Various times today, not only from the
mine owners but from officers from
various civic bodies and by priva,e
individuals, all urging upon the presi-
dent the necessity Of the presence of
the troops.
In the meantime it appears that con-
ditiOns today are much better Ion

FOR SHIP SUBSIDY.
Efforts to be Made to Get Measure
Passed at Present Session of Con-

Cleveland, Ohio, December 21.-
United States senators, congressman
and high government officials and
representatives Of many business in
terests gathered here today in the
interest Of ship subsidy. Harvey
D. GOulder, president Of the Mer-
chants Marine League, under the
auspices of which the convention was
held, expressed the opinion that the
meeting would not only have a good
result, but the attendance and en-
thusiasm shown by the delegates
from various parts of the country
indicated that the general public was
taking a greater interest in the SUBJ
ject of the merchant marine and a
subsidy for seagoing craft
The convention was in a degree
the beginning of a campaign of edu-
cation but the greatest efforts of
the league will be directed to congress
this winter in the interests of the
United States mail subsidy for ocean
steamers.
1t is estimated that the govern
ment will have to donate about 5000,
100000 to place the merchant mar
inc in a position successfully to COM
pete with the merchant marine of
other nations, where subsidy exists
1t was asserted by the advocates
of subsidy that the meaaure was not
only of interest to the vessel owners
but of direct benefit to every citizen
of the United States and that the
ships were entitled to this assistance
as much as the rivers, harbors and
railways.
The days conference was conclud-
ed with banquet this evening, which
was a general love feast over the
success of the league in it's work
SO far. The star attractions at the
banquet were Senator J. B. Foraker
of Ohio and Senator ]. H. Gallinger
of New HAMPSHIRE.

More or less inertia prevails In the

The condition of the bond market is

may be reduced either as a necessity
owing TO the diminished profits. or rs
matter Of policy in times Of adver-
sity. The action on Pennsylvania and
New York Central dividends this week
has been severely criticised and is
hardly likely to be repeated by other
