is THE HOUSE THREATENED?
Ship Subsidy Senators Said to Have
Given Hints.

Washington April 10.--The shil
Is reported on good authority In the
house wing of the capitol that sena
tors interested in the subsidy bill
have given out a strong hint that un
less 1t be passed in the house there
will be no lsthmian canal nor river
and harbor bill passed by this con
gress. The situation between the
two branches is very much strained
and should the present feeling con
tinue all three of these bills may fai
of final passage. The canal and
river and harbor bills have passed
the holse and are pending in the sen
ate. The shipping bill has passed
the senate and is pending in the
house.
The senate friends of the shipping
bill appreciate the delicacy of feeling
in the house on account of the com
ing of congressional elections. But
the fears of the leading house repub-
licans furnish the real reason for the
general opposition to bringing the
bill forward in the house. At pres.
ent there are only five members of
the committee who are In earnest In
their efforts to get favorable report.
These are Representatives Grosven-
or. Hopkins. Young. Vreeland and
Littlefield, all republicans.
A leading democrat of the commit
tee said that the minority will act as
unit in opposing the report of the
bill. except possibly Mr. McDermott
of New Jersey who may vote with
his friends. In this case there would
be five dmocrats opposed to the bill
to add to Representatives Minor.
Stevens. Jones and Fordney. who are
known to be against the Frye bill in
its present form. Two republicans
Representatives Green and wachter
are yet undecided. but If made a
party question might vote for the bill.
One of the principal objections to
the bill as il came from the senate
offered by the republican opponents
in the committee is that in the mat
ter of benefits its operation would be
limited to very few Some of the
republicans of the committee pointed
" ask that if the object is to stimu-
late fast mail service why it is that
