Ship Subsidy Bill
It Passed the United States Senate Monday After-
noon. Measure Won by Eleven Votes. Six Re-
publicans Voted Against the Bill and One Demo-
erat, Voted for It. The Vote was Yeas 42, Nays 31.
WASHINGTON, March 17.—After pro-
longed debate the Senate to-day passed the
ship subsidy bill, the final vote ou the
measure being 42 to 31. Senators Allison
and Dolliver,of Iowa,Spooner and Quarles,
of Wisconsin, and Proctor and Dillingbam,
of Vermont, Republicans, voted against
final passage of the bill and Senator Mec-
Laurin, of South Carolina, voted for it.
Some amendments to the bill were adopted
but they were all agieeable to those in
charge of the measure, friends of the bill
voting down all other amendments. With
the exception of an amendment offered by
Mr. Frye, limiting the time of the opera-
tion of contracts made under the provisions
of the bill to July 1st, 1902, and providing
that the amount of the expenditure under
the mail subsidy paragraph shall not at
any time exceed $8,000,000, annually, none
of the amendments agreed to materially
affected the bill as it was reported from the
commerce committee.
The voting upon amendments began at 3
o'clock and such a flood of them was offer-
ed that a final vote on the bill, as amend-
ed, was not reached until just before 6
o’clock. Amendments offered by Mr. Vest,
of Missouri, providing for ‘‘Free ships and
for the application of the provisions of the
anti-trust law to the shipping industry’’
were 1ejected, as was the amendment pre-
pared by Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, pro-
viding that no Chinese person should be a
member of the crew of the subsidized ves-
sel. Mr. Pettus, of Alabama, offered a reso-
lution providing that the total expenditure
under the bill should not exceed $9,000,-
000 any one year. 1t was adopted in com-
mittee of the whole, but later in the Sen-
_ ate was rejected.
The Senate agreed to an amendment,
offered by Mr. Spooner, providing that
Congress should have power to amend or
repeal the act, without impairing any con-
tract made under its authority. Mr. Han-
na of Ohio, offered,and the Senate adopted,
three amendments applying directly to the
acquisition by J. Pierpont Morgan and his
associates of the Leyland line of British
ships. They provide that no foreign-built
ship shall participate in the subsidy; that
nothing in the act shall be construed to
prevent American citizens or corporations
from holding or operating foreign ships in
the ocean-carrying trade, and that no for-
eign-built ship of ary line thus acquired
by American citizens shall be admitted
hereafter to American registry.
New Banknotes Prepared.
Beauty of Design and Convenience in Handling.
Their Features.
WASHINGTON, March 17.—The Comp-
troller issued to-day the first delivery of
new national bank notes, known as the
series of 1902.
The notes will be issued only to banks
organized since January 1, 1902, and those
extending or re-extending their charters.
These notes are a radical departure in de-
sign, and are considered a great improve-
ment. The backs have an artistic Vignette
in green. The faces bear portraits of Pres-
ident Harrison for the $5 note, President
McKinley for the $10, Secretary McCalloch
for the $20, Secretary Sherman for the $50
and Comptroller of the Currency John J.
Knox for the $100.
To facilitate assorting the charter num-
hers with a system of letters in hroad-face
type designating the geographical division
in which the bank is located, has been
devised as follows: Letter N, New England
States; E, Eastern States; M, Middle States;
8S, Southern States; W, Western States, and
P, Pacific States.
The Comptroller saves hank correspon-
dence by announcing that it will be im-
possible to change designs for banks which
have already had their notes prepared.
Great Boston Strike is Over.
The
Boston, March 17.—The great strike of
last week, involving 20,000 union men, was
completely wiped out to-day when prac-
tically every man went back to his work
under conditions butslightly changed from
those existing when the trouble began.
To-night the only incident in the labor
gitnation is the strike of seventy-five long-
shoremen at the Clyde live wharves. This
is an independent strike brought about by
two disgruntled workmen. At the freight
sheds of the railronds the number of men
left without immediate employment wa

Henry Was A Tired Man.
When He Finally Boarded the Deutschiand at New-
York He Slept Almost Continuously for Forty-Eight
Hours, Except for the Time He Appeared for His
Meals or to Take Short Walks on the Bridge.
CHERBOURG, France, March 17.—The
arrangements made by Emperor William
for the reception of Prince Henry, when
the latter arrives at Cuxhaven, were®com-
municated to the Frince after the Deutsch-
land left Plymouth. Prince Henry ex-
pressed himself as greatly pleased there-
with. He interprets the elaborate plans of
Emperer Willlam as an expression of his
majesty’s complete satisfaction at the suc-
cess of the Prince’s American trip.
Prince Henry says he was so tired when
he finally boarded the Deutcshland at New
York that he slept almost continuously for
forty-eight hours, except for the time he
appeared for his meals or to take short
walks on the bridge. He says he never
worked so hard in his life’ as when he was
in the United States; that he never changed
his uniforms so many times a day or faced
a succession of situations requiring such
alertness and a certain initiative on his part
They were situations which could not be
met with merely formal behavior or the Me-
chanical execution of a routine program.
While eonversing with members of his
suite, Prince Henry has alluded to many
things in connection with his trip. He
has mentioned nothing more frequently
than that no single unpleasant incident
occurred in the United States. Ideas, |
scenes were crowded upon him too rapidly
for proper appreciation at the moment,
perbaps, but as Prince Henry himself said:
‘‘We have accumulated material to think
ahout for months to come.”’
When one of ns party asked him what
had impressed him most, the Prince re-
plied that the great, orderly and cheerful
crowds had been his most continuous topics
of interest and would probably always be
one of his vivid impressions.
The Prince said he saw crowds out of
doors and indoors, faces of men and women,
with here and there a powerful, a beauti-
ful, ora spiritual face. He said his regret,
if he dared to say he had any, was that he
could not know some of those people bet-
ter.
Methuen Saw Them.
——— |
Identified the Boer's Advance When Three Miles
Away.
LONDON, March 18.—Describing the dis-
aster to General Methuen, the Pretoria
correspondent of the Slandard repeats the
details already given in Lord Kitchener’s
despatches and adds that General Methuen
identified the Boer advance when it was
three miles distant.
The correspondent praises the gallantry
of the Boers, who, he says, charged heed-
less of the hot fire into their lines, and
contrasts the cool steadiness of the British
infantry supporting the guns, when the
muzzles of the Boer guns were upon them.
After placing the convoys in the kraal in
charge of Major Paris, continues the cor-
respondent, General Methuen galloped
back to the guns on the right. He en-
conraged his men by voice and gesture and
became a conspicuous target for the Boer
marksmen, who concentrated their fire on
him ag he rode from point to point.
When commandant Colliers unmasked a
couple of fifteen-pounders and began shell-
ing the kraal, that position became hope-
less and it would bave been, under the cir-
cumstances, nothing short of madness to
look for any favorable issue, The only
means of preventing unavailing loss of life
Granger Rhone’s Canvass.
Says He Had a Right to Get Sentiment Concerning
Governorship: + .
Leonard Rhone, for years Worthy Master
of the Pennsylvania State Grange, Patrons
of Husbandry, in a statement issued from
Harrisburg Friday night, resents the as-
sertion of present Worthy Master Hill and
secretary of the cxecutive committee
Oster that he had no right as a member of
the executive committee to canvass the
local Granges to obtain their sentiment on
the gubernatorial candidates. He says it
was merely the following out of a custom
observed in the past and adds :
‘In response to these inquiries nearly 500
local Grange organizations from all parts
of the State bave voluntarily replied in be-
half of the Republican Members, which
was their privilege. that 420 local Granges
have declared for former Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor L. A. Watres; 13 for Lieutenant-
Governor J. P. 8. Gobin; 4 for Attorney-
General J. P. Elkin; 2 for J. C. Sibley,
and 1 for T. M. Mahon. . :
‘In behalf of the Democratic members
415 local Granges have declared for ex-
Governor Robert E. Pattison; 7 for ex-
Lieutenant-Governor Chauncey Black; 3
for J. Henry Cochran; 2 for ex-Judge Gor-
don; 1 for Elisha A. Coray.”’
Call to Quay
Defeat.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-—It is stated
here to-night that as a result of the confer-
ference in Philadelphia yesterdav between
Governor Stone, Attorney General Elkin
and Insurance Commissioner Durham, and
the latter consultation here last night be-
tween Mr. Durham and Senator Penrose,
Senator Quay has been asked to come home
from Florida at once and he will arrive
here within afew days.
It is claimed that both the Penrose and
the Elkin people are alarmed at the situa-
tion ; the first because of the increasing
opposition to the nomination of the At-
torney General and the latter because of
the ,annénncement in so many counties
that the delegates to the state convention
will not be instructed on the gubernatorial
question, but will be ‘friends of Quay.”
Pennsylvanians look upon this as mean-
ing that Senator Quay intends to thus con-
trol a majority of the state convention, and
then, should Mr. Elkin be found too heavy
a load for the party to carry this year, the
“mailed hand’? will be laid on him and he
will be set aside.
It is also reported that the leaders of
hoth factions in Pittsburg have notified
Governor Stone that there can be no har-
mony there with Mr. Elkin as the nominee
for Governor.
No State Agricultural Exhibit.
HARRISBURG, March 19.—A meeting of
the executive committee of the Pennsylva-
nia commission to the Charleston exposi-
tion was held here to-day, at which it was
decided to make no state agricultural ex-
hibit at the exposition, which closes June
1st. The last Legislature appropriated
‘$5,000 for an agricultural display, and
William F. Hill, of Meadville, master of
the State Grange, was recently chosen to
arrange for it. Mr. Hill reported to-day
to the committee that the time was too
short in which to prepare an exhibit, after
which the committee decided to cover the
money back into the state treasury.

Fusion in Nebraska.
Tacit Agreement Between Democrats and Populist
on State Ticket.
LiNcoLN, Neb., March 19.—The state
central committees of the Democrats and
Populists met here to-night to agree upon
the time and place for the state conven-
tions, but decided to delegate power to
their respective chairmen.
The question of fusion’ was discussed in
executive session and, although no binding
action was taken, there was a tacit agree-
ment that the two parties will fuse on a
state ticket.
BRYAN'S 42D BIRTHDAY.
W. J. Bryan is no longer a resident of
the city of Lincoln. This was Mr. Bryan’s
42d birthday, and he celebrated the event
by moving to his farm, four miles from the
city. Until a handsome country residence,
which he is building shall be completed
Mr. Bryan and his family will live in the
barn. :
Townville Bank Looted.
Between $7,000 and $8,000 Stolen from Craw-
ford County Concern.
The Farmers Bank, of Townville, Craw-
-| ford county, was burglarized some time
Tuesday night and the entire supply of cash
contained {in the vault, amounting to be-
tween $7,000 and $8,000, stolen. The vanlt
door was drilled and blown open and the
inner doors were forced.
The burglars obtained $1,400 in silver,
$600 in gold, and between $5,000 and $6,-
000 in bills, about $400 of the latter being
in ones and twos. There is no clue to the
perpetrators, although suspicion falls on
three men who were seen in that vicinity
a day or two ago.
The residences of Dr. W. H. Quay and
Dr. G. W. Ellison were also visited and
food and dishes stolen, these being evi-
dently taken to an unoccupied hotel build-
ing, where traces of a midnight meal have
been found.
The Bank of New Castle, Ky., was rob-
bed early Tuesday morning of $4,500 cash,
a lot of jewelry belonging to Isaac W.
Kelly, its President and $500 worth of
stamps deposited by the Postmaster. Cit-
izens were aroused, but were held at bay
until the burglars made their escape.
Kranger Still Has Hope.
Says Boers Cannot Vield [Independence Without
Offending God.
LoNDoN, March 20.—The Paris corres-
pondent of The Times quotes part of a
statement made by Mr. Kruger in the pres-
ence of a representative of the Matin. Dr.
Leyds and Mr. Fischer were also present.
Mr. Kruger said be still relied on Divine
help, and prayed to God to add to the mir-
acles he was accomplishing in favor of the
Boers, that of dispelling the blindness of
the British. Mr. Kruger said the British
offers of peace were unacceptable, because
the Boers could not abandon their inde-
pendence, which was God's gift. He add-
ed :
‘We could not give up without repudiat-
ing God and meriting His maledictions.”’ |

money ($72,500) paid to the brigandsas a
ransom for Miss Ellen Stove and her com-
panion, Mme. Tsilka.

THE COMPLETED CONFERENCE PRo-
GRAM.—The annual session of the Central
Pennsylvania Methodist Conference, which
will convene in this place on next Tuesday,
will be an event of more than passing in-
terest and for that reason the WATCHMAN
appends the following completed program,
{ according to which the daily proceedings
will be carried on.
It might not be out of place here to state
that Bellefonte will be quite crowded next
week, but not too much so to make room
for all who care to attend. Most of the ses-
sions will be held in the Methodist church.
At none, except those designated on the
program as ‘Conference Session,”” will
there be any reservation of seats. At the
‘‘Conference Sessions,’’ all of which will be
beld in the morning, enough seats will be
reserved for the members ; leaving all the
others open to those who occupy them first.
At the afternoon and evening sessions there
will be no reservation made for ministers
and they will take equal chances with the
public in getting seats. There will be only
one pay lecture during the week. That
will be on Friday evening, when Dr. Pick-
ard, of Cleveland, will deliver his famous
lecture on ‘‘The House that Jack Bailt.”’
The program follows :
