Steamer Columbia Caught in Ice UP
the River.

PORTLAND, Jan. 17.-The Port
land and San Francisco Companys
steamer Columbia which left here last
night for San Francisco with fifty
passengers and eighteen hundred tons
Of general cargo, is stuck in the ice
at Warrior Point, a point in the Co
lumbia river two miles east Of st.
Helen's. Her passengers are ma
rooned on the vessel, communication
with the shore being impossible, and
1t may be several days before the
craft can be moved and the passen-
gers relieved from their uncomfortable
Imprisonment. The channel is narrow
at Warrior Point and ice from the
upper river has gorged until the chan
mel is filled with great hummocks of
ice. 1t is called to mind as a freak
of fortune, that the Columbia, which
kept the channel open from Portland
to the sea during the last freeze up
In 1888, should be the only steel craft
tied up during the present freeze.

Ship Subsidy Bill is Not Placed
in Hands Of Representatives.
FAvORS THE EXISTING TIMES
Fight in Merchant Marine and Fish
cries Committee Over Matter Was
Remarkable-Contrary to Gus
tom Bill Was Withheld.

CHICAGO, Jan. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
There was a distinct condition of
ferment in the House Of Representa-
tives yesterday because Of the fact
that the members at large were de-
prived wholly of information as to the
exact character of the ship subsidy
bill which was supposed to have been
reported from the committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries Tuesday
after an extraordinary fight which nee
essitated actual adjournment OF the
House TO permit the committee to act.
To cap the climax of the peculiar
tactics which have been adopted. the
bill as reported, was withheld from
the public printer so that it could not
be printed in time to be put in the
boxes Of the members yesterday, ac-
cording to the usual custom.
No member of the House had draft
of the measure and as ii had never
been formally considered in the COM
mittee and never debated, members of
the House are still in the dark.
All they know is that the bill pro-
vides for actual subsidy Of no less than

able under the existing law, which will
be divided among Hartman, Hill and
Spreckels, because they already have
lines running over the routes indica-
ted in the bill, and no other man could
afford to build single steamship TO
compete with them.
The subsidies for those three lines
are certain TO prove intensely uppopu-
lar in the House and the chances are /

not deny they are aware there are
