SUBSIDY In PACIFIC.
MAIL BILL Explained.
HeSSrS. Hill and Hartman Not for
Measure, Dir. Humphrey Says.
from The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington Feb. PIN answer to the argu-
ments that Messrs. Hill and Hartman were be-
hind the Littauer NAH Subsidy li.I now being
considered by the House Reproscn- alive Hum
phrey. Of Washington. made an Impressive
speech to-day explaining the provisiea for a
subsidized line north Of Cape MendocIn0 and for
another south Of that cape. Mr.. Humphrey said
that as member of the Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries he had been able have
this provision put into the BILL and that he was
perfectly willing 10 take all the responsibility
for il.
It has been said that Messrs Hill sndsHarri-
man wanted the two lines to the Orient and
that this theory was borne out by the fact that
one line is 10 run from Puget Sound and the
other from San Francisco.
Mr.. Humphrey declared that if both lines
started from Puget Sound Mr.. Hill would con-
troll them and tho land and water rates would
be at his mercy. If both started from San Fran
cisco the monopoly would he enjoyed by Mr.
Hartman The opposition seized the oppor-
tunity 10 ask why the Postmaster General had
not been clothed with the discretion to select the
starting point OF the lines. To this Mr. Hum
phrey replied that the Postoffice Department
was prone to give the contract 10 the line max
ing the quickest trip, regardless of commercial
consideration, and. anyway If it was right that
one should start from one point and the other
from a different seaport Congress should leave no
uncertainty about il.
While Mr.. Humphreys arguments were con-
vincing, the Oriental lines are responsible for
nearly every 6esertion the Republican party
leaders have suffered during the fight There
viii be a bitter fight TO strike out the Oriental
lines. The subsidy leaders are considering the
advisability of offering resistance TO an
amendment Representative Bartholdt. of Mis-
souri. VIII introduce on the floor extending the
proposed line from the Cuff of Mexico TO
Panama 10 include ports in South America It
is believed this VIII make the bill stronger with
the Middle West.
Mr.. Humphrey said that the measure was an
extension Of the system Of protection.
Il want to say right here" he continued that
lines. The hand of Mr.. Hartman is here in this
house now. and it is over here on the Demo
cratic side trying to defeat these lines because
NJ. Hartman wants them defeated. The reason
is plain-it is because Mr.. Hartman has said
that he would not take advantage of this sub
run on regular schedules and he will have to so
70 the Philippines"
He said he would not vote TO report any bill
that would not provide for carrying the flag 10
the Philippines. He charged the Democratic
party with trying to keep this country from
holding communication with the Philippines in
order" he said, ''to bring disgrace upon our
inveigle Us into q war with japan TO make US
SO weak that Japan viii attack Us and then they
hope 10 ride into power over their countrys dis

From The Tribune pureau.1


Washington Feb. 27.-Although the friends of
the Aldrich Financial bill. which passed the Sen
ate yesterday, were unable TO get consideration
Of that measure in the House to-day they re-
ceived assurances which led them 10 believe that
when il does come up II will have easy sailing.
Representative Fowler chairman OF the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency. desired 70
bring up the bin as soon as the action Of the
Senate in passing the bill was reported 20 the
House. On account Of the strict procedure under
the rule governing the consideration Of the Sub
sidy bill this was impossible.
Mr. Fowler Is certain that he Will be permitted
10 call up the bin not later than Saturday. He
NAV get an opportunity Tomorrow. He is con-
fdent that the bin viii not be sent to confer
euce. bur that the House Will recede and accept
the Senate amendment in the shape the Aldrich
bill returned 10 the House.
The failure Of the House TO consider the bill
to-day is not considered by its friends as indi
eating in the least that there IS opposition TO IL
among the House managers. The pressure for
consideration Of subsidy Is SO great that all
measures must give way TO e. The friends Of
the measure were contented TO see II 60 over
until the last Of the week.

Who viii Help Hima

Mr.. Editor--Tho good book tells
na that CHE that giveth to the poor
Icndeth to the Lord" Please allow
me space to say q few words in be-
half Of a friend whose wife has been
siok off aud OH for near four years,
and he works hard to provide a liv-
ing for his family. This year the
doctor performed an operation on
his wife and that pulled him for
$26, and now I learn that another
operation is necessary. To do so
it will take more money, and it will
not make any of us poorer to help
him raise it. If your wife was in
her condition you would spend
your last cent. Any amount will
be appreciated from n dime up.
1t will be no trouble to find him.
The man I speak of is Holm Orig
gers, who lives with Jim Pope in
in the fiat woods. If you wish to
help him, send or bring it, or leave
it at the DEMOCRAT office SO he
can get it.
