London, April 24.-In the house of COM
mons today the secretary Of the admiral
ty, Hugh o. A. Reynolds Forester. re-
plying to question, said the admiralty
was considering the whole matter of
ship subsidies with the view of defining
the rights of the admiralty in the event
of contingencies arising, such as the sug-
gested shipping combine.
When the present form OF agreement
was settled upon, no trade ordinations
under foreign control were contemplated.
but the admiralty had appointed a
committee to consider and report on the
purpose and form Of future subsidy
agreements.
The admiralty, meanwhile, had made
arrangements witheth White Star line
which preclude the possibility of any of
their armed cruisers or merchant
steamers being transferred to a foreign
nag without the consent of the admiral
ty during the unexpred portion Of the
admiralty agreements.
Important legal points were involved
including the question whether In the
panies could claim that the right of pre-
vent the companies from substituting d
Foreign flag for the British Union Jack at
short notice, and whether the admiralty
mas the means Of enforcing its right of
pre-emption or hire in such case; or, il
py abandoning the subyention the COM
panies couls dclaim that the right of pre-
emption ceased.
All such points would be carefully con-
sldered and the admiralty's rights would
be ascertaned.

Washington, April Ex-senator II. D.
Money of Mississippi had an alteration
with conductor on street car this
morning, which resulted In the senator's s
receiving two severe blows from the
conductor and the conductor being cut
quite severely in the righ hand with a
knife.
AS Senator Money relates the circum-
stances, he was riding from his home
to the Baltimore 4 Ohio depot to take the
o'clock train on that road for Balti-
more. where he goes frequently for medi-
cal treatment of his eyes.
He had taken a car on the Fourteenth
street branch of the Capital traction line
and had CHANGED to board a car which
stops at the Peace monument, half a
dozen blocks short of his destination He
had failed to notice this circumstance
until the car began to turn around the
monument. The car bound for the depot
was Immediately behind the car in
which he was seated
Asked for Transfer.
The senator says that he had only
three or four minutes In which to make
his train, but that, after he discovered
he was on the wrong car, he called to
the conductor and asked him for a
transfer ticket to the car bound for the
depot.
He does not recall what the conductor
replied, but, failing to receive the ticket
and recognizing that he had no time to
lose. he jumped from the car he was on
and boarded the other. He had no
sooner taken his seat, he says, than the
conductor of that car approached him
and asked him for his ticket
He then told the conductor that he had
not had time to secure a transfer and re-

The conductor replied that the sena-

pay his fare. whereupon the senator told
him that he had paid one fare and, being
entitled to transfer, which he had
asked for but had not received, he would
not pay another.
Thereupon the conductor told him that
II he would not pay his fare he would
put him off the car and Immediately pro-

If the prices of meats, which have
been soaring for the past ten days. do not
take tumble soon, there Is danger that
the restaurant men and caterers In
Butte may decide upon concerted ac-
ton and advance their prices to meet

The restaurant men may get together
and arrange new schedule of prices.
or they may decide to let each restaurant
man make an advance in his prices to
suit himself.
