man. Ilia aiguments wore caiofully ai
ranged, he was. always foiocful and
t-amest, and at times became eloquent.
He commanded the undhided attention
iif the senate .md of the gallflies, and
when he closed he leeched congratu

l'aily in the session Mr. rie, in
eh.nge of the pending shipping bill, ob
t.iined an .igi cement that the Sionato

pending amendments at 3 p. m. on
Monday, Match 17, that time being en

the bill.
tlefoio eonsidoiatlon of the shipping
hill was lesumed, an extended debate
oecinieel on the measuie pioidlng for
the piotcution ot the pichhltnt of the
I'nlUd State".
Mr. ftiion (Cleoigla) took the giound
that in its piesent shape the bill was
an invasion of the juiisdictlon of the
states, and that It ought to bo amended
radically. Mr, P.iUeison, of Colorado,
while ho ngiece to the general piopn
sltlons or tlu hill, inged that It ought
not to pass in its pte.senl fonn. No ac
tion on the bill was taken,
The house devoted another day to de

cmiieis undei contract. Little inteiest
was mnnliv.sted in the discussion. A

Clay's Speech Answered.
Mr. Hanna nddiessod the senate, his
lemaikn being pilncipally in answer to
Mr. Clay's speech of yesteiday. He
said th.it when Mr. Clay quoted from
Mr. Kiye's lematks, that all theie -was

under thp dlieetton of the navy depait
inent, and, In tlmo of war, absolutely
Jn the hands and under tho contiol of
the president of the United States, to
use It In the most effective manner?"
Senator Hanna said that if the
United States failed to piollt by the
expeilenee of tho older countiies nf
Huiope, io Ji.no adopted a policy In
refoienco to muiltline matteis, It would
make a most serious mistake. Kvery
merchant ship constiurted In foielgn
rouutiles was meant to be u ship of
war in time of need. Mr. Hanna cited
the feeling of uneasiness along the At
Inntlc coast at the beginning of hostili
ties wjth Spain nnd the relief which
was experienced when the four steam
oi a of the Ameilcaii line wero called
upon by tho secietary of tho navy, un
der the conditions of tho law passed
by congress, to perform picket bet vice.
Question of Cost.
In closing, Mr. Hanna again ad
verted to the question of the cost of

i
country n ei aged fifty pt cent, higher
than In Ihiropean mil lit lira. The cost
of ships built in the United States was
fioin twenty-lhe to thirty per cent,
higher than those built In Client III 11
aln, the dlffeieuce In pike of labor
making the difference in cost. The
dlfleience between tho cost of operat
ing American and foreign ships was
about twenty-seven per cent,, the
higher i.ite being paid on Amei lc.ni
vesels. He mged thnt the ponding
nicnsui p be enacted Into law as the
one way to demonstrate to the satls
lactlon of all that it would be benefi
cent In Its opeiation.
At the conclusion of Mr. llanna's
speech, Mr. Pentose, of Pennsylvania,
offeied a resolution espiessing the
soi low of the senate at thu death of
r.eptpsentathe Unfits K. Polk, of
l'ennsj lvnnln, and piovldlng tea- the

"Suppose Cuba's pioducts were Iron

One of the Philadelphia members
added that his dlslilct did not fin or
