Washington, March 1s.--After pro-
aonged debate, the senate Monday

vote upon the measure being 40 to 81.
Senators Allison and Dolliver Ga.),
Spooner and Quarles (Wis.) and Proc
tor and Dillingham; (vt.), republicans,

for it. Some amendments to the bill
were adopted, but they were all agree
able to those in charge of the measure,
the friends of the bill voting down all
other amendments. With the excep-
ton of amendments offered by Sen
ator Allison, and accepted by Senator
Frye, limiting the time of the opera
ton of contracts made under the pro-
visions of the bill to July 1, 1920, and
providing that the amount of the ex-
Penditure under the mail subsidy para
graph should not at any time exceed
$s,0O0,000 annually, none of the amend
ments agreed to materially affected
the bill as it was reported from the
commerce committee.

Good Week Elsewhere,

New York. March 15.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Business
in Boston was completely paralyzed by the
strike of freight handlers and teamsters,
which directly affected $1,000 men and in
directly rendered other thousands idle by
holding back supplies of raw material For
tunately this struggle was brief. but an
other will begin on Monday at Fall River
Mills and other textile plants in that vi
cinity. Outside of Massachusetts, how
ever, the labor situation is exceptionally
free from controversy, and even in the coat
mines there Is less than the usual agitation
as April approaches. Distribution of spring
merchandise is making rapid progress, the
most sanguine expectations being fully
realized in all sections outside the strike
area.
Consumers of iron and steel products
are still anxious regarding conditions dur
ing the next three months. After July

ample. All records prior to February /

many idle plants this month practically as

occurs. AS operations at steel works were
also retarded, furnace stocks of pig iron
declined only about 5000 tons during Feb
ruary. The most important event of the
week was the heavy buying of steel bars
by makers of agricultural implements in
anticipation of higher prices becoming ef-
fective on April 1.

NEW OUTLET PLANNED.
Goulds Interested in Transatlantic
Freight LINERS.

London, Jan. "a powerful British
American syndicate has planned to
build fleet of refrigerator steamers to
sail weekly between New York, Boston
and Bristol. Later on it is proposed to
establi a line between New Orleans
and Bristol. Elder, Dempster & Co.,
Sir Christopher F'urnesS, Messrs. Fry,
the chocolate manufacturers, and
Messrs. Will. the well known Bristol
tobacco manufacturers, are among the
English investors; MeSSrS. Howard,
Crosby and Cook, representing various
American parties, among them the
Gould interests.
Six steamers of 5000 tons capacity to
be used exclusively as refrigerators and
fitted with the most modern improve
ments will first be built, probably half
in England and half in America The
project is the outcome of recent visit
paid to America by F. B. Girdlestone,
manager of the Bristol docks. Bristol
is at present expanding $4,000, 900 on
new docks, and is seeking by every
channel to develop the trade of the
port. The new line will work in con-
nection with the cold storage plant in
course of erection at Bristol, which viii
cost 100000 and will re completed at
the end of 1902.
The promoters assert that the new
line will afford facilities for immensely
increasing American exports of fruit
and provisions. Bristol is the center of
a population of 100000. 1t is also said
that the New ORLEANS line will bring
California two days nearer England by
doing away with the rail haul to New
York and diverting the fruit traffic
from Houston over the Texas and Pa

GROWING DIsHEARTENED.
Panama Stockholders Eager to Dis
pose of Canal Rights.

Paris, Jan. 3.-'If the United States
should succeed in obtaining possession
of the Panama canal for $40, 900 900, it
will make the best business bargain in
it's history, not even the Louisiana pur-
chase excepted said NJ. Leroy-Beau-
lien this morning. This great economist,
who has been urging the Panama stock
holders to await rigidly an offer of $780,,
900 600, finally cOnfesses that the com
pany will be forced to accept the terms
of the United States rather than face
complete ruin, which even the Goa
ition of European states which favor
the Panama scheme, would be unable
to prevent, were the Nicaragua route
selected
Other experts, while insisting that the
company had a right to expect greater
generosity from Washington, are gradu-
ally arriving at the same conclusion.
NJ. Bunau Varilla, one of the most in
fiuential stockholders of the Panama
company, who formerly opposed selling
on any terms, has issued another dra-
matte appeal which has been printed in
all the Paris newspapers, urging The
prompt and quiet acceptance of the
sum mentioned as likely to be agreed
to by the United States, ''since there is
no longer the slightest hope that the
company will be able to dictate terms"
This appeal is accepted here as sure
sign that the Panama route will shortly
become the property of the United
States.

WIRES CROSSED.
Those Being Pulled by Ohio
Political Leaders
Have the Appearance of Being
in a Hopeless Tangle.
HANNA AND FORAKER.
Made Centers of a Hot Fight For
Speakership.
Boss Cox Says the Situation is
Only Temporary.

Columbus, o., Jan. 3.-The members
of the Ohio legislature as well as the
candidates for executive positions, are
all here today participating in the con-
test previous to the caucuSeS tomorrow
evening when nominations are to be
made for the organization of the legis-
lature on Monday. But the wires are
still kept busy between the Republican
leaders and Senators Foraker in Gin
cinnati and Hanna in Washington.
While both Ohio senators have be-
come indirectly involved in the contest
through the direct interest of their re-
spective followers it developed today
that the lines are not strictly drawn
between their friends. Many members
concur with George B. Cox of Cincin-
natl in stating that this fight rs not one
for the supremacy of either Foraker or
Hanna in Ohio and that they are on
equally cordial relations with both sem
ators. Some of Hanna's closest friends
are for Price and some of F'Oraker'S
for McKinnon for speaker for personal,
local or other than fractional reasons.
The lines are much more distinctly
drawn between what are known as the
Cox men and the Daugherty men. Two
years ago ex-RepreSentatiVe Harry NJ.
Daugherty was defeated for the guber-
material nomination by Governor Nash.
In that contest, Cox threw his whole
strength to Nash as he is now doing for
Price. McKinnon was Daugherty man
then and a leader in the last legisla-
ture which was controlled in it's organi-
cation by the Daugherty men.
Cox, who is now supporting Price for
speaker, says he was pledged to him
before the present complications arose.
While Cox is friendly with both Sena-
tors, Daugherty is an avowed opponent
of both and the local feature of the con-
test is the fact that Hanna and Daugh-
erty are for the same man for Speaker.
The ENHANCEMENT goes still further
with some in talking about Foraker and
Cox being for the same man for speak
er. And the crossing of wires extends
Bushnell, ex-State Chairman Kurtz and
others who are now cooperating with
those from whom they are said to have
been estranged in late years.
Ignoring the Daugherty element en-
tirely, Cox endeavored originally to
have an agreement among the leaders
and found no opposition to Price for
speaker. After Cox had committed HIM
self he says the Hanna men said Price
would not do. Referring to his original
canvassing and the present complica-
lions, Cox says he found Senator For
aker at first friendly to McKinnon, al
though not pledged and Senator Hanna
favorable to Price and at the time that
he committed himself both of the sena-
tors approved of Price for speaker. Mr.
Cox insists that the present entangle-
ments are temporary only and will have
no bearing on future politics in the
state.

WHO CUTS ICE.
That Ts Question Supreme Court
Must Decide.

The city of Olathe has an injunction
case in the supreme court, appealed
from the district court of Johnson coun-
ty. The city owns some ponds which
it uses as reservoirs to help out the city
water supply. Several years ago the
supply was enlarged by purchasing
some land from George B. Alger, then
a member of the council, and one of the
considerations of the deed was that
Alger should have the privilege of cut
ting three tons of ice off of the pond
constructed on the land each winter,
and if the pond did not yield that
much he was to be allowed to make up
the deficiency from another pond own
ed by the city.
After the recent cold spell A1ger
wanted to put up his ice. but the pond
on his land was dry, so he turned to the
other pond owned by the city. The
water is so low in that also that the
city has been obliged to cut off many
of its consumers and has barely enough
to supply the state deaf and dumb
school and maintain a protection
against fire. For this reason objections
were made to Alger cutting ice from
the reservoir and an injunction suit
was brought in which it was claimed
that the privilege allowing him to cut
the ice was illegal. 1t was in the deed
however, and the court decided that he
was in the right.
Now the case is appealed by the city
to the supreme court, and unless the
supreme court reverses the lower court,
Alger will continue to cut ice.
