MANE WO-NI BE OLD. To Parties Who Wish to Exhibit th( Battleship-Proposition Defeat ed by House. Washington, Dec. 16.-Efforts to au thorize the sale of the hull of the bat tleship Maine to private parties vh desire to exhibit at various ports o: the United State,s and charge an ad mission fee to visitors, were defeate" in th-_ house of representatives today The urgent deficiency bill, carrying ing an appropriation of $250,000 tc complete the work of raising th( Maine, after a hard fight, passed th( house without charge. It was admitted in the debate tha: offers approaching $1,i00,000 hav belan received from exhibition intcr-s for the rear portion of the hull, whicli can be fitted up with a bulkhead and towed from Havana to the United States. To Sink Hull in Ocean. Chairman Fitzgerald, of the appro priations committee, admitted that it is the present intention of the govern ment to tow the rear part of the hull out into the ocean and sink it, with the naval honor that goes to a gallant battleship. "I believe it would be better for the people to get what we can for the ship," declared Representative Macon, of Arkansas, who opened the fight for the sale of the hull. "There are plen ty of novelty seekers and Con?y Is landites who would gladly take the old carcass where it is, and pay a good price for it, in order to get it over here, and charge so much per look at it, or'sell pieces of it to curio hunters at so much per curio." Mr. Macon's proposal to cut out the appropriation to complete the work on the Maine was defeated. "In my opinion the American people 'would not tolerate making a public show of that old vessel," said Mr. Fitz gerald. "There are some things that are sacred to the people, and among -them are the remains of, men or of 'vessels lost in defense of the nation. I would deplore the American govern ment attempting to make profit out -of this ship, merely to gratify the idle curiosity of any people of the Unit *ed States." Offers of Nearly $1,000,000 Made. 'Representative Sisson, of Missis sippi, who was one of th-e committee of congress that recently visited the wreck and inspected the work, then attempted to secure the adoption of 'an amendment authorizing the' war department to invite bids from pri vate parties for- the rear portion of the hull, to ,be used for exhibition pur poses. He said General Bixby, in charge of the work at Havana, stated that several tentative offers had been received from the United States, some of them approaching $1,000,000. Mr. Sisson said he did not consider it as opp}osed to the desires of the American peopl~e to provide for a pub ilic exhihition of the wreck of the Ma~ne under private auspices. ,"~ would have no objection to hav ing it towed up the Mississippi river and exhibited to my children," de clared Mr. Sisson. The house refused to sanction any sale of the Maine. The bill as passed would permit the secretary of the navy to give a portion of the wreck to the city of Havana for a public mtonu ment, such a request having been made by the president of Cuba, and would. authorize the secretaries of war and navy to grant other portions as souv enirs to cities, patriotic societies or survivors or heirs of survivrors of the -vessel. Now is the time to cubscribe to The erald and News. $1.50 a year. MEASURE WILL HURT SOUTH. Pension Bill May Prevent Passage of Public Building Bill-Newberry Affected. Washington, Dec. 15.-As predicted, the passage of the dollar-a-day pen sion .bill by the house has probably caused this year's public building bill, which is of great importance to the South, probably to be abandoned un 'til next session, unless Congressmen 'Underwood and Morris Sheppard, 'chairman of the house committee on 'buildings and grounds, Fitzgerald and eothers are overruled. The latter do liot hesitate to say that the country is in no condition to stand the passage of a bill of this kind, calling for an appropr-iation of probably $40,000,000, just after the passage of the pension bill, and they propose to lio all they ea to prevent the enactment of such a measure. The majority on the committee, however, -want a bill passed, regard less of the pension bill. Today Mr. Underwood said: "h 'treasury department is already thre4 and a half years behind in its worn on public buildings, and even if a bil wer passed and buildings authorize< it would be impossible for them to b( started for the next four or five years For that reason if for no other, w( would wait until next year, at least before even considering a public build ing bill. "Moreover, the house of representa tives, having already passed the Sher wood pension bill, ought to hesitate long time -before making any furthe: drai-s upon the treasury. I think w< may say with reasonable certaint: that the house will not authorize public building bill at this session which, if fair to everybody, would ap propriate $30,000,000 to $40,000,000." It will be seen that iq this situa tion the outlook is that many cities i the South will go without federa A Kicking You are a regular kiel this Christmas on accom what you want, and the finest Apples, Oranges,- 1 we have ever been able So now don't make a kic by going elsewhere to b fied, but come to us at order.

The dollar-a-day pension bill may yet prove to be the cause of much more trouble before the sessilon ends - unless the senate pulls the house out of the b'ole by killing the bili. - In plain language this means that -if there is no public building bill at L this session, every town or city in thez State which has either already pur chased a site or had one authorized by congress will be affected to the ex tent that no money will be voted for buildings until some other session.: Likewise those places which were ex pecting something this time must wait. 1 Now is the time to subscribe t, The Herald and News.
