HANNA DISAPPOIN TED.
Wanted al Extra Session in Order to Pass
Shin Subsidy Bill
Especial Dispatch 10 The Times.)

Especial Dispatch to The Times)
WASHINGTON, Feb. est is said
that Senator Hanna is greatly disap-
pointed because an extra session of the
Fifty-seventh Congress will not be held
The principal reason why the Ohio Sena-
tor is dsgruntled is due to the fact that
having failed during the Fifty-sixth ses-
sion to set through the national shipping
subsidy bill, he hoped that an extra ses-
sion might give him the opportunity to
have passed the measure he so much de-
sired to have enacted into law.
Just now it seems unlikely that Presi-
dent Mckinley will find it necessary to
assemble the Fifty-seventh Congress in
extraordinary session. This means Il
delay Of more than a. year to Senator
Hanna and the friends Of the bill. And
this delay, it is said. will cost them
millions of dollars. The prospects at this
time. it might be added, do not seem
favorable even for the early passage of
the subsidy bill at the next session of
Congress. Mr.. Hanna may be able to get
it through before the F'ifty-seventh ses-
sion takes its summer recess. though
in many quarters it is doubted whether
he will be successful in this respect.
1t has heretofore been pointed out that
Senator Hanna. the maker of Presidents,
Senators and Cabinet officers, is insig-
nticant as the leader Of men who have
served III the Senate longer and know
more about the intricacieS of legislation
than the Senator from Ohio. He has not
only failed to push through the subsidy
bill. but other legislation in which he
has been deeply Interested has been de-
feated by the efforts of his Republican
colleagues.
