PASSED BY THE SENATE
Only Five Republicans Voted Against
the Bill, Which Establishes Thlr-
teen New Contract Mail Lines.

Washington. - The senate on
Wednesday cast its first ballot on the
subsidy shipping bill, which was
passed by vote of SO to n. All the
votes for the bill were by Republican
senators and five Republican senators
voted with the Democrats in .opposl'
ton. They were Messrs. Burkett, Dol
liver, La Toilette, Spooner and War;
ner. The vote on the bill was pre-.
coded by action on a number OF
amendments, and this by an entire
day of debate. Many important
amendments were accepted, but only
in one case was a modification agreed
to that was not in accordance with
the wishes of the managers OF the Dill.
The exception was on an amendment
offered by Mr.. Spooner eliminating the
provision giving half pay to members
of the naval reserve who have served
less than six months.
AS passed, the bill establishes thir.
teen new contract mail lines and I'M
creases the subsidy to the Oceanic line
running from the Pacific coast to Aus.
tralasia Of the thirteen new lines
three leave Atlantic coast ports, one
running to Brazil, one to Uruguay and
Argentina, and one to South Africa;
six from ports on the Gulf OF Mexico,
embracing one to Brazil, one to Cuba,
one to Mexico and three to Central
America and the Isthmus of Panama;
four frorn Pacific coast ports, embrace
ing two to Japan, China and the Phil.
ippines direct; one to Japan, China
and the Philippines via Hawaii, and
one to Mexico, Central America and
the Isthmus, of Panama.
The bill also grants a subsidy at the
rate of S. per gross ton per year to
cargo vessels engaged in the foreign
trade of the United States and at the
rate of $3.50 per ton to vessels en-
gagged in the Philippine trade, the Phil
ippine coastwise law being postponed
until 1909. Another feature of the bill
is that creating naval reserve force
of 10000 officers and men who are to
receive retainers after the British
practice. Vessels receiving subsidies
are required to carry a certain proper
ton of naval reserve men among their
crews. The aggregate compensation
for mail lines is about $5,O00,O00 an
nually. No steam vessel of less than
1000 tons is to receive aid under the
bill.

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.
Denver Man Murdered in Dining
Room of His Hotel.

Denver.-Maurice l.. Caplin, pro-
prietor of the Denver Auction COM
pany, who resides in the heart OF the
Capitol Hill residence district, was
murdered in the dining room of his
home Friday night by a masked man,
who entered for the purpose of rob-
berry. Caplin was engaged in game
of cards with his wife, daughter and
friend. The hold-up walked in unan-
nounced and, levelling two revolvers
at Caplin, demanded his money. When
Caplin emptied his pockets and his
wife had turned over all the money
she had, the robber ordered Caplin to
give him the money he had received
from the days business. Caplln
reached under the table, evidently for
a stool to throw at the man, when the
latter fired, the bullet striking Cap
lin in the heart killing him instantly.
The robber then backed out OF the
house and escaped.

JURY FAILS TO CONVICT
ALLEGED K|DNAPER GROVE
No Evidence to Connect Pat Grove
With the Abduction of Eddie Cud.
ahy, Son of the Beef Packer.

Omaha.-The jury in the trial OF
Pat Grove, charged with the robbery
of Edward A. Cudahy, the Omaha
packer, or $4,000 in connection with
the kidnapping of the latter's son five
years ago, Friday afternoon, after tif-
teen hours deliberation, brought in a
verdict of not guilty.
The kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy, De-
ce.nber 10, 1900, and his release upon
TIE payment by his father OF $4,000
ransom, created great sensation,
and the search for the kidnapers was
stimulated at the time by the offer OF
a reward of $4,000 by Mr.. Cudahy.
1t was the belief of the authorities
that Grove and James Callahan We're
the guilty parties, but no trace OF
them could be found until about a year
ago, when Callahan was arrested. He
was identified by young Cudahy as one
of his captors, but was released ON
trial as it could not be shown that he
received any of the money and there
was at that time no law making the
kidnapping of person over 10 years OF
age a crime. Last October Grove
was arrested in Butte, Mont, and was
put on trial February Z. There was
no evidence to positively identify
Grove as enc of the ~dnapers.
Grove was recently indicted in
Council Bluffs, with others, on
charge of holding up street car.

Paris.-M Taigny, the former
French charge d'affaires at Caracas,
in an interview with the Mathis CORE
spondent at Liverpool, said that the
unanimity Of the diplomats in Vene-
zuela against his expulsion was
great surprise to President Castro,
who until the last moment had relied
on the moral support of a certain
power.
M. Taigny, according to the CORE
spondent, is convinced that a revolu-
tionary movement for the overthrow
of President Castro is in preparation.
He had been approached by several OF
the revolutionary leaders during his
sojourn in Venezuela, but owing to
his position as the representative OF
France, he was obliged to hold aloof
from politics.
In M. Taigny's opinion, the CORE.
