IN POLICE COURT
The Recorder Bulling the Schedule of
 Fines for Vagrants.

The city recorder had two beautiful specimens of the genus hobo before him yesterday afternoon. though they were of distinctly different types. The hobo nuisance is so notorious it has become necessary to bull the market price of fines for this offense. A man giving the name of Morrisey was caught by Officer Porter on Jackson street He pleaded guilty, saying he was simply up against it and working north in a vain search for work. The recorder gave him some encouraging words and compared the county and city systems of punishing vags. He said the city system was by far the best. for if a man proved to be a good prisoner he might get a rebate on time ano be allowed to show a clean pair of heels. His remarks seemed to please the man, who thought he was going to get away easy. but when the court said a hundred days the silence in the room was so thick one could cut it with a knife. The rebate on time was simply allowed to stand as some thing to be worked for.
 The other prisoner was a young man scarcely more than twenty. He used good language and evidently has a BOOu euucitlOn- But ne was lncilned to fight the case and take issue with he story of the officers. He was caught loafing around saloons. and said he was being persecuted by the gamblers because he won bet once when he came to town. He said he was waiting for a letter from his mother in Denver or Kansas City or somewhere else. en- closing the addresses of his Arizona relatives. His case was postponed till Monday. to give his mail chance to catch up.

A CRITICAL DOORKEEPER.

Two young men sat through the first act at a local theater. then adjourned to a neighboring tavern for refresh ment. The acting was bad and would have excused the use of stimulants by any but the players When about to re-enter the building only one could produce his return check.
 Its all right said he of the check. airily. you remember him; he's with me-
 Yes" answered the gatekeeper, more doubtful than polite. but he may have given his check to some other person."
 But he didn't" was the convinc- ing reply. Hes a stranger here and hasn't an enemy in the city"

HOUSE AND SUBSIDY BILL.
REPRESENTATIVES, GRoSvENoR AND
RAY SAY THE SHIPPING MEAS
URE WILL BE PASSED.
[Br TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBuSE.I

Washington. Jan. 7.--General Cirosvenor, in
speaking of the chances of the passage of the
Ship Subsidy bill in the House Of Representa-
tives, said to-day:
One of the causes for the change Of sentiment
in the House in favor of the passage of the
measure is the recognition OF the fact that the
chief source of the opposition to the bill comes
from the free trade and free ship interests, and
another is that there is a growing manifesto
tion Of favor TO the measure on the part OF the
various labor organizations of the country IL
is obviously beginning to be regarded by these
organizations that the practical workings OF
the measure will be greatly TO their interest
Consequently their influence In it's behalf is be-
ginning 70 be felt This demonstration on the
part Of the labor interests will doubtless prove
a eliminating influence in behalf of the BILL be-
cause If the producers and laborerS OF the Ma
tion both unite in favor OF a proposition the
foreign influence against this measure must give
way. In fact, there Is no question about the
passage Of the bill by the House. It is already
settled that the necessary rule will be reported
by the Committee on Rules for its consideration
Immediately after It comes from the Senate. and
not more than two days debate will ensue there
after.
Representative Ray. Of New York. the chair
man Of the House Judiciary Committee. said:
think the bill will pass because it ought 70
passn II Is the American way. when new In
duStfy comes to the front and II begins 20 make

tves of the people help IL 10 get start by CIV

conditions to a industry. and the proposed
subsidy is only protection under another name.
The industry deserves this protection and ought
TO have II, and believe It will have II. The
bill is one of the soundest and most perfect
measures ever offered in Congress, and this is
due to the fact that Il has been under pTepara-
ton long and carefully by a body OF experts, the
most competent in the country for that purpose
Their practical wisdom and thorough knowledge
OF the subject in oil its bearings and details are
evident that they cannot but command gen.
eral respect and gradually disarm opposition as
the great merits OF the bill become more end
more fully recognized.
In my opinion IL will be found that while large
cargo carrying vessels are particularly fosteTed
and encouraged by the BILL these vessels win not
be the very slowest and lowest powered steUm-
ships. as assumed by many, but will be ships Of
about fourteen knots. think this Is as IL should
be. I think builders will soon discover that Il
will be necessary to provide some such rate OF
speed in order to compete successfully with the
cargo carrying vessels of other nations ond that
ships OF such description will prove In the long
run the most economical and most satisfactory
for the purposes OF the American ocean carrying
