session." said he. land there are
fourteen big appropriation bills and the
war revenue measure to be considered.
Every moment will be needed to get these
through and there is no time for any
thing else. l cannot foresee any arrange
ment that will permit the discussion of
the Subsidy bill or the bringing of this
measure 10 a vote. II the Democrats per-
sist il opposing the shipping meanure
there remains nothing but 10 send the bill
back TO the Committee on Commerce"

Cibitu and Cagayan Ratified.

On motion of Mr.. Lodge, the Senate. at
1910 o'clock yesterday, went into executive
session to consider the treaty with Spain
by which the United States purchases the
Cibitu and Cagayan Islands in the Phil
ippines for the sum of 10000. These
Islands were left outside the group bar
gained for under the Treaty of Paris.
Mr. Lodge made long statement of the
case, and explained that the acquisition
of the Islands was absolutely necessary
to give The United States clear title to
the entire archipelago. He said that the
President deemed it proper that this Gov
eminent should purchase the Islands. and
that the price offered was very small.
Mr.. Pettigrew opposed the passage of
the treaty. He held that the United
States had already more trouble In the
Philippines than could be handled, and he
did not propose to add to the burden.
Mr.. Teller said that If the purpose of
the purchase of the islands was to add
more territory to that already placed I'M
der imperialistic government, he was OPP
posed TO the treaty.
Mr.. Tillman also opposed the treaty,
while Mr.. Spooner spoke In favor Of it.
The treaty was ratified by vote of 3S
