PRAISES THE COMPANY.
Congressman Livernash Compliments
Oceanic Steamship Company,

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 25.-
During the discussion of the provision
in the postoffice bill making an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for carrying the
mails from San Francisco to Tahiti
Congressman Livernash delivered a
speech complimenting the Oceanic
Steamship Company. He declared that
the company is most liberal in the en-
ployment of white laborers as against
Chinese and should not be embar-
rassed in an attempt to enlarge it's
usefulness. He declared that the
amendment offered by Robinson of
Indiana striking the appropriation
from the measure was a blow directed
at the white sailors of the Pacific
Coast.

Is Nearly AsphYxiated.

But for the quick work of Bush Fin
nell, his cook, Mary Wagner. would
have been asphyxiated AS it was she
came near losing her life and she now
lies in a precarious condition. 1t was
2 o'clock yesterday morning when Mr..
and Mrs. Finnell were awakened by
groans, and, bursting open the cook s
door, found the room full of gas and
the cook unconscious. Several hours of
hard work brought her back to life
1t was purely case of accident.

MINORITY FILES REPORT.

Oppose the Shipping Subsidy Bill.

congressman Lucking ana Associates
Oppose the Shipping Subsidy Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The re-
port of the minority of the House COM
mittee on Merchant Marine and Fish
cries. prepared by Representative
Lucking of Michigan and signed by
Representatives Spight, Goulden, Nc
Dermott and Lucking, declares the bill
TO be step in the policy of Subsidiz-
ing our merchant marine. The report
says that outside of the goods trans
ported in vessels owned by the Govern
ment there was paid in freights for
such carrying in the year 1901, s4,52S.-
1884, and that this carrying is done
principally to the Philippines and, like
the major portion of all our war and
naval expenditures of the present day,
has been rendered necessary by the
ill-advised subjugation and retention of
those islands"
The report says the bill is a most
barefaced misappropriation of public
moneys, and adds:
"Of the seventeen vessels now en-
gagged in this traffic on the Pacific all
are manned exclusively Except Off
cers) by Chinese sailors, who work for
about one-third or one-fourth the
wages that American sailors receive,
SO that the American sailors have been
completely supplanted by these Chin
ese in the very Pacific Ocean compan-
les who are pressing the bill and who
are, in part, to get it's gratuities.''

YAMAMOTO
COMMENDS
THE NAVY
Japanese Legislators
Thank Triumphant
Z Togo.
Minister of Marine Pre-
diets an Ultimate
Victory.

TOXIC, March 25.-The House OF
Representatives to-day listened to a
significant speech by NJ. Yamamoto, the
Minister Of Marine. and passed with
enthusiasm and without a dissenting
voice q vote Of thanks to Vice Admiral
Togo and his officers for their services
to the country. When the vote was
taken the members of the House arose
and cheered the navy.
In the course of his remarks the Min
lister Of Marine said 1t was no new
thing to be prepared for emergencies
in time of peace, but that since last
October the japanese navy had been
under the necessity of increasing it's
strength and had been constantly ready
for action on account of the actions of
Russia. This the Minister regretted.
Continuing, be said il had been mani
fest TO every observer that Russia had
constantly increased her strength in
the Far East. and that if japan had
not purchased the cruisers Nisshin and
Kasuga from Argentina her naval
strength would have been below that
Of Russia.
SHIPS OF RUSSIANS.
Referring to the result of the work
of Vice Admiral Togo and his fleet. NJ.
Yamamoto told the House of Repre-
sentatives that to blockade a port sue
cessfully the blockaders should be at
least twice as strong as the defenders
of the port. He said the latest reports
showed that the Russians had four
battleships, five cruisers and ten tor
pedo- boat destroyers afioat at this
time, from which it must be concluded
that the work of repairing at Port Ar
thur was being carried forward eff
GENTLY. The latest attack on Port Ar
thur. had enabled the Japanese to OBJ
serve the actual strength of the enemy
there.
Continuing, the Minister of Marine
said that while he hoped for a speedy
termination of the war, he must warn
the members of the House not to be
oversanguine. The united efforts of
Japan's soldiers and of civilians of high
and low degree, he concluded. would
surely carry the war to a glorious and
successful termination.
ALLEGED TREASON INQUIRY.
The committee of the House which
is investigating the charge against
Tiesuke Akiyama, member of Par
lament. Of being in the pay of the
Russians did not conclude it's work to-
day, but will probably make it's re-
port tomorrow. The proceedings have
been in secret, but it is understood that
the testimony taken shows that Aki-
yama had met General Kuropatkin and
members of the Russian legation at
various times, and an effort was made
to show that he had suddenly become
possessed of large sums of money.
Akiyama's supporters claim that his
meetings with the Russians were in
the ordinary course and entirely lacked
significance They also deny that he
received any Russian money. The To-
kio Mainichi, which published a de-
famatory article defending Akiyama s
paper, is now being prosecuted.

The report concludes that, 'in some
respects this bill is worse than any
pronounced subsidy measure which has
been advocated in Congress, because 1t

corporations and individuals who may
and probably will form a combine and
hold up the Government for all it will

When the Cananeas failed to pay the inter est on the bonds they would be forfeit ed and the good name of the Greene Consolidated would be gone, then Gatea and his crowd would step in and Ees control fer a song and Greene Wouie be cut.
 Greene gathered his forces toge'hsF and went into the fight to win: he cars ried everything before him. and. as NJ. Bernard said. put the kibosh co Gates and his friends.
