WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The senate met at 11 o'clock today and with the exception of an hour and a. half at th.e beginning of the session devoted tho entire day to the discussion of the ship subsidy bill. Turner and Mallory were the speakers in behalf of the opposition. Turner's sp.-ech was based largely upon excrp tlons which he had taken to Frye's criticism of his former speech. The situation was not changed by any developments today. The Repub licans intend to continue pressing the uhlpping bill and the lead.rs say that next week will develop whether or not the opposition Intend to talk the meas uie to death. A great deal depends upon the suc cess of the Republicans in holding night, sessions next weel.. If they show up with a quorum until late hours for threo or four nights the opposition might weaken. The Democrats say tiiat the Republicans must demonstrate that they have a majority for the bill which will "sit up with it' 'and show tley are determined to pass it. far a the public interest 1 concerned.

CHARLES HEILBORN & SON expressed themselves as profoundly touched by the manifestations of sym pathy in America. To th? American, the ceremonials with all their theatrical trappings of royalty, wvre not more impressive than the fv.n"ral of a ohlef magistrate rh s en by the people. Kings and princes beneath silver helmets and wearing goldbraidcd coats, were men, but the sigh; of the king riding after the coffin of his mother and queen, with four oth er king and half a hundred of the highest royalties of European dynas ties following, and the hereditary at taches of the court, was one never to b? forgotten. The popular monnlng was less gen ual and ostentatious than it would have teen in the United States. The whole ceremonial. Including the mass ing of 30.000 troops and the entertaln Ment of all visiting personages was an admirable example of organiiatn n. This city tonight has somewhat of a holiday appearance, thousands parad ing the streets. Restaurants and sal oons are doing a tremendous business. Hospitals cared for 1300 person who were Injured In the crowd. Political phases are being discussed. The remarkable predominance, i f Ger mans and German influences is note worthy. Emperor William's officers, soldiers and sailors were more consp c uous In all the cerenionUs than those of all other nations together. This had tlu effect of pot ular zing Germany with the people, who recently regarded her as their irost menaolng enemy. It is evident that Englishmen realize that Edward's reign begins confronted by a commercial crisis and political dangers which give a shadow of anx iety to there mourning for the queen. Tonight the queen's body lie in Al bert chip'! at Windsor guarded faith fully awaiting the last rites. Jt was at Windsor that the only hitches in the elaborate program of the day oc curred, and these, added to rather than detracted from the dramatic and pa thetic Interest. The first and most striking was the intractability of th.? horses attached to the gun carriage bearing the coffin, j They struggled in their traces and the coffin waa almost thrown from the gun carriage. Lord Roberts asked the king for pormlrsion to take out the horses and substitute for them .Jackie who had come up from Portsmouth a a guard of honor. This suggestion was quickly sanctioned and the last time Victoria's body was borne before her subjects it was by her royal "hand men." The other hitch occurred dining the rellgicus part of the ceremony. The service at St. George's chapel was brief but beautiful. The trembling old Arch- bithop of Canterbury, who is almost blind, had scarcely ended the final bene diction before he turned to go up the altar steps. His sight and strength failed him and he tottered, groped and was on the jolnt of falling when the Archbishop of York caught his band and gently led th venerable prelate' to liant gathering was received by the king an! queen with the briefest de lay. The coffin was reverently removed by an officer and twelve grenadiers and deposited. The pall, with the crown on a cushion, the xe8alia and the in signia of the Garter were placed there on, and the procession marshalled ahead became mobile. LONDON THRONGED. LONDON. Feb. 2. The gray dawn of a London morning, with the sky draped with fleecy clouds, proclaimed Ideal conditions for the funeral of England's queen. The calm serenity of the at mosphere was reflected by the crowds which at daylight began to as-mble at every point of vantage along fhe route of the royal obsequies. The early scenes were unlike those of many spectacular da-9 which Lon don has witnessed in the past year. The crowds which so eaily gathered in the streets this mcrning evinced an entire lack of feverish unrest and ex citement. The great masses of pol'cJ ...II l LI.. .1 1 . . ,11.. (Which UASeuiuicu pnanioni-iiiie oi me j grayness of the morning, seemed more apologetically to tiptoe to their a lotted stations, as though their presence re flected on the solemnity dominating everywhere. Never did a concourse of people so little need either civil or' military' guid ance. No man standing by his moth er's bier ever needed aimon'tion ltss than did these hundreds of thousands of men and women, gathered from all parts of the kingdom on the funeral route of their mother, the queen. The strangest part of all was the fact that the women seemed to out number the men. White-ribboned nurs- j es marked almost every yard, along the route, just as the Marys of old gath ered .beneath the. cross at the greatest of all spectacles of human grief, so women today were in the forefront at the burial of the queen. Troops there were, to be sure, thousands upon thou sands, assembling spectre-like out of the morning mist, their blue black overcoats and bearskins deepening the note of mourning pervading everything. In the great green spaces of Hyde Park, St. James and others these long biacK lines stand silhouetted ugamst th'i. morning sky, solemn, silent and picturesque, staunchly stemming the on-rush of that endless flood of people pouring in from every street and ave nue. Purple was the tone of the royiM mourning and this seemed almost a relief, contrasted with these silent masses of black-garbed crowds. It was the true note, after all, of the day's ceremonial, for no one among Eng land's heart-stricken people could look upon the finished life of their queen with feelings of entire gloom. The troops began to move less ear ly than on proclamation day. That was the day of the official pronouncement of the authority of the king and the streets were closed as If by magic and IN THE HOUSE. WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. Representa tive Jonea of Washington has Intro duced In the house a bill providing that after January 1, 1903, no foreign vessel should enter any port of the United St ttes carrying products other than the products of the country whose Mag she flies. v , ' The house committee on marine and fisheries has received a letter from General Dumont, supervising Inspector of steam vessel, endorsing the bill to require the inspection of naptha launch es and other craft propelled by gas, naptha, etc., which carry passengers or freight, without regard to the ton nage of the vessel.. The act to be amended fixed the min imum limit of tonnage of vessels to be inspected at fifteen tons. General Dumont wrote that vessels slightly un der fifteen tons on the Western waters run in competition with the steam ves sels carrying passengers and, being ex empt from steamboat laws, have made no provision ff-r the safety of passen gers. He expresses the opinion that the enactment of the till amending the law is for the prevention of the loss of life on gasoline and other motor- vessels. TILLAMOOK RAILWAY.
