SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
NOT MENTIONED IN LIST
Measure Under Considera-
ton in Rules Committee.
Omission Regarded as Significant De-
spite Fact That Chairman Gros-
veGor States List Incomplete.

In the course Of consideration yes
terday OF the rule to govern the debate
or disposition of the Pacific cable bill
General C-osvcnor, a member of the
Committee on Rules, read short list
OF measures which he said We're being
passed upon by that committee for
presentation 20 the House. General
Grosvenor is chairman OF the Commit
tee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries,
before which is pending the ship sub
siiy bill that the Senate sent over to
the House several months ago. and it
was regarded as significant that it waa
on the list he gave.
He explained that it was onl va partial
list. but the fact is quite generally ac-
cepted as conclusive that it Will not
come before the House at this session,
General Grosvenor declined to state
what would be the fate of the new meas
IRE. saying that no one knew. and it
was not time now to say anything.
Ever since the bill was sent to
the House Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries it has been known
that a majority OF that committee did
not favor its passage, and that fact &C
counts for the inaction of the commit
Tee.
One of the original opponents of
the bill ON. the Republican side, MIR.
jones of Washington, has changed his
mind under the influence of local SEN
timent in. his State, and now advo-
Gates the bill, but that still leaves three
Republicans in opposition-Messrs. Hop
kins of Illinois, Minor of Wisconsin, and
Stevens of Minnesota. These. with the
Democratic members of the committee
make a snaiority. SO that under the
present conditions it is impossible to
get the bill out.
Mr. Hopkins said yesterday that his
four months tour OF the State of Illi-
nois, covering every portion and prac-
tically every county. had satisfied him
that whatever public sentiment, may
have existed in support of the PROPOSE
ton has disappeared. 1.-THE newspapers
in my State. which formerly favored the
ship subsidy bill, no longer advocate it,
and their policy fairly reflects the pub
lie view"
Mr.. Stevens of Minnesota said he had
heard no intention expressed by any one
of bringing the matter to vote in the
committee, and does not expect the bill
to come before the House.

SUBSTITUTE ANTI-ANARCHY
BILL COMMITTED IN SENATE
Mr.. Hoar Withdraws Motion to Non
Concur and Asks for
Conference.

The bill for the protection of the Pres
ident, with the House substitute for it,.
was yesterday laid before the Senate.
MIR. Hoar (Rep, Mass.) moved that the
Senate non-concur and ask for con-
ference.
Mr.. Bacon Dcm.. Gal suggested that,
as the House substitute was practically
a new bill, it should be first considered
by the Judiciary Committee. .s. ...
Mr.. Hoar said that the objection to
that was that if the bill went to the
committee it might not be reported back
this month. Still. he withdrew his first
motion and moved the reference of the
bill to the Judiciary Committee.
The motion was agreed to.

WANTS HOUSE BILL PASSED
A Two and Half Hours Speech in the
Senate-Uniform Verdict, He Says,
Favors Nicaraguan Route-Commis-
sion's Bargain Counter" Report.

At o'clock yesterday the Nicaragua
Canal bill was laid before the Senate.
Mr.. Turner Dem, Wash) took the
floor and began his speech favoring the
construction OF the canal by the Nicara-
guam route
The uniform verdict he said, had been
in favor of the Nicaraguan route, unless
the supplementary report of the last
commission were considered an excep-
ton. There were no engineering diff
culties by the Nicaraguan route. and the
cost would be less than by any other
route.
But" said he, THE commission was
u-7hle TO resist the aliurement OF the
bargain counter. 1t has changed its for
mer conclusion. and now gives it's pref
erence to the secondhand, discredited,
and abandoned project of Panama"
Panama Route "Derelict."
Mr.. Turner referred to the Panama
project again as the Panama "derelict,"
and said that its disadvantages were
manifest. palpable, and overruling And
he proceeded to read testimony in sup
port of his own view of the subject,
summing up with the statement that the
cost Of the Panama Canal Including the
$40. ZOO. coo to be paid to the company
would amount 10 S192, 600 ,OOO-S12. 600 900
more than the amount to which the Mic
aragua Canal is limited.
Mr. Turner argued at great length to
prove that the order OF the French
court. permitting the new canal COM
pany to sell its franchises and property,
was irregular. and at variance with ev-
cry proper system of Jurisprudence. that
the company had no righr to dispose of
old company. and therefore, that no
valid sale OF the property to the United
States could be made. particularly in
view of the fact that the new company
through its representative before the
Senate committee. claimed to be a SOL
vent going" company. able to continue
and complete the work OF constructing
the canal.
No Sale and No Confirmation.
Mr.. Fairbanks rep, Ind) inquired
whether there had been a confirmation
of the order of sale made by the court
Not that | am aware of. Mr.. Turn
er replied. There has been no sale
and there could not be any confirmation
OF it"
Mr.. Turner concluded his two and
half hours speech by declaring that

canal at the isthums, and who wanted
it now. could only give adequate and
forceful expression TO their wishes by

Confuses the Currency.

Objection is also made to the system
on the ground Of confusing the currency,
which confusion would grow with the in
creased use of the post sheck"
Everybody would have to wotch
whether it was payable to bearer. or
TO order, and whether or not II had
been properly indOrsed. If written
upon, it must be scrutinized to learn
whether a postage stamp had been af-
fixed or Cancelled.
1T is difficult to measure the newt
able annoyances and grievances to fol-
low, but they would certainly be very
great, and much beyond any resulting
advantage"
Messrs Madden and Castle believe
that while there are serious objections
TO the proposed bills. they could be over
come, and give MIR. Post special credit
for having proposed what appears to us
to be the best method yet devised for
supplying this manifest public need,
and equal credit for having brought the
matter prominently to the attention of
the public, Congress and the depart
ments."

MINORITY REPORT SUBMITTED
Assistant Postmasters Wynne and
Shallenberger, Treasurer Roberts, and
Comptroller Ridgely Believe Plan
Cannot Serve Purpose Intended.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
forwarded to Representative Loud OF
California, chairman of the House Com
mittee ON Postoffices and Postroads,
a report of the joint committee of the
PostofIice and Treasury Departments on
a bill to establish what is known as
the post check system
This so-caIled system" is an inven-
ton patented by a Mr.. C. W. Post. who
offers to assign his patent to the United
States on its adoption by the Govern
ment. MIR. Post is a very wealthy man,
and for some months past has been
maintaining in Washington an educa-
tional bureau with several attorneys as
auXiliaries for the purpose Of educating
the people and the departments to a
point where his system of checks will
be adopted. ..--,,r..- ,.r,
The committee made a very careful
investigation OF the subject, and Robert
J. Wynne, First Assistant Postmaster
General; ". S. Shallenberger, Second
Assistant Postmaster General; Ellis H.
Roberts. United States Treasurer, and
William B. Ridgcly. Comptroller of the
Currency, report that the system is sub
ject TO so many objections that its adop-
tion should not be contemplated. Ed
win c. Madden, Third Assistant Post
master General, and Henry A. Cassell,
auditor for the Postofiice Department
favor its adoption.
The Majority Report.
In the majority report Messrs. Wynne,
Roberts, and others say:
THE project of the pending bill is
cumbersome. compels delay and invites
friction. The currency can best be
managed under the laws by the Treas
ury and the mails by the Postoffice De-
partment.
This committee can see no advan-
tage in trying to yoke together unequal
iy these two departments, and is con
fronted By many objections to such a
policy. We do not believe that any de-
vice for sending money Though the mails
can be invented which throws the bur
den on the Treasury. as in these bills.
The committee recommends the ex-
tension of the use OF postal notes as
vastly preferable to the so-called post
check
In the report the committee says:
The theory Is that these post checks
will serve most persons who live in
rural districts, remote from postofiices.
Many OF the persons Will be unfamiliar
with the technicalities of business and
not in the habit Of drawing checks Err
rors in the required addresses viii be
inevitable. preventing payment OF the
checks The absence of the stamp Will
nullify the purpose OF the drawer. Fail
ure in any of the details will be fatal to
the object sought"
After pointing out that years circu-
lation would render the post check"
beyond use as a check. the committee
points out that it would be very easy to
erase from the proposed post check"
the name of the payee when it becomes
again plain note, payable TO bearer.
Thus the plea Of convenience on one
hand" says the report. lis Offset by de-
cided Inconvenience on the other, while
the safety of the post check device falls
before such practical weaknesses and
difficulties"

ANOTHER ANOTHER
ADVANCE
PRICES OF MEAT NOW ALMOST
BEYOND THE REACH OF PEo-
PIE OF MODERATE MEANS.

The advance in meats that has at
traeted the attention of the Federal
government and provoked ats threat
to attack a supposed meat trust is
being felt sharply in Brunswick.
With prices higher than they nave
been in many years. and still prom
Using - climb, local dealers are
beginning to wonder and worry, while
the consumers are already kicking
vigorously at the amounts they must
pay for steaks, chops, etc.
Prices are higher than they have
been in ten years. Restaurant keep
ers are preparing either to raise the
price or cut down the size of meat or
ders.
Housekeepers are laying in supplies
of canned goods, while thousands Of
persons promise to become vegetari-
ans. This condition OF affairs pre-
walls all over the country. In New
York many butchers are closing out
their business. At Attlesboro, Mass,
citizens have agreea to abstain from
meat for two weeks on account of the
high prices All over the United
States this condition seems to pre-
vail, and the question now arises;
What is the cause?
In the north and east they lay 1t all
on the beef trust, which the people
declare has put up prices TO an UNI
warranted extent, and IL making me
dealers and the people pay.
They claim that while the average
prtce to packers is from Ga to
III cents, against 5lA to Ga cents
year ago. the dealers have to pay
about three cents over the last years
price.
One OF the local dealers said yes
terday, regarding the meat market:
Prices just nov are not excessive
considering the supply Good cattle
are very scarce, on the hoof being 81
to Z cents, and hogs being 6H - ~
cents.
The short corn crop. combined with
the big popular demand for beef and
the way the farmers have marketed
their stock up during the past few
years is the cause for the advance. |
don't look for much higher prices"
One of the best known butchers
said: Prices are higher than they
have been for ten years. The high
price mas caused many families to
cut of meIlt as an article g diet
There win be no famine on this very
account. There Ia no pEosp~~- ~ y
decrease at present. while. If the pres.
ent live stock prices continue. fur
Their advance may be expected. The
offerings are very poor, indeed"
The high price of meat has car
ried other things with it. Poultry
mix and butter and eggs have all
risen Butter went up SIX cents &
pound recently, While eggs have been
auttering at high ngurss.
