As Lawson had predicted that it would

of the pool aggregated SO, 400, 600, but
that be was still in the ring, and still
believed he was right.
This morning in lengthy advertise
nent Lawson issued another defiance
to what he terms the "system," an
nouncemeut that he has added 50, 0OO,-
600 to the first pool making Sll, $780,

SHIP SUBSIDY legislation, it is hoped,
Is impossible in this session of Congress,
because Speaker Cannon has declared
aeainst it and has so fixed up the COM
mittee on merchant marine and hsker-
les that a majority of that committee
will withhold from the House any such
measure that may be referred to it,.
Even If the Senate passes the bill pre-
serted by the joint committee, it Ia de-
clared the House committee will pigeon
holeit. Mr. GrOsvenor was reappOint-
ed chairman of the House committee,
and as he is also member of the Joint
committee and aided in framing the
commission bill, be WAS confident that
favorable action would be obtained. He
has discovered that the Speaker has
packed the committee against him. Not
having the power of Chairman Burton,
of the Rivers and Harbors Committee,
to override his committee, Mr.. Grosve-
nor feels discouraged. Mr.. Csnnon's
reason for taking a stand against the
subsidy bill is fear that its operation
would open the tariff question and lead
10 rupture in republican strength. Ad-
vocates of the shipping bill assert that il
shipbuilding materials were furnished
The shipbuilders of this country by the
steel trust as cheaply as they are furnish
ed shipbuiders abroad, there might be
no necessity for legislative aid to the
shipping interests and in this they are
entirely right.

Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte this

whether or not, under the law, the
Superintendent of the Naval Academy
and the Secretary of the Navy have the
power summariy to dismiss from the

The criticism of the Panama canal adj
ministration was continued in the Senate
today when consideration of the canal
urgent deficiency bill was resumed.
Mr.. Tillmau hurled an elaborate vO-
cabulary of sarcasm and investive toward
the President, the Secretary of War,
President Shonts aud Press Agent
Bishop. There were few members upon
the floor when he began his grilling of
canal officials, but before he had proceed
ed far, he mad large audience on the
floor and in the galleries
"The President is brilliant, abe, and
hard worker" he declared, slowly,
and distinctly: eyes I'll go further
than that and say that | believe he is
patriotic and that as a rule has nothing
but the best interests of the country at
heart"
Il am very liberal" be continued.
"There are two or three little acts OF
mis-, however, that prove be is, when his
heart is set, absolutely oblivious to law,
Indifferent to the constitution and in his
own sweet way is trampling under foot
ruthlessly the constitution OF the cOun-
try or else he does things without know
ing"
One was the alleged creation of the
republic of Panama. The other he said,
was the carrying out by subterfuge of
treaty with Santo Domingo without
having the treaty ratified by the Senate.
He characterized the President as "the
coming policeman of the western hemis-
phere," and the "debt collector and i'm
prisoner
"The Senate servilely submits" he
shouted, "while the House is engaged.
1t could not talk if it desired to, and |
don't think ii does"
Mr.. Spooner defended the Presidents
conduct and was soon invOly ed in a
running fire from Mr.. Tillman, Mr..
Teller and Mr.. Money.

The House today gave immediate
consideration to the question, pending
since Tuesday, az to which committee,
ways and means or interstate and for
eign commerce, has jurisdiction of the
insurance recommendations contained

The discussion was interrupted to re-
ceive a messenger from the Senate who
announced that bill had been passed
by the upper body providing that the
Panama bonds shall be placed upon the
same footing as the other two per cent
bonds of the government.

ing the Senate had violated the constiiu-
