The bill also grants a subvention at
the rate of 5 per gross toil p.e' ear
to cargo vessels engaged in the for
Ci'1 trade of the United States and
at the rate of $6.50 per ton to Ves
sels engae in the Philippine trade.
The Philippine coastwise law beinmg
postponied until 1909. Another fea
tur'e of the bill is that ereating' a Na
val Reserve force of 10.000 ofieers
and men, who are to reecive retainers
after the British practice. Vessels
receiving subsidies are required to
carry a certain proportion of Naval
Reserve meni among their crews. The
aggregate compensation for mail lines
is about $3.000,000 annually. No
steam vessel of less than 1.000I tons
i.s to receive aid under the bill.
Busy Day in the House.
The "morninlg hour" prevailed in
the House Thursdav until aftcr 5
o'clock. The result was the passage
of a bill to increase to $30.000 a year
the Federal appropriation to each
State and Territory for the support
of agricultural experiment stations -
and of a bill repealing the present
hkw g'ranting American regitster to
foreign ships wrecked and repaired
on the American coast in the dis
cr'etion of the Secretary of the De
partmecnt of Comerce and Labor. and
requiring a special act of Congress
to grant such register.
The feature of the day was the at
tcrmpt of Mr. Payne, chairman 'of the
wa~ys and means committee. to get up
his bill for the consolidation of cus
toms collection districts. A furious
opposition developed and on a roll
call a large majority votedl against
considering the bill. Again, when the
experiment station bill came up, the
debate reverted to the Payne bill and
it was with difficulty that it could be
brought to an end. Mr. Payne. speak
ing on his bill, said it cost last year
.91,400 to. collect no revenute at Beau
fort, N. C.: at Albemarle. N. C.. it
cost $1,606 to coilleet $5. There were
fifty-one non-paying ports on the list
which Mr. Payne read from. The
total collected int these ptorts was
$47.242 and the expense of' maintain
ing thme ports was $15t;.1.3
Mr. Thomas. of Niirth Cardlina. deC
vgloped an argrumenim againist the con
solidation df ports. The measure. lhe
declared. was no't onei 0of econotmv. If
211 the ports r'eferried to by the com
rwittee werec abliishedl. he sa id. but
$109.000 a year would bte saved and
rore thtan thItis won]ld be list bv rea
son of snuml itus. wie:. lhe maintaini
ed, was carried on ini the abandonedl
ports. Besides, there were many oth
cr duties disch'largted by eustiom ifli
ccirs besides collecting revenue.
Mr. Blackbttrn. of Niorth C.ar'olina,
also spoke against the Payne bi!!.
An idirect compliment was p~aidl to
Mr. Longworth by a vote to adjourn
until Monday. although nothing will
appear itn The Record of this pur
pose.
Overman Gets Appropriation.
Senator Overman did a splendid
piece of work on Thursday. He in
duced the Senate to pass its bill ap
propriating $73,000 for the erection
of a public building at Salisbury and
a few moments later secured the pas~
sage of a bill appropriating $15.000
for building the long proposed mili
tarv road from Salisbtury to the Nat
1iinal C'emeterv. The So aute has conme
ti view with 'disr'tor b ill appopr'i,
ting? moniey for1 Snhl purposes,"' and

jured.

Saloon and consamed that place and
tle lodging house above 'it, in which
a majority of those killed and injured
were sleeping. Twenty-two horses,

get out this time,'' and he fell back

England Blames Germany.
London, by Cabe.-It is expected in
ofiial circles that the Algeeiras Con
ference will break up. possibly dur
ing the present week; leaving the Mo
rocan situation where it was before
the conference was called. Germany
is given the eredit for the failure. In
fact, it is believed here that Emperor
William, realizing that there is no
hope of Germany's demands being
endorsed by the powers. is now anx
ions that the conference shall fail.
Great Britain maintains her position,
supporting the French demands in
regard to the police. and cannot see
any reeson for a compromise. Should
the conference break up, it is under
stood that France will continue her
policy of policing the Algerian fron
tier. and should serious trouble break
out within the Sultan's domains.
France will undertake to suppress
them, notifying the powers that she
cannot allow the disorder to continue.
as it threatens the peace'of her colony.
Canton Victim to Blame.

received here from Canton says that
the anti-foreign sentiment there due

to be determined to create friction
with the United States States. The

taken no action in connection with the
representations of the consular body
regarding the recent attacks on for
egners. A leflet has been widely cir
culated in the city of Canton urging
the people to co-operate with a view
to tile expulsion of the Viceroy.
