SHIP BILL DEAD.
Laid Quietly to Rest in the House
Committee PiGeOD-HOle.

Washington. April 4.-The ship sub
sdy bill is dead for this session. 1t
will not be reported from the house
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries. although Gen. Grosvenor, the
devoted friend of Senator Hanna and
earnest advocate of the bill. is chair
man of the committee.
There are two reasons why Grosvenor
will not report the bill First, he has
a majority of the committee against the
bill, as Representatives Minor Of Wis
consin. Fortlney of Michigan, Jones of
Washington and Stevens of Minnesota
will vote with the Democrats against
reporting the bill tavorably. Second,
the speaker will not help Grosvenor to
win over these four Republicans. The
speaker has great influence to persuade
Republican members to vote for a
measure in committee if he desires that
bill should be reported to the house.
But Speaker
Henderson Does Not Believe
1t is wise to have this bill reported at
this session. AS Senators Allison and
DOlliver voted against the bill when it
passed the senate. the speaker does
not care to assume any responsibility
for the bill in the house. 1t would be
embarrassing for him to use the ma
chinery Of the house and his influence
as speaker to pass Z bill which the two
Republican senators from his state
voted against.
The speaker will not try to persuade
the four opponents of the bill on the
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries to allow the bill to be reported
to the house. He is satisfied to have
them accept .he responsibility for
keeping the bill in the committee to
the end Of the session. Gen. Grosvenor
also has lost interest in the bill. 1t will
sleep through the remainder of this
bession in his committee room.

Alexandria, Mimi, April 3.-As an
outcome of the murder of Mangus
Johnson, who was found dead in his
granary near here several days ago.
Gustaf Larson and his employer, An
drew Jacobson, will undoubtedly be
held for trial on charge of murder, the
former having broken Gown and con-
fessed, duplicating the other. Larson
says Jacobson told him to buy the re-
volver and do the shooting for the
morey that was on the person of the
old man. Larson said he bought the re-
volver on Saturday and told jacobson
he was ready. Jacobson told him to do
it while he, Jacobson, was in town. 1t
was understood Larson, was to have
the money that was On the old man
and that jacobson was
TO Loot the House.
Larson said he wanted to back out
at one time, but was told by jacobson
that If he did so he shold die. This
threat SO frightened him that he car
ried out the crime as it had been
Planned. On the day Of the murder
Jacobson was in town. and, as it ap-
pears now, was very conspicuous and
was with many people about town. He
left that evening about o'clock and
rode part of the way with q farmer.
He walked the last two miles and
reached home about 10 o'clock. The
murdered man was found before that
time. Tuesday morning Sheriff Lund-
gren was at Jacobson's house just as
he was up and before he was entirely
dressed and washed. The evidence
showed that Jacobson had either been
from his home to Johnsons or from
Johnson's house to his own some time
between the day before end
The Shcriff's Arrival
at the Jacobson residence early Tuas-
day morning. 1t was late Monday
night when the authorities left the
Johnson house after making the in
vestigation. The theory is that some
time during the night Jacobson went
over to the Johnson house looking for
what money the old man had hidden
away, thinking the mar who did the
shooting would only get what was IN
the old mans pockets. Whether he got
anything or not is not known. About
S1,SO0 in bank certificates were found
in the house, but no one knows how
much money the old ran had. The
evidence also showed that Jacobson
was anxious that the guilt should be
fastened on young Larson.

Cihcinl Reasons f"r the Adoption of
American locomotives.
London, April 4. - A parlia mentary
paper issued yesterday contains cor
responaence on the comparative merits
of British, American and Belgian loco
motives in Egypt. Lord Cromer, the
British diplomatic agent, in letter to
the marquis of Lansdowne. foreign
minister states that it cannot be
doubted that the main reason why so
many orders for railway and other
plants required in Egypt have recently
been given to American firms has been
because they have been able to execute
them with extraordinary rapdity. The
superiority Of the American locomotive,
Lord Cromer declares, is unquestion-
ably tu" to the adoption in that coun-
Try of the standardizing system.
