Xifl.s CoDjrcisman?Senator Vest

Sbip Subsidy Bill.
(Bj Associated Press.)
AVASHINGTON, D. C, Alarch 10.?The
T_.lt to classify the rural free delivery
u_rv.ee and place the carriers under the
contract system, which has been defeated
Jn thc House for over a week, was pass?
ed to-day, ?>ut in a form that completeiy
changed the purpose for which it was
lramed. Before it was passed the bill
was altered radlcally by its opponents.
AH the provision relating to the plae
?i!g ot carriers under the contract sys?
tem wero striken out and thc salary
fcystem was not only continued, but tho
jnaximum salary of carriers was increased
Irom $500 to $C_> per annum. Thc amend?
ment to fix tne salaries of rural carriers
at *K>0 was offered by Air. Swanson, of
Virginia, and adopted.
An amendment, offered by Mr. Fleming,
of Georgia, was adopted to allow car?
riers lo do an express pax-kago busi?
ness wherc Jl-does not interefcre with
thcir dulics.
RIVERS AND HARBORS.
A motion. offered by Air. AVilliams
(Dem.), of lllinois, to recommlt the bill
viLI. Instructions to report baek an
amendment providing for the dismissal
Irom the service of carriers who should
use thoir infiuence in favor of any par?
ticular party for any particular can?
didate, was voted down, 96 to 141.
Earlier in tlie d3V Air. Burton, of
Ohio, chairman of the Rivcr and Har
bor Committee, reported the river ani
harbor bill qnd gave notice that ho would
call it up after tbe disposal of the post?
office appropriation bill, which will be
taken up to-morrow.
In the Senate.
WASHINGTON. D. <-*., Alarch 10.-For
nearly two hours to-day Air. A'est, of Mls?
souri, addreescd the Scnaie in opposition
to thc pending ship subsidy bill. No
member of the body has been accorded
more flattcringly close attention than he
received. Despite his cvident feeblcness,
he spoke with force and fire and at times
became briliiantly eloquent He careiully
analyz-.-d tho pendirig measure and mar
. halcd his arguments against it with co
jrenov and effect.
Mr* Tillman, of South Carolina, fol?
lowed with a brief speech in opposition
to the bill. He denounced the policy of
giving subsidies to any body, particularly
to individuals and corporations engaged
in the formation of shipping trusts.
The Alissouri Senator declared tliat sev
enty-three per cent of the propesed sub?
sidy which would be receiv.d by ships on
the Atlantic would go to a single line?
the Internatlonal Navigatioa Company?
the American line. It was in this re?
spect open to the same objection as the
bill presented lo the last Congress. The
vessels would get the subsidies whether
thev carried a single postal c nd or noL
* UNADULTERATED SUBSIDY.
iHe declared that the pending bill pro?
vided for a "pure. naked and unadulter
ated subsidy." and said it was defended
on the ground that with the subsidy the
American merchant marine could com
pcte witb the subsidized ships of Euro?
pean maritime powers. He denied that
Euch would be tbe result. England, he
asserted, had fifty-three pcr cent. of the
ocean carrying trade of the world. Atost
of Eng'.and's ocean commerce was ca riel
by her tramp sleamcis. Not a p iiny of
subsidy was paid lo any of them.
In adverting bricfly to thc operation
of the Dingley tariff law, Air. A'est spoke
of tbe lumber schedule.
Mr. Hanna interrupted to inquire how
man*' Democratic Senators had voted
for a tax of $2 a thousand feet upon
lumber when the Dingley bill was be?
fore tlie Senate.
Mr. Arest replied lhat ho could not tell.
21 e did not, he knew.
Air. Tillman, of South Carolina. inter
jected thc remark that he had voted for
J2 tax on lumber, although he knew it
was a steal, ?md had so stated at tbe
time. He had voted for it however, be?
cause he proposed to get out of the tar
.iff bill a share frr his State, and 'that
was the only way South Carolina could
get anything.
Mr. \*est urged that if the "shipping
trusts" were to be subsidized, there was
was no reason why the farming industry
Bnd the mining'industny, too, should not
??e subsidized.
AS CHEAPLT HERE.
Air. A'est maintained that ships could
>e built in this country as cheaply as
Siey eould bc built anywhere. The ship
yards of the United States were never
rmore fully employed than thc_. now
were and had been for several years.
He made a vigorous attack upon the
navigation laws of the United States,
declaring that they were responsible for
the decline of the merchant marine. Thc
remedy was to abrogate the naTigation
laws and permit citizens of the United
States to buy tbeir ships where they
could hiw them clunpest.
Mr. A'est said if this subsidy is gi>en
it will be but the beginning of the end.
and will result in a monnpolv equal to
that of the Standard Oil Company.
Mr. Tillman said the bill would foster
monopolies and referred to the proposed
i.icorporation or the United States Ship
. uilding Company, whirh would absorb
lhc birgc shipyards of the country. Speak?
ing of the use of vessels in case of emer
puicy by the Government. Air. Tillman
.aid ho would citc as a commentary on
patriotism aud love of Country the fact
that thc four scout ships?St. Paul. Paris,
New A'ork and St. Bouis?used during the
S nanlsh wnr. cost the Government _._..
R.*:,">. and these, he said, had been subsi?
dized under a pretense lhat they would
t-crve us in time of cmergeney.
The Senate went into executive session
nn. adjourned.

Under Delarey.
ATTACK MADE BEFORE DAWN

Heavy.
(By Assoclntod Press.)
LOKDOX, March 10.?A dispatch from
General Kitchener reports the capture o?
General Methuen and four suns, beside
a number of oflicers and men, kilied and
wounded in an engagement with the
Boers under General Delarey.
General Methuen was wounded in the
thigh. Three Briti_.li officcrs and thirty
eight men were kilied. Five British offi?
cers and seventy-two men were wounded.
One British officer and two hundred men
are mis.ing.
The fight in whieh General Methuen was
captured occurred before dawn .larch
7th, between Winburg and Biclietcnburg,
Giange River coiony. The British force
numbered 1,200 men. The Boers captured
all the Brilish baggage. General Me?
thuen is retained as a prisoner.
THE DISPATCH.
The text of Lord Kitchener" s dispatch
regarding the capture of General Methuen
is as follows:
"Pretoria. Saturday, March 8.?I greatly
regret to have to $end you bad news of
Methuen. He was moving with nine hun?
dred mountcd men, under Major Paris,
and three hundred infantry, four guns
and a pompom, from Wynburg to Liech
tenburg. and was to meet Grenfcll, with
1,300 mounted nien, at Roviraines Fon
tein to-day. Yesterday morning he was
attacked by Delarey's force between
Twe-Boseh and Palmioteknill. The Boers
charged on three sides.
"Five hundred and fifty men have come
in at Maribogs and Kraaipan. They
were pursued by the Boers four milcs
from the scene of lho action. They re
?port that Methuen and Paris, with the
guns. baggage. etc, were captured by
the Boers. Methuen. when last seen. was
a prisoner. I have no details of-the cas?
ualties, and -U'-'gest delaying publication
till I can send definito news. I think
tbis sudden revival of activity on the
part of Delarey is to draw off thc troops
presslng DcWet."
Kl.ATUiU-VKD BROKE.
In a second dispatch, dated Sunday,
March 9th, Dord Kitchener says:
"Paris has come in at Kraaipan with
the reniainder of the men. Ue reports
tliat the column Was moving in two parts.
One, with thc ox wagons, left Twc
Baseh at 3 o"clock A. M. The other,
with the mule wagons, started an hour
later. Just before dawn lho Boers at?
tacked Before reinforcements could
reach them the rcarguard broke. In the
meanlime a lai-ge number of Boers gal
loped up on both flanks. These at first
were ehecked by the flauking partie.. but
the _ inic nnd stampede ot' the mules had
begun, and all thc mule wagons, with a.
terrible mixture of mounted men. rushed
?past the ox wagons. All efforts to
check them were unavailing. Major
Paris coilected forty men and occupied
a position a mile in front of the ox
wa ,ons. which were Ihen halted. After
a gallant but useless defense, the enemy
rushed into the ox wagons and Methuen
was wounded in tho thigh. Fari= benig;
surrounded. surrendered at 10 A. M. Me?
thuen is still in the Boer camp."
Then follows the number of the cas?
ualties. as already cablod. The kilied in?
clude Di eulenunts G. lt. Yehnig and T.
p. W. Nesham, of the Royal Arlillerv,
who wore both kilied while serving th.ir
?_ins with c. se shot.
As Dord Kitchener aunounce'l that Ma
ior Paris had sur?-endered and also tcl
graphed that ho liad reached Kraaipan
with the rema'ndcr of the men. it may hc
inferred that the .Bo<_-s stib'-cuentlv re?
leased the Major and his eoinpanloiis.

Succeed Him.
RETIRES FR0IV1 PUBLiC LIFE
Mr. Long Has Only Remained ia lhe Cabinet
From a Feeling of Loyalty to President,
and ile Will Now Resume the
Practice oi Law.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 10.?The
third change in thc Cabinet of Pres.de.it
Roosevelt occurred to-day, when Secie
tary Long submitted his res.gnatiOn in ..
graceiul letter, it being accepted in one
equally felieitous by tho President. Th.
chango wus made complete by ihe the se?
lection of Representative Wiliiam Henry
Moody, of tlie Sixih Congressional Dis?
trict of Massacliusetts, as Mr. Long's
successor in the Navy Department. Mr.
iMoody will assume charge of the Navy
Department May 1st.
The change has been expected for a long
time. Mr. Long had intended to retin
at lhe beginning of thc late Presideni
McKinley's second term, but hc coiisentcd
to remain until certain lines of policy in
which hc wa.s involved were more sat
isfactorily arranged. Then when Presi?
dent Rocsevclt succcedcd, thou.h anxious
to return to private life?for Secretary
Long will never again enter public lif_?a
stromr feeling of loyalty towards Mr.
Roosevelt induced tlie Secretary to del'er
his retirement until it was eonvenient for
tho President lo make a change. Mr.
Long- will re-enter the practice of law.
The correspondence. exchanged to-day is
as follows:
"Xavy Department,

"My Dear Mr. President.?Will you kind

Mr. Moody's selection for thc post of
Secretary of tho Navy was the outcome
Cf an interesting contest. There were no
less than half a dozen -aspirants. but the
struggle finally narrowed down to the
two representatives in Congress. Mr.
Poss, of Illinois. chairman of thc Naval
Committee of the House. who bad the
energetic support of his Western col?
leagues. and Mr. Moody, for whom Sena?
tor Lodge made the winning fight. It
was for a timo in doubt whether Mr.
Moody would not bo piaced in some im?
portant foreign mission rather than in
the Navy Department, but he preferred
to stay at home.

IS ANXIOUS TO
SECURE HARMONY
President Tired of Strained Re
lations Over Cuban
Reciprocity.
(By Assoclat-d Pieis.)
WASHINGTON", March 10.?A number
of Senators and Representatlves saw the |
President to-day, and somo of them
teilked with him concerning Cuban reci?
procity. The President told some of
his visitors there was difliculty in de
termining just what p -omises or repre
sentations were made to the Cuban dele?
gates when they vlsited Washington
last summer just previous to the adop?
tion of the Platt amendment as a part
of the Cuban Constitution. There was
no record of any promise, but the un?
derstanding seemed to be that rcciprocal
arrangements were to be made with
Cuba of a nature which would give the
islands products an advantegs in the
markets of the United States.
ln the course of the discussion to-d?y
lt is said that Senator Allison remarked
t_.it more importance had been given
the subject than it warranted; tliat
lho proposed 20 per cent reduction to be
granted to Cuba would not be of mate?
rial advantage to the planters of the
island, nor would such a reduction of
duty on Cuban sugar affect in any mate?
rial way the bect sugar interests of this
country.
The President exprcssed a desire to
secure harmony, and some of the Sena?
tors who saw him said they believed
that this also was the desire of the Re?
publicans in Congress, some of whom
thought that it was quite important that
the strained relations should not con?
tinue.
It was said that no special message
was in contemplation, and the President
c'ontinued to maintain the position for
reciprocity he had taken in his annuai
mes__ge.
REASSURED MR. HENDERSON,
Opposition Republicans Have Nothing Per?
sonal Aga nst the Speaker.
(By Assoclated Press.)
WASFHNGTON, D. C, March 10.?In
view of reports that opposition to the
Ways and . leans Committee's 20-per
cent. Cuban recipirocity plan was a move?
ment against Speaker Henderson and those
of the House in authority, Representative
Alden Smith, of Michigan, one of the
active members of tlie opposition, has
calied on Speaker Henderson and has as
sured him that the opposition was not
in any manner dirccted against thc
House' ledership or the Speaker, hut was
soJely due to an earnestjjpnviction against
a reduction of tariff duties.
Mi-. Smith also calied to-day on Sec?
retary of the Treasury Shaw and pre?
sented to the Secretary a means by
which, in Mr. Smith's estimation, reiief
could be given Cuba by action of the
treasury without recourse to. reciprocity
reduction. Mr. Smith pointed out that
under the recent Brussels agreement the
Cartel system would continue another
year. He proposed therefore that unda.
section five of the Dingley act a coun
tervailing duty be imposed by the treas?
ury against sugar under the Cartel sys?
tem, thc same as this countervai.ling duty
is now imposed against bounty sugar.
It was urged iu support of this plan that
it would give another greater reiief to
Cuban sugar than any action Congress
could take. Secretary Shaw took the
sug-testion "under consideration.
Both elements in the Cuban reciprocity
eontroversy were active in both houses
to-day.

ELECTRiCAL CONTRACTORS.
An Ordlnance Proposid Imposing a License
Upon iliera
At the meeting of the Committee on
Electricity last night Superintendent
Thompson presented an ordinance de?
signed to license, control and regulat.e
electrical contractors, interior electricai
wiremen and operators of electrical ma?
chinery, and in so doing stated that the
electrical situation in the city at tli . pres?
ent time was such as to demand that
some restrictions be placed upon the per?
sons V.-ho are doing electrical wiring. He
recommended the ordinance as a step in
the right direetion to protect the city
from work being done by unskuled work?
men.
Under the proposed ordinance it shall
bo unlawful for any person, firm or cor?
poration to install electrical machinery,
apparatus or construction, for the purpose
of furnishing light, heat or power by
nicaus of electricity, without first having
obtained a license, and the amount of
samo is fixed to be 5100. A second para
graph provides that an employe of any
person, lirm or corporation who does
any electrical work, either original or re?
pair work, in any building, shall pay a
license ol" $3.00 per annum. The ordi?
nance also provides for a license to be
paid by persons w_o operate an electric
light, plating, heat or power plant. ln or?
der to obtain a license for any one of
the three classes the applicant shall
Stand an examination, which, if approved
by the Committee on Electricity, shall
eutitle him to a license.
Repiesentatives1 of several of the com?
panies engaged in electrical work were
heard. Those who spoke seemed to think
.that the ordinance was something that
was needed for the city. Some differed
about the license fee for the first-class
and thought the amount should be fixed
ar. a less sum. From the remarks made,
however, it was apparent that the or?
dinance met with the approval of tho
contractors, it being argued by them
that under the present ordinances out
of town contractors are permitted to bid
in work in the city and come here and
do the same. without payirig any license
tee whatever.
The ordlnance was referred to a sub
eommittee. consisting of the chairman
and Mr. Thoniason, who. acting with the
City Attorney. are to frame a substitute
ordinance, which shall cover the case
aud harmonize as far as possible the
differences as to tlie amount of license fee
to be required in each of thc several
classes.
A communication was received from
the City Attorney iu which he informs
tho committee that under the charter
it is hot ipcrmissible for the city to em
?loy as its officer and electrician and
impose upon him the duties of the City
Electrician, a person to be named or paid
by one or more of tho insuranco com?
panies doing-business in the city.
The City Electrician also presented his
report for February. whieh showed that
f_ permits for electrical work had been
issued from his oflice.
Those present at tho meeting were
Chairman Gunst, Messrs. Curtis, Thom
ason and West.
