 he Much Opposed to It-Lines Pro-
 yided by the Littauer Bill.
 Washington, Jan. 15.-After a fight which lasted all day and extended to the floor of the house threatening to bring about much filibustering at one time, the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries finally decided at 6 o'clock p. m., by a vote of to 2, to make favorable report on a ship sub sidy bill prepared by Representative Littauer of New York, as substitute for the Grosvenor bill, which has been under consideration for many weeks.

 Seven subsidized mall lines are pro- vided for in the bill to be reported with an annual subvention estimated at $3, ,750 GOO. Two of the lines are to be from the Atlantic coast to South America and one from the Gulf of Mexico to Colon. From the Pacific coast there are to be three lines to the Orient. and one line to the west coast of South America. Only two changes were made by the committee in the bill as originally drawn by MT Littauer.
