INTERESTS OF

WASHINGTON
Ship Subsidies Sc. The Postoffice ... Rivers and

ries Committee -- Carriers Report Cabinet
Changes.

mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov I'll
The session here this week of the Com
mission of Congress that has been con-
Quoting an inquiry about ship subsidies
will probably be followed by interest
ing recommendations to Congress. These
recommendations as learned from in
side sources, are not calculated to please
owners of shipping on the Pacific. The
inside word here is that the Commission
contemplates recommending a subsidy in
the shape of liberal compensation for
carrying mails and also tariff rebate
on goods brought into this country in
American built bottoms.
The details will develop later, but the
outline of the plan is of chief interest.
No members of the Commission are
yet in town, so as to permit of verih-
cation of this report, but there is reason
for believing the report correct in all
essentials. .uch recommendation
might possibly be followed by
immediate legislation, especially if the
recommendations are of character to
commend themselves to the Republican
members of the House from the middle
West. Those Republicans have been so
hostile to the old subsidy plans, in
corporated in the bills passed by the
F, Senate, that supporters of the measure
have realized the futility of pressing
it before the House. Such recon-
mendaton. too, would remove certain
Democratic opposition. There have been
Democratic Senators to advocate the
tariff rebate plan.
The several lines of steamers on the
Pacific have joined forces for several
years with the steamship lines on the
| Atlantic for the enactment of the OLD
Hanna Payne bill. The recommendations
of the commission will make the enact
ment of such legislation more of al
impossibiity. However, with such al
enormous majority in the House as the
Republicans will have after March 4
the chances of radical subsidy legislation
J might be better than heretofore.
THE POSTOFFICE.
Mr.. William Haywood, who has beer
watching the rivalry for the postoffice
appointment, said today that the en-.
dorsement of Gov. Carter would TN
doubtedly decide it. Whenever an i'm.
portant Hawaiian appointment comes
| to him for decision, the President al
most invariably wants to know wha
Gov. Carter thinks about it or wha
Carter has recommended. In nearly
every case Carriers recommendation de.
cides.

Committee, which is scheduled to meet
here tomorrow and frame a bill for
presentation to Congress next month
As Chairman Burton had not arrived
in town at a late hour this afternoon,
it is not yet known what arrangements
will be made for hearing various repre-
sentatives who are to urge appropria-
tons by the committee. 1t is interesting
that Philadelphia, now deeply agitated
over an improvement of the channel in
the Delaware river to the sea, wants
Congress to make an appropriation with
out preliminary survey Several dele
cations have been over here before the
War Department and others will come
before the Committee as soon as it is
organized for hearings
SECRETARY ATKINSON.
AS far as can be learned Secretary
Atkinson, of Hawaii. has not yet reach
ed Washington He was heralded from
San Francisco in dispatches stating his
errand and the mail from the steamer
on which he came to California, reached
here night before last. 1t is supposed
that Mr. Atkinson stopped for few
days en- route and that he will probably
be here before the next mail leaves.
NEW TERRITORIES COMMITTEE.
AS result of the recent election there
will be Territories committee of many
new members in the next House OF
Representatives. AS this is the COM
mittee that handles most of the Ha-
waiian legislation that reaches the House
the changes are of more or less interest
in the islands, Fortunately, most oil
the strong members of the committee
remain and doubtless will be reappoint-
ed by Speaker Cannon when the COM
mittees are made up a year from now.

the session this winter, the committee
remaining as constituted year ago. Ex-

OIL FOR THE BODY

You can't lose an atom
without feeling it. The body
is like an engine, a watch,
a machine; must be kept in
good order to run right.
That's the reason SCOTS
Emulsion is so successful in
all wasting diseases. 1t feeds,
nourishes and strengthens
when ordinary food won't.
Doctors say SCOTS Emul-
sion is the best nourishment
for those who are not as well
as they should be.
We use the whole oil in
SCOTS Emulsion because the
great reputation of cod liver
oil as a food and medicine
was made by using it in this
way. Substitutes in the shape
of wines, cordials, extracts,
etc., should be carefully
avoided.

The discussion was the outcome OF a

arguments which followed We're lively.
