B-COMMITTEE MET
CONGRESSMAN GROsVENOR SPEAKS
 ON SHIP SUBSIDY.
Question Argued Thoroughly at Meet ing in DetrOit--SIembers Having Good Glme-WilI Meet fin
 Cleveland To-day.

Detroit June 27.-A subcommittee of the Congressional Merchant Marine, held a meeting here to-day. After the welcoming addresses. Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio spoke to the mem bers of the Board of Commerce
 Subsidy Is a frightful word" said Congressman Grosvenor. and yet you haven't 25 cents worth of property in Detroit that would have been valuable without gifts of money from the Fed eral government. The openings of your lines of communications was due to subsidies. You were handicapped by ob- structions to navigation. You had low water in the harbors and you had very small ships. You are living on subsi- dies. You have built, in my opinion, the prettiest city in the world on sub sides The legislation that prohibits foreign tonnage from participating in our coastwise trade is the strongest kind of protection in the world.
 "The question now is that the great system which has built up your island trade may not demonstrate some plan and system by which Congress can &C., complish equally good results on the high seas"
 When the commission reconvened after luncheon, Attorney Fred A. Ba- ker of Detroit, read a paper in which he declared that the people of Michi- gan are strongly opposed to the grant ing of any government bounty or sub sidy to any private enterprise. While 1t looks plausible to start onr merchant marine with a subsidy" said Mir Baker. you establish thereby a precedent, the consequence of which we cannot measure We, in Michigan make no subsidy, but accomplish in some other way the results that we ! seek"
 Congressman Grosvenor endeavored to have MT. Baker express an opinion on the appropriation of public moneys for irrigation works In the West, but MT. Baker said he had not investigated | that subject.
 | George Burns, ex-president of thu trades and labor council of Detroit said he approved of subsidiztng the American merchant marine. provided American wage earners would be ben eftted. Mir. Burns objected to the present law that requires ships thai receive grants for carrying United States mails to have only fifty per cent of their crews American citizens. ! Senator Gallinger suggested that Japanese companies susidized for $2O0,0O0 or $300,0OO a year, carried cheap Chinese coolie labor on their ships Senator Gallinger asked how this com petition could be made. MT. Burns re- piled that it would be better to keeT out than enter this competition to the detriment of American wage earners and in a way that would tend toward reducing American labor to the level of the coolie labor of the Orient
 | Senator GaIllnger stated that in the past two years there had not been one single keel laid in the United States oI Ia foreign going ship.

WILL MILES
 MAKE RACE? PrOhibitiOniStS Up A
 Tree. GENERAL IS QUIESCENT Some Doubt Expressed as to
 His Politics. Anti-Liquor People Do Not Know That Ex-Commander-in-Ch of
 Army is a Party

Indianapolis, June 27.-National Chairman Stewart, and National Secre- tary Tate. of Tennessee, are in charge ot National Prohibition headquarters at the ClaypooL Tomorrow's convention is the tenth gathering of the party.
 The chief topic of the delegates is whether. General Miles will be nomi- mated. Indications now are that half "a dozen names will be before the con vention Thursday
 Alonzo E. Wilson, of Chicago, Editor of the Prohibition Handbook, and Illi- ncis State Chairman: Charles R. Jones, Chairman of Pennsylvania. and John G. Wooley. the candidate four years ago. are prominent in the management of the Miles boom. MT. Wilson has shipped to Indianapolis a great lot of Miles Autographs ad a barrel or two O. Miles campaign buttons.
 Samuel P. Jones of Georgia, general ly known as sam Jones' the evangel- ist: James A. Tate of Tennessee. Geo. |. W Carroll of Texas. and Felix T. Mo- Whirter of Indianapolis, are among those mentioned.
 Indiana prohibitionists tonight held a meeting which served as an introduce tion to the convention. It was attend ed by upward of one hundred visitors, who have arrived for the convention, beside a large crowd of citizens.
 National Chairman Stewart and oth- CT leaders of the party held a prelim- mary meeting this afternoon. MT. Met calf said that when a party of ten pro- hibitionists, of which he was one, call ed on General Miles In April the Gen. eral was svasive and wished the con- vention postponed until after the Dem ocratic Convention.
 This. it is said has been his policy since that time. Mir. Metcaif said that in his opinion the New England States would demand a man who could make q -ositive statement of his position and unless General Miles could make one tltey would vote against him.
 National Chairman stewart said to- day: General Miles Is a very able man: he has been a consistent friend of the anti-liquor movement and in q broad sense a prohibitionist. but even those who are pressing forward his name for the nomination by our party do not even say how he stands on the methods of the prohibition party There are probably two million voters in the United States who believe in prohibition but the most votes we have ever boiled on a National ticket is a little less than three hundred thousand w C uOl OHly want A thhi "iPV ONAAo'Ne in prohibition. but we want man who believes In the policy and tho methods of the political party.
 Neither Mir. Miles nor his friends have said that he is a prohibitionist in that sense and there are many pro- hibitionists who believe it wise tc nominate a man who has been pro hibitionist in the party sense of tht word in the past"
 Though 1t Is said that General Mile' has signified that he will accept thu nomination if 1t be given him, wher the letters are produced they show tha' this is only an inference, and that tho General up to this time nas not com mitted himself.

 "There is reason to suppose that considerable force of the enemy pro ceeded from the Want Wangtsi station in inc direction of the mountains. marching northward toward the Cha pan Pass.
 "our patrols on June 25 noticed that the Japanese were beginning to move along the northern Siu Yen Kai Chou road from Toutaukau and Pantsiapei in the direction of the Wei Ia Pass. The enemy on June 25 undertook to advance from Seluchan toward the Liaoyang main road ana also along the road leading to the Mao Tten Pass through Tangputze and Tafangku, eIavAp miles northwest of Seluchan
 .s1,ba enemy on the main road was s+onned first by two companies Of sharpshooters constituting our van hosts which slowly retired northwaru'
 "Reinforced by two companies the enemy at 2:30 in the afternoon occu pied Tuinpu The sharpshooters retlreu north toward Phak Hessan' our iosse' were Lieutenant Ogleff and five sharp- sbooters wounded. On June 25 about battalion of Japanese infantry march- ing out from Tungoputse, i've mics northwest of Eluchin along the road to the Maotien pass was repuIsed Dy two companies of our sharpshooteIs outposts near Tafangku.
 '',rhe sharpshooters fell back, nrst upon Urtugti and then upon hehslaP- tze. Captain Kanehukovsky in com mand of one company of the sharp shooters was wounded.

Stokhodza in the direction of Vandzi- apudza. The enemy's infantry and mountain guards followed the van guard at midday.
 .The enemy also resumed the ad- vance on the morning of June 26 from Tuin Pu in the direction of Ikhakhe- hun along the main road by the road to the Mao Tien defile, through Urlun- di and the mountainous road to Nadia pudze pass, turning our right. The en- emy located in the Mao Tien pass.
 At least a regiment of infantry with artillery was ordered to proceed along the main road to Liaoyang. This detachment reached Tiadavaiza at 9 a. m.
 We have received no other report regarding this movement
 The following are the details of re- connoissance of the Japanese forces made by Russian detachment on June 22 at Aiyaramyne (Ai Yang Tien Men): At l0:30 p. m. the cavalry of our advance guard drove the enemy from the trenches of their advanced posi- tions. At 1920 p. m. four Russian guns of the mountain horse artillery had been placed in position against the enemys right flank which they bombarded with great success. the cor don retiring. The serried ranks of the Japanese troops developed a violent fu- silade which. however, was almost without result.
 At this moment our infantry came up and four companies were thrown against the right flank of the enemys position, one company being held in re- serve to protect our right flank against which two Japanese companies were advancing.
 The enemy fell back under the en- ergetic pressure of our forces for a distance of two or three miles, evacut ing the trenches at p. m.
 "At the moment that our Cossack battery approached the enemy's prin- cipal position 1t was exposed to the concentrated fire of eighteen mountain guns and within a few minutes eight Cossacks were killed and twenty were wounded. The gunners at that time had the shelter of the nearest stone building but our two companies con tinued to repulse the enemy until the main position of the enemy was reach ed when three regiments of the Japa- nese infantry were discovered. Hav- ing ascertained the strength of the enemy the commander of our detach- ment determined to stop the advance and order the mountain battery not to change its position in order not to ex- pose it to unnecessary losses.
 The enemy's right flank took the offensive at D. m. Our two com panies of sharpshooters and a company of cavalry commanded by second Cap tain Cederberg having dismounted. put the Japanese battalion to full retreat by we'll sustained point-blank volleys which inflicted considerable losses.

BRYAN's PROGRAM.
He VIII Try to Dictate to Credentials
 Committee

He VIII Try to Dictate to Credentials
 Committee.
 Chicago, June 27.-(Special. )-Wfl- Ham J. Bryan proposes to make big fight in the St. Louis Convention to un- seat over 100 delegates who now hold regular credentials.
 There are two versions of the Bryan program. According to his friends he will not be at St. Louis as a candidate nor as the champion of any one can didate.
 While in Chicago MT. Bryan made his position plain. Briefly stated, 1t Is that he considers all other questions secondary to the issue as to whether or not the majority shall rule in the party. Tickets and platforms are mat ters subservient to this one great issue. There will be contests from Illinois. Ohio, Indiana, Massachusetts and New Jersey. In all of these States he says Re organizers" stified the will of the majority and elected delegates to St.. Louis who do not represent the masses of the rarty.
 This means that Mir. Bryan will be champion of the Hearst contestants.
 The other version is that Bryan wish es to play his old role of the tribune of the people and appear before the Convention as an eloquent champion of the voters rights. which. he will say have been trampled upon by unscrupu- Ious politicians like John P. Hopkins.
 It is Bryan's plan to be appointed the Nebraska member of the Committee on Credentials and to go before that body and fight for the Illinois, New Jersey, Indiana. Ohio and Massachusetts dele gates who claim to have been unseated unfairly If the Committee decides against him. Bryan will make minor ity report and then have his opportun- itv to make a speech on political rights" which is intended to be as dra- matIc as his famous Chicago Gross of Gold" effort.
