Probably Shakespeare did his own

little, and conformed strictly to the ex-

toward Presbyterianism and there is

not seem to have been fond of preach

Polonius, whom he calls "a prating old

to church with his wife he went no
farther than the porch, but strolled
along the Avon. where he was found

A BATTLE ROYAL
The Ship Subsidy Bill Passed the
House by Close Vote
of 155 to 140.
TO SOUTH AMERICA ONLY
Forty-one "lnsureent" Republicans
Voted With the Democrats
Against the Measure on Its
Final Passage.

Washington, March 2.-It has been
years since the house was the scene
of so royal battle between the two
great parties as it witnessed there
Friday over the ship subsidy bill.
The bill was passed but not until
after it had been once defeated and
this fact in itself shows how close the
alignment was. When the first vote
disclosed majority against the
measure. the democrats and their re-
publican allies made the house ring
with their cheers. There were sew
eral roll calls before the final IA
vorable result was secured.
The vote on the Lit.auer substi-
tute was defeated on the first vote.
ayes 154, nays 16l.
The democrats could not retain
their lead, however, for on vote
to lay on the table motion to recon
slider, the opponents of the ship sub
sidy were defeated 15G to 159, and
vote to reconsider the first vote was
adopted, 164 to 154.
assertions began and on the final vote
to pass the bill as amended the work
done by the republican leaders dur
ing the hearing of the battle was
made manifest. The bill was passed
155 to 149.
The following western republicans
voted with the democrats in opposi-
ton: Campbell, (kan.); Fulkerson,
(Mo.) Hinshaw, (Neb); Kinkaid,
(Neb); Mccarthy (NebD; Miller,
(Kan.) Murdoch (Kan)
Fifty-two republicans voted with
the democrats on the first roll call. On
the vote of Mr. Williams to lay the
motion to reconsider on the table, 90
republicans voted with the democrats.
On the vote to adopt the substitute
there were 40 republicans insurgents
and on its final passage there were
Al.
Only four steamship lines are to be
subsidized under the measure in the
form finally agreed upon. and all OF
these are to sail for South American
ports. One of the lines will be from
the Atlantic coast to Brazil; second
from the Atlantic coast to Argentine;
the third between the Gulf OF Mex
leo and Brazil The fourth line Will
be from the Pacific coast TO Panama,
Peru and Chile.
The annual subsidy for each of
these lines is to be 100000 for
monthly mail service or 100000 for
q fortnishtly service, excepting the
Argentine line, which is to have $780,
900 for monthly service or 100000
for fortnightly service. No Amer
lean cities are named as ports from
which any of the lines are to start
and the bill is so worded that the line
in the Pacific to South America can
touch at any number of ports in the
United States.
The same is true of the Atlantic
lines. The bill provides that vessels
profiting by the subsidy must have
a speed of not less than lG knots. 1t
has been repeatedly stated on the
floor of the house that no ships now
engaged in the South American trade
can make any such speed.
