CHANGE GRAFT BILL
Hill and Harriman Responsible
for Profable Amendments.
STEAL WILL BE MADE LESS
Subsidies to Steamship Lines From
San Francisco and Seattle Will
Probably Be Eliminated, But
Spreckels May Get Gifts.
CHICAGO. Jan. 29. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Although the subsidy bill was report
ed to the House by a series of suspic
ious steps. It has not had an easy time
of It since then and the prospect now
Is that if put through at all It will be
only after a serious amendment. J.
J. Hill and E. H. Harriman, are prin
cipally responsible for the repeated
black eyes which have been given the
bill of late.
Mr. Watson, of Indiana, the Repub
lican whip of the House, who has un
dertaken the work of putting the bill
through made a canvass of Republican
members of the House, only to find
that It would be impossible to secure
a majority for a hard and fast rule
which would prevent all amendments
to the committee bill.
It has been decided, therefore, to
let the subsidy measure come up on
its merits and receive such treatment
In the way of amendment as may be
measured out to It.
Unless some further sharp practice
Is resorted to, and It Is hardly likely
the speaker Cannon would consent to
such a thing, it Is almost certain that
the proposed subsidies to the Hill and
Harriman Steamship lines from Seat
tle and San Francisco to Japan would
be cut out of the measure. There Is
a chance that the 1200,000 gifts to
Spreckels for the line he has been
running by way of Hawaii to New
Zealand and Australia may be retain
ed. If the Hill and Harriman para
graphs go through at all the amount
of the subsidy almost certainly will be
reduced. The most probable compro
mlse Is to retain the mall subsides
for the lines to South America but
changing the two lines proposed to
Rio Janlero and Buenos Ay res so that
one of them might start from a Clulf
port and the other from New York or
Ita vicinity.

AGAINST SOCIALISTS.
BERLIN, Jan. 29. It Is stated that
the Socialists will have a chance in
the re-balloting that takes place on
February 5. Reports from the pro
vinces state that the tendency among
all the other political parties Is to form
coalitions with a view", to defeating
the socialists.
The editor of the Memphis, Tenn.,
"Times" writes: "In my opinion Fo
ley's Honey and Tar is the best remedy
for coughs, colds and lung trouble, and
to my own personal knowledge Foley's
Honey and Tar has accomplished many
permanent cures that have been little
short of marvellous." Refuse any but
the genuine In the yellow packages. T

A telegram was received and posted
at the Western t'nlon office In tols
city yesterday mrning from North
Head, announcing that a four-masted
schooner, the Irene, from San Fran
cisco, vi in distress In the lower
harbor, or just beyond It. It seem-'
that the vessel came up to the bar
the night before and held off and on
till daylight, when her master took a
notion to come In. He did so, and
had cleared the bar when the wind
hauled on him and he let go his an
chor In good safe water and awaited
the coming of the tug which he knew
would not be long In heading out. The
Wallula went down on her early
schedule und son,-, had the Irene In
the city channel, ready for her up
river towage. There was never a mo
ment of danger for her. and her cap
tain was quite Indignant at being re
ported in distress when he had flown
no flags to that effect nor been In a
position to warrant their bending.

fulfil her charter with that company
for service at Nushigak Hay .luring t In
coming salmon season. Her (barter
expires on the 1st of April, so she
has severity days In which to make
goi.ti and will undoubtedly make It In
ample time. Captain Murchlson, who
has sailed before In Alaskan waters,
Is anxious to make the promise voy
age once more.
The matter of the repairing of the
British bark Melanope, now in the
lower harbor here, Is still In statue
quo, the bids for the doing of the
work having been received at Port
land and ranging from t'2'.M( to flH,
000 and the owners still undecided
just what to do In the premises. Capt.
Wills is awaiting orders. It Is said
that for either amount, a good ship
could be purchased on the English
maritime market.
