for the physician to get his patients to
carry out any prescribed course of by

POINTS FROM HANNA
Mark Says what He Can for ShiI
Subsidies.

Washington, March 7.-Senator Hanna
made a strong speech for the ship subsidy
bill He maintained that the cost of labor
ton, maintenance and operati ion of ships.
The difference, he asserted, between the
cost of construction and operation or
American and foreign ships simply meas
ured the difference between the efficiency
and cost of American and foreign labor.
Everybody knows that the United States is
engaged in a hand-to-hand contest with for
eign nations to secure the commerce of the
orient. and that the United States had been
foremost and steadfast in its policy to secure
the markets of China and hold them an
open door. The Philippine archipelago is the
key to the orient. and when it has become a
naval station. surrounded by all the protec-
ton that a maritime fleet would need. it
would become factor in our commercial
conditions in the orient.
Mr.. Hanna said it was the purpose of
the bill, under the postal system, to es-
tablish a line on the Atlantic coast of
South America. England had gained her
supremacy in the markets Of the world
by pursuing the policy of establishing di-
rect communication. Personal contact
he said, ''is what brings results, and Eng
land, Germany and France are now ener
getically at work to put in the connecting
link between the Pacific and the orient"
He spoke Of the benefit that the pas
sage of the bill would bring as result of
increased trade with South American
countries, saying that the trade now went
by way Of Liverpool and Hamburg in for
eign ships, and thence was trans shipped
to South American ports. BY carrying
American goods in American ships there
would be an Increase Of American trade

CUBAN CONCESSIONS
Republican Conference Comes
NauEht, as Predicted.

Washington, March THE third con-
ference of republican members Of the
house Of representatives to consider the
question of Cuban tariff concessions was
held last night. About 125 members were
present and great interest was manifested
owing to the sharp division which has oc-
Cured between the supporters of the
ways and means proposition for 20 per
cent reciprocity, as put forward by Chair
man Payne, and the rebate plan proposed
by Representative Tawney of Minnesota.
Several speeches which consumed sew
eral hours were made. Speaker Hender-
son counseled the fullest discussion be-
fore action was taken in order that differ
ences might be reconculed and an AMIGA
BILE adjustment reached. The speakers
suggestion met general acceptance and the
conference adjourned until next Tuesday
night. q, -t'
The following authorized statement is
made public at the White House.
Any statement that the president has
changed his attitude on the Cuban reciprocity
question is without the slightest foundation

SPOONER FOR BENCH.
From the Senate to the National
Supreme Court. ~
ERMINE ACCEPTABLE TO JOHN G..
Lawyer Friend OF the Senator Says
His Presidential Ambition e
Has Vanished.

Special to The Journal. " !
Milwaukee, March 7.-United States
senator Spooner is said to have given IA
Vorable- ear to the suggestion that he
allow his name to be pressed upon Pres1-
dent Roosevelt for one of the justiceships
or the United States supreme court, short
ly to become vacant. A Madison lawyer
VINO has the confidence of Senator
Spooner, had this to say: 49,.
Senator Spooner wrote the strongest letter
any man could write, giving reasons why he
did not want to succeed himself senator
Ihose reasons are even stronger now than
they were then. but I have reason to be-
iieye that when that letter was written the
senator hoped and expected to be named as
candidate for the presidency Of the United
States and wished to make the race for the
highest position in the gift OF the people, for
which many persons had picked him as an
eligible candidate.
The death of Mckinley knocked that out
completely and the senator changed his mind
about not wanting another term in the SEN
ate, but he has always wanted to be a justice
OF tho supreme court Of the United States,
which is the height OF any lawyers ambition.
He Is wealthy and could afford to live in
Washington in comfort, and the appointment
would be particularly gratifying to him.
The chance is open. Justice Grays recent
attack renders the appointment Of his success
sor certain. for he is IA years old and will
not recover sufficiently to serve again. JUS
tiea Shiras is 70 and will soon retire, leaving
two vacancies.
Spooner's Equipment.
Senator Spooner's knowledge of the Philip
pines question, gained by his long service on
the senate committee on foreign relations,
should make him OF inestimable value in car
rying out the policy Of the president. which
is undoubtedly to push the Philippine ques-
ton to the ultimate possession Of the islands.
He has been in active practice for thirty-ive
years. His was the prevailing mind in the
lan1 grant litigation among half a dozen
railroads in Wisconsin, and it was his theory
upon which the supreme court settled the land
grant litigation. SDooner was the man who
worked out the solution of it.
He was the leading counsel in the Northern
Pacific litigation which developed the cele-
trateG government by injunction,' so popu-
lar with the trusts and so eXecrated by the
laborng men, and he has been employed as
counsel in important litigation all over the
United States And yet no railroad or corpo-
ration ever owned him. He has always main
tanned his absolute independence, taking the
position that as a lawyer his services were
to be commanded in the usual way and the
connection was ended when the service was
rendered. His absolute Independence is one
OF his chief accommodations.
