IN THE SENATE.
Foraker Supports and McLaurin and
Harris Oppose Shipping Bill.

Washington, March 14.-ThroughOut
the session of the Senate, today. the
ship subsidy bill was under considera-
ton. The measure was discussed by
Foraker of Ohio, McLaurin of Missis-
sippi, and Harris of Kansas. Foraker
supported the bill although he admit
ted that he would have preferred to
build the American merchant marine
by the levying of discriminating duties.
He was willing, however. to defer to
the judgment OF the majority that the
pending measure embodied the better
plan.
Both McLaurin and Harris opposed
the measure on the ground that in their
judgment it was not constitutional.
They maintained that it was class leg
islation, which amounted to little
short of robbery of the people for the
benefit of few ship owners. Harris
made the point that the United States
now was paying more to the American
Line for the carrying of ocean mails
than was paid to foreign ships for
greater service.
At the conclusion of routine business
the Senate resumed consideration of the
ship subsidy bill and Foraker Ohio,
addressed the Senate. He said that
while he expected to vote for the bill
he was not entirely satisfied with it.
Ever since he had studied the question
he had been of the opinion that the
most equitable and scientific way to
rehabilitate the merchant marine of the
United States would be to inaugurate
the policy of discriminating duties I'M
der which the fathers of the country
made our merchant marine the pride
of the country.
He was of the opinion that in the
circumstances it would be impossible
to attempt to return to a policy of dis
eliminating duties. He had followed
the trend of legislation closely enough
to learn that it was highly necessary
to have ma jority in favor any propo-
sition before it was enacted into law.
He had consulted with his colleagues
in the Senate and recognized the i'm
possibility of securing a majority in
favor of the policy of discriminating
duties. Being DESTROYS of building up
the merchant marine, he looked, there
fore. for the next best scheme for ac-
complshing this result.
The senator in charge of the bill
(Seymour) had stated clearly the OBJ
iections to the adoption of the plan of
discriminating duties, q treaties being
an absolute bar to that policy. The
next best plan, to his mind, for the

sal of the state department to accede
to the request while it might have
been able to accede, was lame" The
state department in declining the re-
quest, he said. did not plead the viola
ton of international comfy, as Hit
had done.
He read a letter from a Union sur
geon stationed at City Point, Va, dur
ing the war, who told how the Union
forces allowed relief to pass throu&I
the lines. IF Gen. Sherman" askeU
he. had concentrated Southern w0l
men and children in camps, did anyone
imagine that the North would not have
allowed relief to be sent to them?''
In conclusion Burleson called atten-
ton to a Berlin dispatch announcing
that Great Britain had granted permits
sion for the distribution of charitable
gifts collected in Germany for the Boer
prisoners.
Hit, ILL.,, chairman of the committee
on foreign affairs, replied briefly to
Burleson. He said he felt some hesita-
ton about renewing the controversy
raised by a resolution which was not
before the House. He would content
himself at this time, he said, with hav-
ing read a letter he had received from
Secretary Hay. The letter was as fol-
lows:
Department of State,
Washington, March II.
"Sir: Referring to the resolution re-
Gently introduced in the House, l beg
to make the following statement of
facts: A few days ago young gentle
man called and asked whether this de-
partment would issue passport to the
Rev. Mr.. Thomas and Mrs. Thomas
who were intending to go to South
Africa for the purpose of distributing
funds which had been collected in Illi-
nois for the benefit of the sufferers by
the war. l said at once the department
would issue the passports desired and
that l would also give Mr.. Thomas a
letter commencing him to every one
whom l could influence and asking
their assistance in his errand. Inquiry
was then made whether this govern
ment would ask of the British govern
ment permission for Mr.. and Mrs
Thomas to go at will through the Brit
ish military lines and camps. sugges-
ton which / thought impracticable.
This department is ready at any
time to consult with a representative
of Gov. Yates as to the best means OF
getting into the proper hands sums
contributed by charitable people in
Illinois for the relief of the sufferers by
the war in South Africa.
Il am sir, very respectfully your
obedient servant,
JOHN HAY"
Immediately afterward Hit present
ed the resolution reported by his COM
mittee which called on the secretary OF
state for the facts in the case applica-
ton made to the state department in
behalf of Dr. Thomas and wife. The
resolution was adopted without debate

chatka, whose 100000 square miles

tree live a sort Of ibex, or mountain

SUNDAY I'm OLD VIRGINIA.
The Day Was as strictly and General
Iy Observed as in New
England.

There is an idea prevalent that the
strict observance of the Sabbath was
almost wholly confined to the north.
Nothing could be more erroneous,
writes Thomas Nelson Page, in Scrib-
ner's. ''The blue Laws of Connecticut,
surviving as q proverb for hardness,
have impressed the popular mind and
fixed an idea which was, however, not
absolutely accurate. AS sseyere as those
enactments were, they were scarcely
more rigorous, whenever the observ-
ance of Sunday was concerned, than
those under which the colony of Viz.
ginia was established and de-
veloped. Attendance on Divine serv-
dee was as strictly enforced,
and absence from all secular employ
ment as rigidly enjoined. 1t was a
church-going time. Religion en-
crossed the energies of the people.
Participation in worship was the law,
and whoever failed in it was law
breaker and was dealt with according
". Later on-that is, prior to the rev
olution~-came a certain laxness-the
reflex of the taut-strung bow-when
the fox-hunting, cock-fighting parsons
were inducted into the liyings; but, as
the causes were temporary, the main
cause being the political appointment
by an absentee metropolitan, so the
effect was not permanent.
1t was out of these conditions that
Hanover presbytery sprang, under the
influence of Patrick Henry's model the
eloquent "Parson Davies" later the
president of Princeton college. In
deed, while some of the English par
sons who have made the time noto-
rious were dicing, and drinking, and
fighting, the laity were standing
stanchly for the old customs, and were
making the saddling upon them of
such lniscreants one Of the charges
in their Indictment against the gov
ernment "at home" They withstood
innovation. They kept the faith. They
built churches which still stand to-day
as memorials Of their piety and church,
