The Ship Subsidy Bill.

President Roosevelt will send a spe.
cial message to congress, urging the
passage of the ship subsidy bill, which
was reported to the House by the
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries by vote of s to z. The
friends of the measure have appealed
to the president and he has promised
to help them.
In fact, when some of the advocate.
of the subsidy bill almost despaired Of
getting favorable report from the
committee, the president was brought
to use his influence in their behalf by
sending special message to Congress-
on the subject. He declined to do so
until some further effort had
had been made looking to marmoni-
Gus action among the Republicans, but
now that the committee has acted fal
vorably on the subsidy bill, Mr.
Roosevelt deems it timely to send ID
strong message calling attention to-
the need of this legislation.

There Was No Delay in Getting Full
House-Senators And Congressman

Washington.-By a vote Of 1873 70
95 the house voted that the salaries Of
senator's, representatives, and the det
egates from Hawaii and Alaska be in
creased to $500 year after March
4, 1907, and fixing the salaries of the
vice president, speaker and members
Of the cabinet at $4,000.
Mr.. Littauer, of New York, precipi-

and members of the house to $12,500
each; increase the salaries of the SEN
ators, representatives in congress:
delegates from the territories and the
railroad commissioner from Porto
RIGA to $500 annually. Nearly ev-
cry member was present when Mr..
Littauer made his motion, both re.
publican and democratic whips hav-
ing sent out hurry calls for absent
members and almost instantly mem.
bers were on their feet in protest and
decided the program for increasing
salaries without roll call.
Mr.. Crumpacker, of Indiana, said
he was opposed to members of con.
gress voting to increase their own SAL
aries, and he would therefore, vote
against the amendment.
Mr.. Gillette, Of Massachusetts,, ere.
ated rounds of laughter when he an.
nounced that he was against increas. !
ing the salaries Of members from tht
time fixed, but he would be in favor
Of increasing them from March 4
1909.
''Too far back" was heard on all
sides amidst tumultous applause Mr.
Gillette saw the slip he had made
and after the house had settled dowr
to quiet corrected the mistake by say.
ing he was in favor Of increasing tht
salaries from March 4, 1907, con-
gress yet to be elected"
Mr.. Burleson, of Texas, stated hi
had voted for the amendment when il
first came before the house, but would
vote against it in its present form.
When the previous question wal
ordered there was a resounding cho
rus of yeas in favor of passing tn,
amendment, the nays being noticea
bic owing to their absence.
The amendment was declared car.
ned.
The only other action to be taker,
with reference to this amendment il
for the senate to confirm it. 1t will
not again come up in the house unless
the senate should amend it.
An hour or more after the houst
had adopted the bill it was returned
to the senate for action by that body
but the senate went into executive
session without taking it up and the
matter goes over until next week.
