COOPER'S NAME WIT DRAWN.
President Recalls HIS Nomination
as United States Marshal.

ns United States Marshal
President Roosevelt has withdrawn
from the Senate his nomination OF Henry
". Cooper for United States marshal for
the Eastern district Of Arkansas
The nomination has caused some int.--
est. because Mr.. Cooper belongs to the
Powell Clayton faction Of the Arkansas
Republicans. which has claimed 20 be in
control Of the situation in the state. Mr..
Cooper has been the marshal, and his
nomination was only for reappointment.
The withdrawal of his name Is taken
20 Indicate that the faction has been
beaten, at least as far as Federal pa
trOnage is concerned.
The charge against Mr.. Cooper is that
he AID other State Grhcers have pooled
their salaries in the pas; and divided them
up In more even manner than is pro-
yided FOR By law.

Premier has made concerning his recent

with his denials to the effect that his
mission was officially in behalf Of the

that he went TO England in behalf Of thu
Afrikanders.
The Dutch note to England followed
closely after DIT. Kuyper's trip. and was

MORGANIzE THE SEA
Ship Subsidy Bill Would Practical
ly Do This.
NO SHOW FOR 1T IN CONGRESS
Assurance OF the Failure of the
Measure Is Repeated With
Emphasis.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, April ga special from Wash
1ngton to the Tribune says: "According
to the ordinary doctrine of chances, the
odds are to l against the ship subsidy
Dill becoming a law and fully 10 to /
against Its passage by the house at this
session."
This sweeping statement was made by
Cne OF the best known leaders of the
house, whose word carries weight where
1t Is heard. He declined to go on record
publicly because he said he was not op-
posed to the ship subsidy idea as a whole,
but only to the developments exhibited in
the senate bill. He said:
In my opinion the subsidy bill cannot get
through the committee II. however. it
should be reported favorably, contrary to all
present indicat ions, /. could not get through
the house at this session. 1t Is not going too
far to say that if this subsidy measure be re-
ported 1t will run against a series Of appro-
prlation bills. conference reports and similar
privileged matter. which will generally be
ready for consideration. From now on the
house will be too busy to pass subsidy bills,
1t Is not good politics to take up such a
measure at this time 1t is not even good
craftsmanship.
}, +. Morgan is buying up all the steamship
lines, or at least merging the different COM
panies into one general pool. It would not be
wise to take money out of the treasury to pay
over to a consolidated steamship trust. We
don't believe in Morgani2ing the ocean, and
with a congressional election facing us the
members OF the house could not assume the
risk OF passing a bill requiring the govern
ment of the United States to subsidize steam
ship companies. A similar proposition to
