for Probable Amendments.
STEAL WILL Be MADE LESS
Subsidies TO Steamship Lines From
San Francisco and Seattle Will
Probably Be Eliminated, But
Spreekels May Get Gifts.

CHICAGO. Jan. ga dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says;
Although the subsidy bill was report
ed TO the House by series of suspic-
ious steps, it has not had an easy time
of it since then and the prospect now
is that if put through at all 1t will be
only after a serious amendment. J.
]. Hill and E. H. Hartman. are prin-
cipally responsible for the repeated
black eyes which have been given the
bill of late.
Mr.. Watson of Indiana, the Repub-
lican whip of the House, who has un-
dertaken the work of putting the bill
through made q canvass of Republican
members of the House, only to find
that it would be impossible to secure
a majority for a hard and fast rule
which would prevent all amendments
to the committee bill.
1t has been decided, therefore, to
let the subsidy measure come up on
its merits and receive such treatment
in the way of amendment as may be
measured out to it.
Unless some further sharp practice
is resorted to, and it is hardly likely
the speaker Cannon would consent to
such a thing. it is almost certain that
the proposed subsidies to the Hill and
Hartman Steamship lines from Seat
tie and San Francisco to Japan would
be cut out of the measure. There is
chance that the 100000 gifts to
Spreckels for the line he has been
running by way Of Hawaii to New
