Although the time announced for the
departure of. the President from the

to assemble in front of the house as
early as 8 O'Clock. A detail of police

There will be two crowds OF subsidy
grabbers in the next Congress. Ac-
cording to the Chicago Chronicle they
have split up. The original crowd de-
manded subsidies amounting TO $1,000
900 a year for 30 years, or s270, 900 900
in all. The Standard Oil navy was to
receive the principal benefit OF the bill
before the last Congress. Now a new
crowd of grabbers has been organized.
They ask for only $4,000, 900 a year for
30 years, or $780, OO, 600 in all. The
struggle between the two Will be vigor-
Gus, but the probabilities are it Will end
like other raids on the Treasury by
rival greedy claimants. In the end they
will form an alliance to carry both
schemes through and divide the aggre-
gated grab. chat will make a subsidy
account of st5, 0O0, 900 a year, or $780,
